Skydance Productions and Warner Bros. Pictures has released a new trailer for ‘Geostorm’, the big budget disaster action sci-fi from producer Dean Devlin about weather controlling satellites, and it is big as one can imagine. Gerard Butler leads the cast as a scientist who is out to save the world from catastrophes.

Here is the synopsis for Geostorm:

After an unprecedented series of natural disasters threatened the planet, the world’s leaders came together to create an intricate network of satellites to control the global climate and keep everyone safe. But now, something has gone wrong—the system built to protect the Earth is attacking it, and it’s a race against the clock to uncover the real threat before a worldwide geostorm wipes out everything…and everyone along with it.

The trailer shows plenty of humor, quite a relief from disaster flicks that take itself seriously. The film’s marketing also puts “From The Producer of Independence Day” front and center. That is of course “Dean Devlin” in his feature debut as a director. Devlin also co-wrote and produced the film. So there is plenty of potential for a breakout hit here.

Also starring Jim Sturgess, Abbie Cornish, Ed Harris and Andy García, Geostorm will be in theaters on October 20th.

Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart is pulled into a video game while Guns N’ Roses play in the background in the new trailer for “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle”, the stand-alone sequel to the 1995 hit film, “Jumanji”. “I think we got sucked into Jumanji and we’ve become the avatars that we chose,” Johnson’s Spencer character says after landing inside the jungle video game setting.

That setting is a new modernized twist to the original film starring the late Robin Williams, wherein Jumanji was a board game as opposed to a vintage video game in this Sony-Columbia reboot.

Joining Johnson and Hart are Jack Black and Karen Gillan. They play avatars of four teenagers after they are transported and stuck inside the game setting. For them to return to their world, they must get through all the obstacles and finish the game. This plot is somewhat a reverse of the original, wherein stampeding elephants and other heard of animals are released into the real world as the characters play the game.

Directed by Jake Kasdan (“Bad Teacher), “Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle” also stars Nick Jonas, Ser’Darius Blain, Alex Wolff, Madison Iseman, and Morgan Turner. The film is set to hit theaters later this year on Dec. 20.

Universal Pictures unveiled the title for its upcoming film Jurassic World sequel via a new poster. Helmed by Spanish film director J. A. Bayona, Jurassic World 2 is now officially “Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom”.

“Fallen Kingdom” is fifth installment in the highly successful Jurassic Park film series. Jurassic World currently remains the 4th highest grossing film worldwide.

J. A. Bayona previously directed last year’s fantasy drama A Monster Calls. Chris Pratt will be reprising his park trainer Owen Grady, while Bryce Dallas Howard and B. D. Wong are also set to return.

Interestingly, Jeff Goldblum is also back as Dr. Ian Malcolm, a character in the original 1993 Steven Spielberg classic that started it all, “Jurassic Park” and the 1997 sequel “The Lost World: Jurassic Park”. He also had a book cameo in Jurassic World. Along with B.D.Wong’s Dr. Henry Wu, Malcolm also appeared in Michael Crichton’s Jurassic Park novel from which Spielberg’s first installment was based from.

The tagline on the new poster itself is throwback: fans might recall that “life life a way” is one of Malcolm’s cautionary lines from Jurassic Park.

According to Jurassic World 2 Movie‘s website, a trailer might debut at San Diego Comic-Con next month. So it looks like Universal is already ramping up the hype on this highly anticipated sequel.

‘Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom’ is scheduled to arrive in theaters on June 22, 2018.
