Maori Tribes Action Thriller ‘The Convert’ Trailer Starring Guy Pearce

"Only blood redeems blood. Magnolia Pictures has debuted the US trailer for a film called The Convert from New Zealand, made by Kiwi filmmaker Lee Tamahori. He used to make big Hollywood action movies for years, then went back to New Zealand to make more intimate dramas about his homeland - I loved his last one The Patriarch from 2016. Tamahori’s new action-filled historical epic stars Guy Pearce as Thomas Munro, a newly arrived preacher in a colonial town in early 19th-century New Zealand who finds himself at the center of a long-standing battle between two Māori tribes. A lay preacher arrives at a British settlement in 1830s. His violent past is soon drawn into question and his faith put to the test, as he finds himself caught in the middle of a bloody war between Maori tribes. In addition to Pearce, this also stars Tioreore Ngatai-Melbourne as Rangimai, Antonio Te Maioha, Jacqueline McKenzie, and Lawrence Makoare. This looks legit and entertaining, despite hearing absolutely no buzz about it after its premiere at TIFF last year. Here's the official US trailer ...

Riley & Her Emotions Get in More Trouble in ‘Inside Out 2’ Final Trailer

"The feel everything movie arrives in theaters." What an odd voiceover tagline - in theaters "soon" perhaps? Pixar has debuted their final official trailer for the sequel Inside Out 2, opening in theaters next week. It's finally time for the new Pixar movie! The first look teaser dropped in November last year, introducing us to what'll be going on in this one - with more "emotions" crowding in Riley's mind. "Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she's not really the type to take a back seat." The full Inside Out 2 voice cast also includes Amy Poehler returning as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, and Liza Lapira as Disgust. The other newcomers in Riley's mind include envy (voiced by Ayo Edebiri), ennui (voiced by Adèle Exarchopoulos), and embarrassment (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser). Plus nostalgia, voiced by the great June Squibb, who makes an appearance in here. This looks like it should be tons of fun! Not the best trailer but I'm hoping the movie turns ...
