“Intrigo: Death of An Author” Poster and Trailers

Adapted for the screen by Birgitta Bongenhielm, directed by Daniel Alfredson, and based on the international best-seller by Hakan Nesser, Intrigo: Death of An Author stars Ben Kingsley.

The story is an intense, riveting thriller that keeps you guessing. After an author named David, played by Benno Fürmann, plots the seemingly accidental murder of his wife, played by Tuva Novotny, her body is never recovered.

He’s convinced that she’s still alive. Meanwhile, as David translates the final novel by a writer who also died mysteriously, he finds himself attracted to the man’s sultry widow. Fact or fiction, life, or death in his tale, nothing is guaranteed.

The cast includes  Michael Byrne, Veronica Ferres, Daniela Lavender, Tor Clark, David Lowe, Jason Riddington, Sandra Dickinson, Angus Kennedy, Annamaria Serda, Elizabeth Counsell, Clarence Smith, Ed Cooper Clarke, Sian Webber, Christopher Crema, Peter Cirica, Gordan Kičić, Andria Kazelas, and Ivona Kustudić. 

The second trailer is much better and explains the storyline. With that, it looks like a lot of twists and turns.

“Schindler’s List” 25th Anniversary Remastered Trailer and Poster

I just watched this movie with my daughter about three weeks ago when Schindler’s List became available on Amazon Prime—my daughter’s first time seeing the movie. She loved it. I don’t blame her because I loved it just as much as I did the first time, or perhaps more.

Now, the stark, black-and-white movie is being remastered to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the movie directed by Steven Spielberg. I am sure Spielberg views this movie as one of the most significant endeavors in cinema history. The re-release of the movie with picture and sound digitally remastered includes 4K, Dolby Cinema, and Dolby Atmos. The commemorative continues with a limited theatrical engagement on December 7, 2018, in theaters across the United States and Canada. Universal Studios meticulously restored the movie from the original film negative in pristine high definition and supervised by Spielberg.

The only color in the movie is the little girl with a red coat. A symbol of Shindler’s connection and realization of his necessity to save the lives of Jews is his only desire to build pots and pans.

Winner of seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director, this fantastic true story follows the enigmatic Oskar Schindler, played by Liam Neeson, who personally saved the lives of more than 1,100 Jews during the Holocaust.

So many stories are told about the Holocaust. Stories about brave people like Schindler are the triumph. Schindler made a difference for those who survived one of the darkest chapters in human history.

Schindler’s List is an overwhelming story about a man who learned to change his flamboyant lifestyle and take the courage and faith to be strong enough to save the lives of Jews.

Some highlights of technical and artistic achievement are composer John Williams, screenwriter Steven Zaillian, and director of photography Janusz Kaminski, including art directors Allan Starski and Ewa Braun and editor Michael Kahn.

The cast alone is impressive, including Ben Kingsley, Ralph Fiennes, Caroline Goodall, Jonathan Sagalle, and Embeth Davidtz.

Whether you sat in the dark theater and watched this movie, on your flat TV screen at home, or not at all, watch this trailer and see if you do not shed a tear for the visual and musical impact.

“Operation Finale” Trailers, Movie Clips, Featurettes, and Posters

Directed by Chris Weitz, Operation Finale is a thrilling true story that follows the 1960 covert mission of legendary Mossad agent Peter Malkin, played by Oscar Isaac, as he infiltrates Argentina and captures Adolf Eichmann, played by Ben Kingsley, the Nazi officer who masterminded the transportation logistics that brought millions of innocent Jews to their deaths in concentration camps.

Mossad is the national intelligence agency of Israel.

Weitz directing credits include About a Boy, Twilight Saga: New Moon, and The Golden Compass. His writing credits are impressive, which includes Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, The Mountain Between Us, and Nutty Professor II: The Klumps.

The atrocities of the Nazi regime is forever in our minds.  We will never forget how crazy and mad a group of evil men and women can become if they are allowed to dramatize freely without being stopped.

The latest poster image communicates so much better. We must be vigilant and never let such atrocities happen again.

The rest of the cast include Lior Raz, Melanie Laurent, Nick Kroll, Joe Alwyn, Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Aronov, Ohad Knoller, Greg Hill, Torben Liebrecht, Mike Hernandez, Greta Scacchi, and Pêpê Rapazote.

The feature below offers details of how Weitz works with the actors. The actors speak about working with him and how he directs.

“The Extraction” movie clip is intense.

The movie clip tells us how they plan to get Eichmann out of Argentina.

The featurette tells more about the difficulties of capturing one of the evilest men during the Nazi regime. Kingsley tells us why he wanted to play this man.

The movie clip is directed and edited to keep the fast pace of the story moving – also known as suspense and thrilling.

The movie trailer is intense and Ben Kingsley is fantastic, as usual.

“Collide” Interview With Hoult and Jones

Directed by Eran Creevy, Collide follows a young American couple plunged into an adrenaline-pumping game of cat and mouse across Europe. They find themselves caught between two ruthless, feuding criminals.

The movie stars Nicholas Hoult, Oscar nominee Felicity Jones, and Oscar winners Anthony Hopkins and Ben Kingsley.

The wild, intricately folded, twisted story begins after a heist goes wrong. Casey Stein, played by Hoult, finds himself running from a ruthless gang headed by mob boss Hagen, played by Hopkins. Now Casey has precious cargo that belongs to Hagen, who will stop at nothing to retrieve it. Left with no choice, Casey calls his former employer and drug smuggler Geran, played by Kingsley, to protect his long-time girlfriend Juliette, played by Jones, before Hagen gets his hands on her. Casey sets out on an adrenaline-fueled car chase on the German highways to save the love of his life before it’s too late.

An excellent interview shows the chemistry of the actors Nicholas Hoult and Felicity Jones.

During the promotion and film release, some clips showed the intensity and craziness. After watching the trailer, I sense a twist in the story at the end. Don’t you?
