Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma” Trailer Released

By Creative Media Times

Academy Award winning director Alfonso Cuaron is back in his first film since sci-fi epic “Gravity.” Netflix has released the first teaser trailer for “Roma,” a story which chronicles a tumultuous year in the life of a middle-class family in Mexico City in the early 1970s.

Said to be Cuaron’s most personal film yet, “Roma” is filmed in black-and-white which perfectly complement’s the film’s ’70s setting.

The much buzzed-about family drama was also written, co-edited, co-photographed, co-produced Alfonso Cuarón and stars Yalitza Aparicio, Marco Graf, Marina de Tavira, Enoc Leaño, Daniela Demesa and Daniel Valtierra.

Roma is set to have its world premiere later this month on August 30, 2018 at the Venice Film Festival, and then followed by screenings at Toronto International Film Festival before it debuts on Netflix and in select theaters this fall, though no specific date has been announced.

Here’s the official synopsis for “Roma”:

A vivid portrayal of domestic strife and social hierarchy amidst political turmoil, ROMA follows a young domestic worker Cleo (Yalitza Aparicio) from Mixteco heritage descent and her co-worker Adela (Nancy García), also Mixteca, who work for a small family in the middle-class neighborhood of Roma. Mother of four, Sofia (Marina de Tavira), copes with the extended absence of her husband, Cleo faces her own devastating news that threatens to distract her from caring for Sofia’s children, whom she loves as her own. While trying to construct a new sense of love and solidarity in a context of a social hierarchy where class and race are perversely intertwined, Cleo and Sofia quietly wrestle with changes infiltrating the family home in a country facing confrontation between a government-backed militia and student demonstrators.

“Bad Times at the El Royale” Character Posters Released

By Creative Media Times

20th Century Fox

20th Century Fox has released a batch of new posters for its star-studded crime mystery thriller film “Bad Times at the El Royale.” This includes the film’s stylish one-sheet and seven of it’s shadowy characters. See the character posters below.

There’s Jeff Bridges as a down-on-his-luck priest Father Daniel Flynn (“I’m not really a priest,” his character says on the trailer,) Cynthia Erivo as down-on-her-luck singer Darlene, Dakota Johnson as gun-toting Emily Summerspring, Cailee Spaeny as Emily’s younger sister, Jon Hamm as vacuum cleaner salesman Laramie Seymour Sullivan, Lewis Pullman as a young concierge at the hotel welcoming the guests and Chris Hemsworth as the often shirtless cult leader Billy Lee.

Just like the film’s trailer, the posters are atmospheric, stylish and intriguing, never fully giving away the plot. But it looks like not everyone in the film is who they seem or say they are. Trouble is definitely in the horizon in the El Royale.

Drew Goddard directed and wrote “Bad Times at the El Royale,” as well as produced it with Jeremy Latcham. The film is the first directorial effort by Goddard since 2012’s horror comedy “The Cabin in the Woods” which also featured Hemsworth. Goddard wrote boxoffice hit and critically acclaimed “The Martian” for which he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay.

“Seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, meet at Lake Tahoe’s El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption… before everything goes to hell.”

“Bad Times at the El Royale” will hit theaters on October 12.

Switchfoot Announces New Song “You Found Me” Written For “Unbroken: Path To Redemption” In Theaters Nationwide September 14

GRAMMY Award®-winning and platinum selling recording artists SWITCHFOOT debuted their first new song in over two years, as announced today on the band’s social media pages. The brand-new track, “You Found Me,” was written for the motion picture UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION and is the lead single from the film’s soundtrack album, releasing day & date with the film’s theatrical release on September 14th.

Clips from the film are featured in the music video for the song, which will debut exclusively via SWITCHFOOT’s social media pages on Tuesday, August 14th before being serviced wide on Wednesday, August 15th. Fans can pre-order the soundtrack today and get the song instantly!

Based on Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book, UNBROKEN: PATH TO REDEMPTION begins where the 2014 hit movie Unbroken concludes, continuing the inspiring and unbelievable true story of the Olympian and World War II hero Louis Zamperini.

The band’s connection to the story of Zamperini is deeply felt in the lyrics of the song and message of the music video. Jon (lead vocals & guitar) & Tim Foreman (bass) had a grandfather who served in World War II as a fighter pilot, flying the same plane that Zamperini flew (B-24). Like Zamperini, their grandfather was shot down and survived. They have always been deeply connected to Zamperini’s story, and thus it was fitting for them to be able to tell it within the musical anthem for the film.

