Pacific Rim Uprising IMAX Trailer – John Boyega and the giant robots take on the monsters

By

Synopsis: ‘The globe-spanning conflict between otherworldly monsters of mass destruction and the human-piloted super-machines built to vanquish them was only a prelude to the all-out assault on humanity in Pacific Rim Uprising.

‘John Boyega (Star Wars: The Force Awakens) stars as the rebellious Jake Pentecost, a once-promising Jaeger pilot whose legendary father gave his life to secure humanity’s victory against the monstrous “Kaiju.” Jake has since abandoned his training only to become caught up in a criminal underworld. But when an even more unstoppable threat is unleashed to tear through our cities and bring the world to its knees, he is given one last chance to live up to his father’s legacy by his estranged sister, Mako Mori (Rinko Kikuchi)—who is leading a brave new generation of pilots that have grown up in the shadow of war. As they seek justice for the fallen, their only hope is to unite together in a global uprising against the forces of extinction.

‘Jake is joined by gifted rival pilot Lambert (The Fate of the Furious’ Scott Eastwood) and 15-year-old Jaeger hacker Amara (newcomer Cailee Spaeny), as the heroes of the PPDC become the only family he has left. Rising up to become the most powerful defense force to ever walk the earth, they will set course for a spectacular all-new adventure on a towering scale.”

The film will hit cinemas March 23rd, 2018. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society Trailer – Lily James heads to the Channel Islands just after WWII

By

It’s perhaps not surprising that in the US, the movie version of Annie Barrows’ popular novel, The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, is going by the simpler title, Guernsey. However, in the UK we’re get the more verbose name for the Channel Island set film.

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Lily James plays free-spirited journalist Juliet Ashton, who forms a life-changing bond with the delightful and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey in WWII.

‘Directed by Mike Newell, the film also stars Glen Powell (Everybody Wants Some, Hidden Figures), Matthew Goode (The Imitation Game, Downton Abbey), Jessica Brown Findlay (Victor Frankenstein, Downton Abbey) and Katherine Parkinson (The IT Crowd, The Boat That Rocked) with Tom Courtenay (45 Years, Doctor Zhivago) and Penelope Wilton (The BFG, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel).’

The movie is due in UK cinemas on April 20th. Take a look at the trailer for the movie below. [Read more…]

New Rampage Trailer – Dwayne Johnson gets his very own giant gorilla monster movie

By

I don’t know whether Dwayne Johnson really wannted a role in Kong: Skull Island and didn’t get one – and so initiated his own very large gorilla movie. It seems a definite possibility, even if the gorillas here seem to have been dyeing their hair white, like the apes in Michael Crichton’s Congo!

Here’s the synopsis: ‘Primatologist Davis Okoye (Johnson), a man who keeps people at a distance, shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, silverback gorilla who has been in his care since birth. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path, Okoye teams with a discredited genetic engineer to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.’

Rampage – which oddly enough is based on a 1986 computer game (yes, really) is due out in cinemas in April. Take a look at the new trailer below. [Read more…]

Overboard Trailer – Anna Faris & Eugenio Derbez take over from Goldie Hawn & Kurt Russell

By

The 1987 Goldie Hawn and Kurt Russell comedy Overboard is fondly remembered by many. Now it’s getting a remake, with the main roles gender-swapped, and Anna Faris and Eugenio Derbez leading the cast. It’s perhaps the biggest English-language role yet for Derbez, who’s been a major force in Mexican comedy and one of the best known actors in hispanic, Spanish-language entertainment in the US.

The film follows, ‘A spoiled, wealthy yacht owner is thrown overboard and becomes the target of revenge from his mistreated employee. A remake of the 1987 comedy.’

In the original it was Goldie Hawn who played the spoiled, rich heiress, with Russell as a carpenter who gets his own back when she gets amnesia and he convinces her that they’re husband and wife. Here things are getting swapped round though, with Derbez as the wealthy ass, while Faris is the one using the amnesia to her advantage.

The film is due out next Spring. Take a look at the trailer below. [Read more…]

New A Quiet Place Trailer – Silence is golden for John Krasinski & Emily Blunt in the new thriller

By

John Krasinski seems keen to show there’s more to him than just Jim from The Office, and that’s certainly true for his second feature as a director. He’s taken the reins of a horror/thriller for A Quiet Place, and brought Emily Blunt along for the ride.

The new trailer certainly retains an air of mystery, introducing us to a seemingly post-apocalyptic world where Krasinski, Blunt and their two kids have to live in complete silence, because ‘If they can’t hear you, they can’t hunt you’. But what is hunting them, and what made those enormous rips going up the wall? As you might expect, staying completely silent at all times isn’t really feasible, so the family are in a lot of trouble.

It’s a trailer that suggests this could be a really good movie, and certainly builds the intrigue. Take a look below. The movie is due in cinemas next spring. [Read more…]
