“I’m like anybody else. It’s just my life that was a little bit different.” Grasshopper Films has released the official US trailer for an acclaimed Brazilian indie film titled Araby, originally titled Arábia in Portuguese. The film played at numerous big film festivals last year, and is a James Joyce-inspired Brazilian road movie. The film follows Andre, a young boy living in an industrial neighborhood in Ouro Preto, Brazil, near an old aluminum factory. One day he finds a notebook from one of the factory workers, which sets him off on a journey unlike any he has been on before. The film stars Murilo Caliari, Aristides de Sousa, Gláucia Vandeveld, Renata Cabral, and Renan Rovida. This looks like a very contemplative, engaging film that might offer up some unique and important wisdom about life. I quite like the music they use in this trailer. ›››

“It’s a little early to be so paranoid, don’t you think?” Gravitas Ventures has debuted an official trailer for an indie horror film titled 14 Cameras, a sequel to the “critically acclaimed” horror 13 Cameras that was first released in 2015. This follow-up is about a family that checks into a summer house for a vacation, only to soon discover that a series of spy cams have been installed by the nasty, creepy owner “documenting their most intimate moments and live-streaming them to the dark web.” The cast of this horror includes Neville Archambault, Amber Midthunder, Chelsea Edmundson, Brytnee Ratledge, Brianne Moncrief. This looks like every cliche and freaky spy cam horror trope thrown into one boring film. Really not for me. ›››

“He’s waited for this night. He’s waited for me.” Universal has released the first trailer for the new take on the Halloween horror franchise, titled simply Halloween (again). This highly anticipated sequel brings back Jamie Lee Curtis, who starred in the original 1978 film by John Carpenter as high school student Laurie Strode. At the helm of this new Halloween is filmmaker David Gordon Green (Pineapple Express, Your Highness, Prince Avalanche, Joe, Stronger), who co-wrote the screenplay with Danny McBride. The cast of this new one also includes Judy Greer, Virginia Gardner, Will Patton, Toby Huss, Miles Robbins, Jefferson Hall, Haluk Bilginer, Andi Matichak, with Nick Castle (who also starred in the original 1978 film) as Michael Myers. We don’t know much about the plot, except that it directly ties to the first film and is about Myers returning to home again. It’s a scary first look at this return of the horror icon. ›››

“Lying to everyone is difficult – but my life depends on keeping the two worlds separate.” Vertical Ent. has debuted the first official trailer for a spy thriller titled Damascus Cover, starring Jonathan Rhys Meyers as an undercover agent working for the Mossad. He is sent to Syria to smuggle a chemical weapons scientist out of the country, but encounters many problems along the way including love and treason. The cast also includes Olivia Thirlby, John Hurt (before he passed away), Navid Negahban, Tsahi Halevi, Jürgen Prochnow, Igal Naor and Wolf Kahler. This looks like a fairly typical spy romance mystery thriller, with some big twists and nefarious characters. I’m curious, but not completely sold on it yet. Take a look below. ›››

“This is a problem, I assume?” “One of many.” Saban Films has revealed an official trailer for a romantic thriller titled Siberia, one of the latest films starring the one-and-only Keanu Reeves. The film follows an American diamond merchant who travels to Russia and goes to a small Siberian town, where he falls for a woman who owns a cafe. “As their passion builds, so does the treacherous world of the diamond trade from which he is unable to extricate himself. Both collide as the American man desperately looks for escape in a world with no exit.” The film’s cast includes Pasha Lychnikoff, Ana Ularu, Aleks Paunovic, Veronica Ferres, and Molly Ringwald. If you’re interested in this, it will be in theaters in July this summer, so not too long of a wait. Perhaps that’s the best time to watch a romantic thriller set in the colds of Siberia, right? ›››

