1917

By Kelly Asay

Sam Mendes, the Oscar®-winning director of Skyfall, Spectre and American Beauty, brings his singular vision to his World War I epic, 1917. At the height of the First World War, two young British soldiers, Schofield (Captain Fantastic’s George MacKay) and Blake (Game of Thrones’ Dean-Charles Chapman) are given a seemingly impossible mission. In a race against time, they must cross enemy territory and deliver a message that will stop a deadly attack on hundreds of soldiers—Blake’s own brother among them. 1917 is directed by Sam Mendes, who wrote the screenplay with Krysty Wilson-Cairns (Showtime’s Penny Dreadful). The film is produced by Mendes and Pippa Harris (co-executive producer, Revolutionary Road; executive producer, Away We Go) for their Neal Street Productions, Jayne-Ann Tenggren (co-producer, The Rhythm Section; associate producer, Spectre), Callum McDougall (executive producer, Mary Poppins Returns, Skyfall) and Brian Oliver (executive producer, Rocketman; Black Swan).No Current Trailer

‘Dark Phoenix’ Trailer 2

By Ryan Beltram

20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for Dark Phoenix. The follow-up to X-Men: Apocalypse sees our mutants attempting to control Jean Grey (Sophie Turner) as she struggles to harness her powers. This trailer reveals a possible major plot twist. But between the bad buzz this film has gotten (Multiple reshoots and bad test screenings) and Disney purchasing Fox, Dark Phoenix looks like an expensive flop that will officially end this iteration of X-Men on a whimper. The movie looks fine. But that's sort of the point. Dark Phoenix opens June 7.No Current Trailer
