New Trailers
Jason Momoa leads a sweeping, blood-stained epic in Chief of War, Apple TV+’s new historical saga set during the unification of Hawaii. Power, land, and legacy collide in this visceral first look.
Apple TV+ has unveiled the official teaser for Chief of War, a historical action series co-created by and starring Jason Momoa. Set in 18th-century Hawaii, the show chronicles the epic story of Ka’iana—a formidable warrior caught in the tides of war, colonization, and rebellion as various island kingdoms clash for control.
The teaser is visually arresting: volcanic landscapes, ancient rituals, and brutal battles captured with sweeping cinematography and intense physicality. Momoa, both behind and in front of the camera, brings a magnetic presence as a man torn between personal loyalty and political destiny.
As drums pound and warriors charge, the clip teases a series steeped in culture and combat. Fans of The Last Kingdomand See will find plenty to admire here, but Chief of War promises a deeper, more grounded exploration of identity, resistance, and ancestral pride.
Life, once again, finds a way. In Jurassic World: Rebirth, the past roars back with prehistoric vengeance. This second official trailer teases a world on the edge—where survival means evolving fast
The second official trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth dives deeper into a new era of dino-chaos. Set years after the events of Dominion, the world is no longer divided between man and monster—it’s entangled. As ecosystems collapse and apex predators reclaim the planet, a fractured humanity must reckon with its own extinction-level hubris.
Featuring a fresh cast of survivors and legacy characters returning from the shadows, this trailer ups the ante with larger-scale action, nightmarish new species, and a tone more grounded in survival horror than spectacle. Jungle ambushes. Neon-lit city chases. Mutated hybrids. And at the heart of it: a moral reckoning about what we resurrect and why.
Directed with sleek menace and visual grit, Rebirth is shaping up to be the boldest reimagining of the franchise since Spielberg’s original vision—trading nostalgia for tension, and wonder for raw instinct.
Chaos is the cost of greatness. The Bear returns for its fourth season, raising the heat in Chicago’s most volatile kitchen. With Carmy, Sydney, and Richie balancing fine dining with emotional fallout, the stakes have never been higher.
The official trailer for Season 4 of FX’s The Bear teases another pressure-cooker chapter in the lives of Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). After the whirlwind success—and collapse—of their opening service, the new season dives deeper into perfectionism, partnership, and personal redemption.
Carmy is still haunted by his past while trying to build something extraordinary in the present. Sydney faces creative doubts as the restaurant’s vision becomes harder to define, and Richie—now transformed by his front-of-house awakening—steps up as both emotional anchor and unexpected leader.
The trailer pulses with familiar anxiety: ticking clocks, slammed doors, spinning plates. But beneath the tension is something more vulnerable—a search for purpose, connection, and control in a world that rarely offers any. With returning appearances from Matty Matheson, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Oliver Platt, The Bear is still television’s most emotionally charged—and most beautifully shot—half-hour drama.
Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Matt Smith get dragged into the underground in this blood-soaked noir.
A wrong turn, a stolen cat, and a city that never sleeps—Caught Stealing drops viewers into a feverish New York crime spiral where every choice leads further into hell. Austin Butler leads a high-style, high-body-count plunge into noir chaos.
In the official trailer for Caught Stealing, Austin Butler transforms into Hank Thompson, a washed-up former ballplayer whose past glory fades fast as he’s pulled into a violent underground war in 1990s Manhattan. Adapted from Charlie Huston’s cult crime novel, the film is directed by rising stylists Dane Hallett and Patrick Meaney and backed by a trio of scene-stealing co-stars: Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, and Evan Rachel Wood.
The trailer kicks off with an act of kindness—taking care of a neighbor’s cat—that quickly unravels into a brutal collision with mobsters, drug fiends, and double-crosses. Butler’s transformation is total: bloodied, unhinged, and barely holding on as he navigates a city pulsing with danger.
