WyldeMan wrote:I think Gallner was typecast a long time ago and was never able to break away from it. 

Twenty years ago, the first thing I ever saw him in was Veronica Mars and his character was a high school student who turned out to be a total psychopath that murdered an entire bus of his fellow students and then jumped off a building with a big smile on his face, so he's always played the exact same kind of characters with the sole exception being his best role in the short lived series The Outsiders. I haven't really been interested in any of his movies in two decades but I still like the guy.

I first saw him in Smallville but anything after that was as you described. I think I saw him as a school shooter for something once too. Nonetheless, the trailers I posted look good. Check them out and let me know.

UltimateMarvel wrote:All three movies I posted happen to be out right now. I will check them out next weekend probably.

Not sure if this was posted yet:

I like Jon Hamm but not when he's been the star of the movie; The Town, Baby Driver and Bad Times at El Royale are good examples of him working well in an ensemble surrounded by other strong actors but I am drawing a complete and total blank if I've ever enjoyed a single movie that he had top billing in. 

Hamm seems like a once promising tv actor who failed in transitioning from his massive tv show to a successful movie career like so many others before him. Very few actors are actually able to pull it off and unless something changes, it would seem that Hamm will continue down the SVOD path and with it, any chance of me watching his work again.

Have you ever seen a Hamm movie and afterwards felt compelled to recommend it? Because I can't think of a single time where that happened here but feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Rusty wrote:That's the problem with bringing such a fantastic TV character like Don Draper to life in something as great as Mad Men. I just finished a rewatch of that two days ago, and I can't even pretend to imagine someone else coming close to his effort. He'll never be able to shake that. As you say though, ensemble casts help. Same as his movies. He's great in smaller roles, and even ensembles like Tag, but to be honest I haven't scene him in anything where he was the dfinitive lead. I do want to check out Confess, Fletch though. It's suppose to pretty decent.

Netflix on Tuesday dropped the teaser trailer for The Killer, David Fincher’s new movie for Netflix that has its world premiere Sunday in the Competition lineup at the Venice Film Festival. It then hits theaters on October 27 and launches on the streamer November 10.

The pic, based on Alexis Nolent (pen name: Matz) and Luc Jacamon’s graphic novel series, stars Michael Fassbender and is Fincher’s first feature since 2020’s Mank, also for Netflix, which scored 10 Oscar noms including Best Picture and won two.

Fassbender plays an assassin who battles his employers, and himself, on an international manhunt while insisting none of it is personal. Charles Parnell, Arliss Howard, Sophie Charlotte and Tilda Swinton also star. Andrew Kevin Walker adapted the graphic novel, which debuted in French via Casterman and was published in the U.S. by Archaia Studios Press in 10 volumes from 2006-2009.

Walker and Fincher previously collaborated on Se7en, Fincher’s twisty 1995 genre thriller hit that starred Brad Pitt, Morgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey.

UltimateMarvel wrote:Trailer doesn't reveal a lot and it looks very good. Good to see Fassbender on screen again.

Let the wrestling mayhem begin: A24 has released the first trailer for The Iron Claw, the true story of the Von Erichs, a family of pro wrestlers that has ruled the ring for decades, despite so many tragedies that fans have often talked of a Von Erich Curse.

A bulked up Zac Efron and Jeremy Allen White star as brothers Kevin and Kerry Von Erich, two of the clan’s most popular wrestlers. The new trailer – set, forebodingly, to the tune of Blue Öyster Cult’s “(Don’t Fear) The Reaper” – shows the brothers’ camaraderie in the face of wrestling opponents and their own bullying father Fritz Von Erich (Holt McCallany).

Also appearing in the film are Harris Dickinson as David Von Erich, Stanley Simons as Mike Von Erich, Maura Tierney as Doris and Lily James as Kevin’s wife, Pam. The Iron Claw is written and directed by Sean Durkin (The Nest and Martha Marcy May Marlene).

The movie was developed by House Productions, with the support of Access Entertainment and BBC Films, with A24 producing with Tessa Ross, Juliette Howell, Angus Lamont from House Productions and Sean Durkin.

The Iron Claw opens in theaters Dec. 22. Check out the trailer above.

From Director Rose Glass comes an electric new love story; reclusive gym manager Lou falls hard for Jackie, an ambitious bodybuilder headed through town to Vegas in pursuit of her dream. But their love ignites violence, pulling them deep into the web of Lou’s criminal family.

What are your thoughts on ripped women? I think some muscle on a woman can be sexy but up to a certain point.

Get ready to meet sweet little Abigail - a "brash, blood-thirsty new vision of the vampire flick" from Radio Silence aka Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett (Ready or Not, Scream and last year’s Scream VI)

Starring Scream queen Melissa Barrera, Dan Stevens (Gaslit, Legion), Kathryn Newton (Freaky), Giancarlo Esposito (Breaking Bad, the upcoming Maxxxine), William Catlett (Black Lightning, True Story), Kevin Durand (Resident Evil: Retribution), Angus Cloud (Euphoria), and Alisha Weir (Roald Dahl’s Matilda the Musical, Darklands) as the titular Abigail, an official plot synopsis reads:

   After a group of would-be criminals kidnap the 12-year-old ballerina daughter of a powerful underworld figure, all they have to do to collect a $50 million ransom is watch the girl overnight. In an isolated mansion, the captors start to dwindle, one by one, and they discover, to their mounting horror, that they’re locked inside with no normal little girl.

