IN THE GREY (2026): New Trailer Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Henry Cavill, Rosamund Pike, Jason Wong, Eiza González…

2 Comments

In the Grey stars Henry Cavill and Jake Gyllenhaal as elite operatives tasked with stealing back a billion-dollar fortune, resulting in a deadly game of strategy, deception and survival.

Rosamund Pike, Jason Wong and Eiza González are among the key cast.

Like every Guy Ritchie movie, this trailer too immediately piqued my interest, thanks to the rhythm, dialogue, and music.

When it comes to my favourite performances by American actors in Ritchie movies, my favourite is Matthew McConaughey in The Gentlemen (2020), then Brad Pitt in Snatch (2000), Robert Downey Jr in Sherlock Holmes (2009), then Jake Gyllenhaal in The Covenant (2023). Perhaps In the Grey will be a second entry for Gyllenhaal.

What’s your favourite performance by an American actor in a Guy Ritchie film?

Emmett J. Scanlan, Fisher Stevens, Kristofer Hivju, Kojo Attah Carlos Bardem, Darrell D’Silva, Christian Ochoa Lavernia, Karlos Klaumannsmoller, Cory Douglas Campbell and Mohammed Al Turki, Gonzalo Bouza also star.

The Bride!, Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley, Penelope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard and Jake Gyllenhaal’s latest movie has a good looking new trailer.

Directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, it’s a drama/romance/horror/sci-fi/musical film about the bride of Frankenstein.

Greetings, trailer glow up!

The teaser trailer released for this movie a few months earlier didn’t fill me with the most confidence. It’s great to see that this edit is quite the improvement. So much so that, as a known non-fan of musicals, I’m not even mad at the singing featured here.

May this be a musical in the way that The Greatest Showman (2017) is a musical. Meaning it’s good, with high-quality, brilliantly performed songs.

Is The Bride! looking better to you, too?

Penélope Cruz, Peter Sarsgaard, Annette Bening, Julianne Hough, John Magaro, Jeannie Berlin, Louis Cancelmi, Matthew Maher, Sofía Ko and Ben Elaine Apruzzese also star.

The Bride! release Dates: March 6th, (US & UK)…

Maggie Gyllenhaal is the director of The Bride! A new Frankenstein movie set in 1930s Chicago. One in which Frankenstein gets a companion after asking Dr Euphronius for help.

Christian Bale, Jessie Buckley and Jake Gyllenhaal are among the key cast.

Sure, I’m a little concerned that ‘musical’ is part of the categorisation, but I’ll let that go for now, because the cast is super and this looks like it could be good, and not too scary.

It appears that sweet vengeance is on the cards for Frankenstein and his Bride, and I’m not mad about it.

PRESUMED INNOCENT (2024): New Trailer Starring Jake Gyllenhaal, Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Peter Sarsgaard…

8 Comments

In new eight-part Apple TV series, Presumed Innocent, Jake Gyllenhaal is Rusty Sabich; the main suspect following the horrificmurder of one of his teammates.

Additional key cast includes Ruth Negga, Bill Camp, Peter Sarsgaard Lily Rabe and Kingston Rumi Southwick.

The stellar ensemble cast and the possibility of a great story are the reasons I’m curious. I’m also looking forward to watching Gyllenhaal getting to act opposite his brother-in-law, Sarsgaard.

Rusty is looking mighty guilty to me at this point. Let’s hope that the story is as tense and fun-to watch unfold as this trailer suggests.

Renate Reinsve, Roberta Bassin, O-T Fagbenle, Tate Birchmore, Chase Infiniti, Nana Mensah, Gabby Beans, Virginia Kull and James Hiroyuki Liao also star

ROAD HOUSE (2024): New Trailer From Jake Gyllenhaal, Conor McGregor, Daniela Melchior, Jessica Williams…

7 Comments

Director Doug Liman’s latest action/thriller Road House has Jake Gyllenhaal playing an Ex-UFC fighter named Dalton.

Dalton accepts a job as a bouncer at a Florida Keys roadhouse and soon finds out that things are more than he expected.

Conor McGregor, Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen and Lukas Gage are among the key cast.

This is not the kind of movie I’d typically be drawn to. But, add Gyllenhaal and my curiosity about McGregor’s performance and suddenly, look at that, I have a ticket.

I may just decide to watch the 1989 original Road House movie after all. The one starring Patrick Swayze; I hear that there’s much to see where fight choreography is concerned – another reason I have to watch this new remake.

Darren Barnet, Post Malone, Joaquim de Almeida, Dominique Columbus, Arturo Castro, JD Pardo, Beau Knapp, Hannah Love Lanier, Kevin Carroll, Bob Menery and Travis Van Winkle also star.

Road House Release Dates: March 21st, 2024 (US & UK)…
