Bleecker Street unveils the taut first trailer for Relay, a sleek international thriller starring Riz Ahmed and Lily James in a game of psychological espionage and emotional duplicity.
In the official trailer for Relay, Bleecker Street teases a high-stakes psychological thriller led by Oscar-nominee Riz Ahmed as Tom, a professional negotiator known as a “relay.” His job: neutralize hostile ransom deals with poise, precision, and zero emotional involvement. But when his next job pairs him with a mysterious client played by Lily James, the mission becomes far more personal—and far more dangerous—than he anticipated.
Directed by David Mackenzie (Hell or High Water), the trailer positions Relay as an elegant fusion of slow-burn suspense and international intrigue. We watch as Tom maneuvers between luxury hotels, surveillance rooms, and darkened corridors, his calm unraveling with each cryptic twist. As James’ character enters the frame, layers of misdirection and double-blind allegiances begin to surface. Her performance walks a fine line between victim and accomplice, while Ahmed channels quiet intensity into a man trained to suppress every instinct—except survival.
Visually, Relay feels composed and quietly paranoid. The cinematography echoes the cool tension of Michael Clayton or Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, favoring greyscale interiors and cold cityscapes. The orchestral score pulses beneath the surface, building dread without spectacle. The trailer suggests a film more interested in dialogue and mind games than explosions—a cat-and-mouse story told through whispers, glances, and withheld truths.
Bleecker Street will release Relay in select theaters starting September 6, 2025.
Universal releases the emotional new trailer for Wicked: Part Two – For Good, teasing heartbreak, rebellion, and the spellbinding conclusion to Oz’s most iconic untold story.
The yellow brick road leads to a reckoning in the newly released trailer for Wicked: Part Two – For Good, the climactic second chapter of Jon M. Chu’s adaptation of the Broadway phenomenon. Picking up where Part One left off, this installment promises soaring stakes and deeper emotional currents as Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) embraces her destiny, Glinda (Ariana Grande) grapples with legacy, and the land of Oz teeters on the edge of revolution.
Set to the haunting reprise of “For Good,” the trailer delivers both visual spectacle and a more solemn emotional weight. We see Elphaba’s transformation into the so-called Wicked Witch of the West become complete—black hat, broomstick, and all—as she flies into legend. Grande’s Glinda, meanwhile, steps fully into her public persona, tasked with shaping the narrative that history will remember. Sweeping shots of the Emerald City, an uprising of Ozians, and chilling glimpses of Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh) and The Wizard (Jeff Goldblum) point to a final showdown drenched in political manipulation, personal sacrifice, and magical fallout.
Jon M. Chu’s direction brings more gravitas this time around, matching the intimacy of the musical’s final act with the grandeur of a Hollywood fantasy epic. Newcomers like Jonathan Bailey as Fiyero and Marissa Bode as Nessarose return to complete their arcs, while lush costume design and thunderous orchestration hint at a finale filled with both heartbreak and catharsis.
Wicked: Part Two – For Good hits theaters November 26, 2025, closing out the saga that redefined Oz for a generation.
Prime Video teases a brutal return to the shadows in The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, starring Taylor Kitsch in a deadly new chapter of the conspiracy-fueled action saga.
Prime Video has unveiled the first official teaser for The Terminal List: Dark Wolf, a gritty and brutal expansion of its hit military-conspiracy series. Spun off from the original Terminal List starring Chris Pratt, this new installment follows fan-favorite character Ben Edwards—played by Taylor Kitsch—in a standalone origin story filled with betrayal, bloodshed, and black ops reckoning.
Clocking in at just over a minute, the teaser is terse, muscular, and drenched in tension. With a brooding voiceover and flashes of kinetic violence, it sets the stage for a darker, more psychological chapter. Kitsch, stripped of Navy SEAL idealism and grappling with internal war wounds, is shown navigating shadowy corridors, desert landscapes, and clandestine kill missions. We glimpse glimpses of CIA operatives, shattered alliances, and covert operations with unclear allegiances—all backed by a growling synth score and low-lit cinematography that mirrors his descent into moral gray zones.
