"The world thinks I look cool with a gun in my hand!" Ha. Prime Video has debuted the second trailer for an action comedy movie called Heads of State, which will be ready to watch in July - though streaming only (not in theaters at all). A wild, totally bonkers fun action comedy movie from Russian filmmaker Ilya Naishuller, also behind the action hits Nobody and Hardcore Henry previously. Two heads are better than one. Idris Elba plays the UK Prime Minister and John Cena plays the US President – the two "Heads of State" have a public rivalry that risks their countries' alliance. But when they become targets of a powerful enemy, they’re forced to rely on each other as they end up on a crazy multinational run. Allied with Noel, a brilliant MI6 agent, they must find a way to thwart a conspiracy that threatens the free world. The film also stars Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Stephen Root, Carla Gugino, Jack Quaid, Sarah Niles, and Paddy Considine - who is narrating this trailer (though he sounds & looks a lot like Sharlto Copley). There's some ridiculous humor in this and the action looks absurdly over-the-top - it might just […]

"Today, we are your defenders. The four of us will face the danger... and we will protect you." Marvel has revealed another new 70-second trailer for The Fantastic Four: First Steps movie, which is launching into theaters in July. This footage announces that tickets are on sale – a full 1.5 months in advance. Looking good! On a 60s-inspired retro-futuristic Earth, the Fantastic Four must protect Earth from being devoured by the cosmic being Galactus and his enigmatic herald, the Silver Surfer. From director Matt Shakman, this FF movie stars Pedro Pascal as Mister Fantastic, Vanessa Kirby as Invisible Woman, Joseph Quinn as the Human Torch, Ebon Moss-Bachrach as The Thing, Ralph Ineson as Galactus, Julia Garner as Shalla-Bal / Silver Surfer, along with Paul Walter Hauser, John Malkovich, Natasha Lyonne, and Sarah Niles. Most of the footage in this comes from the recent official trailer, and it still looks promising. The camaraderie and the comedy between the Fantastic Four "family" looks pretty fun and entertaining, and everything else looks properly epic once Galactus & Silver Surfer show up. Really hoping this turns out good. Here's the "Tickets on Sale" trailer for Matt Shakman's The Fantastic Four: First Steps, via […]

Arriving on VOD later this month. A rock climbing supernatural horror movie made by actual rock climbers and shot on real rock walls. A group of climbers embarks on a dangerous climb a cliff that has been off-limits for years. What begins as an audacious expedition transforms into a battle for survival against a force that toys with them. During their ascent, they come face to face with a malevolent force that quickly turns their expedition into a harrowing battle for survival. This poster hints at the supernatural force hanging over this rock wall. Actor William Fichtner is in this with Marc Hills, Jocelyn Hudon, David Clennon, Christina Kirkman, plus special guests Kyle Gass and real climber Alex Honnold. This looks crazy cool, because it's actually super realistic and actually shot by real climbers doing real rock climbing and not some sound stages with CGI cliffs added. The supernatural side of it looks a bit tame but I'm very curious to watch this film anyway. Here's […]
