Angus Cloud in Lottery Ticket Mayhem Film ‘Your Lucky Day’ Trailer
"This could be our chance at a better life..." Well Go USA has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled Your Lucky Day, marking the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Dan Brown (not the author). This just premiered at Fantastic Fest a few weeks ago, and it's opening in November. After a dispute over a winning lottery ticket turns into a deadly hostage situation, the witnesses must decide exactly how far they’ll go—and how much blood they’re willing to spill—for a cut of the $156 million prize. Greed and desperation rules America. FF describes it as "pressure cooker of a morality tale. Effortlessly charismatic, with a canny ability to telegraph the contradictory emotions & restless impulses of marginalized characters, Your Lucky Day marks one of the final performances of the unique young talent whose life was tragically cut short in July of this year." The film stars Angus Cloud (who passed away in July), Elliot Knight, Jessica Garza, Sterling Beaumon, Mousa Hussein Kraish, Spencer Garrett, and Jason O'Mara. I dig the grainy, neon-lit look & feel of this. ...

New US Trailer for ‘Orlando, My Political Biography’ Experimental Doc
"Come, come! I'm sick to death of this particular self. I want another." Janus Films has revealed an official US trailer for an acclaimed experimental documentary film called Orlando, My Political Biography, from Spanish filmmaker Paul B. Preciado making his directorial debut. This has played at many festivals all over the world this year, including most recently at TIFF, NYFF, Vancouver, and AFI Fest this fall. Academic virtuoso turned filmmaker Paul B. Preciado's award-winning doc tells his and others' stories of transition through unique reenactments & visual interpretations of Virginia Woolf's novel Orlando: A Biography. "Not content to simply update a seminal work, Preciado interrogates the relevance of Orlando in the continuing struggle against anti-trans ideologies and in the fight for global trans rights." The doc features 20 trans and non-binary people playing the role of Orlando as they perform interpretations of scenes. It may not be for everyone, but it looks like a fascinating experiment rethinking how art connects with contemporary society.

HBO Trailer for ‘AKA Mr. Chow’ Doc Profiling the Famous Restaurateur
"Art & creativity is something that is very important to him. It's what makes us human." HBO debuted the official trailer for a documentary film titled AKA Mr Chow (or a.k.a. Mr. Chow), a profile of the famous restaurateur. This recently premiered at the 2023 Telluride Film Festival and it will play on HBO/Max later this month. "Meet the man behind the name." The film is a vibrant portrait of the artist, actor, and famed restaurateur Michael Chow. You may know his restaurants, but most have probably never eaten at them - they're very fancy, exclusive places. His restaurants are located in London, New York, Beverly Hills, Miami, and Las Vegas. With his signature circular glasses and mustache, Michael Chow (born as Zhou Yinghua in 1930s Shanghai before moving to London) is an exuberant force at the crossroads between eccentricity and sophistication. Now in his 80s, but vibrant as ever, Chow leads us through the story of his own life. I like the animated segments of this. And that he's finally embracing his artist side, coming out of his shell, ...

Teaser Trailer for ‘The Artful Dodger’ Series About a Thief in Australia
"If you have any ambition, then you have you fight for it." Hulu has revealed the first teaser trailer for a series called The Artful Dodger, a spin on Charles Dickens' classic story Oliver Twist, this time down in Oz. Set in 1850s Australia the series follows adult double life of Charles Dickens' famous prince of thieves Dodger, now a surgeon, but who can't shake his predilection for crime. Dodger's past returns to haunt him with the arrival of Fagin, who wants to lure him back into a world of crime. And an even greater threat — to Dodger's heart — is Lady Belle Fox (played by Maia Mitchell), the Governor's daughter, who is determined to become the colony’s first female surgeon. Starring talented young actor Thomas Brodie-Sangster as Jack Dawkins, along with David Thewlis, Damon Herriman, Tim Minchin, Miranda Tapsell, Luke Carroll, Kim Gyngell, Vivienne Awosoga, and Nicholas Burton. This actually looks quite good, with some strong style and intriguing characters to follow in this old world. Got my attention - it's worth a look.