John Carpenter’s “The Fog” to haunt theaters again halloween week. New 4K restoration will roll in October 26 with NYC, LA and Chicago Runs. Screening across U.S. at Alamo Drafthouse Circuit and other venues.


New York based Rialto Pictures will release John Carpenter’s landmark horror movie THE FOG on October 26, in its first-ever major restoration.

Additional screenings will occur during the week of Halloween throughout the Alamo Drafthouse circuit and other specialty theaters.

Carpenter’s first post-Halloween venture into the H.P. Lovecraft-inspired, apocalyptic vein that he would continue to mine in films like The Thing (1982) and Prince of Darkness (1987), THE FOG depicts the seaside California town of Antonio Bay in the grips of an ancient curse and a creeping mist. Drenched in malevolent atmosphere and packing an ensemble cast that includes Adrienne Barbeau, Tom Atkins, Hal Holbrook and the mother-daughter duo of Janet Leigh and Jamie Lee Curtis, this is the director at his ingenious, chilling best, servicing a contemporary taste for gore while simultaneously evoking the spirit of Val Lewton.

New Trailer: Wyeth

WYETH tells the story of one of America’s most popular, but least understood, artists – Andrew Wyeth. Son of the famous illustrator N.C. Wyeth, Andrew had his first exhibition at age 20, and his painting “Christina’s World” was acquired by the Museum of Modern Art in 1948. While Wyeth’s exhibitions routinely broke attendance records, art world critics continually assaulted his work.

Detailing the stunning drawings and powerful portraits he created in Chadds Ford, Pa. and on the coast of Cushing, Maine, WYETH explores his inspirations, including neighbor Christina Olsen and his hidden muse, the German model Helga Testorf, who he painted secretly for 15 years.

Through unprecedented access to Wyeth’s family members, including sons Jamie and Nicholas Wyeth, and never-before-seen archival materials from the family’s personal collection and hundreds of Wyeth’s studies, drawings and paintings, American Masters presents the most complete portrait of the artist yet — bearing witness to a legacy just at the moment it is evolving.

Directed by Glenn Holsten, the film will be available on Digital HD on September 8 and on DVD September 11 via PBS Distribution.

Eerie First Trailer For Netflix’s “Maniac” Released

By Creative Media Times

Netflix

Emma Stone and Jonah Hill has come a long way since they last starred together in the raunchy coming-of-age teen comedy hit film “Superbad.” The two are reuniting in an upcoming dark comedy series from Netflix “Maniac,” and now we finally have its first full trailer.

The trailer shows Stone and Hill’s characters Annie Landsberg and Owen Milgrim, being interrogated by
Justin Theroux’s Dr. James Mantleray. “Do you know where you are, right now? What do you think is wrong with you” Mantleray says.

“Is this therapy now?” Annie asks back during the interrogation which quickly turned bizarre. “It’s not therapy, it’s science,” Mantleray responds. “Once you begin to appreciate the structure of the mind, there’s no reason to believe anything about us can’t be changed. Pain can be destroyed. The mind can be solved.”

The series is based on the Norwegian television series of the same name by Hakon Bast Mossige and Espen PA Lervaag which aired in 2014. Written by Patrick Somerville and directed by Cary Fukunaga, “Maniac” is set to premiere on Netflix on Sep. 15.

Here’s the series logline:

“Annie’s disaffected and aimless, fixated on broken relationships with her mother and her sister; Owen, the fifth son of wealthy New York industrialists, has struggled his whole life with a disputed diagnosis of schizophrenia. Neither of their lives have turned out quite right, and the promise of a new, radical kind of pharmaceutical treatment—a sequence of pills its inventor, Dr. James K. Mantleray (Justin Theroux), claims can repair anything about the mind, be it mental illness or heartbreak—draws them and ten other strangers to the facilities of Neberdine Pharmaceutical and Biotech for a three-day drug trial that will, they’re assured, with no complications or side-effects whatsoever, solve all of their problems, permanently. Things do not go as planned.”

The poster brings the film back to its roots, featuring the titular monster’s iconic thermal vision aimed at what looks like a new female Predator. Last month, this was confirmed at San Diego Comic-Con where fans of the series had an opportunity to see an exclusive footage of the film.

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.

Here is the film’s official synopsis:

“From the outer reaches of space to the small-town streets of suburbia, the hunt comes home in Shane Black’s explosive reinvention of the Predator series. Now, the universe’s most lethal hunters are stronger, smarter and deadlier than ever before, having genetically upgraded themselves with DNA from other species. When a young boy accidentally triggers their return to Earth, only a ragtag crew of ex-soldiers and a disgruntled science teacher can prevent the end of the human race.”
