THE PIPER Trailer (2024) Charlotte Hope, Thriller Movie THE PIPER Trailer (2024) Charlotte Hope, Julian Sands, Thriller Movie © 2024 - Samuel Goldwyn Films / Tubi Films An exclusive clip from The Piper reveals a high-stakes story with sinister music. The movie touches on authoritarianism and misogyny. The Piper may become a standout horror movie due to its unique pairing of music and supernatural elements. The premiere of the horror movie The Piper is just around the corner, which is why Samuel Goldwyn Films has teamed up with Collider to share an exclusive clip that underscores the high stakes involved in the story. The sneak peek also hits home because it showcases one of the final performances of Julian Sands (A Room With a View) who passed away last year. The Piper centers around a young composer who unveils a deadly secret embedded in her late mentor's concerto. The film hits theaters this Friday, March 8. The clip from The Piper that we can share with you now reveals a game-changing moment in the story. In it, Mel (Charlotte Hope) has just made an important discovery that pushes her to urge Gustafson (Sands) not to play the music composed by Katharine (Louise Gold). To us viewers it's quite obvious that there's something sinister going on with the music, since the members of the orchestra seem to enter a trance as they play it, with no regard for their limits and physical safety — ironically, this also happens with people who get too obsessed with perfection, so there will be a fine line between reality and horror tropes. The scene also reveals that The Piper will touch on some relevant subjects such as authoritarianism and misogyny. The clip makes it clear that Gustafson holds himself in high regard and probably sees himself as a genius — which doesn't allow room for anyone else's input, much less a young student's. His power play will surely have some consequences, but we'll have to wait till Friday to see what they are. Who Is The Team Behind 'The Piper?' The Piper is written and directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen, an Icelandic filmmaker who previously helmed Kuldi and the boogeyman horror film Child Eater. The cast of The Piper also features Kate Nichols (Cobweb), Alexis Rodney (Willow), Oliver Savell (Belfast), Pippa Winslow (The King's Man), Philip Christopher (Origin), and breakout young star Aoibhe O’Flanagan. The movie has the potential to stand out because it's rare to see a combination of a musical setting with supernatural elements. Should Thoroddsen conduct it wisely, The Piper could surprise viewers at every turn. The clip certainly suggests a pretty dark story and horror movie fans could all be gearing up to witness one of the year's must-watch titles. The Piper comes to select theaters on Friday, March 8. You can watch our exclusive clip above. Check out the official trailer for the new horror thriller "The Piper," featuring one of the final performances from English character actor Julian Sands, who sadly passed away last year. In this film, which appears to offer a dark twist on the classic Pied Piper fable, Sands portrays a world-renowned maestro with sinister intentions. The story centers around a young flutist and composer, played by Charlotte Hope (known for "The Nun" and "Game of Thrones"), who is challenged by her conductor (Sands) to push her boundaries and create music that is "dangerous and controversial." Encouraged to complete her mentor's unfinished concerto, she unwittingly summons dark and malevolent forces through her music. Written and directed by Icelandic horror filmmaker Erlingur Thoroddsen, known for the 2017 psychological thriller "Rift," "The Piper" stands as one of Julian Sands's final performances. Sands, celebrated for his diverse filmography spanning roles in "A Room with a View" (1985), "Warlock" (1989), "Arachnophobia" (1990), "Leaving Las Vegas" (1995), and "Ocean's Thirteen" (2007), tragically went missing in January 2023 while hiking in Mount Baldy, California. Despite intensive search efforts hindered by rainstorms and mudslides, his remains were eventually discovered months later in June of last year. He was 65. "The Piper" is set to hit theaters and on-demand platforms on March 8th. synopsis: When a composer must finish her late mentor's concerto, she discovers that playing its music summons deadly consequences. directed by Erlingur Thoroddsen starring Charlotte Hope, Julian Sands, Aoibhe O'Flanagan, Oliver Savell release date March 8, 2024

