Full Trailer for Renate Reinsve’s ‘Armand’ School Thriller from Norway

"I need you to realize the gravity of the situation." IFC Films has unveiled the official trailer for Armand, a Norwegian film marking the feature directorial debut of Norwegian filmmaker Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel - who is Ingmar Bergman's grandson. This initially premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, and played at tons of other festivals throughout last year (teaser here). The film is set to hit US theaters in February just after the Oscar nominations (on January 17th) since it was submitted by Norway for this year. It "sheds light on a complex theme from constantly new perspectives, surprising & touching its audience with creative portrayals of the main characters’ emotional journeys." Elisabeth is summoned to a parent-teacher meeting on short notice. Her son is accused of something, but what that "something" is, remains unclear. Soon, the principal, nurse, and more parents join a meeting that quickly spirals out of control. The film stars Renate Reinsve, Ellen Dorrit Petersen, Thea Lambrechts Vaulen, Endre Hellestveit, Øystein Røger, & Vera Veljovic. Similar to Germany's The Teachers' Lounge. A very intriguing, distinct trailer - check it out. Here's the official US trailer (+ poster) for Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel's film Armand, from IFC's YouTube: […]

Barry Keoghan & Christopher Abbott in ‘Bring Them Down’ Full Trailer

"I told you to kill them." Mubi has debuted the full official trailer for Bring Them Down, an Irish thriller about rival families. This initially premiered at the TIFF & Fantastic Fest & London Film Festivals last year, now set for a US debut in February. An Irish shepherding family thrust into battle on several fronts: internal strife, hostility within the family, rivalry with another farmer. Paternalism, heritage, and the generational trauma cycle through the cultural prism of Ireland. TIFF adds: "Bring Them Down bristles with twists and tension, its gorgeous pastoral landscapes turning into sites of escalating violence. Yet the film never settles for simplistic hero/villain binaries. Instead, brilliantly shifts perspective, revealing the fears and aspirations driving all its characters — a strategy that succeeds in no small part due to Abbott and Keoghan, who share an incredible ability to reveal for the camera what their characters are hell-bent on hiding." Starring Barry Keoghan, Christopher Abbott, Colm Meaney, Nora-Jane Noone, Paul Ready, Aaron Heffernan, and Susan Lynch. This one actually looks quite good - a riveting thriller from Ireland that's worth a watch. Here's the main official trailer for Chris Andrews' film Bring Them Down, direct from Mubi's YouTube: […]

Milla Jovovich & Dave Bautista in ‘In the Lost Lands’ Adventure Trailer

"Her power grows stronger by the day." Vertical has revealed the first official trailer for a new fantasy action adventure movie called In the Lost Lands, a collaboration between filmmaker Paul W.S. Anderson (yep he's still making more movies) and writer George R.R. Martin. A queen, desperate to find happiness in love, takes a daring step: she sends the powerful and feared witch Gray Alys to the "Lost Lands" to give her the magical gift of turning into a werewolf. She's joined by the mysterious hunter Boyce, fighting against dark creatures and merciless enemies, roaming an eerie and dangerous world. So it's climate change future but also has fantastical creatures galore? Starring Milla Jovovich as Gray Alys, Dave Bautista as Boyce, with Arly Jover, Amara Okereke, Fraser James, Simon Lööf, and Deirdre Mullins. This is set for a theatrical release this March but it doesn't seem like it will make much of a splash, despite it being another big, spectacular George R.R. Martin adventure story. This looks like such a wacky mashup of styles & ideas with excessive VFX shots - everything you'd expect from another W.S. Anderson movie. Enjoy? If you can... Here's the first trailer (+ poster) for […]
