TOY STORY 5 (2026): New Teaser Trailer, Starring Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Conan O’Brien, Ernie Hudson…

17 Comments

Directed by Andrew Stanton and McKenna Harris, Toy Story 5 has a brand new teaser trailer. One in which a very different kind of toy arrives on the scene.

I love that they got this first teaser trailer exactly right. The world of toys has indeed changed, and Disney would be missing several beats if screens/electronics weren’t part of the toy story/experience this time around.

Fingers crossed that this fifth instalment joins Inside Out 2 (2024) as one of Disney’s better animated releases in recent years. I just know that as long as Tom Hanks is around, and long may he be, I hope that new Toy Story movies will keep being made.

I wonder if a Labubu-type toy will also be featured. Perhaps that’s being saved for Toy Story 6, assuming that’s coming.

Are you also excited for this new Toy Story movie?

Tim Allen, Conan O’Brien, Ernie Hudson, Joan Cusack, Tony Hale and Blake Clark also star.

Toy Story 6 Release Dates: June 19th, 2026 (US & UK)…

Wes Anderson’s latest movie, The Phoenician Scheme is a crime/drama/comedy about a family and a family business.

Scarlett Johansson, Bryan Cranston, Tom Hanks, Benedict Cumberbatch and Benicio Del Toro are among the key cast.

I love the cast and I’m certainly not averse to Anderson’s visually pleasing and highly stylised aesthetic.

May the story be just as pleasing.

HERE (2024): New Trailer From Robert Zemeckis, Starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Michelle Dockery, Paul Bettany, Kelly Reilly…

10 Comments

Directed by Robert Zemeckis; starring Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Kelly Reilly, Michelle Dockery and Paul Bettany, Here is the story of the multiple families that lived in one specific place.

The drama captures the human experience over several generations.

Wow!

So many thoughts went through my head as this trailer played. The biggest one is, how wonderful it is to see Hanks and Wright reunited. I can’t help but consider their character’s relationship as the kind that Jenny and Forrest always deserved.

Artificial Intelligence/CGI also came to mind because I’m almost certain this movie didn’t start shooting when Hanks and Wright were still as young as they appear in the above thumbnail.

Then there’s the strong This Is Us vibes, the telling of a family’s story over different generations. I admit to not actually watching the last few seasons of This Is Us because I found that I cried at least once in every episode, which is simply too much.

Something else the Here trailer reminds me of is this moving Quaker Oats ad I saw for the first time just two weeks ago.

Will you be watching this, considering the stellar cast and filmmaking team?

Ophelia Lovibond, Dexter Sol Ansell, Ben Wiggins, Beau Gadsdon, Leslie Zemeckis, Nikki Amuka-Bird, Lilly Aspell, Joel Oulette, Stephanie Siadatan, David Fynn, Billie Gadsdon and Jonathan Aris also star.

A MAN CALLED OTTO (2022): New Trailer From Tom Hanks, Kailey Hyman, Rachel Keller, Alessandra Perez, Christiana Montoya…

10 Comments

Directed by Marc Forster; Tom Hanks, Alessandra Perez, Christiana Montoya, Kailey Hyman and Rachel Keller are the stars of A Man Called Otto. A comedy/drama about a grumpy widower who finally meets his match when he gets new neighbours.

Isn’t this just the type of Tom Hanks movie we’ve been waiting for?

I’m certainly ready for all the inevitable heartwarming goodness coming our way, especially during the festive season.

Grumpy Otto is clearly due to learn some important lessons, and I’m more than happy to watch him thaw as he does so.

Now, only if the thawing of all grumpy neighbours was as guaranteed as that of Otto. We can all dream, can’t we?

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Cameron Britton, Mike Birbiglia, Mariana Treviño, Lavel Schley, Elle Chapman, Kelly Lamor Wilson, Josefine Lindegaard, Juanita Jennings, on Donahue, Kirk Kelly, Phil Nardozzi, and Spenser Granese also star.

A Man Callo Otto Release Dates: January 6th 2023 (UK); January 13th, 2023 (US)…

Directed by Paul Greengrass; they travel hundreds of miles and face grave dangers as they search for a place that either can call home.

I’m interested because it’s Hanks and I wonder if it will be anything like the rather good True Grit (2010).