The trailer also reveals The Regime release date is March 3, 2024. The Regime Trailer Highlights The Show's Talented Team Kate Winslet in The Regime Other than its intriguing story, The Regime trailer also showcases the many talents involved in the HBO limited series. First off, Winslet is the face of it all, known for her Oscar-nominated performances in Sense and Sensibility, Titanic, Iris, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Little Children, The Reader, and Steve Jobs. However, her television resume is equally impressive, with Emmy-winning performances in the HBO miniseries Mildred Pierce and Mare of Easttown. Based on The Regime trailer, it appears Winslet is primed for another Emmy nomination. RELATED 10 Actresses Who Deserve More Than One Oscar 21 actresses have received more than one Academy Award for acting. But who among the previous winners deserves the join that esteemed list? Other than Winslet, much of The Regime cast are Oscar and Emmy-recognized actors. Academy Award nominee Riseborough (To Leslie) plays the Palace Manager, who acts as the Chancellor's right-hand woman. Emmy Award winner Plimpton (The Good Wife) plays the U.S. Secretary of State who seeks to protect American interests in the fictional European country, while Emmy Award nominee Grant (HBO's The Undoing) plays the Leader of the Opposition whose imprisonment inspires widespread public protests. The Regime is also led by a talented team behind the scenes. The series is from Tracy and Frank Rich, executive producers of Succession, and it appears their new HBO show is a similar political satire. The six-episode limited series is also directed by Stephen Frears and Jessica Hobbs, who have plenty of experience with palace intrigue directing The Queen and episodes of The Crown, respectively.

DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Trailer (2024) Deadpool 3, Ryan Reynolds DEADPOOL & WOLVERINE Trailer (2024) Deadpool 3, Ryan Reynolds, Action Movie © 2024 - Disney Deadpool is slicing his way into the Marvel Cinematic Universe — and the record books. The first trailer for “Deadpool and Wolverine,” which debuted Sunday during the Super Bowl, has broken the record for the most-viewed movie trailer within 24 hours with an astounding 365 million total views, per Disney. The previous record holder was the trailer for fellow Marvel movie “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” which had 355.5 million online views in its first 24 hours back in 2021. Deadpool had some help from this year’s Super Bowl, which ended up as the most-viewed telecast of all time and reached 123.7 million viewers. Sunday night’s game had the highest number of people watching the same broadcast in the history of television — and it no doubt helped that superstar Taylor Swift was in attendance rooting for the Kansas City Chiefs and her boyfriend, Travis Kelce. “Deadpool and Wolverine” hits theaters on July 26 and marks the introduction of Ryan Reynolds‘ R-rated Merc With a Mouth into Disney’s family-friendly Marvel Cinematic Universe. Deadpool, who previously starred in two standalone Fox movies, made fun of Disney in the first bloody, fourth-wall-breaking trailer. Dubbing himself “Marvel Jesus,” Deadpool arrives in the MCU after being kidnapped by the Time Variance Authority, the multiverse managers last seen in “Loki,” and finds himself in the same world as the Avengers. Though his face isn’t seen in the trailer, Hugh Jackman’s Wolverine also jumps from the “X-Men” universe into the MCU in the third “Deadpool” movie. Directed by Shawn Levy, the film also includes Emma Corrin, Morena Baccarin, Rob Delaney, Leslie Uggams, Karan Soni and Matthew Macfadyen. Kevin Feige, Reynolds, Levy and Lauren Shuler Donner produce “Deadpool and Wolverine,” with Louis D’Esposito, Wendy Jacobson, Mary McLaglen, Josh McLaglen, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, George Dewey, Simon Kinberg and Jonathon Komack Martin serving as executive producers. It’s written by Reynolds, Rhett Reese, Paul Wernick, Zeb Wells and Levy.

