Logan
Hugh Jackman's final outing as Wolverine looks as action packed as you'd expect, but I certainly didn't expect it to look quite as personal and emotional as it seems to be hinting at in this trailer. It looks like the film is both a send-off to one generation and an introduction to the next. It's coming out March 3rd.
Power Rangers
Here's the first full-length trailer for the Power Rangers
movie. It's clear this is going to be a pretty campy movie, the
question now is whether the actors will have fun with that campiness or
just come off looking silly. This trailer doesn't exactly leave me
feeling encouraged. It comes out March 24th.
Santa Clarita Diet
Santa Clarita Diet is an upcoming Netflix original comedy-horror series created by Victor Fresco, starring Drew Barrymore and Timothy Olyphant.
Fresco will serve as showrunner, and will be an executive producer
alongside Barrymore, Olyphant, Aaron Kaplan, Tracy Katsky, Chris Miller
and Ember Truesdell. The single camera series will consist of 13 episodes that will premiere on February 3, 2017.
Deidra & Laney Rob a Train
Deidra & Laney Rob a Train is headed to
Sundance next week, but it's already been picked up by Netflix for a
March 17th release. It's a comedy about a couple of teenagers who decide
to start robbing trains, which is an excellent conceit as far as I'm
concerned.
Powerless
The cast of Powerless is like a niche, nerdy
dream team, but the material they have to work with is... fun and modern
but maybe kind of already played out? Anyway, NBC's new sitcom is just
one giant opportunity to make superhero jokes, and there really ought to
be a lot of great material nowadays. Maybe once we're seeing more than
what's in the pilot, things'll get a little more interesting. The show
starts February 2nd.
Journey To The West 2: Demon Chapter
Kung Fu Hustle director Stephen Chow wrote this
absolutely ludicrous looking action-comedy about... I don't really even
know, but visually, it looks pretty incredible. I wish more action
movies got this ridiculous.
Colossal
This is a very unconventional monster movie, and I kind
of love it. Anne Hathaway stars. There's a giant freaky Godzilla / alien
thing terrorizing Seoul. They're connected in unexpected ways. Just
watch like 30 seconds of this trailer to see what it's all about. The
movie comes out April 7th.
Abstract: The Art of Design
This trailer might be a bit much, but the series seems like it could be neat. Abstract
is an eight-episode series that profiles designers and their work,
looking at everything from furniture and shoes to cars and buildings.
All episodes premiere February 10th.
City of Tiny Lights
One of the few good things to come out of 2016 was a
widespread desire to see Riz Ahmed everywhere. So here's his latest: a
noirish crime film set in London that has Ahmed playing a detective
searching for a missing woman. It comes out April 7th in the UK but
doesn't appear to have a US release date yet.
A Dark Song
The Witch was one of last year's best horror movies, and this first trailer for A Dark Song reminds
me of it quite a bit — it seems to be a horror film based around
seriously creepy occult stories rather than sudden scares. The film is
going to be distributed by IFC, but it doesn't appear to have a release
date just yet.
