Big budget original musicals are a rare thing in Hollywood (yes, we had La La Land, but that cost a relatively small – by Hollywood standards – $30 million), which makes The Greatest Showman something a little bit special. The first pictures from the movie, which stars High Jackman, Zac Efron, Rebecca Ferguson, Zendaya and Michelle Williams, have now arrived, and you can take a look at them below.
Here’s the synopsis: ‘“The Greatest Showman” is a bold and original musical that celebrates the birth of show business and the sense of wonder we feel when dreams come to life. Inspired by the ambition and imagination of P.T. Barnum, “The Greatest Showman” tells the story of a visionary who rose from nothing to create a mesmerizing spectacle that became a worldwide sensation. It’s is directed by exciting new filmmaker, Michael Gracey, with songs by Academy Award winners Benji Pasek and Justin Paul (“La La Land”) and starring Academy Award nominee Hugh Jackman. Jackman is joined by Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams, Zendaya, Zac Efron and Rebecca Ferguson.’

Previous promos for the movie have hidden the extraterrestrial away, but this red band trailer gives us some glimpses of monster.
Just yesterday we posted the Super Bowl spot for Life, but we may have jumped the gun, as today a new full trailer for the sci-fi flick has been released. Take a look at it below.
The poor old International Space Station. It floats around doing good for science, but in the movies it’s a hotseat of problems, whether it’s getting smashed to smithereens in Gravity, or now in Life, being the location for a dangerous first contact with alien intelligence.
