Steven Spielberg is returning to a genre that helped solidify him as a household name. “Disclosure Day” sees the revered filmmaker revisiting the world of alien encounters that birthed such classics as “Close Encounters of the Third Kind”, “War of the Worlds”, and of course “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial”. The first trailer for the film sets up something that could be pretty special. Besides having Spielberg back in the director’s chair, the trailer also teased an exceptional cast led by Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, and Colman Domingo.

The trailer is wonderfully cryptic which is exactly what you want for a movie like this. In it we see Emily Blunt who suddenly seems possessed by an alien entity during a live weather report. Apparently the strange message she relays catches the attention of millions watching. Meanwhile Josh O’Connor seems to know what’s going on and he’s prepared to share it to the world. Crop circles, strange animal behavior, Colin Firth connected to some strange body-control machine – Spielberg and screenwriter David Koepp throw in a lot of compelling ingredients to a movie poised to be a summer hit.

“Disclosure Day” invades theaters on June 12, 2026. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

DC Studios has released the first trailer for “Supergirl”, the second feature film in James Gunn’s DC Universe. It follows on the heels of the frustrating yet mostly popular “Superman”, which ended with an awkward cameo of Milly Alcock’s Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl. Though not written or directed by Gunn, the new trailer shows a movie that’s following his brand to a tee. The angsty attitude, a lazy needle drop, desperate toilet humor, more shameless deconstruction – typical Gunn traits that fans will love and detractors will hate.

It’s hard to know what to expect from “Supergirl”. The trailer portrays Kara as a liquored-up party girl who runs afoul of some unsavory characters while jaunting around in space. We see her share some moments with her CGI dog Krypto and she talks about her home world of Krypton, which Gunn casually ruined in his Superman movie. About the only exciting bit is a two-second glimpse of Jason Momoa as Lobo. The rest looks like a typical James Gunn movie, even if he isn’t seated in the director’s chair.

“Supergirl” releases exclusively in theaters on June 26th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Now here’s a remake none of us saw coming. Actually, calling the upcoming “Anaconda” movie a remake is a big stretch. It’s more of a meta-reboot that follows a group of amateur filmmakers and their attempt at remaking the 1997 film “Anaconda”. This action-comedy from director Tom Gormican is a spoof that doesn’t look to be taking itself seriously at all. And from what I’ve seen, that looks to be the right approach.

With the film only a few weeks away, Columbia Pictures has released several new character posters featuring stars Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Thandiwe Newton, and more. You can check them out below.

“Anaconda” releases exclusively in theaters on December 25th.

Glen Powell leads an intriguing cast in A24’s upcoming black comedy thriller “How to Make a Killing”. It’s John Patton Ford’s sophomore feature that follows his impressive 2022 debut “Emily the Criminal”. His script is loosely based on a 1949 British film titled “Kind Hearts and Coronets” which starred Valerie Hobson, Dennis Price, and Alec Guinness. A24 recently dropped the first trailer for this crazy looking confection and it leaves a good first impression.

Joining the everywhere man Powell is the everywhere woman Margaret Qualley. It also stars Bill Camp, Jessica Henwick, Topher Grace, Zach Woods, and Ed Harris. Powell plays Becket Redfellow, a disowned yet ambitious black sheep who begins thinning out his family line in order to become the sole heir to their $28 billion fortune. Henwick plays Becket’s girlfriend Ruth while Qualley plays his childhood friend Julia. Just judging by the trailer, this looks to be a blast.

“How to Make A Killing” releases in February. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
