WIDOWS: A Sisterhood Of Thieves Takes Shape In The First Official Trailer For The Revenge Heist Thriller
Spoiler alert: All the husbands die! …That’s obviously not a spoiler though as preset by the premise and title of 12 Years A Slave helmer Steve McQueen’s Lynda La Plante adaptation, Widows.

Set in contemporary Chicago, amid a time of turmoil, tensions build when Veronica (Oscar® winner Viola […]

Viola Davis Pulls The Strings In The Final SUICIDE SQUAD Trailer!
It’s been a terrific start to the week for all things in the world of final trailers and director David Ayer is certainly living up to it so far. His latest, Suicide Squad continues to propel forward after a great year-long campaign promoting the DC Comics inspired property about a band of villains assembled by the government in an incognito effort to cover itself should things go awry. Ayer himself wrote the script as well and while we await what forthcoming reviews have to say about it, the footage seen so far in conjunction with the costumes and overall look and vision have pretty much nailed it with most fans so far, which clearly indicates he did his homework. The film opens on August 5, which is in three weeks, and so Warner Bros. Pictures are now out with a final trailer for the film, delivering what seemingly appears to […]
