The film is a clear departure from his previous film “Call Me by Your Name” received accolades and widespread acclaim. Also interesting to note: Thom Yorke, Radiohead singer and songwriter composed the film’s score.

Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures

The new film picks up six years later, with Ralph and Vanellope going into an adventure on the internet, to find a part to save Vanellope’s game Sugar Rush.

The highlight of the trailer comes in the end where Vanellope, revealed in the first film to be a princess herself, encounters famed Disney princesses and argues with them that she is one too.

John C. Reilly returns as the voice of the titular character, a gigantic but soft-hearted man and villain of the fictional arcade game Fix-It Felix Jr. The original was a bit hit for Walt Disney Pictures, grossing $471.2 million worldwide in 2012.

Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2 features the voices of Sarah Silverman as Vanellope von Schweetz, Jack McBrayer as Fix-It Felix, Jr., Jane Lynch as Sergeant Calhoun and Taraji P. Henson as Yesss.

“Corrupt judges. Dirty cops. What do I want? I want justice,” says Garner’s character Riley North in the trailer.

“Peppermint” looks like the long-overdue return to form for Garner, who played CIA officer Sydney Bristow in the ABC action thriller Alias, which was created by Star Wars: The Force Awakens director J. J. Abrams. Alias successfully aired from 2001 to 2006 and turned Garner into a star.

Garner looks in full action-mode here, and could easily give Liam Neeson a run for his money. Speaking of, “Peppermint” is directed by Pierre Morel, who helmed “Taken” which turned Neeson into a bona fire action star.

Also in the film are John Gallagher, John Ortiz, and Method Man. STX and Lakeshore Entertainment is set to release Peppermint on Sept. 7.

Here is the film’s official synopsis for:

“PEPPERMINT is an action thriller which tells the story of young mother Riley North (Garner) who awakens from a coma after her husband and daughter are killed in a brutal attack on the family. When the system frustratingly shields the murderers from justice, Riley sets out to transform herself from citizen to urban guerilla. Channeling her frustration into personal motivation, she spends years in hiding honing her mind, body and spirit to become an unstoppable force – eluding the underworld, the LAPD and the FBI- as she methodically delivers her personal brand of justice.”

Universal Pictures

The film reunites Johnson with his “Central Intelligence” director Rawson Marshall Thurber who also wrote the film. Johnson plays Will Ford, a former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader, who now assesses security for skyscrapers after having a leg amputated.

The action star is having a great year with two certified hits released during the last six months: “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” and “Rampage” proving he is the world’s biggest movie-star. And with Skyscraper’s “Die Hard” meets “Towering Inferno” vibe, it looks he’s its right in his wheelhouse.

Skyscaper, which also stars Neve Campbell, Chin Han, and Roland Møller and is set to open on July 13th.

Here’s the film’s synopsis:

Global icon Dwayne Johnson leads the cast of Legendary’s Skyscraper as former FBI Hostage Rescue Team leader and U.S. war veteran Will Sawyer, who now assesses security for skyscrapers. On assignment in China he finds the tallest, safest building in the world suddenly ablaze, and he’s been framed for it. A wanted man on the run, Will must find those responsible, clear his name and somehow rescue his family who is trapped inside the building…above the fire line.

Warner Bros. Pictures

Warner Bros. has released the first trailer for Andy Serkis’ upcoming live-action adventure fantasy film “Mowgli,” and it looks spectacular.

An adaptation of Ruyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, the film follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli (Rohan Chand) who was raised by a pack of wolves in the jungles of India.

Rohan Chand is the titular character while Serkis plays Baloo. They are joined by Cate Blanchett as Kaa, Christian Bale as Bagheera, Matthew Rhys as John Lockwood, and Benedict Cumberbatch who plays fearsome tiger Shere Khan, the main antagonist in the book.

Based on the trailer, it certainly looks like a darker and serious version when compared to the Disney adaptation released in 2016, just as Serkis originally stated in his interview with Vulture two years ago. The film was rated PG-13 by MPAA earlier this year.

Directed by Andy Serkis from the screenplay by Callie Kloves, “Mowgli” hits theaters on October 19, 2018.

Here is the synopsis for the film:

“The story follows the upbringing of the human child Mowgli, raised by a wolf pack in the jungles of India. As he learns the often harsh rules of the jungle, under the tutelage of a bear named Baloo and a panther named Bagheera, Mowgli becomes accepted by the animals of the jungle as one of their own. All but one: the fearsome tiger Shere Khan. But there may be greater dangers lurking in the jungle, as Mowgli comes face to face with his human origins.”

“What’s done is done when we say it’s done,” says Ethan Hunt in the latest trailer for “Mission: Impossible – Fallout”.

Paramount Pictures

We also get to see more of Cruise’s Hunt in fights with mustached Cavill as brutal assassin August Walker. It is an interesting dynamics, where Cruise is on the run once again while Cavill keeps him on his toes and has shoot to kill orders if Hunt goes rogue.

Some might remember that Cruise broke his ankle during filming after a dangerous stunt gone awry where the actor leaped from one building to another. The injury shut down the film’s production for more than two months to allow the actor’s injury to heal. Its right here on the trailer, and certainly makes the footage more intense.

The Mission: Impossible film franchise is one of the most successful of all-time, with a worldwide gross of over $2.7 billion to date. Judging by these new promotional materials, the film seem set to deliver some more crazy action this summer.

Franchise regulars Michelle Monaghan, Simon Pegg, and Ving Rhames are back as well as Rebecca Ferguson and Alec Baldwin who were standouts in 2015’s Rogue Nation. Vanessa Kirby is a new addition, as well Angela Bassett who plays a CIA official.

Directed by frequent Cruise collaborator Christopher McQuarrie, who previously helmed Mission: Impossible Rogue Nation, Mission: Impossible – Fallout is scheduled for release on July 27, 2018.

20th Century Fox

The first trailer shows a young boy Rory played by Jacob Tremblay, opening a mysterious package (which he probably shouldn’t). In it we see him pick up an alien object that seem to trigger a spaceship to crash into the earth’s atmosphere. We then see a collage of action scenes, some quick glimpses of the Predator while a scientist try to figure out the threat it poses.

The upcoming film action horror sci-fi is the fourth film in the Predator series. The original, directed by John McTiernan (Die Hard) and starred Arnold Schwarzenegger was released in 1987 and became that year’s second biggest hit (next only to Beverly Hills Cop II). The original film has since been considered one of the greatest action films by genre fans and appeared in “best of” lists in many trade publications.

The film’s director Shane Black (Lethal Weapon, Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys) appeared in the film as radio operator Rick Hawkins who was later ambushed by the extraterrestrial creature.

Also in the film are Boyd Holbrook, Trevante Rhodes, Keegan-Michael Key and Sterling K. Brown. ‘The Predator’ is set for release on September 14, 2018.