With Zoë Kravitz playing a sharp-tongued accomplice and Matt Smith radiating menace as a crooked detective with a bone to pick, the film promises tightly wound tension and midnight-movie swagger. Neon-lit and bathed in grit, Caught Stealing evokes the kinetic madness of Run Lola Run with the bruised masculinity of Taxi Driver and the snarl of Killing Them Softly.
A sun-drenched love letter to cinema’s rebellious heart, Nouvelle Vague pairs Zoey Deutch with director Richard Linklater for a romantic, reflexive spin through Godardian mood and modern malaise. A film about falling in love—with movies, with people, with Paris.
The official trailer for Nouvelle Vague teases Richard Linklater’s latest entry into metatextual cinema, starring Zoey Deutch as a restless American film student who spirals into the smoke and mirrors of 1960s-obsessed Paris. The film appears to drift somewhere between homage and invention, riffing on French New Wave aesthetics while embedding a more personal, present-day story underneath the filters and fedoras.
Deutch’s character navigates a romance with a reclusive auteur (played by Gaspard Ulliel in one of his final on-screen roles), while staging a short film that mimics the style of Truffaut and Godard. The trailer leans heavily on black-and-white footage, jump cuts, and grainy texture, complete with retro title cards and disjointed voiceover about life, time, and cinema.
Winking, wistful, and soaked in cinephile longing, Nouvelle Vague looks to be a film within a film—Linklater’s ode to youthful delusion, artistic obsession, and the fantasy of Europe through the lens of someone always arriving just a little too late.
From the mind of acclaimed visualist Shawn Christensen comes ALPHA, a cold-blooded descent into corporate psychosis and primal identity. In a glass tower built on secrets, an ambitious assistant finds herself caught between servitude and survival.
The official teaser for ALPHA introduces a sleek and chilling world where boardrooms are battlegrounds and civility is just a thin layer over instinct. Directed by Oscar-winner Shawn Christensen (Curfew, The Vanishing of Sidney Hall), the film stars Alice Braga and directed in part by rising auteur Karl Glusman in a tale of inner beast versus polished surface.
The teaser is a study in restraint: sharp cuts, ambient dread, and cryptic exchanges hint at psychological warfare inside a luxury Manhattan high-rise. Hushed power plays and whispered betrayals unfold as Alice Braga’s character begins to unravel the behaviors of her enigmatic boss, played with icy control by Raúl Castillo.
With its haunting score and sterile color palette, ALPHA blends the paranoia of Eyes Wide Shut with the oppressive ambition of The Assistant. This is a world where evolution is currency and dominance comes in tailored suits.
ALPHA hits theaters this October, inviting audiences to ask: beneath the office politics, who’s really in control?
Cate Blanchett stars in a haunting tale of faith, colonization, and innocence set against the desolate expanse of 1940s Australia. The New Boy follows the arrival of a mysterious orphan whose powers unsettle a secluded Christian mission.
In the official trailer for The New Boy, director Warwick Thornton (Samson & Delilah, Sweet Country) returns with a spellbinding vision of colonial trauma and spiritual mystery. The film centers on a remote Christian monastery in 1940s Australia, where a young Aboriginal boy with inexplicable powers is taken in by a renegade nun played by Cate Blanchett.
As the boy’s presence begins to disrupt the strict religious structure of the mission, the film interrogates faith, authority, and Indigenous identity in a land grappling with its past. Blanchett, also serving as producer, delivers a performance of quiet ferocity, while newcomer Aswan Reid anchors the story with captivating stillness and emotion.
Visually evocative and spiritually resonant, The New Boy is a lyrical exploration of otherness and belief—part allegory, part historical reckoning.
Lawyers are a girl’s best friend in All’s Fair, Hulu’s audacious new legal drama from Ryan Murphy. Featuring an A-list ensemble led by Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Sarah Paulson, the series blends courtroom warfare with cutthroat ambition, scandalous secrets, and feminist firepower.
In the official trailer for All’s Fair, Hulu and Ryan Murphy unveil a sizzling, high-stakes series centered on an elite team of female divorce attorneys who ditch their patriarchal firm to build their own legal empire. Set against the glittering chaos of Los Angeles’ elite, the series showcases the mess, manipulation, and resilience behind every billion-dollar breakup.