Notably, Dark Wolf appears more intimate and internal than its predecessor, trading large-scale gunfights for something moodier and more cerebral. There’s a heavy emphasis on psychological warfare, loyalty, and trauma, positioning Ben Edwards not as a sidekick but as a haunted protagonist whose choices ripple into the broader universe of The Terminal List.
Created by Jack Carr and executive produced by Chris Pratt and Antoine Fuqua, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf premieres exclusively on Prime Video September 5.
Get Out meets Magnolia in Weapons, a chilling, multistrand horror film from Zach Cregger that intertwines trauma, time, and terror.
New Line Cinema has released the second official trailer for Weapons, the highly anticipated follow-up from Barbariandirector Zach Cregger. Leaning even deeper into psychological horror and narrative experimentation, Weapons assembles an ensemble cast led by Pedro Pascal, Renate Reinsve, and Charles Melton in what appears to be an ambitious, time-bending exploration of dread, grief, and violence across generations.
The trailer begins with disjointed snapshots: a body discovered on a rural highway, an anxious teen in a suburban home, and a fragmented monologue about “echoes that don’t fade.” As with Barbarian, Cregger plays with chronology and shifting perspectives. Pedro Pascal appears as a grieving father trapped in a Kafkaesque loop of paranoia. Renate Reinsve (The Worst Person in the World) seems to anchor another thread, possibly linked to a suburban conspiracy. Meanwhile, Charles Melton’s character—bloodied and shaking—repeats the line, “They’re still watching,” as static overtakes the screen.
Visually, the trailer blends shadowy interiors with stark outdoor dread—small-town Americana rendered uncanny. There are flashes of surveillance, cult iconography, and what seems to be a supernatural presence haunting the timelines. The tone echoes films like It Follows and Donnie Darko, but filtered through Cregger’s distinct blend of social unease and genre deconstruction.
The final moments of the trailer deliver a chilling crescendo: a child whispering into a walkie-talkie, a man vanishing mid-frame, and a series of home videos that suggest whatever Weapons is, it’s also deeply personal. With a screenplay shrouded in secrecy, early buzz indicates that this could be Cregger’s breakout as a singular voice in horror—an ambitious swing that may redefine what mainstream genre films can accomplish.
Weapons premieres in theaters September 27, distributed by New Line and Warner Bros.
Channing Tatum stars as America’s most bizarre fast-food bandit in Roofman, a stranger-than-fiction crime tale of love, desperation, and a Toys “R” Us hideout.
Paramount has released the official trailer for Roofman, a darkly comedic and suspense-laced true crime drama directed by Derek Cianfrance (Blue Valentine, The Place Beyond the Pines). Based on the unbelievable real-life exploits of Jeffrey Manchester, the film stars Channing Tatum as the charming yet troubled ex-Army Ranger who made headlines by robbing McDonald’s restaurants via their rooftops and hiding out for months in a Toys “R” Us undetected.
The trailer opens with an aerial shot of suburban Americana, underscored by a sly voiceover that hints at Jeffrey’s double life. After a string of inventive robberies, he lands behind bars—only to escape and take up residence inside a toy store, navigating its air ducts and surveillance systems like a suburban phantom. But his criminal ingenuity takes an emotional turn when he meets Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a single mother whose warmth draws him toward a second chance at life—one complicated by the lies he must keep buried.
As Jeffrey’s world begins to unravel, Roofman plays with tonal shifts: part cat-and-mouse thriller, part offbeat romance, and part character study of a man trapped between reinvention and recapture. The film’s visual style blends 2000s mall culture and late-capitalist malaise with Derek Cianfrance’s signature intimacy—lingering close-ups, handheld tension, and a melancholy hue that sharpens the surrealism of it all.