LA MADRE Trailer (2024) Thriller Movie LA MADRE Trailer (2024) Thriller Movie © 2024 - Tubi LA MADRE (2024) on TUBI is a thriller “inspired by true events”. It’s also incredibly offensive. Yes, even for a TV movie. A real shame as it deals with a serious subject. Read our full La Madre movie review here! LA MADRE (2024) is a new TUBI thriller in the true crime genre. Or really, it’s labeled as “inspired by true events”. Then again, so was Tell No Lies and this was grossly misrepresenting the real story. This time, the story is about human trafficking with a mother doing whatever she can to get her daughter back home. Unfortunately, the amount of offensive details (to Mexicans and Mexican immigrants living in the US) are downright grotesque. Continue reading our La Madre review below. Find it on TUBI on January 25, 2024. This movie is bad. Really bad! In La Madre, is about a young girl, Eva, who is kidnapped by a Mexican cartel. She lives in the US with her mom and sister, but has gone over the border to party with a “friend”. While the kidnapping is about a ransom, it’s also about human trafficking, so we’re dealing with very serious subjects. Unfortunately, this subject isn’t really at the core of the movie. Instead, it’s the drama between family members and “mom” being tough. We’ve seen this story many times before. However, this time it’s a woman, You know, like in The Mother or many of the other movies. Still, La Madre goes more of the 1980s or 1990s route; Tiny story and a lot of posturing! Also, strangely, the mom quickly becomes part of the police investigation to the point that she’s wearing a police vest and running into buildings first. Of course, she can also find out things that the police have struggled with for years. Not only is this movie offensive to Mexico and Mexicans (as well as descendants of Mexicans going back generations) in so many ways, but it’s also just really bad storytelling. The power of language In La Madre, virtually everyone speaks English with a Spanish accent. It does not matter if we’re actually in Mexico or the US. The issue for me is that they should be speaking Spanish with one another. Why wouldn’t they?! The situation is dire and everyone is upset, but virtually no Spanish is spoken between them. Instead, very thick accents are used to ensure that we know they all come from Mexico. Either born or generations back. A PRODUCTION THAT GOT THIS RIGHT In the new Netflix series Griselda, Spanish is spoken throughout > An example of when Spanish is spoken is when a US officer (with a Spanish-sounding name, of course) says “El Chacal”. But don’t worry, despite speaking with a woman who also has a solid Spanish accent, he translates it for her: “The Jackel”. Okay, and a kid has no name but is simply called “El Nino”. It’s like DuoLingo for beginners but with accents instead of actual languages. It is so grotesquely offensive on so many levels. Including how all Mexicans (or descendants of Mexicans) are either criminals, extremely naive or have been part of a gang in their youth. Watch La Madre on TUBI now! La Madre was written and directed by Mitchell Altieri, who immigrated from Brazil. And I have to say that I wasn’t surprised as I couldn’t imagine someone originating from Mexico would make a movie this offensive to Mexicans. Writer/Director Mitchell Altieri is also better known as part of “The Butcher Brothers” with Phil Flores. They have made quite a few horror movies with IMDb ratings around 4, but also a few with ratings on the good side of 5. Obviously, this is a TV movie (produced by MarVista) now on TUBI, so you shouldn’t expect too much. Having said that, I have watched many movies that are much better on TUBI and from MarVista, so it’s hardly an excuse. La Madre is on TUBI from January 25, 2024. Details Director: Mitchell Altieri Writer: Mitchell Altieri Stars: Tamara Mazarrasa, Alejandra Corman, Javier Dulzaides, Giovanna Reynaud, Lucía Tinajero, Samantha Orozco Plot A devoted single mother embarks on a perilous journey to save her kidnapped daughter, defying all odds and risking everything to bring her home safely.

