"Are you having a good time?!" HBO has revealed an official trailer for Ren Faire, a docu series streaming on Max starting in June this summer. Who doesn't love the Renaissance Faire?! This doc series goes even further and builds a narrative around the main characters at the Texas Renaissance Festival. Who will claim the king's throne? A fantastic and farcical succession battle of Shakespearean proportions. Blending verité with fantasy, Ren Faire — a three-part docu-fantasia arriving this summer — invites you behind the curtain of the famed Texas festival to reveal a tense and comical succession drama. Featuring individuals self-styled as Shakespearean characters, the series details an epic power struggle between an actor, a former elephant trainer, and a kettle-corn kingpin – all vying to claim George's throne.

"Let it roll!!" Sony Pictures has debuted a final official trailer for the funny Garfield movie, which is playing in theaters today. They're really hoping this will be a hit with a final marketing push! The Garfield Movie is directed by Mark Dindal, the animation filmmaker also behind The Emperor's New Groove and Chicken Little. The amusing plot has Garfield reuniting with his long-lost father, a scruffy street cat, then ending up involved in a high-stakes heist with him. Starring Chris Pratt as the voice of the sarcastic, lasagna-loving tabby, alongside the voices of Samuel L. Jackson as his father Vic, Nicholas Hoult, Cecily Strong, Hannah Waddingham, Brett Goldstein, Bowen Yang, and Ving Rhames. This new trailer doesn't feature much footage - it's only a clip playing over and over of Garfield with Odie on a robot vacuum going back and forth. That's it. With the "Let It Roll" song made for the movie playing in the background. I get it, but this is such a bad trailer. Nothing funny about this. Just show any actual footage and it would ...

"Baseball is the only game that death is jealous of. Baseball defeats time. Only baseball has the possibility of going on forever." Vertical has revealed an official trailer for an indie dramedy film called Reverse the Curse, a baseball story about a father who loves the Boston Red Sox. It's directed by David Duchovny and also adapted from Duchovny's own book titled "Bucky F*cking Dent", an ode to the bond between father and son. The film follows Ted, aka Mr. Peanut, who moves in with his father Marty when he is diagnosed with lung cancer. To keep him happy and alive, Ted enlists Marty's grief counselor Mariana and friends to fake a Red Sox winning streak using the help of a few pals.
