“Mister – superheroes don’t fly, or look like Jesus. They drive broken down cars…” Gravitas Ventures has debuted a trailer for an inspirational indie drama titled All We Had, the feature directorial debut of actress Katie Holmes, who also stars in the film. It’s about a troubled mother and her young teenage daughter, named Ruthie played by Stefania Owen, who end up in a small town after attempting to live out of their car. They’ve always lived on the edge of poverty, but here they might’ve found an unlikely family working at a local diner. Also starring Richard Kind, Eve Lindley, Mark Consuelos, Katherine Reis, Judy Greer and Luke Wilson. This premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and is based on a novel of the same name. It looks like there’s some strong performances in this, with her daughter being the most memorable. ›››

Pizza delivery for Chance The Rapper! A24 has announced that they’ll be releasing a movie in the second half of 2017 titled Slice, an indie comedy about a killer taking out pizza deliver guys. The film stars mixtape master Chance The Rapper (aka Chance Bennett) and was already filmed “quietly” in Chicago over the summer, though it won’t be out until next year. The IMDb listing doesn’t even mention Chance, even though he’s named on the stylish teaser poster seen below. According to IMDb, the rest of the cast includes Will Brill and Rae Gray. This sounds like it’s going to be very fun, a comedy about pizza delivery drivers trying to stay alive and figure out who wants to get rid of all of them. The teaser is short, but at least it’s something. ›››

“Milton Mulberry Jr. was going to die. Now, you’re probably thinking: ‘what a morbid way to start a story…’” Looking for something fun to watch this Halloween? Check out this amusing new short film Dead Hearts, a “gothic bedtime story” about two young lovers that is filled with “taxidermy, Kung Fu, and biker werewolves”. Valin Shinyei stars as a young unfazed-by-death mortician along with Dalila Bela as the taxidermy-loving blind girl he falls for, and they make for an adorable couple. I shouldn’t make the obvious comparison but this definitely has the “if Wes Anderson made a horror movie” vibe, though it’s really quite charming and enjoyable. I appreciate the way the story shifts in the second half, bringing the film full-circle. ›››

“You’ve done this before…? Why do you do it?” Magnolia Pictures has released a second trailer for the B&W indie horror drama The Eyes of My Mother, timed for release on Halloween because it’s a twisted little tease that will haunt you well into the night. Diana Agostini plays “Mother” in this nasty horror about a mother who teaches her daughter to be “unfazed by death”. The film has been described as a nightmare that is so unsettling and disturbing that many who’ve seen it want to forget it but can’t. The Eyes of My Mother stars Kika Magalhães, Will Brill, Flora Diaz, Paul Nazak, Clara Wong, and Olivia Bond. There’s only one scene in this new trailer but if you listen (and look) carefully, you will figure out what’s happening. ›››

Can Marvel still make an origin story exciting? Yes. As formulaic as Marvel Studios movies have become, they can still deliver thoroughly exciting big screen entertainment. Doctor Strange is the latest in their line-up that proves with the right formula (in this case, a good thing) of talent behind and on the screen, they can pull off another vibrant introduction. I’m admittedly not that familiar with Doctor Strange – I never read any of his comics and only know what I’ve learned writing about the movie leading up to the release. After seeing the movie, I’m now a big fan. It’s the story of an arrogant, egotistical doctor who has to see the world differently, figuring out how he can still contribute to the greater good even though he can no longer heal people with his hands. Beyond that, the visuals are spectacular and it’s worth seeing for them alone. ›››

“We’re looking at the first proof of life beyond Earth.” Sony has unveiled a trailer for a new sci-fi thriller titled Life, about a discovery on the space station that goes awry. This movie kind of came out of nowhere, I didn’t know they were even making this, and it has one helluva cast. Jake Gyllenhaal stars along with Ryan Reynolds, Rebecca Ferguson, Hiroyuki Sanada, Ariyon Bakare, and Olga Dihovichnaya. They play a crew on the space station who discover a life form on a rogue satellite, but when they take a closer look not all is as it seems. Yes this definitely looks like Gravity meets The Thing, but I’m still curious to check it out. The big twist halfway in seems crazy fun, and I’m always down for more cool space movies. ›››

It’s just a drawing, it can’t harm anyone, right? One more horror short film to feature before the end of the month. This one is titled The Drawing, made by a handful of horror fans on their own time and with their own money. The Drawing stars Clarke Wolfe (host of Collider Nightmares) as a woman who comes across a random monster drawing while out jogging. It’s directed by Jason Brown of 1A Plate Productions, with a script written by Micah Roland. It’s just a simple, fun, entertaining little horror short to get you in the mood for Halloween. I also dig the poster they made for it, seen below, created by artist Ted Bracewell. Watch out. ›››

“Welcome to the house of the Dead Men.” Gravitas Ventures has debuted an official trailer for the horror thriller City of Dead Men, set mostly at an eerie psychiatric hospital in Colombia. The horror film stars Diego Boneta (from “Scream Queens” and Rock of Ages) as an American tourist who ends up in the town of Medellin in Colombia, befriending a local woman (played by Maria Mesa) who introduces him to “group of young misfits” that call themselves the “Dead Men”. The leader of the group is Jacob, played by Jackson Rathbone, a mysterious figure who brings the newcomer to their home at an abandon psychiatric hospital for children on the outskirts of the city. Of course, things get weird and he starts to feel the presence of the kids. It’s hard to tell what’s going on in this, and it seems like it may be a big mess, but give it a shot anyway. ›››

From the looks of it, this is going to be one of the highlights of 2017. A very short, 30-second teaser trailer has debuted online for Kong: Skull Island, the brand new King Kong movie hitting theaters next year. Jordan Vogt-Roberts directs this adventure to Kong Island, telling a new origin of King Kong, where they encounter the giant ape and try to take him out with weapons. But we all know it will take more than that. Tom Hiddleston and Brie Larson star with a cast including Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, John C. Reilly, Tian Jing, Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell, John Ortiz, Thomas Mann, Shea Wigham, Toby Kebbell and Tian Jing. There isn’t much new footage revealed in this teaser, and I still prefer the first US teaser more, but I’m looking forward to this film and any new glimpse we get is exciting. ›››

“This is why I hate musical theater.” A trailer has debuted for an indie comedy about the opening night of a Broadway show titled simply Opening Night. The film stars Topher Grace as a failed Broadway singer who is now working as a stage manager on a big Broadway show that is about to open. Everything that could go wrong backstage seems to have gone wrong and more. This is pretty much the polar opposite of Birdman, which was also about a Broadway show’s opening night and things going wrong. In addition to Grace, the eclectic ensemble cast includes Alona Tal, Taye Diggs, Rob Riggle, Anne Heche, Paul Scheer, J.C. Chasez, Lesli Margherita, Lauren Lapkus and Brian Huskey. This actually doesn’t look seem that bad, there’s some genuine humor found within, especially for those familiar with the stage world. Have fun. ›››