MY SOLE DESIRE Trailer (2024) Zita Hanrot, Drama Movie MY SOLE DESIRE Trailer (2024) Zita Hanrot, Romance, Drama Movie © 2024 - Film Movement This month’s picks include a coming-of-age story set in Quebec, an observational Tunisian drama, an erotic French movie about a strip club and more. Share full article Two girls in coats sit indoors talking to each other. Sharon Fontaine-Ishpatao and Yamie Grégoire in “Kuessipan.”Credit...Filmoption International By Devika Girish March 8, 2024 ‘Kuessipan’ Stream it on Amazon Prime Video. This gorgeous French Canadian drama opens with two orbs of light approaching the camera in a dark, nocturnal frame. Slowly, the joyous faces of a pair of young Innu girls come into view, bathed in the glow of headlamps, as they delight in a night-fishing expedition with their families. “Kuessipan” jumps ahead soon after to Mikuan and Shaniss’s teen years, fraught with conflicts and complications, but that luminous sense of possibility lingers throughout. The two girls are still close, but lead entirely different lives. The studious, ambitious Mikuan dreams of going to university outside the reservation and becoming a writer, while Shaniss struggles to raise her baby with her abusive husband. The director, Myriam Verreault, beautifully mixes joy and tragedy, offering a view of Indigenous life that feels both authentic and bereft of cliché. As both Mikuan’s naïve optimism and Shaniss’s cynicism are tempered over the course of the film, they arrive at a truth somewhere in the middle: that while the world is an unfair and unequal place, they can dream of a different one. ‘Under the Fig Trees’ Rent or buy it on most major platforms. Erige Sehiri’s film was Tunisia’s submission to the international feature category at the Oscars this past year, and it’s unfortunate that it wasn’t nominated, because this observational drama is a miraculous, and very worthy, gem. Sehiri builds a simmering, sun-swept film out of small, everyday gestures and passions. The movie follows a day in the life of a rural community of fig pickers. As the camera probes into the thickets of the fig trees, it captures the minute dramas that unfold in the cover of the rustling green leaves. Lovers — former, and to-be — flirt in these gentle shadows; women swap stories about their home lives and their dreams; the employer exploits the laborers, and they, in turn, plot to steal his fruit. The actors are mostly nonprofessionals, and their rhythms are naturalistic. Shot in tactile close-ups crisscrossed by leaves and branches, “Under the Fig Trees” gives the impression of peeking behind the veil — of being privy to the intimate spaces that those who lack privacy or leisure carve out within the tedium of survival. ‘Kaathal — The Core’ Stream it on Amazon Prime Video. Indian cinema has seen a wave of queer-themed commercial movies since gay sex was decriminalized in a Supreme Court decision in 2018. (See, for example, the 2022 comedy “Badhaai Do.”) The new Malayali-language drama “Kaathal — The Core” is the latest entry in this trend, and one of the most sensitive and intelligent films I’ve seen about the far-reaching scourge of homophobia in a patriarchal society. In a village in South India, the respectable Mathew (the superstar Mammootty, in an audaciously unconventional role) is the local leftist party’s choice of candidate for the City Council election. But no sooner than his candidacy is announced, his wife’s divorce petition, which accuses him of having an affair with another man and neglecting her, becomes public. What emerges is a drama that takes on difficult questions with surprisingly gentleness, eschewing scandal or violence. Mathew’s party is supportive of him, but his comrades also seem to be tokenizing him opportunistically against his will. While Mathew is spared any bullying in public, his lower-caste lover is subjected to all kinds of taunts. And in the courtroom, an extraordinary scene unfolds: Mathew’s wife (Jyothika) recounts — kindly, patiently — the pain that his refusal to accept himself and give her a divorce has inflicted on her over 20 years of arranged marriage. What begins as a case of “outing” becomes a much more complex consideration of the ways in which different oppressions are all interlinked, making freedom a fight for all of us. ‘Never Too Late for Love’ Stream it on Ovid. A feel-good drama about an aging couple’s autumnal love story might sound trite, but Gianni Di Gregorio’s film “Never Too Late for Love” turns this premise into something fresh and funny. Astolfo, a retired professor based in Rome, returns to his ancestral home in the village of Abruzzo after being evicted from his