A huge tip of the hat to the creative minds at Netflix who yesterday released one of the coolest movie teasers I’ve seen in years. It’s for the highly anticipated period comedy-thriller “The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth”. It’s the standalone sequel and spin-off to Quentin Tarantino’s superb 2019 feature “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”. Tarantino once again writes the script but interestingly hands over the directing reins to David Fincher. Together they form a filmmaking combo that is impossible for me to resist. One look at the new teaser and you’ll know why.

Set eight years after the events of “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”, Tarantino’s script sees Brad Pitt reprising his role as Cliff Booth, a former stuntman who has now become a Hollywood studio fixer. Netflix has kept the story details mostly under wraps, but the small bits we’ve seen have been more than enough to pique my interest. And look at the supporting cast: Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Timothy Olyphant, Holt McCallany, Emily Alyn Lind, Peter Weller, Carla Gugino, and many more. I can’t wait.

“The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth” will receive a special two-week exclusive IMAX theater release starting November 25th. It’s then set to release on Netflix December 23rd. Check out the new teaser and poster below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

I know there is a ton of excitement from Marvel fans for the mega-blockbuster “Avengers: Doomsday” which hits theaters on December 18th. But it’s not the only big release coming out that day. Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Three” brings his incredible adaptation of Frank Herbert’s classic space opera to its conclusion. And what better way to ramp up our excitement even more than with an epic final trailer for an all-time epic sci-fi trilogy.

Set nearly twenty years after the events of Part Two, the final film sees Paul Atreides reigning as the ruthless Emperor after seizing control of the Imperium. But the brutality of his rule has far-reaching consequences and now Paul is forced to deal with the fallout. The new trailer gives us the best sense yet of what we can expect. The action looks intense, the set pieces look magnificent, and it certainly packs a stellar cast that includes Zendaya, Jason Momoa, Florence Pugh, Robert Pattinson, Anya Taylor-Joy, Javier Bardem, and Rebecca Ferguson. I hate to overuse the word, but this truly looks epic.

“Dune: Part Three” soars into theaters December 18th. Check out the final trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Idris Elba pulls double duty in the upcoming science-fiction survival thriller “Above the Below”. The accomplished 54-year-old actor not only stars in his latest feature but also co-directs alongside Martin Owen. The new trailer dropped in theaters last week and it teases what looks to be an edge-of-your-seat race against the clock that starts in space and ends deep on the ocean floor. Joining Elba in his harrowing scenario is Caitlin FitzGerald and Hero Fiennes Tiffin.

The story (written by Elizabeth Morris, Matt Mitchell, and Vicki Sargent) follows three astronauts who are forced back to Earth following a disaster in space. While entering the planet’s atmosphere, their capsule is knocked off-course and sent plunging into the ocean. As they sink to the bottom of the sea, the crew must face the intense underwater pressure, no communication with mission control, and a dwindling oxygen supply in order to live. All the ingredients are here for an effective nail-biter.

“Above the Below” plunges into theaters December 4th. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

While the original “The Exorcist” is widely considered to be a horror movie classic, the six movies that followed it haven’t developed into a franchise I’ve been all that interested in. But that changed with the first trailer for “The Exorcist: Martyrs”. While it still proudly sports the Exorcist name, “Martyrs” offers a radically fresh spin on the series. It has a strong cast which the trailer smartly shows off. But perhaps most exciting is Mike Flanagan serving as director, writer, and producer.

Our first dip into the world Flanagan creates is truly chilling. “Martyrs” looks like a mix of David Fincher’s dark and brutal serial killer classic “Se7en” and the established possession genre. Scarlett Johansson plays Julie Miller, an NYPD homicide detective who is drawn into a diabolical case involving a copycat serial killer. She’s joined by a former prison chaplain, Father William (Chiwetel Ejiofor) and her rookie partner, Gina Restrepo (Sasha Calle). But the investigation takes a wicked turn once the supernatural elements kick in. Simply put, I love the looks of this.

“The Exorcist: Martyrs” hits theaters March 12, 2027. Check out the trailer below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.

Its release may still be four months away, but the upcoming film “Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew” has certainly sparked a lot of conversation. Writer-director Greta Gerwig follows up her massively popular “Barbie” by adapting the sixth book is C.S. Lewis’ beloved Chronicles of Narnia series. But from all indications, Gerwig isn’t using her artistic prowess to bring Lewis’ original story to the screen. Instead she’s moving away from the Christian inspiration in favor of what’s being called a David Bowie-inspired “rock opera”.

The first trailer for “The Magician’s Nephew” starts grounded before turning into a CGI-soaked fever dream. Gerwig throws together some eye-catching images and it certainly has a rock-n-roll energy. But that doesn’t mean it will be a good Narnia movie. In fact, much of the trailer looks like something vastly different – part cosmic adventure and part 1980s music video. And while Gerwig sidesteps her controversial casting of Meryl Streep as Aslan, there’s still plenty in the new trailer to spark all kinds of debates.

“Narnia: The Magician’s Nephew” opens in theaters on February 12, 2027. Check out the trailer and poster below and let me know if you’ll be seeing it or taking a pass.