Written by Stephen Shields and Guy Busick, Abigail looks set to be another Radio Silence smash hit. A Ready or Not style mansion, excellent cast, and bloodthirsty ballerina...what's not to love?!

Abigail hits theaters on April 19 - check out the trailer and brand new poster.

Today brings a brand new teaser for Lionsgate and Blumhouse's mysterious upcoming horror Imaginary, one that gives us a closer look at the adorable, fuzzy Chauncey the Bear - who is definitely not imaginary, and definitely not your friend.

Imaginary, which comes from director Jeff Wadlow (Cry Wolf, Kick-Ass 2, Truth or Dare), stars Jurassic World Dominion's DeWanda Wise (who is also onboard as producer), Tom Payne, Taegen Burns, Pyper Braun, Veronica Falcon, and Betty Buckley.

The plot synopsis reads:

   “Jessica moves back into her childhood home with her family. Her youngest stepdaughter Alice develops an eerie attachment to a stuffed bear named Chauncey she finds in the basement. Alice starts playing games with Chauncey that begin playful and become increasingly sinister. As Alice’s behavior becomes more and more concerning, Jessica intervenes only to realize Chauncey is much more than the stuffed toy bear she believed him to be.”

In this teaser, Chauncey gets his own kiddie commercial (not too dissimilar to M3GAN's - crossover incoming?), promising that he can be anything you want him to be - he can grow, he can shrink... and apparently he'll follow you around the house. What a cutie!

Wadlow, who also wrote the screenplay with Greg Erb and Jason Oremland, will produce as well as direct, with - of course - Jason Blum also in the producer's chair and Ryan Turek on executive producing duties.

Imaginary hits theaters on March 8, 2024 - don't forget your teddy

Why isn’t this movie called Sharks on a Plane, you may be wondering? Well, despite a silly-sounding premise, it actually looks like No Way Up is a legit shark attack horror movie.

RLJE Films will release No Way Up in theaters and everywhere you rent movies February 16, and the new trailer this week suggests it’s not as “SYFY Original” as it may seem.

This one comes courtesy of the producers of 47 Meters Down, and it looks like they’re aiming to recapture that vibe. Watch the new official trailer above for No Way Up.

Additionally, No Way Up has received an official “R” rating from the MPA this week. The upcoming horror movie is rated “R” for “language and bloody/grisly images.”

In No Way Up…

“When a plane crashes in the Pacific Ocean and comes to rest on the edge of an underwater ravine, the survivors face a race against time to escape the airlocked galley they are trapped in.”

Sophia McIntosh, Colm Meaney, Phyllis Logan, Grace Nettle and Will Attenborough star.

Claudio Fäh directed the film, which was written by Andy Mayson.

Other upcoming shark attack horrors on our radar include the Japanese movie Hot Springs Shark Attack, 1940s period piece Fear Below, and the World War II-set Beast of War.

Speaking of sharks, The Meg and The Meg 2 are both now streaming on Netflix.

Rusty wrote:Abigail looks good. Nice cast too.

Johnson wrote and directed the movie in addition to starring as Tommy, a man who is offered $1 million to play a game in which he must outwit hunters as they attempt to kill him. He thinks he has found the perfect loophole because he can only be attacked when he’s alone. The only problem is that none of his friends or family want to keep him company because they don’t believe the game is real. Andy Samberg, Anna Kendrick, Natalie Morales (“Parks and Recreation”), Emily Hampshire (“Schitt’s Creek”) and Wayne Brady (“How I Met Your Mother”) round out the cast.

Netflix has dropped a teaser trailer for “Supersex,” the series freely inspired by the real life of global porn star Rocco Siffredi, which will world premiere at the Berlin Film Festival and drop March 6 on the streamer.

“Every power is an enigma. It can give you light, or throw you into darkness. But every existence lived to its fullest always has a price to pay,” a voiceover says in the teaser as Siffredi is bombarded by fans and paparazzi.

The show looks at how “Rocco Tano — a simple guy from Ortona [a small town in central Italy] — became Rocco Siffredi, the most famous pornstar in the world,” according to its official synopsis.

The hotly anticipated series is created and written by prominent Italian screenwriter Francesca Manieri (“We Are Who We Are,” “L’Immensità”), who is known for her feminist works.

At the center of “Supersex” – which is produced by Lorenzo Mieli’s The Apartment, a Fremantle company, and Groenlandia, which is part of the Banijay group – are real and fictional aspects of the life of the Italian porn star, played by Italian A-lister Alessandro Borghi (“The Eight Mountains”).

Alongside Borghi as Siffredi, the show features Jasmine Trinca (“Honey”), who plays Lucia, a fictional female character “who represents a synthesis of most women with whom Rocco had a relationship in his life,” according to the synopsis. Adriano Giannini (“Adagio”) plays Tommaso, Rocco’s half-brother, while Saul Nanni (“Love & Gelato”) plays Rocco as a young man. Other cast members include Enrico Borello, Vincenzo Nemolato, Gaia Messerklinger as female Italian porn star Moana Pozzi, Jade Pedri and Linda Caridi (“Last Night of Amore”).