city apartment. His decaying, 500-year-old family mansion is full of surprises: a man has been squatting there for more than a decade; the church adjacent to the building has unceremoniously taken over some of the rooms; and water leaks — nay, pours — from the priest’s quarters above into the kitchen stove below. Amid all this madness, Astolfo meets the charming Stefania — but their romance is a mere subplot. The title notwithstanding, the meat of “Never Too Late for Love” is all of the provincial pettiness that Astolfo suddenly finds himself embroiled in. Forming a community of sad-sack men with the squatter and a local handyman, our kindly hero takes on the unctuous priest and the corrupt mayor, in a small-town comedy that sparkles with unique characters and heartwarming wit. ‘My Sole Desire’ Stream it on Film Movement Plus or rent it on all major platforms. Think “Hustlers” but with explicit nudity, queerness and a cameo by the American documentarian Frederick Wiseman. That’s “My Sole Desire,” a delightful French drama by actress and director Lucie Borleteau. Starring Zita Hanrot and Louise Chevillotte, the film exudes neon-drenched sensuality from its very first scenes, as we, along with Chevillotte’s Manon, a graduate-school dropout struggling to make rent, enter the Parisian club known as À mon seul désir. Here, in a semiprivate room, beautiful women in sexy lingerie enact inventive erotic scenarios for a paying audience of googly-eyed men (including Wiseman, at one point). The strength of “My Sole Desire” is how tenderly it balances both the creativity that the strippers find in their craft, and the danger and precarity that always lurk in their interactions with men. Hanrot’s Mia dreams of becoming an actress, and in a moment at once hilarious and touching, incorporates Chekhov into her strip show to impress a theater director in the audience. Even as the film ventures into more melodramatic territory — Manon and Mia fall in love, bringing about complications of desire and morality — these strip performances remain exuberant and joyous, an unapologetic display of female sexuality.

Director Sherren Lee (Someone Not There, Dino Dana, Murdoch Mysteries) explores what happens when a near tragedy turns into hope in the upcoming romance, Float. Check out the film’s stars, Andrea Bang and Robbie Amell, in the above clip from the film. The synopsis for Float reads as follows: “Waverly (Bang) thought she had her future figured out. She’d start her medical residency in Toronto after a summer visit to her parents in Taipei. When her plans are suddenly changed, she makes an impulsive detour to a small Canadian town, where she meets local lifeguard Blake (Amell). After he saves her from nearly drowning at a beach party, Blake offers to teach Waverly to swim, and as the lessons continue, the two unexpectedly find themselves falling in love. But will Blake’s ties to his past and Waverly’s plans to begin a new job keep them apart once summer ends?” RELATED: Romantic Movies To Watch With Your Partner On Valentine's Day Float Drops in Time for Valentine's Day Float LionsgateLionsgate In addition to directing the romance, Float, Sherren Lee helped pen the screenplay alongside co-writer, Jesse LaVercombe. LaVercombe is best known as an actor (Murdoch Mysteries, Height Markers, Air Crash Investigation), but the thespian also wrote the 2017 short, The Things You Think I’m Thinking. Check out a number of images from Float, courtesy of Lionsgate, below: Code 8's Robbie Amell (The Tomorrow People, The Flash, The Witcher) portrays the local lifeguard, Blake, who rescues Waverly (Bang) from drowning in Float. The near-death experience takes a promising turn, though, as the two youngsters begin to fall in love. Director Sherren Lee’s Float is based on the 2022 young adult book of the same name, which found life on Wattpad, and is written by author Kate Marchant (Whistleblower). In the book, the coming-of-age story follows 17-year-old Waverly as she leaves Fairbanks, Alaska to spend her vacation in Holden, Florida with her aunt. So, fans can already see that Lionsgate and the film's creative team have taken liberties with the source material. Coming from ice-cold Alaska to the Sunshine State comes as a shock to the teenager, to say the least. But as Waverly and Blake grow closer, summertime slowly slips away. And what’s worse is that Waverly may have to learn to let go of true love, as the summer ends, even though the teenager has finally found where it is that she truly belongs. The PG-13 romance also stars Michelle Krusiec (One World, Nice Girls Crew, A Million Miles Away) and Andrew Bachelor (Black Jesus, King Bachelor’s Pad, Sneakerheads). Float drops Friday, February 9 in select cinemas, digitally and on-demand. Check out the official trailer below:

