In new family/fantasy Christmas movie Noelle, Santa Claus retires but his son (Bill Hader) gets cold feet about taking over. It therefore falls to his daughter Noelle (Anna Kendrick) to take over the family business.

From writer/director Marc Lawrence; additional key cast members include Shirley McLaine, Billy Eichner and Julie Hagerty.

Watching this trailer just transported me to a place where I’m dressed in elf pyjamas and have a warm cup of coco in my hands.

I’m ready for all the Christmassy goodness plus that special Kendrick humour. Anyone else?

Alison Araya, Lina Renna, Chelah Horsdal, Alvina August, Michael Gross, Kingsley Ben-Adir, Lee Shorten and Diana Maria Riva also star.

Noelle Release Dates: November 12th, 2019 (US & UK…), Disney+ / Internet…

Four Lions (2010) director and co-writer Christopher Morris has a new comedy starring Anna Kendrick, Merchánt Davis, Denis O’Hare and Danielle Brooks.

Set in the Miami projects, in The Day Shall Come, Davis plays Moses, an impoverished preacher who’s offered cash to save his family from eviction. What poor Moses doesn’t know is that his sponsor works for the FBI who have plans to turn him into a criminal…

The Day Shall Come kind of looks like one of those films people either love or hate. I’m hoping I’ll be in the former camp. Especially since I haven’t seen Morris’s most famous work Four Lions but I’ve heard good things.

The fact that I enjoyed the talking horse towards the end of this trailer must be a good sign, surely.

Kayvan Novak, Jim Gaffigan, Miles Robbins, Pej Vahdat, Adam David Thompson, Mousa Kraish and James Adomian also star.

The Day Shall Come Release Dates: September 27th, 2019 (UK)…

Blake Lively, Anna Kendrick and Linda Cardellini are the stars of Paul Feig’s latest, a crime / mystery / thriller, A Simple Favor. 

Kendrick is a mommy vlogger who seeks to uncover the truth behind her best friend’s sudden disappearance…

I only really know Feig for his hit comedy films. Namely Bridesmaids (2011) and  Spy (2015). May his transition to the non-comedy category also prove fruitful.

I  can’t say that I’m a fan of the various moments of ‘dialogue minus imagery’ in this trailer, yet I am intrigued and I like Lively and Kendrick enough to take a chance.

Henry Golding, Rupert Friend, Eric Johnson and Sarah Baker also star.

A Simple Favor Release Dates: September 14th, 2018 (US); September 21st, 2018 (UK)…
