‘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

‘Leaving Neverland’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

HBO Films has released the first trailer for Leaving Neverland. The documentary follows Wade Robson and James Safechuck, two men who allege that pop singer Michael Jackson abused them as boys. There have been allegations against Jackson for many years yet the late singer has somehow managed to avoid much negative press. This controversial doc might shed some new light on his sordid past. Part one of Leaving Neverland airs on HBO on March 3rd and part two airs the following night.No Current Trailer

‘Long Shot’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Lionsgate has released the first trailer for Long Shot. The comedy follows an unlikely romance between a shlubby political writer (Seth Rogen) and his first crush and former babysitter who also happens to be Secretary of State (Charlize Theron). Director Jonathan Levine has a great track with Rogen (50/50, The Night Before) and the pairing of Rogen and Theron is so unique it just might work. Long Shot opens May 3.No Current Trailer

‘Ma’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Universal has released the first trailer for Ma. Octavia Spencer stars as a lonely woman who lives in a small Ohio town. When a group of teenagers ask her to buy them booze, she does them one better by letting them party in her basement. But this kind gesture eventually leads to obsession. This looks like another run-of-the-mill thriller in the vein of Single White Female. But it's nice to see Oscar-winner Spencer having a blast. Ma opens May 31.No Current Trailer

‘Yesterday’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Universal has released the first trailer for Yesterday. Directed by Danny Boyle, the film follows Jack Malik (Himesh Patel), a struggling musician. When Jack gets knocked out during a global blackout, he awakens to learn that no one other than him remembers the songs of The Beatles. Now he can finally live his dream of being a successful musician. But at what cost? This is a great premise that hopefully balances the "artist trying to find his own voice" story with the romance. Yesterday opens June 28.No Current Trailer

‘Shaft’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

New Line Cinema has released the first trailer for Shaft. A sequel to the long forgotten 2000 film, Shaft stars Samuel L. Jackson in the titular role as a badass private eye cleaning up the streets. I kind of enjoyed the 2000 film because it was treated as a throwback cop movie from the '70s plus Christian Bale and Jeffrey Wright were terrific bad guys. This new version seems to be going in an entirely different direction as more of a buddy cop movie. It makes sense considering its summer release, but I'm a little worried. A lot of the jokes fall flat and director Tim Story doesn't have a great track record. Nevertheless, Shaft opens June 14.No Current Trailer

‘Dumbo’ International Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Disney has released a new international trailer for the live-action remake of Dumbo. Tim Burton directs the classic Disney tale of a baby elephant born with big ears who has the ability to fly. While Burton seems like an out-of-the-box choice for this, he certainly has a track record for telling stories about outsiders so this might be the perfect fit. Dumbo opens March 29.No Current Trailer

‘Hobbs & Shaw’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for Hobbs & Shaw. A spinoff of the Fast & Furious franchise, the movie follows Dwyane Johnson and Jason Statham's characters reluctantly working together to stop a madman (Idris Elba) from destroying the world. This trailer is exactly what I was hoping for. A fun buddy cop movie with ridiculous action sequences and Johnson and Statham essentially winking at the camera and having a blast. Hobbs & Shaw opens August 2. Take my money.No Current Trailer

‘Hanna’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Amazon Studios has released the first trailer for their upcoming series, Hanna. An adaptation of the underrated 2011 film of the same name, Hanna follows a young girl trained to be a killer by her father (Joel Kinnaman). Mireille Enos also stars as the CIA agent trying to track her down. This trailer feels like a carbon copy of the 2011 film. But it's an interesting concept and I'm intrigued to see this world expanded into a series. The trailer also reveals that the first episode will be available to watch for Prime members for 24 hours following the Super Bowl. The entire series will be available to stream in March.No Current Trailer

‘Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

The first trailer for Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile has been released. Zac Efron stars as Ted Bundy, the notorious serial killer from the 1970s. The vibe from this trailer is not what I was expecting. Instead of being a dark, psychological exploration into the mind of Bundy, Vile appears to be more of an examination with the celebrity and media fascination with serial killers. Maybe it's just a bad trailer with horrible music, but this looks like a misfire. Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile will make its debut at this year's Sundance Film Festival. A release date has not yet been set.No Current Trailer

‘The Beach Bum’ Redband Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

Neon has released a new redband trailer for The Beach Bum. Matthew McConaughey stars as Moondog, a mostly high individual bouncing around Miami. This looks like a cross between Lebowski and McConaughey's real life persona as a laid-back dude just livin life. Director Harmony Korine's signature neon-colored tone is on full display and the supporting cast, including Jonah Hill, Isla Fisher, Snoop Dogg and Zac Efron, is eclectic. The Beach Bum opens March 22.No Current Trailer

‘The Hummingbird Project’ Trailer

By Ryan Beltram

The first trailer for The Hummingbird Project has been released. The film follows cousins Vincent (Jesse Eisenberg) and Anton (Alexander Skarsgard) as they plot to run a line of fiber-optic cable underground from Kansas to New Jersey in order to gain an edge in high-frequency trading. The plot of this movie is so random and preposterous, I half-expected it to be based on a true story (It isn't). Nevertheless, it looks like the team behind it knows this and just wanted to make an entertaining movie. We'll wait and see. The Hummingbird Project opens March 15.No Current Trailer