UltimateMarvel wrote:Abigail - good trailer and interesting concept.

Imaginary - looks ok.

Self Reliance - seems funny and original.

Supersex - Rocco Siffredi, this guy fucks. But nobody cares about male porn stars.

WyldeMan wrote:The trailer for Abigail made me think I should just watch M3GAN for a second time.

WyldeMan wrote:Male porn stars are just faceless stunt cocks, that's why most porn has gone POV. They don't even bother showing the dudes from the abs up anymore. Still it's nice to see that Netflix will never rise above shameless sexploitation in the age of social justice warriors.

WyldeMan wrote:They get paid in cash plus pussy benefits, so I can't feel sorry for the under paid male porn stars.

UltimateMarvel wrote:Come on, give them some credit. Just saw that they also directed Ready or Not. They've had a good track the past 3 movies.

WyldeMan wrote:I only liked Ready or Not because I always like Samara Weaving but that movie was a major reshash of so many other movies that came before it and it's not one I'd watch more than once or twice a decade at most. The last two Screams were the worst of the franchise and I'd prefer if those unoriginal whores just stopped making movies.

I would agree with that comparison.

The first trailer dropped Thursday for Road House, the reimagining of the ’80s Patrick Swayze tough-guy classic that sees Jake Gyllenhaal in the lead role and Doug Liman directing.

The reveal comes the day after Liman revealed on Deadline that he was boycotting the film’s world premiere at SXSW– it has been slated to be the opening-night film in Austin on March 8. The director, who calls the pic possibly the best work he has done, said distributor Amazon MGM Studios did not fulfill a pledge to give the actioner a theatrical release.

Today, the company said Road House will stream globally on Prime Video only beginning March 21.

Along with Gyllenhaal playing UFC fighter-turned Florida Keys roadhouse bouncer Elwood Dalton, the cast features Daniela Melchior, Billy Magnussen, Jessica Williams, Joaquim de Almedia, McGregor, Lukas Gage, Arturo Castro, B.K. Cannon, Beau Knapp and Darren Barnet.

The plot revolves around a down-on-his-luck UFC fighter hired as the bouncer at a rowdy Keys roadhouse that is being threatened by baddies wanting to shut it down to build a mega-resort, with their own muscle Knox (McGregor) front and center.

Liman directed a script by Anthony Bagarozzi, Charles Mondry based on David Lee Henry and Hilary Henkin’s original screenplay. The story comes from Bagarozzi, Mondry and Henry.

‘Road House’ Trailer: Jake Gyllenhaal & Conor McGregor Come Out Swinging

HOLY FUCK!!!! How is this real?!?!?!?!

Stephen Amell and Emily Bett Rickards reunite on-screen for the very first time since Arrow‘s series finale — which aired almost exactly four years ago — in the trailer for Calamity Jane, a film due to hit theaters and digital on Friday, Feb. 2.

The premise for this trip to the Old West: After Wild Bill Hickok (played by Amell) is killed in a poker game, Calamity Jane (Rickards) must break out of prison and seek revenge.

Alas, Calamity Jane’s quest is hindered by Deadwood’s Sheriff Mason (Wynonna Earp‘s Tim Rozon), who is out to detain and arrest her.

UltimateMarvel wrote:Road House looks great and definitely a watch for me.

Calamity Jane looks like a joke or something.

I like Dev Patel and surprised that he's directing this. I don't think he's done action before and this looks amazing.

WyldeMan wrote:Road House might have been accepted by the masses had they not called it Road House and tried to pretend they were even making the same movie. Alas, it will be a failure and Amazon knows this which is why they aren't even going to give it a theatrical run which has pissed off Gyllenhaal and Doug Liman who feel entitled to one. I've seen the original movie over 100 times in my life, I know it back to front and word for word and absolutely nothing about this new trailer made me feel like I was watching the same movie or even an homage to the original. Yet another pass in the Gyllenhaal catalog for me.

WyldeMan wrote:Calamity Jane's production levels are so cheap looking that it legitimacy just looks like Oliver and Felicity are jumping through time again. That's some cheap ass CW Vancouver bullshit. But if that trailer isn't all the proof you need that Emily Bett Rickards is a shit actress with as much range as a piece of paper and the depth of a parking lot puddle. I for one will not contribute my time or money to her abysmal career, enjoy your steep decline to the Hallmark channel honey.

WyldeMan wrote:About a year ago I remember discussing Dev Patel and how I had never seen him in anything that made me feel like he could be a compelling actor but that Monkey Man trailer was a revelation. I had absolutely no interest in seeing it before the trailer and now it's on my Must See 2024 list.

It looks like it. I didn't even know he had these coming, thought he was just focused on Warhammer.

Guy also has a series coming out on Netflix, not sure if this was posted.

That looks weird but good.  I pay attention to any dumb movie that Sandler is not doing because he's great when he wants to be.
