“Kill” Trailers Poster and Images

Kill

Army commando Amrit, played by Lakshya, learns that his true love, Tulika, played by Tanya Maniktala, has been forced into an engagement against her will. He boards a New Delhi-bound train in a daring quest to derail the arranged marriage.

But when a gang of knife-wielding thieves led by the ruthless Fani, played by Raghav Juyal, terrorizes innocent passengers on his train, Amrit takes them on himself in a death-defying kill-spree to save those around him — turning what should have been a typical commute into an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride.

Nikhil Nagesh Bhat directs Kill, a high-adrenaline film with riveting stunts. Most recognize Bhat for his work in Hindi film productions. The cast includes Hars Chhaya, Ashish Vidyarthi, Abhishek Chauhan and Parth Tiwari.

Disney's Tiger

Disney’s “Tiger”

There is hardly any information about Disneynature’s Tiger movie. The trailer says most of what you need to know, but even that is not posted here, thanks to YouTube. The production went to India’s jungles and filmed tigers. Disney produces these films under the Disneynature banner to educate the world about nature.

Don Hahn, an executive producer of Earth and the subsequent Oceans and African Cats, noted that these documentaries take 5 years to make. “I think what’s encouraging to me and what’s fun for me is to take it on one-on-one. For example, now I’m at Disneyland actually doing this interview and I just walked out of a screening full of school kids. There were probably 400 school kids in this theater watching Oceans, and each one of them will take home a piece from that movie: a memory, a sense of responsibility, a sense of awe or wonderment at it. I think that a one-on-one relationship with a filmmaker and an audience, or an adult and a child, or a teacher and a student, is really crucial and important to changing our mindset.”

Hahn spoke about the environment viewed as a complete entity, which can come across as intimidating and overwhelming. Showing this movie to schoolchildren is an excellent way to spread positive environmental messages.

“Kind of Kindness” Posters and Images

Yorgos Lanthimos directed Kinds of Kindness, which he calls a triptych fable. It begins with the story of a man without a choice who tries to take control of his own life.

I am sure there is more to the story, but Lanthimos films appear skewed with abbreviated characters. As the reviews appear, the storyline becomes hashed out.

The cast includes Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer.

“Alien: Romulus” Storyline

Fede Alvarez directed Alien: Romulus, a film about a group of young people from a distant world who come face-to-face with the most terrifying life form in the universe. Dan O’Bannon, Fede Alvarez and Rodo Sayagues wrote the script. Ridley Scott, the original director of the Alien franchise, produced the movie.

The first trailer is six seconds over one minute, so it doesn’t tell us much. We hear screaming and see a bloodbath and aliens. Alvarez reportedly said the story takes place between the Alien and Aliens movies.

Historically, Romulus was the creator and initial king of Rome. He’s also known for having a twin brother, Remus. Mythology surrounds Roman history at this time with unclear events and institutions.

The cast of Alien: Romulus includes Isabela Merced, Cailee Spaeny, Archie Renaux and David Jonsson.

Bill Skarsgard plays the iconic role in The Crow, directed by Rupert Sanders. It’s a modern reimagining of James O’Barr’s original graphic novel.

Brutally murdered soulmates Eric Draven, played by Skarsgard, and Shelly Webster, played by FKA Twigs. The demons of her dark past catch up with them. Given the chance to save his true love by sacrificing himself, Eric sets out to seek merciless revenge on their killers. He traverses the worlds of the living and the dead, putting things right.

Skarsgard shared his thoughts about portraying the iconic character: “I was a huge fan of the original film growing up as a kid and was so honored to take on the role of Eric Draven.” Skarsgard commented that working with Twigs was magical. “I can’t wait for the world to see the film.” He hopes the film “resonates with audiences as strongly as it did with those of us involved.”

Twig agrees, “I am so thrilled to be in The Crow alongside the talented Bill Skarsgard. The love Bill and I share on screen is effortless and indicative of the authenticity and ease that I dreamed of bringing to the role of Shelley.”

She said Sanders is an extraordinary director. “I am so excited that the trailer is being unveiled and even more excited to have the world see the film this summer.” 

Sanders adds that Draven’s “story is about tragic loss, about dealing with the pain of everything that comes with losing someone you love. It is about the dark shadow of grief.”
