Whoa! No one was expecting this, but if you want to see more footage, here’s your chance. Disney has debuted a Japanese trailer for Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by J.J. Abrams. This trailer is structured similar to the other final trailer, but has totally new footage scattered throughout. Some amazingly beautiful shots, some more action shots, more jaw-dropping shots. If you don’t want to see anything else from Star Wars before it’s out, skip this, otherwise dive in. John Boyega stars as Finn, along with Daisy Ridley as Rey, Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, Adam Driver as Kyle Ren, Harrison Ford as Han, Carrie Fisher as Leia, Peter Mayhew as Chewie, Andy Serkis as Snokes, Domhnall Gleeson as General Hux, plus Gwendoline Christie as Captain Phasma, and many others.

“Melvin is not like other people…” “What you’ve got is a gift.” Screen Media has unleashed a trailer for the dark comedy American Hero, about a guy who has telekinetic abilities, but doesn’t use them for much other than to fuel his addiction to drugs and alcohol. After barely surviving one day, he has a change of heart and realizes he has to fight back. Stephen Dorff plays the telekinetic, Melvin, and he seems like perfect casting for this kind of role. Though it’s hard not to mention how much this reminds me of that Will Smith movie Hancock, or James Gunn’s Super or even Chronicle a bit. This could actually be entertaining after all. ›››

It’s time! Disney has debuted the first official teaser trailer for Alice Through the Looking Glass. the Alice in Wonderland sequel being directed by James Bobin. Actress Mia Wasikowska returns to play Alice, and Johnny Depp returns as the Mad Hatter, in this adventure that takes us deeper into Underland, and back in Time. In addition, Anne Hathaway and Helena Bonham Carter return, with the voices of Alan Rickman, Stephen Fry, Michael Sheen and Timothy Spall. The new characters this time around: Zanik Hightopp (played by Rhys Ifans), the Mad Hatter’s father; and Time himself (played by Sacha Baron Cohen), a peculiar creature who is part human, part clock.

This scoundrel returns December 18th. And so does Leia. Plus we get to meet a young, new soon-to-be Jedi, another dark side guy, and a few more others the new Star Wars hits theaters in December. A set of five new character posters have debuted online for Lucasfilm’s Star Wars: The Force Awakens, directed by J.J. Abrams. The main five posters are for the main five characters – Han and Leia, played by Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher, of course. Plus the new ones: John Boyega as Finn, Daisy Ridley as Rey, and Adam Driver (under mask) as Kylo Ren. I really love these designs – only one eye showing, the other half of their face covered up by their weapon of choice – they send a very powerful message. Only six more weeks to go. ›››

One of my favorite filmmakers working today is Derek Cianfrance, behind the films Blue Valentine and The Place Beyond the Pines. Cianfrance’s next feature is an adaptation of M.L. Stedman’s novel called The Light Between Oceans, about a lighthouse keeper and his wife living off the coast of Western Australia raising a baby they find. Alicia Vikander stars with Michael Fassbender as the married couple on the island, and the cast also includes Rachel Weisz, Emily Barclay and a few others. This first look photo of Vikander standing on a bluff over the ocean is a gorgeous photo and the only shot we’ve seen from this so far. This is a film I have been tracking closely and I’m already impatient to see, don’t even need any footage. ›››

It’s happening! It’s really, really happening. Duncan Jones is going to make his movie Mute, his passion sci-fi project, while we wait for Warcraft to hit theaters (in June 2016). Earlier in the year we posted rumors about financing and deals coming together so that it actually works out; now it’s official. Duncan has started casting and they’ve officially announced two names for Mute – Paul Rudd and Alexander Skarsgard. Skarsgard will play Leo Beiler, a mute bartender. He goes on the search for the missing girl that means everything to him, leading him to an “odd pair of American surgeons”, one of whom will be played by Rudd. ›››

“We have no jurisdiction in this country, we’re not even supposed to be here.” Pack some explosives and ammo, it’s time to move out. Paramount has debuted a full-length trailer for Michael Bay’s 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, the action-packed take on the Benghazi incident and the secret ex-military security team that goes in hoping to save American lives and return home safely. The ensemble cast includes: Pablo Schreiber, John Krasinski, Toby Stephens, David Denman, Max Martini, James Badge Dale, David Costabile, and Dominic Fumusa. This is most definitely a Michael Bay movie, with action reminiscent of Bad Boys in some scenes. I’m sort of curious to check it out, but barely. Lock ‘n load. ›››
