Last month the teaser trailer for Fantastic Four came out of nowhere, finally showing off what we can expect from Josh Trank‘s comic book reboot. The teaser was pretty heavy-handed, going for a tone akin to Interstellar, so we’re wondering just what we’ll see in the next trailer. In the meantime, Empire has released four new images from the film, each giving us a new look at Miles Teller, Michael B. Jordan, Jamie Bell and Kate Mara in the film. There’s nothing too revealing here, but at his point, we’ll take what we can get. The film doesn’t hit until later this summer, so we’ve probably got time to wait for more footage. Look! ›››

“How can that possibly be a success?” This looks great! Coming out of Sundance this year were a number of outstanding documentaries (our 7 favorites here), including this one, which picked up the Audience Award in the World Cinema Documentary category. Dark Horse is a documentary about a small Welsh town that decides to adopt and breed a racehorse even though they don’t have much money. Lo and behold it goes on to become a huge success, and this is the story of that horse and the town. This is one film we didn’t get to see, but heard nothing but amazing things about during the festival. This first trailer definitely gives us a glimpse at just how crowdpleasing and inspiring it is, and I’m looking forward to seeing it sooner than later. ›››

We’ve talked about the awesome shot-for-shot remake of Raiders of the Lost Ark that was attempted by a group of 12-year old kids back in 1982 before. The film became a cult sensation when it was screened in Austin, Texas, and now the story of how the film came to be is coming to the big screen with a documentary called Raiders! premiering at SXSW next month. In addition to looking back at the making of the film with childhood friends Eric Zala and Chris Strompolos, it also chronicles their attempt to shoot the final scene they could never pull off: the infamous Flying Wing scene where the shirtless Nazi strongman is cut up by the circling plane’s propeller while fighting Indy. This looks like one hell of a cool story. Watch now! ›››

The writing duo behind last summer’s comedy sensation Neighbors are doing pretty well for themselves right now. Brendan O’Brien and Andrew J. Cohen have their script Mike & Dave Need Wedding Dates getting produced with Zac Efron and Adam DeVine in the lead roles, and now Deadline reports another one of their scripts has just been picked up by New Line after a heated auction to grab it took place. The comedy is called The House and already has Will Ferrell slated to star in the film that will also mark the feature directorial debut of Cohen. New Line will make the film for $40 million with shooting beginning in August. ›››

Even though director Richard Linklater didn’t take home an Oscar last weekend, he’s not letting it get him down. The Boyhood helmer is already in post-production on That’s What I’m Talking About, the spiritual sequel to Dazed and Confused, and in some ways could also be considered a follow-up to his recent 12-year project. But now THR reports Linklater is in talks to direct Where’d You Go Bernadette, an adaptation of Maria Semple’s books of the same name set up at Annapurna Pictures. The book has already been adapted by The Fault in Our Stars writers Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber, so it’s ready. ›››
