“Space Cadet” Trailer, Images and Poster
Liz W. Gracia directs Space Cadet, which reminds me of Jerry Lewis’s slapstick comedy films. The wacky story follows Tiffany “Rex” Simpson, played by Emma Roberts. She has always dreamed of going to space, but life isn’t going quite as planned.
Determined to turn things around, she aims high, and, with the embellishing touch of her supportive best friend Nadine, played by Poppy Li, her “doctored” application lands her in NASA’s ultra-competitive astronaut training program.
Over her head, Rex relies on her quick wits, grit, and determination to get to the top of her class. NASA program directors Pam, played by Gabrielle Union, and Logan, played by Tom Hopper, take notice. But can this Florida girl get through training and into the cosmos before she blows her cover?
Written and directed by Liz W. Garcia, Space Cadet is a comedy about the power of being yourself, following your dreams and shooting for the stars.
“Women in Blue” (“Las Azules”) Trailer and Images
Set in 1970 and inspired by true events, “Women in Blue” (“Las Azules”) tells the story of four women who defy the ultraconservative norms of the time and join Mexico’s first female police force. Only they discovered their squad was a publicity stunt to distract the media from a brutal serial killer.
As the body count grows, María (Bárbara Mori), whose determination to catch the killer, becomes an obsession. Gabina is played by Amorita Rasgado, whose father is a renowned cop. Ángeles, played by Ximena Sariñana, a brilliant fingerprint analyst, and Valentina, played by Natalia Téllez, a young rebel, sets up a secret investigation to achieve what no male officer has done and brings the serial killer to justice.
“The Instigators” Poster and Trailer
Doug Liman directed The Instigators. The story follows Rory, played by Matt Damon, and Cobby, played by Casey Affleck, who are reluctant partners. One is a desperate father, and the other is an ex-con thrown together to pull off a robbery of the ill-gained earnings of a corrupt politician.
But when the heist goes wrong, the two find themselves engulfed in a whirlwind of chaos, pursued not only by police but also by backward bureaucrats and vengeful crime bosses. Completely out of their depth, they convince Rory’s therapist, played by Hong Chau, to join their riotous getaway through the city, where they must put aside their differences and work together to evade capture—or worse.
Written by Chuck MacLean and Casey Affleck, The Instigators also stars Michael Stuhlbarg, Paul Walter Hauser, Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, and Toby Jones, with Jack Harlow and Ron Perlman.

“The Killer’s Game” Trailer, Poster and Images
Based on a book by Jay R. Bonansinga and directed by JJ Perry, The Killer’s Game is an action-comedy.
Pro hitman Joe Flood, played by Dave Bautista, received bad news from his doctor. He has a terminal illness.
He takes matters into his own hands by taking a hit out on himself for a quick kill instead of the long-suffering pain of the terminal illness.
But when the very hitmen he hired also target his ex-girlfriend, played by Sofia Boutella, he must fend off an army of assassin colleagues and win back the love of his life before it’s too late.
“Wolfs” Trailer and Image
Jon Watts wrote and directed Wolfs, starring Brad Pitt and George Clooney. The story follows two professional fixers, played by Pitt and Clooney.
Though they consider themselves lone wolves, they are forced to work together. One night, their ideologies of working alone and fixing the situation spiral out of control in ways that hopefully make the film entertaining.
It’s good to see Amy Ryan in the trailer. She’s great in Sugar opposite Colin Farrell, which also plays on Apple TV. Austin Abrams is also in the film and seems to have the potential to be hilarious in this movie.
