"It's me and you against the whole wide world." Brainstorm Media along with Signature Ent. have revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled Marmalade, marking the feature directorial debut of actor Keir O'Donnell. It's set for a small theatrical + VOD launch in early February coming up in just a few weeks. The "edge-of-the-seat crime-tinged romance tale" film follows a man in prison who narrates the colorful tale of a romantic bank heist to his cunning cellmate, in order to plot an escape and reunite with the alluring love of his life. His cellmate Otis is a man with a well-versed history of prison breaks, and two try to help reunite Baron with her. Joe Keery stars as Baron, with Aldis Hodge as Otis, and Camila Morrone as Keery's lover Marmalade. This was filmed in & around Minnesota, including in Stillwater. This just makes me want to watch The Shawshank Redemption all over again. Looks like a fun but instantly forgettable crime movie. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Keir O'Donnell's Marmalade, direct from YouTube: Marmalade is an edge-of-the-seat ...

Neon has unveiled their version of the short teaser trailer for the animated film Robot Dreams, which first premiered at the 2023 Cannes & Annecy Film Festivals last year. This film is one of our favorite animated films of 2023, a delightful little tale of friendship and connection in New York City. It's on the shortlist for the Oscars, and might just end up with a nomination for Best Animated Film. Robot Dreams is the first animation film by the award-winning director Pablo Berger (Blancanieves). A story about friendship, its importance, and its fragility. The dialogue-free animated film is based on the popular graphic novel by Sara Varon, about the adventures and misfortunes of Dog and Robot in NYC during the '80s. Dog is lonely so he orders a Robot companion, but then Robot gets stuck in the sand at the beach one day. I wrote a glowing review of this out of Cannes, and Neon picked up the film for US release. There's still no final release date set yet for the US debut - but we hope to ...

"This thing is after me." Gravitas has debuted a trailer for an indie psycholigcal thriller called There is a Monster, set for VOD release later this month. It's the feature debut of a filmmaker named Mike Taylor, who wrote and produced as well. This hasn't played at any film festivals and is getting dumped in January. Here's the pitch: a man is haunted and hunted by a monster that only he can see. If this sounds familiar, it's because this kind of idea has been made plenty of times before, in so many better ways. The monster hovers over him as he sleeps, and it starts to affect him physically. More attacks occur and he blames the monster for his troubles. But his wife and best friend wonder if maybe he's losing his mind. There is a Monster stars Joey Collins, Ena O'Rourke, Jesse Milliner, Marcellus Shepard, Kelly Schwartz, MerryRose Howley, Bill Thomas, Steve Teller, & Tim Nicholson. Sorry to say but - this looks like complete trash. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Mike Taylor's There is a Monster, ...

"She's slaying, He's decaying." Arriving in theaters for Valentine's Day. Focus Features has unveiled their main official trailer for a dark horror comedy titled Lisa Frankenstein. The first teaser from last October was pretty good, this full trailer is even better with more jokes. This is from a new script written by Diablo Cody, directed by the newcomer Zelda Williams. Set in 1989, an unpopular high school girl named Lisa accidentally re-animates a handsome Victorian corpse during a lightning storm and starts to rebuild him into the man of her dreams by using the broken tanning bed in her garage. Yet another spunky new take on Frankenstein, after Birth/Rebirth and The Angry Black Girl & Her Monster last year. Kathryn Newton co-stars as Lisa, with Cole Sprouse as her monster, plus Carla Gugino, Liza Soberano, Joe Chrest, and Henry Eikenberry. This looks like wicked, twisted fun! I really dig the neon colors and vintage vibe. Here's the main official trailer (+ poster) for Zelda Williams' Lisa Frankenstein, direct from YouTube: You can rewatch the teaser trailer for Zelda Williams' Lisa Frankenstein right ...
