“Under no circumstances whatsoever are you to physically assault the prisoners in any way.” IFC Films has debuted the trailer for The Stanford Prison Experiment, an adaptation of the seminal psychological experiment conducted in the early 70s. The movie tries to replicate and tell the full story without holding back. The impressive ensemble cast includes: Billy Crudup, Ezra Miller, Michael Angarano, Tye Sheridan, Thomas Mann, Keir Gilchrist, Johnny Simmons & Olivia Thirlby. All of them give great performances, which is what makes this such a great film to watch. It truly is so unsettling and disturbing at times you forget you’re watching a movie, and just hope everyone makes it out okay. Give this trailer a look. ›››

Everyone once in a while I’ll come across some marketing material that really impresses me. Even if the film doesn’t look good, or the rest of the material is off, there may be one shining example of excellence and it’s worth pointing out. This is an example of an excellent poster. SlashFilm has debuted the new poster for Advantageous, an indie sci-fi drama from first-time filmmaker Jennifer Phang. The film unfortunately got terrible buzz at Sundance (I actually skipped it despite having a ticket thanks to warnings from multiple friends) but this poster has made me interested once again. I still may check it out. I like the design, the cityscape and background, it’s sleek and eye-catching which is good for indie films that need extra attention. ›››

“You have nothing to lose!” Broad Green Pictures has debuted the official trailer for Break Point, a tennis comedy not to be confused with Point Break, the remake due in theaters this December (which looks just awful). Break Point is a totally different kind of film starring J.K. Simmons as well as Jeremy Sisto, David Walton, Amy Smart, Joshua Rush, Vincent Ventresca, Chris Parnell, Adam Devine. The film is about estranged brothers who team up to take on a tennis grand slam tournament, with their family in tow. It doesn’t look half bad, another sports triumph family comedy that has its sweet moments. Enjoy! ›››

Like nothing you’ve seen be-fur… Disney Animation has debuted the first teaser trailer for Zootopia, their newest movie. It’s more of an introduction to the world and the main characters that we’ll be following. Mainly a “fast-talking” fox and Zootopia’s top-cop bunny, who cross paths and of course learn to become friends even though they start out as enemies. The fox, Nick Wilde, is voiced by Jason Bateman, who provides the narration in this teaser, and the rabbit, Judy Hopps, is voiced by Ginnifer Goodwin. This is a cute little teaser and unique intro for this film, but I wish we would actually see more of the world and the story. But I guess that will come in more trailers down the line. For now, take a look at this Zootopia intro. ›››

Just as the dinosaurs dominated the planet until 66 million years ago, the Jurassic Park series is king when it comes to putting these extinct creatures on film. This has been the case ever since 1993 when Steven Spielberg’s original film swept through that Summer’s box office. It only took two sequels before the bloom was decidedly knocked off the rose, but don’t think a few missteps will put a heavy-hitter such as this on the franchise endangered species list. With the latest, Jurassic World directed by Colin Trevorrow, the park is back open, the dinosaurs are roaming once again, and the fodder park vacationers are getting lined up for lunch having the time of their lives. What could possibly go wrong that hasn’t gone wrong already? ›››

“There’s got to be a reason for this…!” Open Road Films has unveiled the trailer for Rock the Kasbah, starring Bill Murray as a music manager who gets lost in Afghanistan, and ends up finding a young Afghani girl to compete in their version of American Idol. This trailer looks and plays a lot like a smart Barry Levinson comedy, because it is a Barry Levinson comedy! In addition to Murray, Bruce Willis, Zooey Deschanel, Kate Hudson and Scott Caan show up, too. This actually looks like quite a bit of fun, but not in a slapstick hit-each-other-in-the-nuts way, in a this-guy-is-nuts and he’s fun to watch way. Give it a look. ›››

“America teaming up with Russia – doesn’t sound too friendly.” Warner Bros has debuted a kick ass new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s The Man from U.N.C.L.E., his updated new take on the classic TV show. Henry Cavill stars as Napoleon Solo, Armie Hammer as Illya Kuryakin, as two spies who must work together to stop an organization from building a nuclear weapon. The huge cast in this includes Alicia Vikander, Elizabeth Debicki, Hugh Grant, Jared Harris, Christian Berkel and a few others. It looks like sooo much fun, Guy Ritchie just letting loose on the spy genre. I think this is a much better, much tighter, much more awesomely entertaining trailer than the first one. And I’m really looking forward to seeing this. Enjoy! ›››

Briefly: 20th Century Fox has announced a release date shift in their fall schedule, moving up the release of one of our most anticipated movies coming up later this year. Ridley Scott’s The Martian has been moved up from Thanksgiving to October 2nd, the same early October slot that Gravity opened in two years ago. The first official trailer just debuted and it looks fantastic, with Matt Damon starring as NASA astronaut Mark Watney, who gets stranded alone on a mission to Mars. The Martian is taking over the release spot for Fox’s Victor Frankenstein, starring James McAvoy and Daniel Radcliff. That film will now be released at Thanksgiving instead. The Martian is the one I’m much more excited about, but both might be worth seeing.

This is just perfect. Director Paul Feig has revealed on Twitter early casting news for the new all-female Ghostbusters movie he’s currently working on. Feig has announced that Chris Hemsworth, the God of Thunder Thor himself!, will be playing the receptionist in Ghostbusters. Our presumption is this means he’s taking on the same role that Annie Potts played as Janine in the original films, which is a perfect swap of the character. Mostly because Hemsworth is becoming funnier (did you see the Vacation trailer?), and yet he’s still a talented actor who can take on challenging roles like Rush and In the Heart of the Sea. And because we know Feig is great breaking down usually badass actors, like Jason Statham in Spy. See the tweet below. ›››
