[UPDATED] JOHN WICK Kills His Way Back Into Theaters In November!

Updated 12:52pm EST with official trailer Earlier: Lionsgate is revving up a new campaign to re-release hit action thriller John Wick back into theaters for its tenth anniversary on November 3 and November 6 from Fathom Events. The studio also just rolled out a brand new poster below for the occasion on Monday which you can view at the bottom of the page. Produced in part by Thunder Road and 87Eleven Productions, the Chad Stahelski-helmed movie hailed the start of a new era in action direction for stunt professionals aiming toward the director’s chair. Rejoining Stahelski with fellow Matrix franchise colleague and starring actor Keanu Reeves, the inaugural launchpad for the John Wick franchise became a world-building affair that follows the revenge-fueled exploits of a widower and ex-hitman violently pulled back into his former throes of The Continental, where the path to redemption can only be paid in blood and […]

GAYONG: October Martial Arts Biopic Prod Taps ‘Mat Kilau’ Co-Star For Malaysia’s Answer To ‘Ip Man’!

I highly suggest looking into Malaysian actor Beto Kusyairy’s filmography, particularly if you’re a reader of this website and others like it. One quick-to-point title I’ll throw out is Syamsul Yusof’s Mat Kilau, readily available on Netflix and has Kusyairy joining lead actor Adi Putra in the story of a band of warriors rebelling against British colonial rule in the 1890s. Kusyairy has one of my more favorite moments in the movie that really got my action fanboy blood flowing and ultimately put him on the map for me as someone I’d like to see more of. That day finally arrived in recent weeks with Sol Pictures Sdn Bhd putting the word out for director Faisal Ishak’s upcoming production of Gayong, taken from the name of the titular Malaysian fighting style of Silat Gayong. What’s more is Kusyairy will star in the lead role of Silat Gayong grandmaster Datuk Meor […]

DOMINO: New Official Trailer Revealed For Vietnamese Crime Actioner

Tino Nguyen’s new action thriller Domino has an official trailer as of Thursday following a teaser earlier this month in a long-running campaign finally getting traction. I actually kinda dig this trailer too, particularly with its white knuckle cliffhanger vibe at the end, whereas a lot of trailers are way more spoilery than they need to be. At any rate, we have actor Thuan Nguyen in the role of An, the estranged and only son of a crime boss who is summoned to America, and uncovers a deadly double-cross in his father’s organization. With the help of an undercover cop and innocent lives now at risk, it’s up to An to tread a seedy criminal underworld he wanted no part in, in order to bring his father’s killer to justice. Domino, or Domino: The Last Exit as one English translation notes, also stars Henry Nguyen, Quoc Cuong, Simon Kook, and […]

SINNERS Teases Ryan Coogler’s ‘New Vision Of Fear’ In The Official Trailer

Little was known about the unnamed genre film that Ryan Coogler and his Fruitvale Station, Creed, and Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan were reuniting for as of January. It’s been hype-inducing, even enough that it ensued a bidding war in which Warner Bros. Pictures came out on top by the following month, and now, the official trailer and key art has been revealed for the new thriller, Sinners, which opens in theaters and IMAX on March 7. From Ryan Coogler—director of “Black Panther” and “Creed”—and starring Michael B. Jordan comes a new vision of fear: “Sinners.” Trying to leave their troubled lives behind, twin brothers (Jordan) return to their hometown to start again, only to discover that an even greater evil is waiting to welcome them back. “You keep dancing with the devil, one day he’s gonna follow you home.” Sinners sees Jordan in a dual role here, and […]

Marvel’s THUNDERBOLTS* …Assemble? Watch The New Teaser Trailer!

Marvel’s Thunderbolts* are coming, at long last with an official teaser trailer now up to signal fans with the latest move in the post-Endgame comic book saga following Black Widow and Disney+ series Falcon And The Winter Soldier. Jake Schreier directs the pic starring Florence Pugh, David Harbour, Hannah John-Kamen, Wyatt Russell, Olga Kurylenko, Sebastian Stan and Lewis Pullman, and more. There’s no official logline yet, but gather as much as you will from the footage below as there’s plenty to sift through. This thing was leaked online a while back too, but it’s nice to see an asset like this with way more clarity than something spy-shot from an angle, which is pretty lame. Beyond that, May 2, 2025 is the date!

CELLS AT WORK: Mei Nagano And Takeru Satoh Fight Back Against Formidable Ills In The Official Trailer!

The official trailer is out for Hideki Takeuchi’s long-awaited adaptation of the hit manga and anime, Cells At Work. Best of all apart from the featuring of Mei Nagano and Takeru Satoh is the inclusion of other key characters, and now with actors Abe Sadawo and Mina Ashida adding the apropos human element to the stakes. The film, as fans of Akane Shimizu’s IP know it, embarks on an Osmosis Jones-style adventure of a red blood cell and her travails at maintaining the human body, alongside all the requisite cells needed – including the bacteria and virus-batling white blood cells and T-cells, and the healing cells to form clots. I love Takeuchi’s approach already, and not that I wasn’t already sold on the teaser from a while back, but this trailer makes a great case for recommended viewing. Cells At Work arrives in Japan cinemas from Warner Bros. Japan on […]

BROKEN RAGE: Get A First Look At The New Takeshi Kitano Crime Flick Coming In 2025

A new poster is out touting Takeshi Kitano’s new subversive crime comedy, Broken Rage. Kitano directs a cast that also lists fellow Kubi co-stars Tadanobu Asano and Shidō Nakamura, and Nao Omori, along with career cohort Hakuryu for the Amazon MGM Studios-produced flick. Kitano’s Broken Rage explores “comedy within a violent film,” to redefine the norms of the yakuza crime genre. According to the film’s description, “the first half follows a hitman, Nezumi (played by Takeshi Kitano), fighting for his survival when he’s caught between the police and yakuza. But in the second half, the gritty crime-action thriller takes an unexpected turn, evolving into a self-parodying comedy that retells the same story with a captivatingly humorous touch.” Broken Rage makes history as the first Japanese film produced for streaming to be officially festival-selected, with an Out Of Competition premiere slated for September 6 at the 81st Venice International Film Festival.

PAPER LINE: BRAGGING RIGHTS Punches Down With New Key Art For Ryan Watson’s Shortfilm Sequel

Tubi is pretty much a go-to place for anyone looking for some delightful surprises in niche driven home entertainment. Ryan Watson’s independent shortform action drama, Paper Line, is a testament to this fact after two years of collecting awards and nominations from various festivals prior to its current streaming and digital availability.