Rounding out the cast are Shea Whigham as the obsessive detective on Manchester’s trail, and young newcomer Will Riggins as Leigh’s son, who slowly uncovers the truth about his mother’s new boyfriend. With a screenplay that layers suspense with emotional resonance, Roofman offers a haunting look at loneliness, reinvention, and the absurdities of the American Dream.
Premiering August 29 in select theaters before expanding nationwide through Paramount Pictures.
Ari Aster’s Eddington reimagines the Western as a feverish COVID-19-era standoff in New Mexico, starring Joaquin Phoenix and Pedro Pascal amid rising tension and conspiracy.
A24 has unveiled the first trailer for Eddington, Ari Aster’s latest and most grounded work to date. Known for Hereditary, Midsommar, and Beau Is Afraid, Aster trades existential horror for real-world unease in this politically charged Western set during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. Set in the remote town of Eddington, New Mexico, the film follows Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix) and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal) as their opposing worldviews push the community to its breaking point.
From its opening moments, the trailer leans into tension and visual symbolism. A red-lit stare-down between Phoenix and Pascal through a rain-streaked window sets the tone—one of suspicion, division, and moral paralysis. Darius Khondji’s cinematography captures the stillness of lockdown life with arid palettes and hauntingly empty public spaces, while Bobby Krlic and Daniel Pemberton’s score adds a layer of ambient dread.
The ensemble includes Emma Stone as Louise Cross, the sheriff’s disillusioned wife, and Austin Butler as Vernon Jefferson Peak, a charismatic cult leader who fuels the town’s spiritual confusion. As misinformation and mistrust take root, Eddington becomes a chilling microcosm of America in crisis.
Glimpses of news clips, protests, and political speeches ground the drama in historical reality—from lockdown measures to election anxiety. Aster’s filmmaking resists spectacle, opting instead for quiet dread and internal collapse. With muted dialogue, long silences, and mounting psychological pressure, Eddington trades shootouts for standoffs and delivers a uniquely claustrophobic portrait of a country at war with itself.
The film opens in theaters July 18 ahead of a wider A24 rollout.
Ryan Gosling embarks on an interstellar mission to save humanity in Project Hail Mary, a high-concept sci-fi thriller based on the acclaimed Andy Weir novel
The official trailer for Project Hail Mary, directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, offers a gripping glimpse into humanity’s last hope. Ryan Gosling stars as Ryland Grace, a scientist who wakes alone on a spacecraft with no memory of the mission—and the fate of Earth hanging in the balance.
Built from Andy Weir’s bestseller (The Martian), the film follows Grace as he pieces together his purpose among the stars. Brief flashes reveal a looming cosmic catastrophe and a looming alien ally that could be key to saving Earth. Scenes aboard the vessel highlight intense, claustrophobic atmosphere—rusted metal corridors, soft lighting, Gosling’s weary determination.
The trailer cleverly balances epic ambition with intimate stakes: Gosling drifting in zero gravity, executing precision experiments under pressure, and confronting the unknown. With Hans Zimmer’s score swelling in the background, the director duo blend scientific rigor and emotional resonance. Hinting at humor, sacrifice, and wonder, the footage promises a thrilling ride that’s both cerebral and cinematic.
Project Hail Mary lands in theaters on March 15, 2026—just in time to launch a year of sci-fi blockbusters.
Channing Tatum stars as Jeffrey Manchester, a charming ex-Army Ranger turned McDonald’s-robbing fugitive in Roofman, a stranger-than-fiction true crime dramedy directed by Derek Cianfrance and produced by Paramount Pictures.
Based on an unbelievable true story, Roofman follows Jeffrey Manchester (Channing Tatum), a former Army Ranger and struggling father who becomes a folk legend by robbing McDonald’s restaurants—through their rooftops. His unconventional methods and obsessive neatness earn him the media moniker “Roofman,” and the film leans into his bizarre duality: a meticulous thief with manners and a moral code.