Kim Kardashian plays a media-savvy legal shark out to prove she’s more than a tabloid headline. Naomi Watts delivers icy sophistication as the firm’s co-founder, while Niecy Nash-Betts and Teyana Taylor anchor the ensemble with steel-spined gravitas and street-smart charm. Sarah Paulson simmers as a battle-hardened legal tactician, and Glenn Close radiates gravitas as a mysterious legal fixer with ties to everyone’s darkest secrets.
All’s Fair is less about justice and more about control—of image, of power, of truth. Sharp, stylish, and emotionally combustible, the series is laced with betrayal, ambition, and the brutal honesty that comes when love meets litigation.
From The People v. O.J. Simpson to Feud, Murphy has always understood spectacle and psychology—and here, he delivers both with a vengeance.
Grief, ritual, and psychological horror converge in Bring Her Back, the latest unsettling vision from Talk to Me directors Danny and Michael Philippou. Sally Hawkins delivers a haunting performance in this A24 chiller that explores the terrifying lengths one woman will go to undo loss.
In Bring Her Back, step-siblings Andy (Billy Barratt) and Piper (Sora Wong) are placed in the care of Laura (Sally Hawkins), a seemingly warm foster mother grieving the loss of her daughter. As the siblings adjust to their new home, they uncover a disturbing ritual that Laura believes can resurrect her deceased child. The trailer teases a descent into madness, with glimpses of occult ceremonies, eerie VHS tapes, and unsettling behavior from Laura’s other foster child, Oliver (Jonah Wren Phillips). Directed by the Philippou brothers, known for their breakout hit Talk to Me, this film promises a blend of visceral horror and emotional depth. Bring Her Back is set to release in theaters on May 30, 2025.
Bob Odenkirk returns as Hutch Mansell in Nobody 2, a high-octane sequel where a family vacation turns into a battleground. With Sharon Stone as a formidable new adversary, the film blends dark humor, intense action, and emotional stakes.
In Nobody 2, Hutch Mansell (Bob Odenkirk) attempts a peaceful family getaway to Wild Bill’s Majestic Midway and Waterpark. However, when his children are threatened by goons working for crime boss Lendina (Sharon Stone), Hutch is forced back into action. The trailer showcases brutal fight sequences, including a confrontation at an arcade, and highlights Hutch’s struggle to protect his family while confronting his violent past. Directed by Timo Tjahjanto, the film features returning cast members Connie Nielsen, Christopher Lloyd, and RZA, with new additions Colin Hanks and John Ortiz. Nobody 2 hits theaters on August 15, 2025.
Dominique Thorne returns as Riri Williams in Ironheart, Marvel’s next streaming hero, armed with tech, heart, and vengeance.
Marvel Television’s Ironheart brings genius inventor Riri Williams (Dominique Thorne) to the center of the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s next phase, following her explosive debut in Black Panther: Wakanda Forever. Set after the events of Wakanda Forever, the series follows Riri as she returns to Chicago and builds the most advanced suit of armor since Iron Man’s—while confronting powerful enemies who threaten her community and the legacy of Tony Stark. Blending coming-of-age drama with high-octane action and a grounded social edge, Ironheart is part superhero saga, part emotional journey. The series also stars Anthony Ramos, Alden Ehrenreich, Lyric Ross, and Manny Montana.
James Gunn reimagines the Man of Steel in Superman (2025), an origin refresh with heart, humor, and political edge starring David Corenswet and Rachel Brosnahan.
Superman (2025) marks the bold next chapter of the DC Universe under James Gunn’s direction, introducing David Corenswet as a younger, more grounded Clark Kent navigating his dual identity in a world of rising tensions. With Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, the film balances classic heroism with 21st-century complexity, set against an evolving metropolis where power and purpose collide. Blending wit, warmth, and cinematic spectacle, Superman reintroduces the legendary character with a fresh lens, giving audiences a hero with ideals—and doubts—that feel urgent and human. The film also features Skyler Gisondo, Isabela Merced, Nathan Fillion, Edi Gathegi, and María Gabriela de Faría.

Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie sit down for a rare, in-depth look at their most explosive collaborations—from death-defying stunts to redefining genre filmmaking.
In this official behind-the-scenes breakdown, Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie revisit some of their most iconic collaborations, including Mission: Impossible, Jack Reacher, and Edge of Tomorrow. The video offers a candid and technical look into the creative process behind some of the most influential action films of the last two decades.
The conversation spans Cruise’s obsession with practical effects, the evolution of Ethan Hunt, the underrated grit of Jack Reacher, and the genre-bending brilliance of Edge of Tomorrow. McQuarrie dissects the challenges of staging complex sequences while preserving emotional stakes, while Cruise emphasizes rhythm, trust, and the pursuit of on-screen authenticity.
More than a promo, this is a masterclass. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a franchise fan, or just curious about what makes Tom Cruise run—this video is essential viewing.
Ana de Armas goes full Wick in Ballerina. In this pulse-pounding clip, elegance meets execution as she runs out of bullets—but not options.
In the official clip titled “Out Of Bullets”, Ballerina star Ana de Armas proves she’s more than ready to inherit the John Wick legacy. Set in the neon-lit, blood-soaked underworld fans know well, the scene finds her character cornered, disarmed, and outgunned—until she turns the room itself into a weapon.
Graceful but lethal, the choreography delivers a fresh spin on the franchise’s signature gun-fu style. De Armas moves with balletic precision and cold determination, elevating every move into a spectacle of survival. The clip teases the film’s blend of stylized violence and emotional grit, with a character driven not by revenge—but necessity.
Directed by Len Wiseman and set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, Ballerina expands the Wick universe with a female lead who moves like a dancer but strikes like an assassin. This is just a taste of the carnage to come.
A24’s latest promo for Friendship captures the complicated beauty of connection—through glances, silence, and stolen moments. It’s a meditation on intimacy and impermanence, wrapped in under ten minutes.
In the official promo for Friendship, A24 presents a soft-glow montage of the film’s emotional core—highlighting fleeting connections and deep undercurrents that define its quiet power. The clip doesn’t give away plot points. Instead, it leans into atmosphere: long-held stares, subtle smiles, the tension of words unsaid.
Told through fragments and feelings, the promo sets a tone of aching nostalgia and understated vulnerability. Set to a haunting instrumental track, it evokes the work of Sofia Coppola and Andrew Haigh—evocative, elliptical, emotionally resonant.
The characters may barely speak, but the message is clear: Friendship is about everything in between. The clip lingers where most trailers cut—on stillness, on breath, on the moment just before someone leaves. It’s art-house marketing at its finest.
The cast of Materialists puts their rom-com knowledge to the test in this charming promo where Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans take turns guessing iconic love lines. It’s nostalgia, laughter, and flirtation—all wrapped up in one playful clip.
In this lighthearted official promo for Materialists, stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans challenge each other to a rapid-fire game of “Guess the Romance Movie Line.” From Notting Hill to The Notebook, the trio relives some of cinema’s most swoon-worthy quotes while revealing their own rom-com instincts—and occasional blanks.
Set against a candy-colored backdrop that mirrors the film’s luxe-meets-love aesthetic, the clip teases not just chemistry between the actors but the tongue-in-cheek tone of the film itself. Johnson and Pascal are effortlessly funny, Evans plays it cool, and the entire interaction radiates star power and playful intimacy.
Part press junket, part viral-ready content, this promo doesn’t just sell the movie—it sells the vibe. If Materialists is about the high-gloss messiness of modern romance, this is the perfect sneak peek into its heart.
In this tender and charged new clip, Sentimental Value previews the raw emotional terrain of grief, family, and unspoken tension. A single conversation cracks open a history, and the silences speak louder than the words.
