New and upcoming movies / documentaries (trailers etc)

[surreal]

I'm sure we had a trailers thread but I couldn't find it so I thought I'd start a new one for some interesting upcoming things:

Hidden Figures: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK8xHq6dfAo
Story of three black women working at NASA during the space race.  Good cast (except for when I spotted Jim "typecasting" Parsons... Taraji Henson can do no wrong in my book, looking forward to this.

Arrival: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tFMo3UJ4B4g
This is the movie version of "Story of your Life" by Ted Chiang.  Alien contact, without the war aspect. 

Couple of quirky ones:

Zoom: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JFRUtSbNp6g
I have no idea but Alison Pill is always worth a look

Girl Asleep: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfpcbbv9V5g
This just screams Napoleon Dynamite, looks amusing though.

Finally a couple of documentaries:

Do Not Resist: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Zt7bl5Z_oA
A look at the militarisation of the US police force.

Dying Laughing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVknI3MqzgQ
This one should be made for this place, all about stand-up comedy

Guardians Official Trailer (2017) - Superhero Movie [ENG SUB].

There's a bit of slightly-dodgy CG in there and a guy who's ripped off Bucky from the Marvel flicks, but that's a pretty impressive looking piece of work. Proper Hollywood job.

Rings.

Sadako Samara's back and attacking Jessica Alba or summit.

Kim Jee-Wong's The Age of Shadows.

The only film of his I've actually seen is A Tale of Two Sisters, which I only saw once, yonks ago. I think I thought it was just okay... he's an interesting director, though.

I wasn't that keen on A Tale Of Two Sisters, but I Saw The Devil is tremendous. A really black comedy. Or a psychological horror film. Or a revenge thriller. I'm not sure.

Shin Godzilla (AKA Godzilla Resurgence) US trailer.

The previous Japanese trailer appeared to give away way too much.

[imitationleather]

I guess this sort-of fits in here: Louis Theroux's much delayed debut film My Scientology Movie appears to be finally getting a general release, a mere year since it was first screened at the London Film Festival. I've heard 7th October touted as the date, although you'd expect publicity to now be going in to overdrive if it really was coming out then. I have no idea why any of you would have any more solid info on this, but does anyone?

Personally, 7th October would be quite convenient a release for me as it means I can do something on my birthday apart from crying and wanking about how I have no friends in Newcastle and wish I was back in London.

Has anyone seen Tickled yet? Or Lo and Behold? They're my two most highly anticipated docs this year. Just can't seem to be able to a find them online.

[Glebe]

Terrence Malick's forthcoming IMAX doc Voyage of Time really deserves it's own thread, but seeing as how I'm none too au fait with Malick's filmography (for shame!), I'm not really the right person to start it... anyhoo, here's some trailers and a featurette. Looks gorgeous:

Voyage Of Time: The IMAX Experience trailer.

Trailer #1.

Trailer #2.

IMAX® Presents: Voyage of Time.

[Glebe]

Christine trailer.

Look's interesting. The incident sounds familiar.

WARNING! Do not watch if squeamish:

Morgan Spurlock's Rats trailer.

[Glebe]

Here's a trailer for+footage from Alexander Jodorowsky's latest (with French subs only, alas), Poesía sin fin (Endless Poetry).

I'm rather ashamed to say that the only one of his films I've seen in Santa Sangre, which was enjoyable, arty oddness. Anyway, as a special Brucie bonus, here's the Cannes poster:

Also, here's an English-language (dubbed, not subbed, sadly)  trailer for Russian superhero tale Guardians... here's the original Russian trailers. The CG's a mite dodgy, but it looks like spirited fun.

Looks fun, if a fair bit cheesy.

If you're in the market for Russian action/fantasy/superhero thingy give Night Watch (2004) a try (and the books it's based on are apparently very good, according to the wife) The sequel Day Watch isn't quiet as good, but the first film is definitely worth a punt.

The weird thing is, I've seen Night Watch... except I don't think I sat through the whole thing.

The Alchemist Cookbook written & directed by Joel Potrykus what did Buzzard and Ape.

[Glebe]

Stanley Kubrick's The Shining (New Trailer 2016) - In cinemas for Halloween | BFI.

It's the longer, US cut, apparently.

[Wet Blanket]

The longer cut has grown on me since seeing on the big screen the last time it got a re-release.

The original trailer is a work of art in its own right, there was no need for this new conventional one.   

[clingfilm portent]

So I saw Herzog's Lo and Behold: Reveries in a Connected World[nb]Thanks to a helpful CaBber[/nb] and.... he's still got it!

[mothman]

Laurence! Pratt! Spaceships! Looks nice. But I can hear a lot of written SF on long-didtance space missions pinging in the back of my mind.

Well, it looks pretty...

Featuring Alien hibernation pods!

[FAKE EDIT]

Birth of the Dragon.

Interesting subject matter, but it look's a little cheesy.

The Whole Truth.

That's Renée Zellweger?! Obviously lost a ton of weight and aged since the new Bridget Jones. Hey look, it's Jim Belushi!

[Glebe]

Newtown trailer.

Also, here's a clip. There's also this related doc:

Midsummer in Newtown.

[Dr Rock]

She had that plastic surgery which made her look totally different - I was surprised that she looked a bit like her old self for the Bridget Jones Baby. Probably cgi or something.

Kermode gave Bridget Jones Baby a reasonably favourable review btw, don't know how good or bad it is, but I bet it's his tin ear for comedy coming through again.

It's a fucking disgrace.

Oh yeah, also... read something about this a little while ago:

The Witness trailer.

[lazarou]

Might be heresy to some, but I'd recommend the international theatrical cut if that wasn't the one you were watching. The international cut removes some extraneous side-stories and generally tightens the story quite well, whereas the original cut (sometimes called the "Director's Cut" on official releases) is much less focused. You'll know if you're watching the international cut as that's the one with the nifty animated subtitles.

Oh yeah, I seem to remember some confusion about that watching the DVD.

Anyhoo... how about Brendan Gleeson and Michael Fassbinder doing West Country accents in Trespass Against Us?

[Glebe]

Audrey and Daisy.

Looks like one of those documentaries that'll make your blood boil...

[Glebe]

The Eyes Of My Mother.

Looks good an' scary.

The Red Turtle US trailer (and here's the French trailer, which has been out a few months).

Look's beautiful.

[Glebe]

13th.

Look's interesting.

The Autopsy of Jane Doe.

Look's creepy.

[Glebe]

Fences.

Look's like the kind of serious drama Hollywood doesn't do anymore.

20th Century Women.

Could be good.

King Cobra.

Looks a bit unsettling. Could be good. Could be shit. YOU decide!

Desierto trailer #1.

Desierto trailer #2.

Looks a bit tense and that.

[Glebe]

Gimme Danger.

I only know a few Stooges songs, but I imagine this'll be worth a look.

Sky Ladder.

Nice.

Coming Through The Rye.

I like the look of that.

[Johnny Textface]

Anyone know if De Palma is available anywhere that's legit?
