THEY WILL KILL YOU (2026): New Trailer Starring Zazie Beetz, Heather Graham, Patricia Arquette, Myha’la…

10 Comments

Directed by Kirill Sokolov, They Will Kill You is a new action/comedy/horror film starring Zazie Beetz, Patricia Arquette, Heather Graham and Myha’la.

Beatz plays a young woman who takes a job as a housekeeper in a mysterious NYC high-rise building. Little does she know, there’s more to the job than she planned for.

Hello, Badass Beatz! I absolutely love this role for her. Gruesome, yes. But, oh, so cool and heroic, which is why I’ll be watching. And, you’ve got to love that punch just after 1:50 seconds, right? Delicious, I say!

Has anyone else noticed Arquette’s character’s intriguing accent? It has hints of British, no?

Tom Felton, Heather Graham, Armando Rivera, Darron Meyer, Gabe Gabriel, Chris van Rensburg and Megan Alexander also star.

They Will Kill You Release Dates: March 27th, 2026 (US & UK)…

GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE (2025): New Trailer Starring Sam Rockwell, Michael Peña, Juno Temple, Zazie Beetz…

10 Comments

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die is the latest action/sci-fi/adventure from director Gore Verbinski.

Starring Sam Rockwell, Juno Temple, Zazie Beetz and Michael Peña, Rockwell plays an unhoused-looking man from the future. One who’s on a mission to recruit people to help him extinguish the terminal threat of a rogue artificial intelligence.

I love the title of this one. And if this trailer is anything to go by, we have plenty of laughter, great pacing and Rockwell magic in store.

Also, given what’s shown between 1:27 and 1:31 in this trailer, there might be some scares, too. I’m just glad that horror isn’t listed as a sub-category.

May this please be a well-executed film about the dangers of AI. What do you think of our chances?

Haley Lu Richardson, Stevel Marc, Tom Taylor, Tanya van Graan, Cassiel Eatock-Winnik, Georgia Goodman, Asim Chaudhry and Dino Fetscher also star.

JOKER – FOLIE À DEUX (2024): New Trailer Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Lady Gaga, Catherine Keener, Zazie Beetz…

21 Comments

Starring Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga; it’s time for that long-awaited new Joker – Folie À Deux (Madness for Two) trailer.

I’m quite sure that the story that director Todd Phillips has chosen to tell will be engaging. Nevertheless, since many iterations of the Joker story have been told, it’s not the story that is pulling me in. Rather, it’s my curiosity about the performances and especially the visuals.

Part of what made Joker 2019 a must-see was the deep dive into his origin story, like never before. Now that we’re in the phase where he’s finally gained power, it will be interesting to see if this second part is presented in a way that doesn’t feel too much like a repetition of the ’empowered Joker story’. To begin with, Joker – Folie À Deux is a musical, which is certainly different.

What are your thoughts after seeing the above trailer?

Brendan Gleeson, Steve Coogan, Zazie Beetz, Ken Leung, Jacob Lofland, Gattlin Griffith, Leigh Gill Sharon Washington, Troy Metcalf, Harry Lawtey, Tim Dillon, George Carroll and Mike Houston also star.

JOKER – FOLIE À DEUX (2024): New Trailer From Todd Phillips, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie Beetz, Lady Gaga, Catherine Keener…

18 Comments

Joker – Folie À Deux (Madness for Two), the highly anticipated sequel to the story of Gotham City’s most beloved villain is soon upon us.

Directed and co-written by Todd Philips, this time, Joaquin Phoenix is joined by Lady Gaga, Steve Coogan, Brendan Gleeson and Catherine Keener to name just a few.

Admittedly, much of the subject matter of Joker (2019) made me sad. Thankfully, however, all the tragic material was balanced by the plenty there was to appreciate as far as great filmmaking is concerned. It is largely for this reason, plus my general appreciation of the talents of Phoenix and Phillips, that we can all consider my ticket for this release well and truly purchased.

We all have to suffer for our art sometimes, right? In this case, it’s suffering for the art I love to consume, as opposed to the art that I’m creating.

Another way I’ll potentially suffer while watching this is because I dislike, am turned off by and largely HATE 99.9% of musicals. But, hey. I at least have to try in this case, right?

Lastly, can Phillips, Joaquin and I also consider your ticket for Joker – Folie à Deux, well and truly purchased? Confirm at once!

NINE DAYS (2020): New Trailer Starring Winston Duke, Bill Skarsgård, Zazie Beetz, Benedict Wong…

Nine Days is a new drama/fantasy film about a reclusive man as he conducts a series of interviews with human souls, to determine which one can be born on earth.

From writer/director Edson Oda; Nine Days stars Bill Skarsgård, Zazie Beetz, Winston Duke and Benedict Wong.

I’m so curious to see how the topic of ‘pre-life’ will be covered because I have so many questions. For example, what is pre-life really like and why is life on earth so very appealing? To what extent can a soul know the type of life experience they’re likely to have once on earth? How much joy versus suffering? What kind of human being are they likely to become? And so on.

In part because of the premise, this trailer and the one for Sound of Metal are in my top five of 2020’s best indie trailers.

Tony Hale, Geraldine Hughes, David Rysdahl, Arianna Ortiz, John Forker, Perry Smith, Dave Bresnahan, Logan Smith, Rachelle Hardy, Lisa Starrett and Sammie Edgington also star.

Nine Days Release Dates: January 27th, 2021 (US)…
