“I can’t move, I can’t sing.” Warner Bros has revealed the first full-length (an epic 3 minutes!) trailer for Elvis, the next ravishing Baz Luhrmann musical arriving in theaters this year. It has been delayed for a while and is finally set for release in theaters starting June this summer. The movie chronicles the life and career of rock-and-roll legend Elvis Presley, starring Austin Butler (seen in Yoga Hosers, The Dead Don’t Die, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, “The Shannara Chronicles”) as the musician. The huge cast includes Tom Hanks as Colonel Tom Parker, Luke Bracey, Kodi Smit-McPhee, Dacre Montgomery, David Wenham, Richard Roxburgh, Kate Mulvany, Elizabeth Cullen, Natasha Bassett, plus Kelvin Harrison Jr. as B.B. King, and Olivia DeJonge as Priscilla Presley. This has tons of massive set pieces and stage performances and so much more, spanning his childhood and first performance and massive success. This looks fantastic! It’s always exciting to see Luhrmann go all out with something grand like this.

Here’s the first official trailer (+ poster) for Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis, direct from WB’s YouTube:

Set against an evolving cultural landscape and loss of innocence in America, Baz Luhrmann’s upcoming Elvis movie covers the rock legend’s growth from dirt-poor singer to global icon, seen through the prism of his complex relationship over two decades with manager Colonel Tom Parker (played by Tom Hanks). Presley reached a level of stardom matched only by the Beatles before his death in 1977 at the age of 42. This currently untitled Elvis Presley project, formerly known as Kat King or also just Elvis, is directed by acclaimed Australian filmmaker Baz Luhrmann, director of the movies Strictly Ballroom, Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge!, Australia, and The Great Gatsby previously. The screenplay is written by Sam Bromell, Baz Luhrmann, and Craig Pearce. Produced by Gail Berman, Catherine Martin, Patrick McCormick, Andrew Mittman, Schuyler Weiss, and Baz Luhrmann. Warner Bros is now ready to debut Luhrmann’s Elvis movie in theaters everywhere starting on June 24th, 2022 coming up this summer. First impression? Thoughts?

“What’s a bad miracle?” And here we go… Universal has unveiled the first official trailer for Jordan Peele’s new film titled simply Nope, which seems to be a sci-fi thriller involving an extraterrestrial appearance in a small town. There’s no plot info available but this trailer finally confirms the rumors. It opens with an intro about the Haywood ranch – the first only Black-owned horse trainers in Hollywood. But then it gets a bit crazy with the arrival of a UFO, everyone starts staring up into the sky, and very strange occurrences around town. Nope’s cast includes Daniel Kaluuya, Keke Palmer, Steven Yeun, Barbie Ferreira, Michael Wincott, Donna Mills, and Terry Notary (he must be playing the alien creature). This is a thrilling first look trailer – I still don’t know what exactly is going on but I’ve got the chills and I’m totally sold. Get a look.

For the first time, YouTube is letting users in the US stream thousands of free, ad-supported TV shows like Hell’s Kitchen, Heartland and Unsolved Mysteries, it announced. That will put it into competition with OTA (over-the-air) TV and streaming services with ad tiers including Peacock, the Roku Channel, Tubi and others. 

YouTube will offer around 4,000 free TV episodes on top of the 1,500 movies already available. This month, it added a raft of new movie titles including Gone in Sixty Seconds, Runaway Bride and Legally Blonde, now available to stream for free (in the USA only) with ads.

With the new TV offerings, YouTube is no doubt hoping to keep American users glued to its platform. Having dozens of episodes from multiple series will allow users to binge like they do on Netflix and other platforms, though most of the content on offer is not what you’d call prestige TV. One of its biggest rivals in that regard is Roku TV, which had a very public dispute with YouTube that was only recently resolved.

Until last year, YouTube had been trying to fill content holes with its own programming via YouTube Originals. Earlier in 2022, however, it announced that it was largely abandoning those ambitions and would focus strictly on its Black Voices and YouTube Kids Funds. The program had some success with shows like Cobra Kai, but didn’t pose much of a threat to services like Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.

“We got the element of surprise… and we got violence.” Vertical has released an official trailer for a generic action thriller titled A Day to Die, yet another boring new Bruce Willis movie to ignore. Even the title is generic and forgettable. After killing a drug syndicate member while protecting a parolee, Connor Connolly has one day to pay two million dollars in reparations he doesn’t have to Tyrone Pettis. He is forced to ask his old military ops crew, led by Brice Mason, to come together and somehow get two million dollars before Connor loses everyone he loves. Bruce Willis co-stars with Kevin Dillon, Frank Grillo, Leon, Gianni Capaldi, Johnny Messner, Vernon Davis, and Brooke Butler. Not a bad cast, but nah… These dime-a-dozen Bruce Willis movies are as bad as they’ve ever been, and I really hope no one is wasting their money on them. Just stay away. There’s plenty of other better movies to watch than this. At least the trailer is free.

Here’s the first official trailer for Wes Miller’s A Day to Die, direct from YouTube (via CS):

Ex-military ops officer Conner Connolly (Kevin Dillon) has one day to pay $2 million in reparations to a local gang leader in order to save his kidnapped wife,” says the official synopsis. “With her life on the line, Conner must recruit his old crew, led by Brice Mason (Frank Grillo), to pull off a series of dangerous heists to repay the money he owes and settle a score with the city’s corrupt police chief (Bruce Willis). In a race against time, the crew must rely on their tactical training and brotherhood to save themselves. A Day to Die is directed by filmmaker Wes Miller, of the films Lily Grace: A Witch Story, Prayer Never Fails, River Runs Red, Atone, and Hell on the Border previously. The screenplay is co-written by Rab Berry and Scott Mallace. Vertical Ent. will release A Day to Die in select US theaters + on VOD starting March 4th, 2022.

‘The Kashmir Files’,

‘The Kashmir Files’, directed by Vivek Agnihotri, is reaching new heights. The film tells the painful and heartwrenching stories of Kashmiri Pandits who were forced to leave their homes and live like refugees in their own country.
