Directed for the screen by Jon M. Chu, Wicked, the untold story of the Witches of Oz, stars Cynthia Erivo as Elphaba, a young woman misunderstood because of her unusual green skin. She has yet to discover her true power. Ariana Grande plays Glinda, a popular young woman gilded by privilege and ambition, who has yet to find her true heart.

After encountering The Wonderful Wizard of Oz, their friendship reaches a crossroads, and their lives take different paths. Glinda’s unflinching desire for popularity sees her seduced by power.

The supporting cast includes Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum, Jonathan Bailey, Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode, Bowen Yang, Bronwyn James and Keala Settle.
Co-written and directed by Colin Trevorrow, Jurassic World: Dominion continues the science fiction adventure. Chris Pratt, Bryce Dallas, Sam Neill, Jeff Goldblum and Lauren Dern are returning.
The first online poster announces the movie. I like the shot of the young boy, making the image ominous.
The plot is no longer under wraps.
The trailer is fun, with chase scenes similar to James Bond. Still, having the original cast back as the conclusion to this franchise is epic. Of course, Goldblum gets his snarky line in at the end of the trailer.
Dern returns from an eclectic career, garnering an Oscar, an Emmy and five Golden Globe awards.
Directed by Tom McGrath is the sequel to The Boss Baby, starring James Marsden and Alec Baldwin as the Templeton brothers. They are adults now and drift away from each other. Tim is now a married, stay-at-home dad. Ted is a hedge fund CEO.
But a new boss baby with an innovative approach and a can-do attitude is about to bring them together again… and inspire a new family business.
Also starring in the movie are Jeff Goldblum, Ariana Greenblatt, Jimmy Kimmel, Lisa Kudrow, Eva Longoria, and Amy Sedaris.
Written and directed by Drew Pearce, Hotel Artemis appears to be a black comedy. After watching the movie trailer, Jody Foster plays a nurse running a secret, members-only emergency room hospital. She mainly cares for criminals set in riot-torn, near-future Los Angeles.
Watching Foster in the movie trailer, I can tell it is science fiction, dark comedy, as she bumbles around talking about following the rules. Her character is not comely and looks weathered.
The movie includes several talented actors such as Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Zachary Quinto, and Sterling K. Brown. All appear as a bunch of misfits.
Drew Pearce credits include as executive producer of several televisions series like Damage Control and Lip Service. He received writer and screenplay credit, respectively, for Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation and Iron Man 3.
Jodie Foster shines in this movie clip, as she will throughout the movie. I bet she had a great time performing as the nurse—a role made for her.
Filled with clips of different scenes is a movie trailer that is not telling us much, and I hope to see more footage so I can share it with you.
Directed by J.A. Bayona, Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the new Jurassic Park installment has arrived. The story keeps to where the last movie ended, but it is four years later. The theme park and luxury resort Jurassic World is still destroyed by dinosaurs out of containment. Forsaken by humans, Isla Nublar is surviving with dinosaurs fending for themselves in the island jungles.
The island has an active volcano, now. Owen, played by Chris Pratt, and Claire, played by Bryce Dallas Howard, organize an operation to rescue the remaining dinosaurs from the dangers of the volcano, which is wiping them out.
If you are familiar with the former movie, Owen bonded with Blue, his lead raptor, he wants to find him because he is still missing in the wild. Claire developed an understanding and respect for these unique beasts. She makes her mission and hopes to save the ones that remain.
When Owen and Claire arrive on the unstable island, the lava rains down on their expedition. But, the worse is not the erupting volcano. They uncover a conspiracy to return the whole planet to a terrifying order not seen since prehistoric times. The studios give us a hint if you look at the third poster real close. You will see the words “The Park is Gone.”
The production is boasting new breeds of dinosaurs with the favorites returning. Howard is a true actress and Pratt can hold his own as an action guy. Take a look at the movie trailer and see the coming spectacle for yourself.

Bayona and is a Spanish director known for directing television commercials and music videos.

The movie trailer below shows us more about the story and what to expect when we see the movie. The kid’s reactions are great. I can’t wait to see their interviews and hear them talk about working in the movie.
The featurette below sets the pace of the movie and allows us to see where the story is going. Bayona talks about shooting the scenes tightly so the suspense of what is happening is evident.
The movie trailer shows all the action and adventure you will experience in the movie theaters.
The TV spot is pretty cool to watch because it shows the grandeur of the CGI dinosaurs.
