BEYOND SKYLINE: Frank Grillo And Iko Uwais Battle Aliens In The International Teaser Trailer

The past few years have been a vigorous tug-and-pull over just how long it would be before actor and martial artist Iko Uwais would see a more principal role than in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Landing a more definitive English speaking line in this year’s thriller, Headshot, was just another layer on the waiting cake added until more time passed until now, with actor Frank Grillo front and center with the cast that outlines the first of possible prospects to come between two actors who’ve gotten their start in different markets. I speak of prospects with a certain action crime saga remake in mind, but in the good name of staying on topic, let’s bring things back into focus. For this, we now turn to the long-awaited first official teaser trailer for the new sci-fi thriller, Beyond Skyline from writer/producer/director Liam O’Donnell who served on the first film from […]

HiGH&LOW THE MOVIE 2: End Of Sky Gets Brutal And Emotive In The Newest Trailer

It’s been nearly two years since the LDH, Inc’s HiGH&LOW project, shepherded by producer Exile Hiro, with two shows and a slate of films that will now culminate with a two-part finale this year. For that, I reckon it’ll be another few years thereafter until we hear more on overseas distribution should we be so lucky, and I can only hope this is at least the case as much as I’ve been following this particular franchise. That’s a two-season drama and a five-film run with two of those being spin-offs therein, featuring a stellar line-up of actors and notables of J-pop supergroup Exile Tribe as the franchise chronicles the events within a town fractured by gangs and the interwoven politics of its leaders. For this, we now have Kubo Shigeaki (HiGH&LOW: The Movie) and Nakakuki Tsuyoshi (HiGH&LOW: Season Two) at the chair for the latest chapter in the saga, HiGH&LOW […]

GLOW: Netflix Greenlights More Bodyslams And Brutal Comedy For The Hit Series

The first episode’s very intro of Netflix series, Glow, is a terrific sampling of the world you’re about to enter the second Scandal’s “The Warrior” starts playing. It’s an era reintroduced by Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch (Nurse Jackie) with actress Alison Brie starring opposite Betty Gilpin for the story of a interwoven tales of friendship, loyalty and betrayal amid one struggling actress’s stoic quest for career stability on the set of a longshot all-female wrestling show with a washed-up producer and a rag-tag, colorful line-up of freshmen overnight TV athletes. Having taken its cues from David McLane’s short-lived, original real-life 1986 cult-popular female-centric program, Flahive and Mensch got what they came for with Glow upon its ten-episode premiere back in late June. They got viewers. They got an audience and now they’re getting a second season set to continue what is so aptly described as “a Cinderella story with […]

PEACE BREAKER: Catch The Latest Trailer For The Aaron Kwok Thriller

I’m just sort of counting the days until news breaks on distribution for Lien Yi-Chi’s new film, Peace Breaker. Until then, the latest trailer has arrived with Kwok starring as a corrupt cop caught in a jam involving a deadly accident, lots of drugs, and a mysterious enemy who holds all the cards in actor Wang Qianyuan. The trailer definitely sells the action, but for an adaptation of a Korean thriller with darker characters, a lot of this feels a lot more comical than it probably should. Maybe some subtitles would fare better with context and maybe we’ll see that happen shortly after the film’s August 18 China release. Check out the trailer!

BHOOMI: Catch The Teaser Trailer For Omung Kumar’s Hard-Hitting Revenge Drama

Three years after last co-starring in satirical sci-fi comedy, PK, actor Sanjay Dutt is making his return to the big screen in meaty, grisled fashion with darkly toned drama, Bhoomi. Plot specifics are very thin unless you can understand Hindi with Omung Kumar, helmer of 2014 award-winning female boxing biopic, Mary Kom pairing the actor with actress Aditi Rao Hydari for the revenge-driven tale centered on a closely-knit father and daughter. With that in mind, the trailer offers plenty to get riled up for ahead of its September 22 release, so take from it what you can and enjoy the trailer below… And the poster just beneath is quite something as well!

WHAT HAPPENED TO MONDAY: Good Question, Great Trailer

Leave it to Dead Snow and Dead Snow 2 helmer Tommy Wirkola to set the tone accordingly with a dystopian tale that centers actress Noomi Rapace right in the thick of it all. What Happened To Monday is set to premiere on August 18 on Netflix and with a full-fledged trailer in its wake as of a week ago which I’m only just now catching wind of. Set in a not so distant future (2073) burdened by overpopulation, with a global one child per family policy, seven identical sisters (portrayed by Noomi Rapace) live a cat-and-mouse existence pretending to be a single person to elude the Child Allocation Bureau. This was a delightful find and will surely bode as an alternative to viewers looking for an competitive alternative as it opens opposite new superhero series, The Defenders that day. What Happened To Monday joins Rapace with Willem Dafoe, Glenn Close, Robert […]
