Beauty and the Beast Trailer Breaks Star Wars Views Record

The first teaser trailer for Disney’s live-action retelling of Beauty and the Beast overtakes Star Wars: The Force Awakens with the biggest teaser audience in history.

Disney’s re-imagining of the classic story was met with skepticism early in its production, with many fans expressing that a remaking of the 1991 animated classic was not even necessary. So no one really expected expected the teaser to break a record set by one of the teaser trailers for one of the biggest movies of all time, Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Yet that is exactly what just happened and the movie was soon trending following the trailer release on Monday

The teaser was watched 91.8m times during its first 24 hours of release, taking it ahead of the 88m views garnered by the second teaser for The Force Awakens in 2014.

Disney has been having a fantastic run lately, with The Jungle Book’s boxoffice performance this year exceeding expectations, and looks to repeat the same kind of success when their live-action retelling of the classic fairy-tale Beauty and the Beast arrives next spring.

Here is the first glimpse of Disney remake of the classic story of Beauty and the Beast.

Beauty and the Beast opens on March 17, 2017. It stars Emma Watson, Ian McKellen, Ewan McGregor and Emma Thompson. It was directed by Bill Condon from a script by Stephen Chbosky.

Steven Spielberg and Mark Rylance Bring ‘The BFG’ to Cannes.

Amid the usual excitement, the 2016 Cannes Film Festival is in full swing, premiering some of the year’s biggest films. One of the more anticipated titles is Steven Spielberg’s return to family film territory, The BFG.

An adaptation of Roald Dahl‘s classic novel about a young girl who befriends a “big friendly giant,” the movie reunites Spielberg with Mark Rylance, who won an academy award for Spielberg’s 2015 movie Bridge of Spies.

“I have a lot of acquaintances over 44 years [as a filmmaker],” he told reporters at the Cannes Film Festival Saturday. “And I haven’t brought a lot of people into my life from the movies … ” Clearly Rylance is an exception.

The BFG marks the actor and director’s second collaboration, and with a third under way, the director said he’s become close with the actor. Similarly, Rylance complimented Spielberg’s commitment to storytelling, saying, “How you tell a story — Steven’s constantly always thinking about that. So, you feel very confident as an actor that what you’re doing is going to be placed into a well-told story.”

So far, the collaboration is another success. The Telegraph UK call Rylance “as good a fit for the film as Spielberg: his BFG could almost be the distant ancestor of his indelible forest-dwelling troublemaker Johnny “Rooster” Byron in the Jez Butterworth play Jerusalem.”

The BFG comes to theaters July 1, 2016. Also stars Ruby Barnhill as the impulsively kidnapped orphan Sophie who befriends the title giant.

‘Spectre’ trailer delves into Bond’s murky past

The long-awaited first trailer for Spectre premiered Friday night. Spectre is the 24th instalment of the Bond franchise which has been shrouded in secrecy throughout its production.

The trailer picks up right where “Skyfall” left off and seem to delve deeper into Bond’s past. Sam Mendes, who helmed Skyfall, is back for another go. A couple of years ago, reports surfaced that he wouldn’t direct a follow-up, but judging by the dark, ominous tone of the trailer, elements that suggest tight narrative continuity from recent Bond movies, it looks like a natural move for Mendes to return and continue along that same old school Bond antics that he successfully set out on Skyfall.

“You’re a kite dancing in a hurricane, Mr. Bond,” says Mr. White. The character is played by Jesper Christensen, and appeared in earlier “Casino Royale” and “Quantum of Solace”.

Daniel Craig returns as 007 for the fourth time, with Christoph Waltz as Oberhauser, Ralph Fiennes (taking over as the new M), Naomie Harris as Moneypenny and Andrew Scott as Denbigh.

“Spectre” opens in theaters on November 6, 2015.