Directed by Derek Cianfrance and produced by Paramount Pictures, the trailer sets the tone with muted Americana visuals, ironic needle drops, and a surreal blend of suspense and dark humor. After escaping prison, Manchester secretly lives inside a North Carolina Toys “R” Us for six months, surviving undetected as he plans his next move. But when he falls for Leigh (Kirsten Dunst), a divorced mother drawn to his quiet charm, his carefully constructed double life starts to crack.
Tatum leads with subdued magnetism, crafting a performance that’s more melancholic than manic. Dunst brings nuance to Leigh, a woman caught between trust and instinct. Pedro Pascal, John C. Reilly, and Michael Cera round out a supporting cast that adds off-kilter dimension to an already surreal true crime tale.
As the FBI closes in, the film turns into a tense, character-driven cat-and-mouse story—with flashes of Coen Brothers-style absurdity. Roofman isn’t just a heist film. It’s a meditation on loneliness, reinvention, and the ways myth can mask desperation.
Set to premiere in select theaters September 20, Roofman might just be fall’s most unlikely crowd-pleaser.
Marvel’s first family is reborn. The Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces a bold new era for Reed Richards and company—complete with interdimensional stakes, family dynamics, and a long-awaited theatrical return.
Marvel Studios has released the final trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, the highly anticipated relaunch of one of its most iconic superhero teams. Arriving in theaters July 25, the film marks a cosmic reset for the franchise and introduces audiences to a younger, sharper, and more emotionally complex version of the quartet.
Directed by Matt Shakman (WandaVision), the trailer highlights a stylish origin story packed with visual flair and narrative ambition. Reed Richards (Joseph Quinn), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Rudy Pankow), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) gain their powers not through space travel, but via an experimental gateway to another dimension—teasing multiversal connections that could tie directly into Avengers: Secret Wars.
The footage leans into character-driven storytelling: Reed’s brilliance is burdened by guilt, Sue seeks control over her identity, Johnny’s impulsive heroism masks insecurity, and Ben—“The Thing”—grapples with physical transformation and emotional isolation. All of it is set against the rising threat of Annihilus, a fan-favorite villain from the Negative Zone, brought to life with a menacing flourish.
From period-inspired production design to the synth-heavy score nodding to 1980s sci-fi, First Steps looks poised to reinvigorate the franchise by embracing both intimacy and spectacle. This isn’t just about saving the world—it’s about redefining family in a world on the edge of collapse.
The Crawleys return for one last bow in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, a lush, emotionally resonant farewell that promises closure, scandal, and elegance on the grandest scale.
The legacy of Downton Abbey reaches its final chapter as Focus Features debuts the official trailer for Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, the concluding installment of the beloved British period drama. Returning to the grandeur of Highclere Castle, the trailer sets the stage for a sweeping conclusion filled with romance, revelations, and the enduring complexities of class and family.
Set in the early 1950s, the film finds the Crawley family grappling with a rapidly changing world while preparing for one final grand occasion—an event that will bring old secrets to light and push the family to confront what the future holds for the estate and their legacy. Michelle Dockery, Hugh Bonneville, Elizabeth McGovern, Maggie Smith (in archival form), and more reprise their roles, bringing heart and gravitas to a series that has defined a generation of period storytelling.
Director Simon Curtis (Downton Abbey: A New Era) returns behind the camera, with creator Julian Fellowes penning what appears to be a lovingly crafted farewell. From candlelit dinners to whispered confessions in marble halls, The Grand Finale trailer teases a return to form—familiar, yes, but brimming with nostalgia, elegance, and the emotional weight of saying goodbye.
Marriage gets messy in Splitsville, a raunchy, razor-sharp breakup comedy starring Samara Weaving and Glen Powell as bitter exes forced into a high-stakes couples therapy retreat—with everything on the line.
