"Have some pride! Let me do my work and grateful" HBO Max has debuted a second teaser trailer for The Regime, one of their highly anticipated upcoming series launching in early 2024. And boy does it look good – very good! The Regime is a new political thriller dark comedy series created by Will Tracy, now known as the writer of The Menu screenplay (love this film), working with British filmmaker Stephen Frears. The series stars Kate Winslet as the dictator of a fictional Middle European autocracy, following along as her regime begins to crumble and her power begins to wane. Ohhh yeah this seems like a wicked story twist into a dark satire about how insane all these power hungry, autocrat politicians always are. The supporting cast includes Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, Martha Plimpton, Guillaume Gallienne, Hugh Grant, and Danny Webb. Even better than the first teaser! It looks so delectable and twisted and insane, just the right kind of mockery of these autocrats and dictators that the world needs right now. Enjoy. Here's the second teaser trailer for Max's ...

"Every frame has our fingerprints on it." The one-of-a-kind movie design house Weta Workshop based in New Zealand has dropped a video online showcasing their work on the sci-fi epic The Creator. Directed by Gareth Edwards, this A.I. robots vs imperialist humans action thriller opened in theaters in the fall a few months ago. While it didn't do as well as expected at the box office, there are still many fans worldwide who fell hard for this sci-fi spectacular. Weta Workshop, the ingenious creators behind all the Lord of the Rings movies, designed and created almost every futuristic costume, weapon, military outfit, and other specialty prop pieces for the movie. "Know the world first before we start designing for it" is the mantra they discuss in this. It's a remarkable behind-the-scenes look, showcasing a whole book's worth of images and sketches and more. Weta Workshop is still the best at what they do! Mesmerizing to watch this look at their process. Here's the official "Behind the Scenes with Wētā Workshop on The Creator" featurette, from YouTube: You can rewatch the teaser for ...

"That's what entertainment's supposed to do..." Strand Releasing has unveiled the official US trailer for the fascinating documentary film called Fantastic Machine, made by two Swedish filmmakers, out to watch on VOD in January. This premiered at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival and played at tons of fests all year long (it's the exact same trailer as the festival promo). The original full title is "And the King Said, What a Fantastic Machine", which is taken from the reaction of King Edvard VII of England about Georges Méliès' staged recreation of his coronation (in 1902), his one-liner resonating with a double meaning today: "What a fantastic machine the camera is." From the first camera to 45 billion cameras worldwide today, the visual sociologist filmmakers widen their lens to expose both humanity's unique obsession with the camera's image and the social consequences that lay ahead. I watched this at Sundance and it's a compelling, brutally honest film that shows both the good and bad sides of humanity's obsession with cameras. Yes, it gets into what's wrong and bad about TikTok / ...

"Live and resist in a world of black and white." Toho in Japan has unveiled plans to release a special black & white version of Godzilla: Minus One in theaters in January 2024 in Japan. The studio has dubbed this new version as "Godzilla-1.0/C", meaning Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color. It's a "monochrome video version" that will be playing in theaters - only in Japan for now, but perhaps later in the US. One can hope! Post war Japan is at its lowest point when a new crisis emerges in the form of a giant monster, baptized in the horrific power of the atomic bomb. This epic action sci-fi movie stars Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada, Munetaka Aoki, Hidetaka Yoshioka, Sakura Ando, Kuranosuke Sasaki. This is the latest B&W release of a great action movie, following Mad Max: Fury Road and The Mist, among others. It's actually much more of a throwback to the first 1954 Gojira movie, which was originally in B&W anyway. This is an awesome trailer, properly evoking that classic 1954 feel. This movie rules! Go see ...
