Get Hammered With the Comic-Con ‘Thor: Ragnarok’ Trailer
When the first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok dropped it, rightfully, blew the internet’s damn mind. Chris Hemsworth‘s God of Thunder was in the gladiator pit with the Hulk, Jeff Goldblum donning shiny blue makeup, Tessa Thompson as a warrior, and Cate Blanchett as an antlered Marvel villain – it was incredible...
Ron Howard and Lando Calrissian Head to Hyperspace in Latest ‘Han Solo’ Photo
Just last night we got our first look at Donald Glover all dressed up as a young Lando Calrissian in the Han Solo movie. Ron Howard shared a little selfie with a shot of Glover on the monitor behind him, and this morning the director revealed another little sneak peak: a trip to Hyperspace.
Meet Guillermo del Toro’s New Magical Creature in First Trailer for ‘The Shape of Water’
Whether it’s horror, fairy tale, or a superhero movie, getting inside the mind of Guillermo del Toro is always a welcomed breaks from reality. Following the ghostly Crimson Peak, the filmmaker is returning to a more Pan’s Labyrinth-esque creature feature with The Shape of Water, though this latest film looks noticably less freaky than that 2006 favorite.
Ryan Gosling and Harrison Ford Are on the Run in New ‘Blade Runner 2049’ Trailer
The latest trailer for Denis Villeneuve’s Blade Runner 2049 is full of new dialogue and sequences that reveal plenty of new details about the sequel, but even if you watched this trailer on mute it’s a beauty. (But actually don’t watch it with the sound off because Jóhann Jóhannsson’s score is like synth porn for the ears.)
Michael Keaton’s Hitmen Go Head to Head in Bloody Red Band ‘American Assassin’ Trailer
One assassin can only be so fun. So why not have your up-and-coming newbie killer go head-to-head with your former star hitman gone rogue? That’s the basic premise of American Assassin, a blood and bullet showdown between two of Michael Keaton’s proteges.
‘James Bond’ Star Roger Moore, Dies at 89

‘Love Actually’ Is (Still) All Around in the New Red Nose Day Reunion Trailer
I could pretend to be one of those Love Actually haters (read: everyone on the internet) and say a bunch of snooty things about the beloved rom-com and its upcoming reunion sequel. I could say, “Oh gosh, here we go again with the most overrated holiday romance of the century,” or drop a couple hot takes about how it’s actually a terrible or misogynistic movie. But the truth is, (oh god, I’m about to publicly out myself here…) I love Love Actually, and I don’t care what you think. So I found the new trailer for the reunion short film in honor of Red Nose Day, kind of stupidly cute? Sue me.
Brad Pitt’s Insufferable General Is Here to Win the War in New ‘War Machine’ Trailer
In these dark and terrifying political times, it’s deeply reassuring to see a U.S. General defying the orders of the White House in times of war. That was sarcasm, and luckily Netflix’s new movie – starring Brad Pitt as a fictionalized version of Army General Stanley McChrystal – uses satire to balance the nightmare of American politics with humor.
Meet Lightning McQueen’s Newest Rival in the Latest ‘Cars 3’ Trailer
Who knew automated vehicles were also subject to the scrutiny that comes with aging? They may not have to worry about wrinkles, greying hair, or sagging skin, but when cars reach a certain age, it’s straight to the junkyard. (This incites a whole other philosophical discussion around the Cars characters and whether or not they are sentient beings – is their consciousness the engine or the frame, the ghost or the shell?) In Cars 3, racing champ Lightning McQueen (Owen Wilson) is forced to retirement as a brand new racer enters the game.
Emma Watson Will Make You Want To Delete Your Facebook in New Clips From ‘The Circle’
You know when you’re casually scrolling through Facebook reading statuses and an ad pops up for that random blender you were researching on Amazon? Or when that person you went on a really awkward Tinder date with shows up in Instagram’s recommendations to follow list? If you think the internet is terrifying now, just be glad we don’t live in a world with The Circle… yet.
New ‘The Beguiled’ Teaser Is a Very Intense Tease for Tomorrow’s New Trailer
There’s a few reasons the term ‘teaser trailer’ feels especially appropriate when describing the new Sofia Coppola drama The Beguiled. Not only is the average movie-lover excited for a new film from the Virgin Suicides director, the typical Colin Farrell fan hyped for the The Lobster actor to dig into more dramatic territory, or those missing Big Little Lies anxious for new Nicole Kidman; but this movie, about a boarding school quivering with insidious desires and sexual tension, looks to be the epitome of a tease.
All the New ‘Star Wars: The Last Jedi’ Photos From Star Wars Celebration
