New UK Trailer for Disappearance Thriller 'The Stranger in Our Bed'
"We have to make sacrifices… but it has its rewards." Signature Entertainment has revealed an official UK trailer for the indie thriller The Stranger in Our Bed, arriving in the UK to watch later in September. "Prepare for Britain's answer to Gone Girl." Feeling trapped in her controlling marriage to wealthy husband Tom, Charlotte Carlisle begins an affair with another man, who one day mysteriously disappears without a trace. Behind her husband's back, she secretly begins an investigation, teaming up with her lover's sister Becki to uncover the truth behind what happened. It quickly becomes clear that nothing is at it seems, and after becoming witnesses to a murder, the two become entangled in a dark, twisted game of cat-and-mouse. Starring Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Emily Berrington, Terri Dwyer, Andi Osho, Bart Edwards, and Nina Wadia. This looks like a made-for-TV crime thriller with some mediocre performances – if that's your jam.
Time Traveling Teens in First Look Teaser for Sci-Fi 'Paper Girls' Series
"We're in 2019!" "We're gonna get back to 1988." Amazon has revealed a short teaser for their upcoming sci-fi series Paper Girls, adapted from the highly regarded comic book series by Brian K. Vaughan & Cliff Chiang. If you haven't heard about it yet, you'll definitely want to keep an eye on this! Paper Girls follows four young girls who, while out delivering papers on the morning after Halloween back in 1988, become unwittingly caught in a conflict between warring factions of time-travelers, sending them on an adventure through time that will save the world. As they travel between our present, the past, and the future – they encounter future versions of themselves and now must choose to embrace or reject their fate. Okay that sounds awesome? The footage in this teaser is a bit rough, but I am hoping the rest of it kicks ass when they show us more. The series stars Sofia Rosinsky, Camryn Jones, Riley Lai Nelet, and Fina Strazza, with Ali Wong and Nate Corddry. I'm looking forward to seeing more from this before it debuts in July.
First Trailer for RomCom 'Ticket to Paradise' Starring Julia Roberts
"I won't let her throw her life away - we need to trick her into dumping him." Universal has revealed the official trailer for a romantic comedy event titled Ticket to Paradise, made by the director of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again previously. Which means get ready for a fabulous time at the movies! A divorced couple teams up and travels to Bali to stop their daughter from making the same mistake they think they made 25 years ago. What was the mistake they made? Well it doesn't say, but another synopsis adds: after Lily abruptly decides to marry a local, and this trailer sets up everything else going on. Ticket to Paradise is filmed on location in Queensland, Australia. Starring George Clooney and Julia Roberts as the older couple, with Kaitlyn Dever, Billie Lourd, and Lucas Bravo. This looks fun, but it also looks like a giant tourism ad for Bali. Though it does seem like Roberts and Clooney are having a blast hamming it up in this.
Official Trailer for Lebanese Revisiting-the-Past Film 'Memory Box'
"I don't recognize my mom. She's changed so much." An official trailer is out for a wonderful indie drama titled Memory Box, from Lebanese filmmakers Joana Hadjithomas & Khalil Joreige. This premiered at the 2021 Berlin Film Festival last year, and was one of the highlights of the fest, a discovery showcasing a very sentimental and moving story about family and hidden pasts. The film is set partially in Montreal, where it begins. On Christmas Eve, Maia and her teenage daughter Alex receive an unexpected delivery: notebooks, tapes, and photos Maia sent to her best friend from 1980's Beirut. Maia refuses to open the box or confront its memories, but Alex secretly begins diving into it. Between fantasy and reality, Alex enters the world of her mother's tumultuous, passionate adolescence during the Lebanese civil war, unlocking mysteries of a hidden past. It's especially creative with how they work in real archival footage & photos into this story, mixing the past with the present. Starring Rim Turki, Manal Issa, Paloma Vauthier, Michelle Bado, Rita Bado, and Rabih Mroué. This is a really beautiful film for many reasons, it's definitely worth a look.
Saoirse Ronan in London Murder Mystery 'See How They Run' Trailer
"We are no longer merely suspects, we are also potential victims!" Ahaha that line delivery. Searchlight Pictures has revealed an official trailer for a cinematic new murder mystery whodunit movie called See How They Run, marking the feature debut of filmmaker Tom George. This one is opening in September later this year, with no festival premieres announced yet. Set in the West End of 1950s London, a desperate Hollywood film producer sets out to turn a popular play into a film. When a crew member working on the production is murdered, world-weary Inspector Stoppard and rookie Constable Stalker find themselves in the midst of a puzzling whodunit. The exquisite ensemble cast for this features Sam Rockwell, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody, David Oyelowo, Ruth Wilson, Harris Dickinson, Shirley Henderson, Sian Clifford, Jacob Fortune-Lloyd, Reece Shearsmith, and Charlie Cooper. A fun whodunit set in London's "glamorously sordid theater underground" scene? I'm all in, friends! This looks perfectly amusing.