SHE IS CONANN Trailer (2024) Bertrand Mandico SHE IS CONANN Trailer (2024) Bertrand Mandico, Action, Fantasy Movie © 2024 - Altered Innocence Experimental French filmmaker Bertrand Mandico isn’t for everyone — i.e. an acquired taste whose visions push boundaries of cinematic expression — but he’s achieved something of a cult fandom over the last three decades. After last pairing with the director on 2022’s “After Blue” and 2017’s uninhibited Venice winner “The Wild Boys” — Cahiers du Cinéma’s top film of 2018 — the distributor Altered Innocence again teams with Mandico on another provocation. His 2023 Cannes premiere “She Is Conann,” nominated for the Queer Palm before going on to play at other festivals including Locarno, is an acid-trip transgressive riff on the Conan the Barbarian myth. IndieWire shares the trailer here. Influences on the film include Tony Scott’s “The Hunger,” the works of Rainer Werner Fassbinder, Liliana Cavani’s “The Night Porter,” and Fellini’s “Satyricon.” Throw Ken Russell in there for good measure, with profane images in “She Is Conann” reminiscent of “The Devils.” Starring Claire Duburcq (“1917,” Mandico’s “After Blue”), Christa Théret (“Renoir”), Sandra Parfait (“Lupin”), Agata Buzek (“High Life”), Nathalie Richard (“Irma Vep”), and Françoise Brion (“L’Immortelle”) as the many faces of Conann — from young woman to warrior queen, each succeeding the last — along with Julia Riedler and Mandico favorite Elina Löwensohn who has starred in all his films, in the role of Rainer, the Cerberus guardian of the underworld. The 35mm-shot film follows Mandico’s typical mandate of using only in-camera practical effects with sound that is recorded and synchronized later.

The film will open February 2 at select Alamo Drafthouse locations and at the Anthology Film Archive in New York, with other screenings set for Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Denver, and more. IndieWire’s review of “After Blue,” Mandico’s last film, should set you up nicely for the kind of experience you’re in for with “She Is Conann”: “One part ‘Annihilation’ and one part ‘The Love Witch,’ and cast under the veneer of a sadistic ‘The NeverEnding Story,’ the film creates a lush — sometimes grotesque — alternate universe ruled by unique rules, creatures, and longings. Love it or hate it, you’ve never seen anything quite like ‘After Blue.'”

GHOSTBUSTERS_ FROZEN EMPIRE Trailer 2 (2024) Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Paul Rudd GHOSTBUSTERS: FROZEN EMPIRE Trailer 2 (2024) Mckenna Grace, Finn Wolfhard, Paul Rudd, Emily Alyn Lind © 2024 - Sony Pictures Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 trailer has been released, showcasing the next ghost-hunting adventure with a mix of new and original cast members. Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Logan Kim, Carrie Coon, and Paul Rudd will reprise their roles alongside Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson from the original Ghostbusters. The legacy sequel follows the storyline established in Ghostbusters: Afterlife , introducing Spengler's family and close friends as the next generation of ghost hunters. The first Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 trailer has finally dropped, revealing the official title of the next ghost-hunting adventure. The legacy sequel comes two years after Ghostbusters: Afterlife established Spengler's family and close friends as the next generation of ghost hunters. In the upcoming installment, Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace, Logan Kim, Carrie Coon, and Paul Rudd will return in their respective roles alongside original Ghostbusters cast members Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, and Ernie Hudson. Now, Sony Pictures has released the first trailer for Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. Check it out below: The new trailer teases a very different kind of Ghostbusters adventure this time around, with a frigid "Death Chill" phenomenon leaving New York City on its knees. Read the official synopsis for the sequel below: In Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire, the Spengler family returns to where it all started – the iconic New York City firehouse – to team up with the original Ghostbusters, who’ve developed a top-secret research lab to take busting ghosts to the next level. But when the discovery of an ancient artifact unleashes an evil force, Ghostbusters new and old must join forces to protect their home and save the world from a second