‘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

‘Rocketman’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Paramount has released the second trailer for Rocketman. The biopic follows Elton John's (Taron Egerton) rise to becoming one of the most beloved rock stars in the world. Music biopics are in right now so this was inevitable. I'm still a little concerned with Egerton singing as opposed to just lip-syncing John's voice. I'm not against real singing if it works (See: Walk the Line), but Egerton just doesn't sound like John and it might take me out of the movie. Rocketman opens May 31.No Current Trailer

‘The Highwaymen’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Netflix has released the first trailer for The Highwaymen. Starring Kevin Costner and Woody Harrelson, the film follows a pair old school Texas Rangers trying to track down the infamous Bonnie and Clyde. Whereas 1967's Bonnie and Clyde glorified the outlaws, this film paints them as ruthless killers. Costner and Harrelson seem like an interesting duo to pair up and while I'm not a fan of director John Lee Hancock's past work, this could be an entertaining Depression-era gangster film. The Highwaymen arrives on Netflix on March 29.No Current Trailer