Rebecca Hall Harbors a Secret in Eerie Full Trailer for 'Resurrection'
"The life… we made… was perfect." IFC Films has debuted the full-length official trailer for Resurrection, a mysterious, compelling indie thriller from up-and-coming filmmaker Andrew Semans. This premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival in January at the start of this year - it made our Top 10 of the Fest and has been picking up buzz playing at Sundance London, too. A woman's carefully constructed life is upended when an unwelcome shadow from her past returns, forcing her to confront the monster she's evaded for two decades. Who is he? What is she hiding in her past? What is really going on between them? There's only one way to find out - you have to see it and decipher it yourself. Rebecca Hall stars as Rebecca, along with Tim Roth, Grace Kaufman, Michael Esper & Angela Wong Carbone. I wrote in my review that this is "a masterful psychological thriller that roars with an impeccable Rebecca Hall performance." Finally opening in US theaters this August for anyone curious to try and figure out what's going on and who she (and he) is.
German Expressionism's Legacy Examined in Video Essay on Cinema
"It isn't just the characters who have gone insane, but almost the environment itself." Can films from the early days of cinema still influence movies being made today? Of course they can! And they still do all the time. But this is still worth examining in closer detail. This video essay is from Thomas Flight, a popular YouTuber creating videos about cinema. It's titled "The Art Movement That Changed Film Forever", but it's really about German Expressionism - and how this cinema movement still influences films today. Obviously Flight was inpsired by the cinematography in Joel Coen's The Tragedy of Macbeth, and wanted to make this video about why it looks this way. He references three iconic films from the 1920s: The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, Nosferatu, and Metropolis; then goes on to connect how this distinct visual style is still evident in modern films from Blade Runner (both of them) to The Humans last year. Watch and learn more below.

A Revenge Plot Turns Lucrative for Girls in 'Bundles' Thriller Trailer
"I just don't understand why we're stopping at only one." Gravitas Ventures has revealed an official trailer for an indie thriller titled Bundles, marking the feature debuts of filmmakers Ryan Jordan & Jeffrey Leslie. This hasn't played at any festivals or elsewhere, but will be landing on VOD later in July or anyone that wants to watch. A high school girl's harmless plot for revenge inspires a lucrative business venture, until a group of friends find themselves in a hairy situation. Why does this sound like a dark comedy? The film is set in the D.M.V. (D.C., Maryland, Virginia) area, and is described as having a "range of nostalgic and jaw clenching events." The huge ensemble cast features Yovanna Harris, Naysa Young, Tanisha Adams, Alexis Jacquelyn Smith, Layla Khepri, Karen Cult, Kevin Tan, Lisa Renee Marshall, Imonte Ford, Nick Scales, and more. It's pretty clear why this didn't play at any fests – it does not look any good.
Official US Trailer for 'Loving Highsmith' Doc About the Writer's Life
"She was easy to love, let's put it that way." Zeitgeist Films & Kino Lorber in NYC have revealed an official US trailer for an indie documentary biopic titled Loving Highsmith, made by the Swiss filmmaker Eva Vitija. This will be showing in US art house cinemas starting in early September later this summer. Based on celebrated American author Patricia Highsmith's personal writings & accounts of her family and lovers, the film casts new light on the famous thriller writer's life and oeuvre, permeated by themes of love and its defining influence on identity. Highsmith herself was forced to lead a double life and had to hide her vibrant love affairs from her family and the public, only discussing any details in private correspondences. Excerpts from these notes voiced by Gwendoline Christie in the film, beautifully interwoven with archive material of her and her most famous novel adaptions, create a vivid, touching portrait of one of the most fascinating female writers. This looks lovely, indeed a captivating profile of an enigmatic and superbly talented writer.

Ron Howard's Thai Cave Rescue Movie 'Thirteen Lives' Official Trailer
"Just a crazy idea…" Amazon has revealed the first official trailer for Thirteen Lives, the Ron Howard fictionalized movie version of the Thailand cave rescue story from 2018. Everyone knows the story! It was headline news for weeks, and they just released an award-winning documentary last year called The Rescue. Howard gives it the Apollo 13 treatment by turning it into a seriously intense feature film. A rescue mission is assembled in Thailand where a group of young boys and their soccer coach are trapped in a system of underground caves that are flooding. A team of world-class divers navigate through miles of dangerous cave networks to discover that finding the boys is only the beginning… The cast features Viggo Mortensen as Richard Stanton, Colin Farrell as John Volanthen, Joel Edgerton as Richard Harris, an anaesthetist, plus a Thai cast featuring Sukollawat Kanarot, Thiraphat Sajakul, Sahajak Boonthanakit, Vithaya Pansringarm, Teeradon Supapunpinyo, & Nophand Boonyai. Yeah this looks as incredible as I was hoping, it's not easy to recreate this and stay true to what really happened. But it seems they've pulled it off.

"If you wanna make it, you gotta make music, surely. The right song, at the right time…" Paramount has revealed the first 30-second teaser trailer for a film titled On the Come Up, about a young female rapper on the rise. Even though there's not much footage in here, there's more than enough to get me interested in this one. The story centers on 16-year-old Bri, played by newcomer Jamila C. Gray, who wants to be one of the greatest rappers of all time. Facing controversies and with an eviction notice staring down her family, Bri doesn't just want to make it, she has to. Based on the New York Times #1 best-selling YA novel by Angie Thomas (who also penned The Hate U Give), On The Come Up is punctuated by the comedic talents of Mike Epps, hip hop heroes like Method Man and Lil Yachty, and the lyrical prowess of Rapsody. The cast also includes Da'Vine Joy Randolph, GaTa, Miles Gutierrez-Riley, Titus Makin Jr., and Michael Anthony Cooper Jr. I'm ready to watch Bri battle. Check this out and stay tuned for the full trailer soon.
