“This mission requires that we stay cool.” GVN Releasing has debuted the official US trailer for a conspiracy thriller titled just Armed, which will finally be available in theaters + on VOD starting this September. The film is written, directed by, and stars Afro-Mexican actor Mario Van Peebles, who plays a US Marshall struggling to put his life together after a raid gone wrong. A colleague reappears in his life and explains all of the survivors of his unit are suffering the same symptoms and there may be a larger conspiracy at hand. Also starring Ryan Guzman, Columbus Short, Jemma Dallender, Laz Alonso, and William Fichtner. From the looks of it, this has way more action than is necessary for this story, plus way too much intensity. ›››

“I can’t send you back… Look, these equations – they’re still unsolved!” Gravitas Ventures has released an official trailer for a time travel indie romance titled Another Time, from filmmaker Thomas Hennessy. The film seems to be a riff on About Time and The Time Traveler’s Wife, but looks nowhere near as good as those two films. The story follows a man who travels back in time for a chance at love, who meets a woman who might be the one, even though she’s not the original one he wants. Of course. Justin Hartley (from “This Is Us”) stars as Eric, along with Arielle Kebbel, James Kyson, Chrishell Stause, Mark Valley, Jake McLaughlin, Alan Pietruszewski, and Tucker Smallwood. I can’t even begin to describe how terrible this looks, everything about it seems so awful and repellent. Thankfully the trailer is free to watch. ›››

“This girl can drive!” Disney has revealed a new 60-second sneak preview (aka TV trailer) for the animated sequel Ralph Breaks the Internet: Wreck-It Ralph 2. The footage introduces us to the “Slaughter Race”, and the character of Shank, the gritty, leather-clad street-racing star voiced by Gal Gadot, of course. John C. Reilly returns as the voice of Ralph, the “bad guy” who is really a good guy, from the first Wreck-It Ralph released in 2012. This time he follows Vanellope, voiced again by Sarah Silverman, into the internet and there they meet the “netizens”, getting in all kinds of trouble and, as the title says, they wind up breaking the internet. The full cast features Taraji P. Henson, Kelly Macdonald, Kristen Bell, Mandy Moore, Alan Tudyk, Jane Lynch, Idina Menzel, Jack McBrayer, and Jodi Benson. This trailer also has a fun moment with Princess Merida, the main character from Pixar’s Scottish fairytale Brave. Buckle up. ›››

“Oh no… I think I cut myself!” Netflix has released another official trailer for their comedy The Package, which is now available, the latest film from Funny or Die filmmaker Jake Szymanski (Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates). The wacky, stupid comedy is about a group of teenage friends who go on a spring break camping trip, but an accident causes them to change their plans in hopes of saving their friend. Yeah, it’s dumb and made for teenagers to get drunk and laugh at. The full cast for this includes Daniel Doheny, Geraldine Viswanathan, Sadie Calvano, Luke Spencer Roberts, Eduardo Franco, Michael Eklund, Gary Jones, Alexander Calvert, Sugar Lyn Beard, and Blake Anderson. This looks so, so bad and I don’t even know why Netflix is pushing it with two full trailers, but here we go anyway. Have at it. ›››

“The church would rather ignore a miracle than validate a sham.” Music Box Films has released an official US trailer for an indie religious drama title The Apparition, which premiered at a few minor film festivals earlier this year. The latest film from French filmmaker Xavier Giannoli (of When I Was a Singer, In the Beginning, Superstar, Marguerite), the story is about a journalist who is sent by the Vatican to investigate a young girl claiming to be visited by the Virgin Mary. “Jacques gradually uncovers the hidden motivations and pressures at work and sees his beliefs system profoundly shaken.” Vincent Lindon stars as Jacques, and the cast includes Galatéa Bellugi, Patrick d’Assumçao, Anatole Taubman, Elina Löwensohn, Claude Lévèque, Gérard Dessalles, Bruno Georis, Alicia Hava, as well as Candice Bouchet. Even though the title makes this seem like a horror, it’s much more of a religious thriller with some unique twists. ›››

After seeing Steven Spielberg’s Jaws as a teenager, Steve Alten went straight to his local public library and checked out every book he could find on great white sharks. In those texts, he stumbled upon a black-and-white photo (seen here) of scientists seated in the massive, reconstructed jaw of a megalodon — the prehistoric cousin of the Great White shark, believed to have been extinct for more than two million years. The image of a 75-foot-long shark that could swallow a Volkswagen whole never left Alten’s mind, and 22 years later he published his first novel, Meg: A Novel of Deep Terror, a science-fiction horror story about a prehistoric megalodon shark that rises from the depths of the Mariana Trench to hunt once again. ›››

“If you stay curious, then you can see the world however you want.” Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for an indie drama titled The Kindergarten Teacher, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It won the U.S. Dramatic Directing Award at Sundance, and will play at the Toronto Film Festival next month. Described as a “tense psychological thriller”, this film is actually a remake of an Israeli film also titled The Kindergarten Teacher. The story follows a teacher who gets obsessed with figuring out how to support and accentuate a gifted young boy who recites poems out of nowhere. Maggie Gyllenhaal stars, with Parker Sevak as the boy, plus Anna Baryshnikov, Rosa Salazar, Michael Chernus, and Gael Garcia Bernal. This is a very compelling, thought-provoking film with some strong performances, and it played to great reviews at Sundance. I really hope it finds an audience and begins many discussions. ›››

“Next summer – the fear goes deeper.” Entertainment Studios Motion Pictures has debuted the first teaser trailer for 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter, shamelessly riding on the coattails of this year’s shark movie The Meg, in theaters this weekend. This was originally supposed to be titled 48 Meters Down, obviously enough, but they got cold feet and have decided to call it 47 Meters Down: The Next Chapter – which is an unbelievably lame title for a sequel. The cast hasn’t been revealed yet. The film’s director says he “would describe it as The Descent underwater,” about “six or seven people trapped in the caves in Brazil, an underwater city.” With an angry shark, of course. This looks so awfully cheesy, I don’t even care to see more. ›››

“It’s a gateway – and it leads straight, down, to hell.” Sony Pictures UK has debuted the first full UK trailer for a horror comedy titled Slaughterhouse Rulez, the latest from director Crispian Mills (A Fantastic Fear of Everything). The film is also the latest featuring both Nick Frost and Simon Pegg, the duo best known from Edgar Wright’s Cornetto trilogy. Slaughterhouse Rulez is about an illustrious British boarding school that becomes a bloody battleground when a mysterious sinkhole appears at a nearby fracking site unleashing unspeakable horror. It’s going to be bloody. Starring Asa Butterfield, Finn Cole, Hermione Corfield, Michael Sheen, with Frost and Pegg. This reminds me a bit of Battle Royale, but packed with British humor and rich yuppies instead of crazy Japanese gore. Looks like fun. Prepare to get Slaughtered… ›››

“How do you deal with this? You’re never going to be able to un-see what you saw.” Uh oh. Briarcliff Ent. has unveiled the first trailer for the new documentary by Michael Moore, titled simply Fahrenheit 11/9, a spin on the title of his Oscar-winning documentary Fahrenheit 9/11 released in 2004. This time Moore digs deep into the American culture to ask two provocative questions about the “Trump era”: How the f**k did we get here, and how the f**k do we get out? I’m honestly very curious to see how Moore tackles this, as he has been very vocal on Twitter the last few years, talking about how crazy everything has become. The film will premiere at the Toronto Film Festival first, then they’ve already set a late September release date in theaters nationwide for everyone to see this and get riled up. Not much is shown in the trailer, but get ready. ›››
