Daisy Ridley is Swimmer Trudy Ederle in ‘Young Woman and the Sea’

"C'mon girl, kick your feet!" Disney has revealed an official trailer for their summer movie Young Woman and the Sea, based on the true story of the first woman to ever swim across the English Channel. It's set to open at the end of May and we've been waiting to finally see a trailer. "21 miles and a nice day for a swim." Daisy Ridley stars as Trudy Ederle, an American woman who grew up in Manhattan and learned to swim in New Jersey. After winning a gold medal at the 1924 Summer Olympics in Paris, she eventually made the incredible English Channel swim from France to England in 1926 at the age of 20. This also co-stars Tilda Cobham-Hervey, Stephen Graham, Kim Bodnia, Christopher Eccleston, and Glenn Fleshler. It's directed by Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Rønning (of Kon-Tiki and Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales), adapted from Glenn Stout's book, and produced by the Jerry Bruckheimer, making it a major Disney release arriving this summer. This is fantastic trailer, the score in it almost makes it seem ...

New 2024 Trailer for Rideshare Horror ‘The Stranger’ w/ Maika Monroe

"You wanna know how this ends?" Hulu has revealed an official trailer for an intense horror thriller titled The Stranger, arriving for streaming this month. Not to be confused with the British series The Stranger, or the Australian crime film The Stranger. Some of you may recognize this, it was initially conceived as an hour-by-hour series for the app Quibi. After that app went under, it's been re-edited and reset for release as a feature film streaming on Hulu, but without much fanfare. Maika Monroe stars as a recent transplant to the Los Angeles Valley scraping by as a rideshare driver. One night, she picks up Carl at a Hollywood Hills Mansion. He appears pleasant at first, but that facade is shattered when he reveals himself to be a violent, misogynistic murderer. There have been a few other rideshare horror recently including Spree and Ride. Co-starring Dane DeHaan and Avan Jogia. This still doesn't look very good and this trailer is way too short. Here's the new official trailer (+ teaser poster) for Veena Sud's The Stranger, direct from YouTube: Starring breakout ...

Aaron Eckhart & Olga Kurylenko in Action Film ‘Chief of Station’ Trailer

"You once asked me to work for you, now I'm asking you to work for me." Vertical has revealed the official trailer for another Jesse V. Johnson-directed action thriller film titled Chief of Station, which means you can pretty much ignore this right away and skip it entirely. Unless this kind of bland action is your jam. The trailer below is free to watch at least (Johnson also directed the Boudica movie last year). This one drops on VOD to watch in early May. After learning the untimely death of his wife was not accidental, a former CIA Station Chief is forced back into the espionage underworld in Eastern Europe, teaming up with an adversary to unravel a conspiracy that challenges everything he thought he knew. Aaron Eckhart stars as Ben, along with Alex Pettyfer, Olga Kurylenko, Nick Moran, Chris Petrovski, Daniel Bernhardt, Laetitia Eido, James Faulkner, Isobel Wood, and Nina Bergman. Looks like it has some brutal, heavy-hitting hand-to-hand combat, though I'm not sure it offers much else. Only worth a watch if you're an Eckhart fan. Here's the official ...

Hollywood Triples Down on Sequels, Remakes and Reboots

There’s a good reason movie studios can’t stop making sequels to popular films. Return on Investment. Or, at the very least, they’re less risky than original stories. Just ask the minds behind 2023’s well-regarded thriller “The Creator” how that works. That explains the flood of new movie projects announced this week. Sequels. Prequels. Reboots. It’s …