Ice Age. What The Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Trailer Reveals About The Movie Bill Murray as Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire. While Ghostbusters: Afterlife took place in the sleepy town of Summerville, Oklahoma, New York City is back in the sequel as the central setting for the action, continuing a trend set by the two original movies in the 1980s. The setting isn't the only thing returning from the original movie, with the iconic Ghostbusters firehouse and the Ecto-1 vehicle also featured in the new trailer. The trailer also teases that original Ghostbusters characters like Dr. Peter Venkman (Murray), Dr. Raymond Stantz (Dan Aykroyd), and Winston Zeddmore (Ernie Hudson) will play a more prominent role this time around after featuring relatively sparingly in the 2021 soft reboot. In addition to all the returning Spengler family characters and Rudd's Gary Grooberson, the Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire cast includes some notable newcomers, including Patton Oswalt and Kumail Nanjiani, although it's not yet clear how they will factor into the story. Right at the very end of the new trailer, it's also revealed that there is some kind of sinister figure behind the Death Chill that afflicts the city, with a very tall, ghostly specter shown floating through the icicles. Previous Ghostbusters movies have all had a big bad, of sorts, with the previous film featuring the return of Gozer, the villain from the 1984 original. In Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2, however, it looks like the team of ghost hunters will be facing off against an antagonist the likes of which they've never faced before. Source: Sony Pictures Ghostbusters Afterlife 2 Teaser Movie Poster-1 Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire Summary: Ghostbusters: Afterlife 2 continues the story of a new generation of ghost hunters composed of Phoebe (Mckenna Grace), Trevor (Finn Wolfhard) and Podcast (Logan Kim), who received help from the original team in the previous movie. Paul Rudd returns as Gary Grooberson and franchise co-creator Ivan Reitman returns to write and produce.

THE INVISIBLE FIGHT Trailer (2024) Comedy Movie THE INVISIBLE FIGHT Trailer (2024) Comedy Movie © 2024 - Kino Lorber Here’s a fantastically wild trailer for the upcoming heavy metal kung-fu comedy The Invisible Fight. The movie looks like a freaking fun flick that king-fu fans are going to enjoy! The Invisible Fight is “a satirical take on the martial arts film, paying tribute to the genre’s Chinese wuxia roots through a Northern European story.” In the movie, “a guard on the Soviet-Chinese border survives a deadly attack but then decides to become a monk and must continually prove along the way that he’s capable of becoming the enlightened man he set out to be.” Ezoic The synopsis reads: “USSR-China border, 1973: The young soldier Rafael is on guard duty when the border falls under attack from flying Chinese kung fu warriors, leaving him the sole survivor. Utterly fascinated by the long-haired martial artists who easily dispatched his fellow guards, all while blasting forbidden Black Sabbath music from their portable radio, Rafael is struck by a revelation: he too wants to be a kung fu warrior. Looking for mentorship with few options, faith leads Rafael to seek martial arts teachers at one of the unlikeliest places: the local Eastern Orthodox monastery, where monks begin his training. With a skeptical mother, a rival monk, and a budding love interest pulling him in different directions, he finds his journey to unlock the greatest martial art of all – the almighty power of humility – is long and full of kick-ass adventures…” Ezoic The Estonian film was written and directed by Rainer Sarnet (November), and it made its world premiere at the Locarno Film Festival and also screened at Fantastic Fest and Sitges. Kino Lorber picked up the North American distribution right to the film and is lining up a theatrical, digital, and home video release in 2024. Ezoic The movie stars Ursel Tilk as Rafael and Ester Kuntu, Kaarel Pogga, Indrek Sammul, and Taimo Kõrvemaa. Wendy Lidell, SVP of Theatrical Distribution and Acquisitions for Kino Lorber said in a statement: “Delightfully inventive and riotously funny, The Invisible Fight makes it clear that the joy of kung fu cinema is celebrated worldwide, even as far as Estonia. We couldn’t be more thrilled to bring this wildly entertaining take on the genre to American audiences.” Ezoic The movie is set to open in theaters in February, starting at the Alamo Drafthouse Lower Manhattan. It will then expand into other theaters in March.

