A trailer has landed for Rebecca Ferguson and Chris Pratt’s latest sci-fi/crime/thriller, Mercy.

Also starring Kenneth Choi, Noah Fearnley, and Annabelle Wallis, director Timur Bekmambetov’s film has Ferguson as the AI that must decide whether Pratt’s detective character murdered his wife.

I admit it, this trailer is better than the last, and I may still be unsure about how good this will be, but I’m leaning towards giving it a try because of how it’s shot. Ultimately, I want to see if this End of Watch (2012)/ Minority Report (2002) mash-up will work.

What are your thoughts on Mercy after this second trailer?

Rafi Gavron, Chris Sullivan, Kali Reis, Kylie Rogers, Jeff Pierre, Philicia Saunders, Renata Ribeiro and Jamie McBride also star.

Mercy Release Dates: January 23rd, 2026 (US & UK)…

New sci-fi/crime/thriller Mercy has Chris Pratt playing a detective whose fate is to be determined by the AI (Rebecca Ferguson) he championed, after he’s accused of murdering his wife.

Annabelle Wallis, Kenneth Choi and Noah Fearnley are among the key cast, while Timur Bekmambetov directs.

I want this to be great, of course. But I don’t yet have the feeling it will be.

Still, I remain curious and will no doubt be very happy and pleasantly surprised if the quality of this film exceeds that of Tom Cruise and Steven Spielberg’s Minority Report (2002), which I need to rewatch forthwith.

I suspect that what may be most impressive is what the film shows us about the level to which the American public is under surveillance. Additionally, wouldn’t it be quite the twist if Pratt’s character is actually guilty?

What are your thoughts, dear reader?

BEN HUR (2016): New Trailer Starring Jack Huston, Morgan Freeman…

Today’s trailer is an interesting one. It’s the remake of a classic film of the same name and one that’s loved by many.

The movie is Ben Hur and Jack Huston is the actor in the title role that was first made famous back in 1959 by Charlton Heston.

I don’t know about this trailer. What I do know for sure is that I have to watch Charlton Heston’s much celebrated version first, if I choose to watch this one. So far, the above edit just doesn’t have that potentially ‘epic movie look and feel’ I was hoping for.

Morgan Freeman, Nazanin Boniadi, Rodrigo Santoro and Haluk Bilgner are some of the supporting cast in this Timur Bekmambetov directed ‘brother against brother’ tale of vengeance.

Ben Hur Release Dates: August 12th, 2016 (US); August 26th, 2016 (UK)…

Happy Film Loving 🙂
