“Spider-Man: Homecoming” Trailers and Interview Clips

Directed by Jon Watts, I am not sure how to take the next Spider-man movie’s overall slant. It’s a little too goofy for me and seems nothing like the comic strips I used to read in the daily paper when I was a kid.

The movie has a great cast, so I am hoping for a better trailer soon. One that shows more of the story and a good reason to go to the theater and see another Spider-man remake.

Check out the interviews with the director and cast just after the two trailers.

“The Mummy” Clips, Interviews, Trailers, Posters, Featurettes

the-mummy-first-posterDirected by Alex Kurtzman,  a remake is a remake, but Tom Cruise is a megastar.  He headlines a spectacular, all-new cinematic version of the legend that has fascinated cultures worldwide since the dawn of civilization – The Mummy.

Though safely entombed in a tomb deep beneath the unforgiving desert, an ancient princess, played by Sofia Boutella, unjustly takes whose destiny from which they awakened her in our current day, bringing with her malevolence grown over millennia and terrors that defy human comprehension.

From the Middle East’s sweeping sands through hidden labyrinths under modern-day London, The Mummy brings a surprising intensity and balance of wonder and thrills in an imaginative new take that ushers in a new world of gods and monsters.

Here is the latest poster, which I like so much better than the first one above.

Here is the latest trailer, and I love this story. This is going to be an action pack movie – never a dull moment.

Cruise stars with a brilliant cast, including Annabelle Wallis, Jake Johnson, Courtney B. Vance, and Russell Crowe.

Here are some exceptional behind-the-scenes clips with special effects, makeup, and Tom Cruise.

The movie will keep you on the edge of your seat until the very end.

Here is the first trailer, and it is amazing.

“Kong: Skull Island” Trailers

Directed by Jordan Vogt-Roberts, Kong: Skull Island is being touted as reimagining the origin of the mythic Kong in an interesting, original adventure. I must admit, how can a remake (or reimagining) be original. If it is original, then don’t call it a Kong movie.

In the film, a diverse team explores an uncharted island in the Pacific, which is as beautiful as it is treacherous.  But as they venture deeper into the unknown, they are unaware that they’re crossing into the domain of the mythic Kong.

The movie stars Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, Brie Larson, Jing Tian, Toby Kebbell, John Ortiz, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, Shea Whigham, Thomas Mann, Terry Notary, and John C. Reilly.

The screenplay is by Dan Gilroy, who wrote one of the Bourne movies, and Max Borenstein, who wrote Godzilla, story by John Gatins and Dan Gilroy.

“Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets” Trailers and Clips

When the movie first arrived, the teaser trailer didn’t say much about the movie, but as it says in the trailer: if you know the gothic novel, you know what the movie is about.

Based on the classic graphic novel series Valerian and Laureline and directed by Luc Besson, Valerian and The City of a Thousand Planets is a contemporary, unique, and epic science fiction saga.

The imagery looks imaginative and breathtaking. The movie stars Dane DeHaan, Cara Delevingne, Clive Owen, Rihanna, Ethan Hawke, John Goodman, Herbie Hancock, and Kris Wu.

This is a fantastic featurette. You gotta watch it.

I find the original master recording by The Beatles fitting for the movie trailer.  The without instrument or accompaniment version adds beauty to the visual effects, though it doesn’t explain the movie’s story very well.

“Logan” Trailers and TV Spot

The trailer begins with a grim story and continues to worsen, but smiles and laughter appear toward the end.  Almost titled Wolverine 3, Logan takes place in 2024. Mutant births are severely in decline, and people aren’t sure why.

A government-type operation is turning mutant children into killing machines. From this, Logan emerges as a mentor to a mutant girl with two claws instead of three. Marvel’s superhero movies are developing into a very supernatural human side, which is good to see.

Hugh Jackman, Patrick Stewart, and Sienna Novikov star with direction by James Mangold. His impressive credits include Walk the Line, which he also co-wrote, The Wolverine, Cop Land, Girl, Interrupted, Knight and Day, and 2007 remake 3:10 to Yuma.

Check out the Super Bowl Ad. I love the song.

I like this trailer, and it appears this movie is nothing like the Marvel movies we’ve seen for some time.  Tom Felton, Harry Potter alumni, is looking mighty fine all beefed up and ready to be the bad guy again.

I love Paul Stewart’s line, “She’s eleven, and I am fucking ninety.”

“Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2” Trailers

The trailers’ music with its tongue-in-cheek lines can assume Guardians of the Galaxy’s next installment, directed by James Gunn, will be just as silly and crazy as before. But this time, Star-Lord gets a girlfriend. Fun stuff all around, with a solid cast including Chris Pratt, Vin Diesel, Zoe Saldana, Dave Bautista, and Kurt Russell.

This is the real trailer…for now.

Comic-Con Experience 2016 in São Paulo, Brazil, James Gunn, movie’s writer, and director, premiered the new Teaser Trailer for Marvel Studios’ Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2.

“Planet Earth II” Official Extended Trailer – BBC Earth

I remember seeing Planet Earth 10 years ago, and it changed my view of our world. Now the BBC takes us closer than ever before. This is life in all its wonder. This is our planet, and this is Planet Earth II.

“Rogue One” Trailer

In the official second trailer for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Jyn Erso leads a group of unlikely heroes to steal the plans for the Death Star, the Empire’s ultimate weapon of destruction.

I want to know what happened to the other characters from the last Star Wars movie. I wonder why they are not in this trailer. The film hit the theaters on December 16, 2016, and I discovered my ignorance of the Star Wars fandom. This story happens before the other movies.

The producers base the story on one line in the movie from the original Star Wars Episode 4 – New Hope. Though it was tough to watch the ending, the film is worth watching. It’s a well-made movie.