The official clip from Sentimental Value offers an early look at what promises to be one of the year’s most intimate and affecting dramas. The film centers on a fractured family reunited by loss—and forced to navigate the terrain of memory, resentment, and reconciliation.
In this moment, a quiet kitchen exchange between two siblings swells with unresolved history. The performances are taut, the dialogue restrained, and the camera lingers just long enough to let discomfort rise. There’s a tension in what’s said—and what isn’t—that evokes the emotional intensity of films like Manchester by the Sea and The Savages.
Directed with a soft, observational lens, Sentimental Value appears to be less about plot than presence. A film that asks its characters—and audience—not to move on, but to move through.
Natasha Lyonne brings her singular, off-kilter charisma to the closet in this playful fashion short that fuses vintage glamour, deadpan wit, and New York edge. It’s not just a styling video—it’s a vibe check.
In this latest installment of Closet Picks, Natasha Lyonne opens up her wardrobe and her worldview in equal measure. Part fashion haul, part existential monologue, the Poker Face and Russian Doll star curates a lineup of personal pieces that are equal parts “studio lot grandma” and “downtown art dealer who may or may not time travel.”
Lyonne, known for her gravel-voiced delivery and unmatched taste in oddball cool, brings out statement coats, archival eyewear, and a truly chaotic array of footwear, narrating each selection with that signature mix of sarcasm and sincerity. Between references to Patti Smith, vintage Issey Miyake, and “weird aunt in a Bergman film,” the video is as much about attitude as it is about aesthetics.
This isn’t just celebrity styling—it’s character study through clothing. And in a sea of trend-chasing fashion content, Lyonne reminds us that true style is the one thing you can’t fake.
Marvel peels back the curtain on its grittiest ensemble yet with Thunderbolts—or rather, T̶h̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶b̶o̶l̶t̶s̶ —a film already subverting expectations before it even hits theaters. In this high-tension clip, the new squad faces its first catastrophic test.
In the latest official clip titled “It’s Coming Right At Us”, Marvel Studios offers a high-stakes peek at Thunderbolts—or, as stylized, T̶h̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶b̶o̶l̶t̶s̶—the film being rebranded by fans and insiders alike as The New Avengers. The footage drops us straight into the chaos: a helicopter spiraling, an impossible enemy closing in, and a team of deeply flawed antiheroes realizing just how over their heads they really are.
Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes leads the charge alongside Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, and Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent. As the team argues over tactics while under fire, the clip teases not only Marvel’s signature humor but a darker, more grounded tone reminiscent of The Winter Soldier and Rogue One.
Pitched as Marvel’s messiest team-up yet, Thunderbolts looks to challenge the MCU formula—less shiny suits, more moral gray. And if this clip is any indication, the stakes are going to be real, brutal, and personal.
Wes Anderson expands his pastel-drenched universe with The Phoenician Scheme, a film that merges precision, paranoia, and politics. In this new featurette, the filmmaker invites us inside his meticulously controlled world, where order and absurdity live side by side.
In The World – the official featurette for The Phoenician Scheme – director Wes Anderson, along with stars Saoirse Ronan, Willem Dafoe, and Edward Norton, offer a rare glimpse into the film’s layered production design and surreal geopolitical satire.
Set within an imagined Mediterranean nation teetering between bureaucracy and breakdown, Anderson crafts a story that feels simultaneously antique and terrifyingly current. The featurette walks viewers through the film’s miniature dioramas, intricate sets, and period-costume politics, all rendered in Anderson’s signature visual grammar: symmetrical framing, retro typography, and understated hysteria.
From the Ministry of Calculation to the rooftop gardens of The Grand Archive, every environment is imbued with allegory. As Ronan describes, “It’s not just a place. It’s a system.” Meanwhile, Dafoe and Norton discuss the tension beneath the whimsy—how comedy and control clash in a world ruled by logic and legacy.
At just over two minutes, the video offers a window into the thematic architecture behind the film—a narrative maze where algorithms, nationalism, and identity converge.
