The Apple Original Films release begins its global launch on February 14, and stars Miles Teller, and Anya Taylor-Joy along with Sigourney Weaver, and Sope Dirisu.

They bond from a distance while trying to stay vigilant in defending against an unseen enemy. When the cataclysmic threat to humanity is revealed to them, they must work together in a test of both their physical and mental strength to keep the secret in the gorge before it’s too late.

It’s been quite the while since director Joseph Kosinski took to the helm with twice the Tom Cruise for futuristic sci-fi, Oblivion. They’re back together now and with San Diego Comic Con in full steam, the official teaser for Top Gun: Maverick is now here. The plot is largely a mystery though the general knowledge is that the iconic role of Maverick – played by Cruise since the 1986 film – will be an instructor in a technologically advanced world. Matt Donnelly at Variety quotes Cruise stating the following during the Hall H panel: “…to me, ‘Top Gun’ is about competition.” In the trailer shown, that sentiment is alive and well but its not about skilled pilots fighting against machines — this time, they’re battling drones.” Peter Craig, Justin Marks, and Eric Warren Singer penned the script. Rounding out the cast are Miles Teller and returning actor Val Kilmer, with […]
With no shortage on boxing dramas anytime soon, Boiler Room helmer Ben Younger is now out to make an impression with his own offering, Bleed For This. Actor Miles Teller (The Divergent Series, Whiplash) leads the film in its newest among true story-based underdog tales as intense as these can get. Teller certainly samples that intensity here with an immersive role that will undoubtedly continue to show his grit and gravitas as an actor post YA sci-fi, which is something I think we can all appreciate as moviegoers. SYNOPSIS: BLEED FOR THIS is the incredible true story of one of the most inspiring and unlikely comebacks in sports history. Miles Teller (Whiplash, Divergent) stars as Vinny “The Pazmanian Devil” Pazienza, a local Providence boxer who shot to stardom after winning two world title fights. After a near-fatal car accident leaves Vinny with a severed spine, doctors tell him he may […]

Miles Teller leads the film inspired by a true story, and one that apparently even has Martin Scorsese attached as an executive producer, so that should be pleasing for boxing aficionados looking forward to some cinema by then.

Well, in the weeks leading up to today’s trailer for director Josh Trank‘s contribution to the Marvel movieverse rebooting Fantastic Four (or Fant4stic), plenty of blurbs and opinions have been tossed about online – some more cynical than most. But one thing is clear though: You have to admire the beauty in how material like this can be absorbed by someone with a different view of things, and right now, we’re in an era where directors and studios are allowing themselves the advantage of taking films to generate different approaches. We see it all the time with the evolution of Batman and Superman on the big screen, and even our current topic at the moment which saw its first live-action approach back in an unofficially released Roger Corman production back in 1994. Since then, the 2005 iteration drew some mixed reactions but did well enough for a sequel that included […]
