Aaron Harvey’s third directorial outing, Into The Ashes, made the rounds over the weekend with a first trailer. The film is just the latest for Donnybrook star Frank Grillo who’s been keeping himself busy on several sets, and with at least one other title currently slated for August in Joe Carnahan’s Boss Level. With an honest job and a loving wife, Nick Brenner believed he had safely escaped his violent, criminal history. But his old crew hasn’t forgotten about him or the money he stole, and when they take what Nick now values the most – his wife – he has nothing left to lose. Confronted by the town sheriff, who is also his father-in-law, Nick must decide if he will stay on his new path or indulge in his need for revenge and force his enemies to pay for what they have done. Grillo is joined by Luke Grimes, […]
Henry Dunham’s THE STANDOFF AT SPARROW CREEK Gets A Taut, Suspenseful Trailer
Mass shootings are certainly a chilling subject matter. Far from being an escapist narrative in someways, leave it to writer and director Henry Dunham to scribe and craft together what aims to be worthwhile and intriguing thriller, tackling the issue with reverence and poise in RLJE Films’ The Standoff At Sparrow Creek. The film earned a fine round of reviews and responses from critics at this year’s TIFF. RLJE snatched the rights during its Toronto run and now the distro banner has rolled out its first trailer, host to a cast that lists James Badge Dale, Brian Geraghty, Patrick Fischler, Chris Mulkey, Happy Anderson and Robert Aramayo. After a mass shooting at a police funeral, reclusive ex-cop Gannon realizes that the killer belongs to the same militia he joined after quitting the force. Knowing the police will be closing in on them, Gannon quarantines his fellow militiamen in a remote […]

SPECTRAL: Heavy Firepower Reigns Down On A City Of Ghosts In The New Trailer For The Netflix Sci-Fi Actioner
The first trailer for Nic Mathieu’s feature debut, Spectral, arrived a week ahead of its Netflix release. The marketing is pretty minimal here considering all we have is a trailer and maybe one or two images floating online and judging by the footage, I would have thought the push would have been a little heavier. George Nolfi provided the script which sees a DARPA scientist escorted into a battle-scarred, war-torn city by a Special Ops team of Delta Force where they end up facing off with mysterious phantom aggressors who’ve been the cause of a series of inexplicable deaths. James Badge Dale, Emily Mortimer and Bruce Greenwood star. Netflix is releasing the film on December 9. For this, it’s about time the trailer arrived as the date inched closer. Take a look and set the date!

Michael Bay's 13 HOURS: THE SECRET SOLDIERS OF BENGHAZI Unveils Its First Trailer
Blockbuster director Michael Bay is tentatively off the radar from making alien robots fight each other in epic death duels. Still though, it’s in films like his latest, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi, that he continues to illuminate the best image of military might, and here and now through the conception of Chuck Hogan’s script based on the tumultous events that took place in Libya in 2012, and Mitchell Zuckoff’s subsequent book in 2014. There’s no question to the divisiveness of the source material here: An American ambassador was killed and it led to an endless inquiry by our Congress with little to zero results, thus spinning into a mainstream media frenzy between party lines. Guaranteed however, as effective as these films are, 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers Of Benghazi looks very appealing in cinematic form with a cast led by John Krazinski, James Badge Dale, Toby Stephens […]
