Time for a look at how the next year in cinema is shaping up. Every new year brings another Sundance Film Festival and with less than two months until Sundance 2024 kicks off on January 18th, it's time to find out what's premiering at this prestigious fest in Utah. Sundance has revealed their 2024 selection of official feature films premiering in January, including 91 films playing across these 10 main categories (including their usual four Competition categories), ranging from new documentaries to quirky comedies, compelling dramas, and everything else good.

Official Trailer for Sports Comedy ‘The UnderDoggs’ with Snoop Dogg

This is being dumped on streaming after originally being set for a theatrical release in January, after delays from release dates in 2023.

Of course it is, how dare Hollywood come up with an original idea! Snoop Dogg stars as "Two Js" along with Tika Sumpter, Andrew Schulz, Mike Epps, & George Lopez. This looks really, really bad. Here's the official red band trailer (+ poster) for Charles Stone III's The Underdoggs, from YouTube: When ...
