AVATAR – FIRE AND ASH (2025): New Trailer From James Cameron, Starring Zoe Saldaña, Kate Winslet, Sam Worthington, Giovanni Ribisi…

12 Comments

The third instalment of director James Cameron’s Avatar films, Avatar – Fire and Ash has arrived.

Starring Giovanni Ribisi, Kate Winslet, Zoe Saldaña, Sam Worthington and Sigourney Weaver, the conflict on Pandora escalates as a new aggressive Na’vi tribe encounters Jake and Neytiri’s family, resulting in a new moral focus.

The generally impressive visuals aside, I thought I’d be more enthused by the latest Avatar trailer. However, as this trailer played, the main thing that grabbed my attention was the words from 2:08 minutes at the end.

Since I still haven’t seen Avatar – The Way of Water, perhaps I’m missing things that those who have seen it find especially exciting about this first trailer release.

How do you feel about the above two minutes and 25 seconds?

David Thewlis, Jemaine Clement, Oona Chaplin, Sam Worthington, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Stephen Lang, Jack Champion and Joel David Moore also star.

Avatar – Fire and Ash Release Dates: December 19th, 2025 (US & UK)…

THE REGIME (2024): New Trailer Starring Kate Winslet, Andrea Riseborough Matthias Schoenaerts, Martha Plimpton…

15 Comments

Kate Winslet, Andrea Riseborough, Martha Plimpton and Matthias Schoenaerts’s latest drama The Regime has a new trailer and it has grown on me since its release.

 Set in an invented Middle European autocracy and created by Will Tracy, we get to see the happenings within the walls of the palace, while an authoritarian regime unravels.

Thank goodness it seems that Winslet will appear in all the episodes of The Regime. I initially thought she’d appear in just one episode because that’s what it showed on IMDb on April 12th, 2023. It turns out they just hadn’t fully updated that key information yet.

I’m certainly excited to hear Winslet deliver more lines in that very specific accent. There’s also the seemingly inevitable scheming that’s afoot to unseat the chancellor. Bring on the dialogue-rich dramatics. I’m ready.

‘…and so, I bless you all, and I bless our love, always.’

Not creepy and sinister at all, is it? 😁

Hugh Grant, Donald Sage Mackay and Guillaume Gallienne also star.

THE REGIME (2024): New Trailer From Kate Winslet, Matthias Schoenaerts,  Martha Plimpton, Andrea Riseborough… 

19 Comments

The Regime, (previously known as The Palace) is a new HBO mini-series that’s set in an invented Middle European autocracy.

Starring Kate Winslet, Martha Plimpton, Matthias Schoenaerts and Andrea Riseborough, the drama focuses on what’s going on within the walls of the palace, as an authoritarian regime is in the midst of unravelling.

Clearly, the Chancellor/dictator isn’t the most decent and likeable of human beings. That doesn’t mean I’m not more than a tad disappointed that according to IMDB, Winslet will only appear in one episode. Especially since witnessing the power dynamic between her character and that played by Plimpton is why I’m most intrigued.

Also, hearing the words ‘I do like‘ currently has me woohooing every time I replay this wonderful trailer. I’m telling myself that since this is an HBO production, I’ll eventually get over Winslet’s ‘cameo.’ Let’s see what the non-teaser trailer has to say when it’s finally released, hopefully soon.

Are you looking forward to spending some time, perhaps a year at the palace?

Guillaume Gallienne, Hugh Grant and Donald Sage Mackay also star.

AVATAR – THE WAY OF WATER (2022): New Trailer From James Cameron, Starring Zoe Saldana, Sam Worthington, Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver, Giovanni Ribisi…

10 Comments

Director James Cameron is properly back with the finished sequel to Avatar (2009).

Avatar – The Way of Water is set more than ten years after the events of the first film. Planet Pandora is under attack once more. And Jake Sully (Sam Worthington), plus his new-found family must do everything possible to keep each other safe.

Zoe Saldana, Kate Winslet, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and Giovanni Ribisi are among the key cast.

To watch or not to watch Avatar – The Way of Water? Doesn’t that sound like the silliest question to ask a movie enthusiast? The answer is both yes and no. The former is true because all James Cameron movies are an event. A truth that arguably applies to him more than most.

Even though I may not be in the mood to watch a film about a family fighting for survival by the time this is released, I would be doing myself a disservice as a dedicated movie enthusiast by not watching it. Especially considering how impressive I found Avatar to be.

The reason the above question is not the silliest is this: No one thing is ever really loved by all, and that is the way of the human.

I’m curious, how highly anticipated is Avatar – The Way of Water for you? I haven’t been as excited as I ought to be because of all the release delays over the years. Yet, something tells me that will all change once the opening credits begin.

Jemaine Clement, Bailey Bass, Edie Falco, Joel David Moore, Chloe Coleman, Jack Champion, Cliff Curtis, Jamie Flatters, CCH Pounder, Britain Dalton, Matt Gerald and Trinity Jo-Li Bliss also star.

In new HBO crime/drama Mare of Easttown, detective Mare Sheehan (Kate Winslet) is trying to do her job while attempting to stop her own life from falling apart.

Set in a small Pennsylvania town, additional key cast includes Guy Pearce, Evan Peters, Julianne Nicholson and Jean Smart.

My interest levels were immediately high because it’s Winslet. Then lines like ‘Mare, I know what you’ve been through. And I know you’re worth saving.‘ happened. Now I’m extra curious. Especially since this trailer cleverly reveals very little.

Lastly, bring on the winning Winslet’s transformation, for I am ready.

Angourie Rice, Sosie Bacon, Izzy King, David Denman, Neal Huff, Cameron Mann, James McArdle, Kassie Mundhenk and Ben Miles also star.

Mare of Easttown Release Dates: April 18th, 2021 (US); April 19th, 2021 (UK)…
