THE INVITE (2026): New Trailer From Edward Norton, Olivia Wilde, Seth Rogen, Penelope Cruz…

10 Comments

Edward Norton, Penelope Cruz, Olivia Wilde and Seth Rogen’s latest is a comedy/drama/romance directed by Wilde.

Rogen and Wilde play a couple whose marriage has seen better days. They invite their intriguing neighbours to a dinner party, and naturally, the night takes some unexpected turns.

‘We love, a contentious environment.’

I can’t get over the delightful delivery of the above line, and how it seems like a good handful of the laughs will be courtesy of Norton’s character, an actor who’s always a highlight on any cast list. Particularly since you never quite know what he’ll bring. I’m into this cast.

May the finished film be as engaging as this great trailer. Silly question, but are you excited by this too?

Skip Howland, Rachel Thurow, Mel Powell and Mario Valdez also star.

The Invite Release Dates: June 26th, 2026 (US)…

GOOD FORTUNE (2025): New Trailer Starring Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, Keanu Reeves, Keke Palmer…

Good Fortune, the latest action/comedy from writer/director and star Aziz Ansari, has a new trailer.

Also starring Keke Palmer, Keanu Reeves, Sandra Oh and Seth Rogen, the story follows Reeves as rather inept angel Gabriel, a meddler in the lives of two earthlings.

I was right when, following the first trailer, I guessed that the story would somehow connect Rogen and Ansari’s characters.

What wasn’t clear was precisely how. Now that I know, I look forward to learning how it all turns out. Especially because I like Ansari and Rogen as the main stars, and Reeves as the one to help them make sense of their lives.

I also like how this seems a little less silly than the first trailer suggested, which makes it even more promising. Are you more likely to watch Good Fortune after seeing this new trailer?

Joe Anoa’i, Sherry Cola, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jennifer Woods, Cari Shayne, Jesus Garcia and Adrian Dev also star.

Good Fortune Release Dates: October 17th, 2025 (US & UK)…

GOOD FORTUNE (2025): New Trailer From Keanu Reeves, Seth Rogen, Aziz Ansari, Sandra Oh…

Written/directed by and starring Aziz Ansari, Good Fortune is a new action comedy about an angel named Gabriel, who meddles in the lives of two earthlings.

Also starring Keanu Reeves, Sandra Oh, and Seth Rogen, it’s important to note that, though well-meaning, Gabriel is quite inept.

It’s Reeves, Ansari and Rogen. I like this mix and the promising brand of silly. Already wondering about precisely how Gabriel is going to meddle. My guess is that he’ll connect Rogen and Ansari’s characters.

Has the fun cast convinced you to tune into this one too?

Keke Palmer, Joe Anoa’i, Sherry Cola, Stephen McKinley Henderson, Jennifer Woods, Cari Shayne, Jesus Garcia and Adrian Dev also star.

MUFASA – THE LION KING (2024): The Things I Liked…

I’m happy I had fun watching Mufasa – The Lion King. Putting aside the fact that I soon found Pumba and Timone quite annoying, compared to The Lion King 2019, this time, my experience didn’t abruptly end because of the thought, ‘This looks and feels strange. Best to watch a nature documentary instead.’ 

I had no such feelings or thoughts while I watched Mufasa – The Lion King; Aaron, Pierre, Donald Glover, Seth Rogen and Mads Mikkelsen’s Barry Jenkins-directed animated adventure.  Instead, I enjoyed the music, especially after the halfway point. 

Mikkelson was a memorable villain – no surprises there. Furthermore, all the character development felt un-rushed, the story engaging, and the emotional journeys and fight sequences satisfying. As such, today, to my rather pleasant surprise, I sing the praises of Mufasa – The Lion King. I sing them, I say! 

Watch it, if you haven’t already.

Happy Film Loving,

MUFASA – THE LION KING (2024): New Trailer Starring Mads Mikkelsen, Seth Rogen, Donald Glover and Kelvin Harrison Jr…

Read my spoiler-free movie review of Mufasa The Lion King (2024).

Director Barry Jenkins’s latest movie, Mufasa – The Lion King has a new more intriguing trailer. that stars Seth Rogen, Mads Mikkelsen, Aaron Pierre and Kelvin Harrison Jr.

I’ve decided I’ll try to watch Mufasa – The Lion King. Hopefully, unlike the first CGI The Lion KIng Movie (2019), I won’t be compelled to stop because my brain tells me something is off visually. And that I should watch an actual nature documentary instead.

I also don’t want to miss the Mufasa/Scar origin story. My fingers are crossed that I make it to the movie’s end this time.

Donald Glover, Anika Noni Rose, Lennie James, Billy Eichner, John Kani, Mads Mikkelsen, Thandiwe Newton, Blue Ivy Carter, Keith David, Beyoncé, Tiffany Boone, Folake Olowofoyeku and Abdul Salis also star

Mufasa – The Lion King Release Dates: December 20th (US & UK)…
