“These are troubled times… without leaders, chaos reigns.” Paramount has released the third trailer for Michael Bay’s latest Transformers movie, titled in full Transformers: The Last Knight. The last trailer we posted was focused on the young kids in the movie, but this one gives us a full look at everything going on. These movies (and the robots) keep getting bigger and bigger, with so much epic action it’s hard to even comprehend what we’re seeing. The huge ensemble cast includes Mark Wahlberg, Anthony Hopkins, Laura Haddock, John Goodman, Stanley Tucci, John Turturro, Josh Duhamel, Isabela Moner, Santiago Cabrera, and Liam Garrigan as King Arthur; plus the same Transformer voices as before: Peter Cullen, Frank Welker and Ken Watanabe. My sci-fi side makes me want to see this just because, but I’m still not that interested in any more Transformers films. I’m on the fence with this. What about you? ›››

“We can try to figure out what Simon would have wanted.” Cohen Media Group has debuted an official US trailer for the French indie drama Heal the Living, based on the book of the same name (Réparer les vivants) by Maylis De Kerangal. The film stars Tahar Rahim (from A Prophet and The Past) as Thomas Rémige, a doctor who is tasked with caring for a young teenage surfer boy who is in a coma after a car crash. The story follows the lives of three different people, and how they connect after a horrific accident. The cast includes Emmanuelle Seigner, Anne Dorval, Bouli Lanners, Kool Shen, Monia Chokri, and Alice Taglioni. The film already played at film festivals last fall, and opens this month. This has some stunning cinematography, and it looks like a tender, emotional film about grief. This trailer totally got my attention. ›››

“I chose this life, and someday it’s going to get me killed. But not today.” Universal has debuted a second official trailer for the action movie Atomic Blonde, which looks totally awesome. The comparisons to John Wick do seem accurate, but this also seems like it might have something unique to offer being set in Berlin. Atomic Blonde stars Charlize Theron as an undercover MI6 agent (and/or assassin) sent to Berlin during the Cold War to investigate the murder of a fellow agent. This is directed by David Leitch, a stuntman who worked on co-directing John Wick (before he was uncredited) and he’s directing Deadpool 2 next. The full cast includes Bill Skarsgård, Sofia Boutella, James McAvoy, John Goodman, Toby Jones, Eddie Marsan, James Faulkner, and Roland Møller. I dig the action in this trailer, very excited to watch this. ›››

“Volume up, pedal down!” Get ready for more! Sony has released another brand new international trailer for Edgar Wright’s latest, a movie called Baby Driver, about a skilled getaway driver who listens to music non-stop. This premiered at the SXSW Film Festival to rave reviews, and it looks awesome (catch the first trailer here). Ansel Elgort stars as a getaway driver named Baby who drives to music, and the movie is said to be set entirely to music with an energetic soundtrack. He gets coerced into working on a heist doomed to fail. The full cast includes Kevin Spacey, Lily James, Jon Bernthal, Eiza González, with Jon Hamm and Jamie Foxx. I really, really, really can’t wait to see this movie – I feel like I’m going to totally flip for it. ›››

“He’s got a heart of a lion, and the brains of a judge.” Icon has revealed a trailer for an action-thriller titled 6 Days, telling the true story of the attack on the Iranian Embassy in London in 1980. The standoff lasted for six days, with a group of SAS soldiers eventually breaching the embassy to put an end to the horror. 6 Days is the latest from the director of the Maori action film The Dead Lands. Jamie Bell stars as one of the special forces soldiers who is tasked with leading the raid. This also stars Mark Strong, Abbie Cornish, Emun Elliott, Nicholas Boulton, Martin Shaw, and Tim Downie. It was shot on location in London, and around Knightsbridge. This seems to be just a teaser and quick intro, but it looks like it could be good. ›››

“Delicately surreal.” A new trailer has arrived for a film titled Violet, from Flemish director Bas Devos. The film tells the story of 16-year-old Jesse, as played by Cesar De Sutter, who is the only one to witness the stabbing of his friend. But now he has to face his family and the friends in his BMX crew to tell them about how he really feels. Violet first premiered at the Berlin Film Festival in 2014, three years ago, and is just now being released. It won the Grand Prix prize at the festival then, for “its abstract exploration of emotions following a tragic death and because of its exquisite sculpture of cinematography, sound & story.” See below. ›››

An intriguing trailer has launched for a new sci-fi movie series titled The Osiris Child: Science Fiction Volume One (or, vice versa, as Science Fiction Volume One: The Osiris Child) from Australian filmmaker Shane Abbess. Described as an “adrenaline-fueled sci fi adventure”, the story takes place in the future in a time of interplanetary colonization, about a father who has to rescue a young woman amidst a global crisis. The full cast includes Kellan Lutz, Daniel MacPherson, Isabel Lucas, Luke Ford, Rachel Griffiths, Temuera Morrison, Bren Foster, Dwaine Stevenson, and Teagan Croft. As much as I was expecting this to look cheesy or too low budget, it actually looks pretty damn good, with some impressive visual effects and an interesting story. I don’t know if the movie is any good, but I’m very curious about checking this out. ›››

Showtime has debuted an official trailer for the new documentary made by Laura Poitras, who won the Academy Award a few years back for her doc CitizenFour about Edward Snowden. Risk follows a different whistleblower, the infamous Julian Assange, who founded WikiLeaks and has gotten himself in all kinds of trouble over the last few years. Similar to CitizenFour, this doc follows Assange very closely, with Poitras taking us on an intimate journey into the life of Assange and the situations he has put himself in. The film already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival in Director’s Fortnight last year as a work-in-progress titled Asylum. I saw the film there and was not a big fan, it’s nowhere near as good as CitizenFour, and I much prefer the other Assange doc titled We Steal Secrets: The Story of WikiLeaks made by Alex Gibney. But after the election of Trump, she seems to have added much more footage and given this doc an entirely new focus. ›››

“Let me guess, Ray: you got carried away?” The Orchard has debuted a trailer for a dark comedy film titled Take Me, which is premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival coming up later this month. Take Me is the feature directorial debut of actor Pat Healy, who also stars in the film as the main character. Healy plays Ray, a man who starts a business specializing in abductions that provide alternative therapy for his clients. But one of his customers and his target aren’t exactly as they seem, and things get crazy. The cast includes Taylor Schilling (from “Orange Is the New Black”), Toby Huss, Alejandro Patino, Alycia Delmore, and Mark Kelly. This looks wacky but also enjoyable, in a weird twisted way. Trust in Pat Healy, I guess. ›››

“Why is ‘normal’ the goal, why not authentic?” “Authentic is what he wants to be.” The Weinstein Company has launched a trailer for an indie film titled 3 Generations, telling an intimate and personal story of three different generations of a family in New York City. The film is centered around Elle Fanning playing Ray, who realizes she’s actually a boy and attempts to begin the transition but needs the support of her family. Her single mother and lesbian grandmother are part of the story, helping her in their own ways. Naomi Watts also stars, along with Susan Sarandon, Linda Emond, and Tate Donovan. This first premiered at the Toronto Film Festival back in 2015 under the title About Ray, and has been held for release ever since, now with a brand new title. The way this trailer is cut makes me wonder if it’s not as good as it seems. ›››