Splitsville has officially entered the chat—and it’s bringing scorched-earth comedy with it. Directed by Zoe Lister-Jones, this Redband trailer unleashes a hilariously unfiltered look at love, loss, and the all-out warfare of modern relationships. Glen Powell and Samara Weaving star as a couple in the middle of a contentious split who are unexpectedly invited to an experimental reconciliation retreat. The catch? They have to survive a week of forced intimacy, intrusive group therapy, and a house full of equally dysfunctional couples… or forfeit everything in the divorce.
From tequila-fueled confrontations to therapy sessions that spiral into chaos, the trailer teases a film that blends high-concept comedy with emotional stakes. Lister-Jones—who also co-wrote—channels the spirit of Forgetting Sarah Marshall and Couples Retreat but gives it a 2025 twist: dirtier, darker, and defiantly funnier. It’s not about getting back together—it’s about figuring out how to burn it all down with style.
With an ensemble cast that includes D’Arcy Carden, Manny Jacinto, and Michaela Watkins, Splitsville looks like the breakup comedy we didn’t know we needed—one that goes for the jugular, then offers a hug.
A gritty fugitive thriller with a beating heart, She Rides Shotgun pairs Taron Egerton and Ana Sophia Heger in a tense, tender father-daughter survival story on the run.
Based on the novel by Jordan Harper, She Rides Shotgun is a brooding, emotionally-charged action thriller that follows Nate (Taron Egerton), a newly released convict forced to protect the daughter he barely knows from the gang he betrayed. When 11-year-old Polly (Ana Sophia Heger) becomes the target of a violent vendetta, Nate has no choice but to flee across the American Southwest with her riding shotgun.
Directed by Smriti Mundhra, the trailer paints a raw, dusty portrait of survival, vengeance, and reluctant redemption. Egerton’s portrayal of Nate is intense and layered, while Heger holds her own as Polly—smart, wary, and slowly discovering the truth about her father. With a pulsing score, desperate shootouts, and stolen moments of tenderness, the film promises a grounded, emotionally rich ride.
From battered motel rooms to sun-scorched highways, She Rides Shotgun delivers an intimate twist on the classic crime road movie, balancing grit with gravitas. It’s part Logan, part Midnight Special, with the kind of emotional payoff genre fans crave.

Mike Flanagan adapts Stephen King’s experimental novella with surprising warmth in this first official scene.
From acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep) comes an emotional new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck, starring Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill. This official clip offers a first look at the film’s unconventional tone—far from typical King terror, the story unfolds in reverse chronology, beginning with Chuck’s death and tracing his life back through moments of joy, mystery, and loss. The scene, set in an eerie yet oddly tender world, showcases Flanagan’s ability to infuse metaphysical themes with human intimacy.
The adaptation stitches together three seemingly disparate vignettes that eventually coalesce into a portrait of life, death, and cosmic significance. With evocative cinematography, melancholic undertones, and performances that straddle surrealism and sincerity, this clip gives audiences an early taste of a film that promises to be one of the most ambitious King adaptations to date.

An early look at One Battle After Another teases Paul Thomas Anderson’s return to character-driven drama, with Leonardo DiCaprio anchoring a tense and intimate scene titled “Baby.”
The first official clip from Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has arrived. Titled “Baby,” the scene offers a restrained but emotionally loaded moment featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in what may be one of his most vulnerable performances to date.
Set in the American heartland during an unspecified postwar period, One Battle After Another appears to be a meditation on generational trauma, masculinity, and the silent wars waged within domestic spaces. The clip showcases Anderson’s signature stillness and emotional geometry—long takes, lingering silences, and dialogue that hints at a deeper rupture beneath the surface. DiCaprio’s character remains unreadable yet exposed, as Anderson captures a man circling a confrontation he’s not ready to have.
Shot on 35mm with the director’s frequent collaborators behind the camera, “Baby” suggests the film’s power lies not in spectacle but in emotional precision. With Anderson returning to stripped-down storytelling, One Battle After Another is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated auteur-driven dramas.

Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman sit down for a candid conversation about their new film Oh, Hi!, exploring their shared history, Jewish coming-of-age humor, and the intimacy of playing former best friends reuniting at a wedding weekend gone sideways.
In this Tribeca-exclusive “Inside Look,” Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman open up about their chemistry in Oh, Hi!, a tender, sharply funny dramedy from director Rachel Wolff. Reuniting in their first major collaboration since childhood acting classes, the pair discuss the film’s emotional undertones—Jewish tradition, romantic regret, and the specific discomfort of seeing someone you once loved again. From shooting improvised dialogue to shaping their characters through personal anecdotes, this interview blends warmth, wit, and a behind-the-scenes peek at one of the festival’s most talked-about films. Candid, hilarious, and quietly moving, it’s a conversation worth watching in full.

David Corenswet takes fans inside his full-body transformation for James Gunn’s Superman, unveiling the physical and emotional toll behind the cape. The video documents his months-long journey with celebrity trainer Paolo Mascitti, where he followed a strict 4,500-calorie diet, performed high-volume gym sessions, and underwent flight training with the stunt team. Between wire rig rehearsals and costume fittings, Corenswet brings humanity to the superhero prep process, making the myth feel real. Paired with insight from Gunn’s production team, this featurette is more than just a fitness reel—it’s a testament to the making of a modern icon.
Genius or madman? In this tense new clip from The Mastermind, the lines between control, chaos, and consequence begin to blur.
The official clip from The Mastermind offers a taut, slow-burn moment that introduces us to the film’s enigmatic central figure. Played with unnerving calm, the titular mastermind reveals just enough of his plan to keep the audience—and his adversaries—on edge. The setting is minimal, the dialogue razor-sharp, and the tension thick enough to cut with a glance.
Directed with precision and dark flair, the clip teases the cerebral tone of the full feature. Whether it’s a criminal operation or a psychological chess match, The Mastermind promises a story rooted in control, manipulation, and a deep dive into the mind of a character who always seems one step ahead.
In My Father’s Shadow, memories linger like ghosts—and sometimes, they speak. This gripping new clip teases the emotional reckoning at the heart of the film.
The official clip from My Father’s Shadow offers a haunting glimpse into a fractured legacy. Set in a quiet, dimly lit interior, the moment captures a charged exchange between a young woman and the fading echoes of her late father’s influence. Grief, anger, and unfinished business hang in the air like static.
Visually restrained but emotionally volatile, the scene is a masterclass in subtle storytelling. There are no raised voices—just glances, withheld truths, and the quiet ache of things left unsaid. The father’s presence, whether real or imagined, casts a long psychological shadow over the daughter’s every move.
With intimate cinematography and powerful performances, this clip signals a drama built on emotional excavation. My Father’s Shadow is less about ghosts and more about inheritance—the wounds passed down, and the courage it takes to finally confront them.
Ana de Armas stares down destiny in Ballerina’s chilling new clip—because in this world, even the mention of “Baba Yaga” carries blood-soaked consequences.
In the official clip titled “Baba Yaga”, Ballerina unveils a moment of high-stakes reckoning. Ana de Armas’s character, Rooney, comes face to face with the dark legend of the John Wick underworld: the Baba Yaga. The name alone evokes fear, respect, and a whole lot of violence—and now, it’s her turn to live up to the myth.
Set in the neon-soaked, gunmetal world of Wick’s Continental-connected universe, the scene is quiet but deadly. Rooney is poised, precise, and entirely aware of the legacy she’s inherited. The clip pulses with tension, hinting at a story rooted in vengeance, ritual, and an unspoken code of survival.
With de Armas exuding controlled fury and grace, this preview teases the spiritual and stylistic inheritance of Wick’s bloodline—proof that Ballerina won’t just dance around its action pedigree. It’s ready to own it.
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.

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.