MARMALADE Trailer (2024) Joe Keery, Camila Morrone MARMALADE Trailer (2024) Joe Keery, Camila Morrone, Aldis Hodge © 2024 - Brainstorm Media Joe Keery’s newest role is just under a month away, with the Stranger Things star taking on a heist in Marmalade. The upcoming feature stars Keery as a young man who embarks on a dangerous scheme with a woman he believes is the love of his life. Today, Signature Entertainment released the first trailer for Marmalade. It’s due to arrive in theaters and On Demand on February 9 in the US, and February 12 in the UK and Ireland. As mentioned, Marmalade centers on Keery’s Baron, a recently incarcerated man chronicling his whirlwind relationship with Marmalade (Camila Morrone), the love of his life. Together, the duo crafted a plan to rob a bank that was meant to help them both, as well as give Baron a chance to care for his mother. However, Baron eventually winds up in jail with a cellmate named Otis (Aldis Hodge) who has a reputation for prison breaks. So, desperate to return to his life, Baron and Otis work together to escape and help Baron reunite with Marmalade. The trailer begins on an intense note, just as Baron and Marmalade set their plan into action. But there’s more to Baron’s story before the heist, as viewers get a glimpse into Baron’s day-to-day routine. Mundane as it seems, meeting Marmalade brings some excitement into his life, though Baron soon begins to realize there’s more to her than he once believed — and not entirely in a good way. As the trailer winds down, it teases a greater connection between Baron, Marmalade, and Otis, aiming to fulfill its promise of an “edge-of-your-seat crime-tinged romance tale.” Who Else Worked on ‘Marmalade’?

Joe Keery and Camila Morrone s Bonnie and Clyde Inspired Romance Takes Center Stage in Marmalade Signature Entertainment In 2020’s Spree, Keery played a social media obsessed rideshare driver who murders his passengers in an attempt to go viral.

He previously spoke about wanting to pursue roles that set him apart from his fan-favorite Stranger Things character. “I think shaking things up is exactly what I’ve been trying to do. I just really want to work on something that is different and with complex characters, preferably as someone with an arc who learns or grows from something,” he said during an August 2020 interview with The Playlist. “Maybe even more important than the script for me is the director, who is at the end of the day the person I’m going to be working with closest and needs to be someone I can talk to, and so far that is something I’ve been really lucky to have had happen in everything I’ve worked in.” What the Cast of Stranger Things Looks Like in Real Life Related: What the Cast of ‘Stranger Things’ Looks Like in Real Life Keery further opened up about how his childhood inspired his interest in acting, telling The Hollywood Reporter that same month, “I have three younger sisters, so the four of us would make movies together, and I would be kind of in charge.

That was maybe the beginnings of all this.” Morrone, meanwhile, juggled both acting and modeling before earning an Emmy nomination for playing Camila Alvarez-Dunne in Prime Video’s limited series Daisy Jones & the Six. She has also appeared in movies such as Death Wish, Mickey and the Bear, Valley Girl and Gonzo Girl. Daisy Jones and the Six: How the TV Adaptation Compare to Taylor Jenkins Reid’s Novel Related: How Different Is It? 'Daisy Jones and The Six’ TV Show Compared to the Book “I’ve always been a bit of a ham, and I grew up surrounded by industry people, so I always knew that [acting] was something I’d end up doing. But I was also a bit in denial,” Morrone told Interview Magazine in August. “I was in denial even with myself and I was pretending like I wasn’t going to do it. Meanwhile, I knew it was all I ever wanted to do. But being born in L.A., you’re so exposed to the industry at a young age that there is a part of you that rebels against it before you inevitably dive into it.” Morrone admitted she had reservations about becoming an actress, adding, “What has given me confidence has always been to work with a coach. I was hesitant about acting class for a really long time and then when I dove into it, you realize there are infinite possibilities to explore within this craft. I’m never going to hit perfection or know it all, so I’m just going to soak up everything.” Marmalade premieres in theaters and on demand on February 9.
