US Trailer for French Dramedy ‘Rose’ Starring Françoise Fabian as Rose

"What's the point of pampering myself at my age?" Cohen Media Group has unveiled an official US trailer for an indie French film called Rose, which is finally getting a US release this winter. It originally premiered way back in 2021 at the Locarno Film Festival where it won an award - but hasn't even been released in the last 4 years. It most recently played at as the Closing Night Film at Lincoln Center's New York Jewish Film Festival. Directed by musician and actress Aurélie Saada, this is her feature directorial debut. When Rose, 78, loses her husband, her grief inspires her to live as fully as possible and go out and pamper herself again. Her children disapprove, forcing them all to confront what it means to redefine oneself later in life. The film is described as being similar to Thelma or Driving Madeleine - they're "emotionally moving and powerful, filled with laughter, tears and smiles throughout." This stars Françoise Fabian as the titular Rose, with Aure Atika, Grégory Montel, Damien Chapelle, Mehdi Nebbou, and Pascal Elbé. Get a look below. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Aurélie Saada's film Rose, direct from CMG's YouTube: Starring Award […]

Watch: Adam Savage Geeks Out Over a ‘Fifth Element’ Mondoshawan

"All I wanna do is get in this thing...!" Holy Mondoshawan! Awesome! I want one. Adam Savage's Tested YouTube channel has posted their latest video - an in-depth examination of one of the most incredible sci-fi movie creations. While on a visit to the UK, Adam stopped by Propstore's UK headquarters - where he geeks out over a full-size, completely intact Mondoshawan costume from Luc Besson's The Fifth Element. Much like Adam, Fifth Element is one of my all-time favorites and shows up in my Letterboxd Top 4 picks often. These Mondoshawan alien creatures are some of my favorite designs ever – especially because they're these big, lumbering mechanical things yet are also the philosophical, wise rulers of the universe (who help guide Korben and Leeloo on their journey to save Earth). Apparently this was actually piloted by someone inside of the suit, and Adam dives into the mechanics of how it works and the construction of it. I love seeing these kind of geeky videos - and this one is a must watch everyone who loves science fiction as much as us. Enjoy. Thanks to Twitter for the tip on this video. Original intro from YouTube: "In our final stop […]

Sophie Thatcher & Jack Quaid in Sci-Fi Horror ‘Companion’ Full Trailer

"Shut her down already!" Whoa what the hell is going on in this?! Another robot on the loose? Warner Bros has debuted the main official trailer for Companion, a new horror thriller "love story" arriving in theaters in January 2025 at the end of the month. They're still setting this up to be the next new M3gan of the early 2025 season - in more ways than one. "You are cordially invited to experience a new kind of love story." This is produced by the team behind Barbarian, but comes from a director making his first feature film. Starring Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid, Lukas Gage, Megan Suri, Harvey Guillén, with Rupert Friend. Companion is a sci-fi horror movie about a robotic female companion that also might still be human? Or that's what it seems like from this trailer. It's also packed with rave review quotes from critics who got to see an early screening of this last year. I'm in! Gotta see what kind of madness they've been cooking up in here. Here's the full official trailer (+ poster) for Drew Hancock's horror Companion, direct from YouTube: You can watch the teaser trailer for Drew Hancock's Companion horror right […]
