Paramount Pictures

Maverick is set to return to theaters and to the cockpit in next summer’s Top Gun: Maverick, and today Paramount Picture has unveiled a new trailer that fully embraces original’s thrills and nostalgia.

Cruise looks very much in his element, understandably given the role and the 1986 original literally put him on top of Hollywood. This sequel picks up decades after that film.

The new trailer didn’t completely reveal the film’s plot, but we do know now that this time around Pete “Maverick” Mitchell is back to the naval school as a captain teaching aviation and the tricks of the trade.

Miles Teller is also in the film as pilot trainee Bradley “Rooster” Bradshaw, the son of Nick “Goose” Bradshaw, Maverick’s late friend.

“His exploits are legendary. What he has to teach you may very well mean the difference between life and death,” we hear in the new clip.

The new trailer is also heavy on action, featuring some heart-pounding and hyper realistic air combat, and shots of fighter jets leaving trails of smoke as they spinning through the skies, a factor that made the original a classic and inspired a generation of aviators.

Fans of the original should recognize a version of “Top Gun Anthem” playing the background. The iconic instrumental theme for the 1986 film, which was in the original film’s best-selling soundtrack, was composed by Harold Faltermeyer & Steve Stevens. It eventually won Best Pop Instrumental Performance at 1987 Grammy Awards.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski, the film co-stars Miles Teller, Jennifer Connelly, Jon Hamm, Glen Powell, Lewis Pullman, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer who will reprise his role as Vice Admiral Tom “Iceman” Kazansky.

The film co-stars Jennifer Connelly, Glen Powell, Jon Hamm, Ed Harris, and Val Kilmer reprising his role as Iceman.

Directed by Joseph Kosinski (Tron: Legacy, Oblivion), “Top Gun: Maverick” is set to hit theaters on June 26, 2020.

The first trailer for “Promising Young Woman” was released on Wednesday, and is causing quite a stir almost immediately, racking up a million views on YouTube by Friday.

The drama thriller features Carey Mulligan as Cassie, a woman who seeks revenge on predators in local bars by pretending to be drunk to see if a “nice guy” would rescue her. But once the men take her home, she becomes sober, and things get very interesting.

“Every week, I go to a club,” Mulligan says in the trailer. “I act like I’m too drunk to stand. And every week a nice guy comes over to see if I’m okay.”

Written and directed by Killing Eve’s season-two showrunner and The Crown’s Young Camilla Emerald Fennell in her directorial debut, “Promising Young Woman” is billed by Focus Features as “a delicious new take on revenge.”

Promising Young Woman is set for release in theaters this April. Watch the trailer below.

Here’s what Focus Features says about the film:
Everyone said Cassie (Carey Mulligan) was a promising young woman… until a mysterious event abruptly derailed her future. But nothing in Cassie’s life is what it appears to be: she’s wickedly smart, tantalizingly cunning, and she’s living a secret double life by night. Now, an unexpected encounter is about to give Cassie a chance to right the wrongs of the past in this thrilling and wildly entertaining story.

Some would also remember him as Madonna’s father in “Papa Don’t Preach” video, which was shot on Staten Island. Aiello himself is a musician, having released his first single in March of 2004, “All of Me”, and a few albums such as I Just Wanted to Hear The Words (2004), Live from Atlantic City (2008), and My Christmas Song for You (2010).

The distribution deal for Go Back to China was negotiated by Tony Piantedosi, Vice President of Acquisitions at Gravitas, and Eric Sloss of Cinetic Media on behalf of the filmmakers.

Here’s the film’s synopsis:

The semi-autobiographical film follows Sasha Li, a spoiled rich girl (played by YouTube star Anna Akana) who after blowing through most of her trust fund, is forced by her father to go back to China and work for the family toy business. What begins simply as a way to regain financial support soon develops into a life altering journey of self discovery, as she learns the business from the ground up and reconnects with her estranged family in the process. Hilarious and heartfelt, the film offers an honest look at the human cost of things that are made in China.

IFC Films

Written and directed by Carlo Mirabella-Davis, the film was an official selection at the 2019 Tribeca Film Festival where it won Best Actress in a U.S. Narrative Feature Film

Starring Haley Bennett, Sautin Stowell, Elizabeth Marvel, David Rasche and Denis O’Hare, the film is set for release on March 6, 2020 in select theaters and on demand.

Here’s more about the film:

On the surface, Hunter (Haley Bennett) appears to have it all. A newly pregnant housewife, she seems content to spend her time tending to an immaculate home and doting on her Ken-doll husband, Richie (Austin Stowell). However, as the pressure to meet her controlling in-laws and husband’s rigid expectations mounts, cracks begin to appear in her carefully created facade. Hunter develops a dangerous habit, and a dark secret from her past seeps out in the form of a disorder called pica – a condition that has her compulsively swallowing inedible, and oftentimes life-threatening, objects. A provocative and squirm-inducing psychological thriller, SWALLOW follows one woman’s unraveling as she struggles to reclaim independence in the face of an oppressive system by whatever means possible.

By Creative Media Times

Warner Bros.

Warner Bros. has announced on Wednesday that “The Flash” is set to be released on July 1, 2022.

Ezra Miller is reprising the role which debuted in Zack Snyder‘s Batman vs. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and then returned in Justice League. The director of the “It” movies, Andy Muschietti, is currently attached to direct.

Along with the Flash’s new release date, the satudio also announced the release date for its highly-anticipated Matrix 4. The currently untitled film is set for release on May 21, 2121. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss are currently expected to return for the fourth “Matrix” as well as series co-creator Lana Wachowski.

The Flash movie has had a long road to development since first being announced in 2014. Though Ezra Miller has since been hopeful of the film’s eventual release, things got a bit uncertain after Justice League somewhat underperformed at the boxoffice in 2017.

The Flash joins the list of films that the studio is developing as part of the DC Universe, joining next year’s Birds of Prey (set for release on February 7, 2020), Wonder Woman 1984 (June 5, 2020), then the following year with The Batman (June 5, 2021), The Suicide Squad (August 6, 2021) and Black Adam (December 22, 2021), while Aquaman 2 arrives on the same year as The Flash (currently dated for release on December 16).
