Starring Emma Watson, Luke Evans, Ewan McGregor and Dan Stevens, 2017 is the year for another live-action movie version of a classic Disney fairytale. This time it’s Beauty & The Beast.
I already love the music and visuals in this beautiful trailer tease. I also wouldn’t mind staying in that palace for a day or many. Preferably, many days.
Beauty & The Beast Release Dates: March 17th, 2016 (US & UK); March 29th (FR)…

Today’s trailer stars Damian Lewis, Stellan Skarsgård, Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris. All are reasonably reliable names when it comes to how good a film is likely to be.
Quite unexpectedly though, after watching this preview, the question that’s lingering in my mind is why I’m not currently filled with complete confidence about the expected quality of the finished product. The answer is in a combination of things. There’s the general look and feel which isn’t particularly cinematic.
I’d hoped for more in terms of music choice, sound, dialogue – its delivery and the trailer’s general execution. Especially in terms of how gripped I am by what I’m seeing. Even more so considering the fact that Our Kind of Traitor is a thriller based on a best selling book by the author of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011).
I’d love to be wrong because I want to believe the trailer editor has simply made some – in my opinion, questionable choices, which would then mean the finished product and perhaps a later version of the trailer will be better. I’d much rather that be true than the idea that this movie won’t be great. I truly would like to be wrong. Except, I wasn’t wrong about Burnt (2015).
What do you think?

Exploring the life and music of celebrated jazz musician, Miles Davis; Miles Ahead is directed by, and stars Don Cheadle.
I like the approach taken with this trailer, the style, editing and pace is very engaging.
It also looks like Mr. Davis had quite the sense of humour. Something that must have been fun to be around. Except of course, if you’ve wronged him in any way. Bring on the great music music.
Ewan Mcgregor and Emayatzy Corinealdi also star.
Miles Ahead Release Date(s): April 1st, 2016 (US); April 22nd, 2016 (UK)…

Directed by Gavin O’Connor; Natalie Portman’s latest, Jane Got A Gun is a western; a fact you may have guessed from the title alone.
It looks like the movie will be good, especially with a promising cast that also includes Joel Egerton, Rodrigo Santoro and Noah Emmerich.
May it be close as impressive as True Grit (2010) because that movie is fantastic!
Jane Got A Gun Release Date(s): January 29th, 2016 (US); May 20th, 2016 (UK)

I remember being very excited after seeing the Mordecai teaser trailer in late 2014, for reasons including very promising dialogue and Johnny Depp.
What I didn’t anticipate is that upon seeing the David Koepp-directed movie, my favourite thing about it would be the aerial shot special effects for the film’s various locations.
Why this particular response? It’s the overcooked accents that spoilt the experience for me. Not to say that everything else about the movie is great, mind you. It may simply be the case that Charlie Mordecai’s particular brand of eccentricity is really just best enjoyed in small doses. I.e. the movie’s fun trailer.
Am I missing something? Did anyone absolutely love it?
Happy Film Loving,
