Directed by Rupert Sanders, Ghost in the Shellstars Scarlett Johansson, Takeshi Kitano, and here is the first look at the trailer as it launched at an epic event in Tokyo.
Based on the international science fiction property with the same name, the story follows Major, a special op, one-of-a-kind human-cyborg hybrid, who leads the elite task force Section 9. Devoted to stopping the most dangerous criminals and extremists, Section 9 faces an enemy whose singular goal is to wipe out Hanka Robotic’s advancements in cyber technology.
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.
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.
Directed by Chris McKay, the release of The Batman Lego Movie is proving that Legos are still in the saucy spirit of fun and a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – Lego Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure.
But big changes are brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from the Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others, and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Batman, lighten up? It’s hard to imagine.
The voices starring in this movie are Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, and Ralph Fiennes.
Directed by Garth Jennings, Sing arrives with animated voices coming from Matthew McConaughey, Reese Witherspoon, Seth MacFarlane, Scarlett Johansson, John C. Reilly, Taron Egerton, and Tori Kelly. The movie is a musical comedy about finding the shining star that lives inside all of us.
Set in a world similar to humans but utterly inhabited by animals, Sing follows Buster Moon, played by McConaughey, a dapper Koala who presides over a once-grand theater that has fallen on hard times. Buster is an eternal optimist, with a touch of irony. But he loves his theater above all and will do anything to preserve it. Now facing the crumbling of his life’s ambition, he has one ultimate chance to restore his fading jewel to its former glory by producing the world’s greatest singing competition.
Featuring over 85 hit songs, the story focuses on five lead contestants emerge, including a mouse, played by MacFarlane, a timid teenage elephant, played by Tori Kelly, an overtaxed mother, played by Witherspoon, a young gangster gorilla, played by Egerton, and a punk-rock porcupine, played by Johansson. Each animal arrives under Buster’s marquee, believing that this is their shot at changing the course of their life.
Here is a special message from Sing. This movie keeps getting cuter.
