Statham and Johnson Back In Fast And Furious Spinoff

By Creative Media Times

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for “Hobbs & Shaw”, a spin-off from The Fast and the Furious series which reunites Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham’s franchise characters Luke Hobbs and Deckard Shaw respectively.

The trailer is full of over-the-top action, some of which veering into superhero territory, with Hobbs and Shaw’s reluctant partnership resulting in comedic conflict while they chase the villain.

That self proclaimed bad guy here is Idris Elba’s Brixton, a criminal mastermind with destructive super human strength. “I’m dealing with the future of the planet. I’m the necessary shock to the system. I am human evolutionary change, bulletproof, superhuman,” says a menacing Brixton.

A trailer debut for a summer movie of this size is probably more suited to drop at the Super Bowl, so he’s hoping we’ll see another cut this weekend.

Directed by “Deadpool 2” director David Leitch, the film co-stars Vanessa Kirby, Roman Reigns and Helen Mirren.

Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw is set for release this summer an August 2, 2019.

“Apollo 11” Trailer Released

By Creative Media Times

Neon

Neon has released stunning new trailer on Monday for “Apollo 11,” giving us a glimpse of the scope and enormity of first moon landing mission.

Directed by Todd Douglas Miller, the 93-minute documentary was screened at this year’s Sundance Film Festival and has been receiving some great reviews.

Billed as a “cinematic space event film fifty years in the making,” the stunning new documentary features never-before-seen archival footage and audio of the historic event.

This would be the second film that reminds the world of that moment in 1969 when American astronaut and aeronautical engineer Neil Armstrong first walked on the moon. Last October, Universal Pictures released the Damien Chazelle directed epic film “First Man”.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of that event. Watch the first trailer for Apollo 11. A release date has yet to be announced.

Efron As Bundy In “Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile”

By Creative Media Times

Voltage Pictures

The film recently premiered at the Sundance Film Festival where the film’s lead Zac Efron is receiving solid reviews for his portrayal of serial killer Ted Bundy.

The thriller biopic continues Efron’s transition from Disney star to leading man roles following last year’s highly successful “The Greatest Showman.”

Lily Collins co-stars as Bundy’s girlfriend Elizabeth Kloepfer, whose perspective is the basis of the film’s story. The two had a troubled turbulent six-year relationship wherein Elizabeth struggled to accept Bundy’s true psychopath nature.

The film’s title does warn us: the trailer is violent and, well, vile, an appropriate treatment given the subject matter but may surprise those unfamiliar with the character and its premise.

Here we see the beginnings of the relationship and the couple’s initial meeting at a bar, then to Bundy’s arrest and then eventually to Elizabeth’s trepidation that there is something diabolical underneath Bundy’s clean cut all-american looks.

There is also plenty of footage of the trial which has led to the Bundy’s infamy, all seemingly mocking the media and public obsession over Bundy’s unlikely killer. “I’m more popular than Disney World,” Bundy says.

Even the casting of Efron is an interesting choice. Whether people are able to get into his character recalls those who bought into Bundy’s image in the 70s and how his charismatic facade plays into the equation.

There is a lot of great talents in “Extremely Wicked,” among them John Malkovich as judge Edward Cowart, Kaya Scodelario as Carole Ann Boone, Haley Joel Osment as Jerry Thompson and Jim Parsons as Larry Simpson.

The film is directed by Emmy-winner Joe Berlinger, whom with Bruce Sinofsky co-helmed the stunning film series “Paradise Lost” which began in 1996, followed by sequels Paradise Lost 2: Revelations in 2000, and Paradise Lost 3: Purgatory in 2011.

“The Boys” Teaser Trailer From Amazon Released

By Creative Media Times

Amazon Video

A new trailer for Amazon Video upcoming superhero tv series “The Boys” has hit the web and its the right combo of weird and awesome.

“Job one is supporting the seven brave heroes who put themselves in harm’s way each and every day for us,” someone says on the trailer, to which “Wee” Hughie Campbell (played by Jack Quaid) explicitly responded to.

Developed by Eric Kripke, Evan Goldberg, and Seth Rogen, “The Boys” is an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson which was originally published in 2006 by DC Comics imprint WildStorm and then later picked up by Dynamite Entertainment.

The trailer is violent and offbeat as one might expect from Ennis, who also serves as one of the executive producers.

There is plenty of talent involved in this, including Karl Urban as Billy Butcher, Elisabeth Shue as Madelyn Stillwell, Erin Moriarty as Annie January / Starlight, Dominique McElligott as Queen Maeve, Jessie Usher as A-Train, Chace Crawford as The Deep, Nathan Mitchell as Black Noir, Laz Alonso as Mother’s Milk, Karen Fukuhara as Female and Tomer Kapon as Frenchie.

“The Boys” is set to be released on Amazon Prime Video sometime in 2019.

See official synopsis below:

In a world where superheroes embrace the darker side of their massive celebrity and fame, The Boys centers on a group of vigilantes known informally as “The Boys,” who set out to take down corrupt superheroes with no more than their blue-collar grit and a willingness to fight dirty. THE BOYS is a fun and irreverent take on what happens when superheroes – who are as popular as celebrities, as influential as politicians and as revered as Gods – abuse their superpowers rather than use them for good. It’s the powerless against the super powerful as The Boys embark on a heroic quest to expose the truth about “The Seven,” and Vought – the multi-billion dollar conglomerate that manages these superheroes. THE BOYS is scheduled for a 2019 release.

“High Life” Trailer: Robert Pattinson Travel Through Space

By Creative Media Times

A24

“The sensation of moving backwards… even though we’re moving forwards…getting further from what’s nearer.”

That’s Robert Pattinson’s Monte in the disturbing and mind-bending trailer for director Claire Denis’ upcoming science fiction film “High Life.”

The film features Juliette Binoche, a mad scientist specializing in bodily fluids, with Pattison Mia Goth, and André Benjamin.

They are a group of criminals condemned to life in an intergalactic space prison, lured into a mission to travel towards the black hole to search for alternative energy source, and which also involves human experimentation. That said, the film looks mysterious and intriguing and possibly better experienced with little knowledge of the plot.

This is the legendary French director’s first English language film, which reunites her with Juliette Binoche. The two worked together last year in the romantic comedy-drama “Let the Sunshine In.”

Denis wrote the film with Jean-Pol Fargeau and Geoff Cox. It had its world premiere last September at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.

“High Life” is currently scheduled for release in theaters on April 2019.

In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).