“Robin was like nothing I’d ever seen.” HBO has debuted an official trailer for Robin Williams: Come Inside My Mind, made by doc filmmaker Marina Zenovich (of Richard Pryor: Omit the Logic, Water & Power: A California Heist). This doc originally premiered at the Sundance Film Festival this year. It’s a loving tribute to the late Robin Williams, a comedic mastermind and beloved actor, who touched all of our hearts in some way through his work, before passing away in 2014. The doc features new interviews with Lewis Black, Billy Crystal, Pam Dawber, Whoopi Goldberg, Eric Idle, David Letterman, Steve Martin, David Steinberg, Zak Williams, and more. It also has tons of archival footage that covers his entire life and career. I saw this at Sundance, and while it is deeply moving and heartfelt, it’s a more straightforward doc and not as clever or unique as I was hoping. That said, it’s worth seeing just to celebrate Robin Williams once again. ›››

“I’m nothing without the attention…” Gravitas has debuted an official trailer for an indie film titled Broken Star, the feature directorial debut of filmmaker Dave Schwep. The psychological thriller stars Analeigh Tipton as a young, ambitious actress who will stop at nothing to become famous, however things don’t go as planned. Abandoned by her friends and family and with her career in jeopardy, starlet Markey Marlowe is sequestered in a duplex with a reclusive landlord who just may be more dangerous than she is. The full cast includes Tyler Labine, Lauren Bowles, Monique Coleman, Natasha Loring, Alex Lombard, and Josh Davis. This looks like an intense thriller about an obsessive starlet and crazy landlord in Los Angeles, but it doesn’t seem there’s much more than that going on here. Might be worth a watch – take a look below. ›››

“We are no longer safe here. We all have to disappear…” Universal has launched the first trailer for How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World, the latest sequel in the animated series from DreamWorks Animation. The story continues where it left off after the second movie, following Hiccup as the village chief and Toothless as the dragon as leader of his own kind. As both ascend, the darkest threat they’ve yet faced—as well as the appearance of a female Night Fury—will test the bonds of their relationship like never before. The film’s voice cast features Jay Baruchel, America Ferrera, Cate Blanchett, Kit Harington, Craig Ferguson, and F. Murray Abraham. This is described as the “culmination” of the HTTYD series, and it looks like an epic grand finale. There’s some jaw-dropping footage here and it looks delightful, I’m 100% in. ›››

“This is about temptation. There’s right and wrong.” Aviron Pictures has released the official trailer for a film titled Serenity, not to be confused with the sci-fi feature of the same name based on the “Firefly” TV series. This Serenity is the latest movie from British screenwriter/director Steven Knight (Redemption, Locke) and it’s about a mysterious fishing boat captain, played by Matthew McConaughey. It’s described as a “daringly original, sexy, stylized thriller.” The mysterious past of this fishing boat skipper living in the Caribbean comes back to haunt him, ensnaring his life in a new reality that may not be what it all seems. The full cast of Serenity includes Anne Hathaway, Jason Clarke, Djimon Hounsou, Jeremy Strong, Diane Lane, Kenneth Fok, Robert Hobbs, and Rafael Sayegh. This looks very surreal and dream-like, with some odd bloody moments hidden within. I’m very curious, though not sure what to make of it yet. ›››

“Are you not Lisbeth Salander – the righter of wrongs?” Sony has debuted the first official trailer for the latest film in David Fincher’s English-language version of The Girl in the Dragon Tattoo series, continuing with the sequel The Girl in the Spider’s Web. However, they went back to the drawing board and re-cast Lisbeth Salander and found a new director, Uruguayan filmmaker Fede Alvarez (of the Evil Dead remake), to steer this ship. The Girl in the Spider’s Web stars Claire Foy as the new Lisbeth, hacker extraordinaire, and Swedish actor Sverrir Gudnason as her cohort Mikael Blomkvist. The film’s full cast includes Sylvia Hoeks, Lakeith Stanfield, Stephen Merchant, Vicky Krieps, Cameron Britton, and Claes Bang from The Square. This doesn’t look so bad, which is a relief. Even though Fincher has stepped away and it doesn’t have the same feel, it still looks very cool. The brutal opening scene will definitely get your attention. ›››
