“Here we go… Now we’re cookin’!” A24 has launched the first official red band trailer for Ben Wheatley’s new movie Free Fire, which just premiered at midnight at the Toronto Film Festival last night. It’s about an arms deal gone wrong, which turns into an all-out gunfight in a warehouse. This ensemble action movie stars Sharlto Copley, Armie Hammer, Brie Larson, Cillian Murphy, Noah Taylor, Sam Riley, Michael Smiley and Jack Reynor. From the screening last night, critics have described it as “insane” and a “real-time pistol opera” that is so much fun, saying it’s a entire film about that scene where the characters get pinned down in a gun fight. This looks awesome! Looking forward to seeing this myself. Fire it up below. ›››

“Do you want to kiss me?” Array has debuted a new official trailer for an indie drama called Honeytrap, which premiered at the London Film Festival back in 2014 and is finally getting released in US theaters this year thanks to Ava DuVernay’s new distribution company. The film stars Jessica Sula as a 15-year-old girl in high school in the UK who, after a bullying incident, decides to “transform herself inside and out.” She then gets caught up in various romances with older men. Also starring Lucien Laviscount, Naomi Ryan, and Ntonga Mwanza. This looks like a unique coming-of-age drama with some strong performances, but not sure if it’s worth checking out in theaters or not. The music they use in this trailer is lovely. Take a look. ›››

“I signed up to fight in the war. I went away a soldier, I came home an outlaw.” Warner Bros has finally debuted the first official trailer for Live by Night, both written and directed by (and starring) Ben Affleck. The film is set in Boston in the Prohibition Era and centers around a group of individuals and their dealings in the world of organized crime. Affleck stars as Joe Coughlin, the youngest son of a Boston police captain, who becomes an outlaw. The full cast features Scott Eastwood, Elle Fanning, Zoe Saldana, Sienna Miller, Chris Sullivan, Anthony Michael Hall, Brendan Gleeson, Titus Welliver, Chris Messina, Chris Cooper and Derek Mears. This looks totally awesome. Lots of guns, booze, criminals, and some stunning cinematography to bring the sets to life. Looks like Affleck is getting better and better as a director. ›››

“You could taste the energy of a group thrilled to be together, on an island that doesn’t exist anywhere else.” By now you should’ve already seen Laika’s Kubo and the Two Strings, as the film has been playing in theaters for a few weeks and we’ve been singing its praises ever since. In honor of the release, Universal partnered with a filmmaker network called “The Smalls” and brought a group of animators to their studio in Portland, Oregon. After visiting and getting a look at their process, these four filmmakers put together their own short films inspired by Kubo and the Two Strings and they’re wonderful (hosted by Little White Lies). Beyond just being impressive creations of their own, it’s exciting to see how one of the year’s best movies is inspiring people in different ways. This movie is seriously stellar and this should be yet another push to go see it if you haven’t already (or to go see it again, because why not!). Check out the shorts embedded below. ›››

“I’ve got the sinking sensation again…” With the Toronto Film Festival now underway, a teaser trailer has debuted for Buster’s Mal Heart, one of the many indie films showing there over the next week and a half. Directed by Sarah Adina Smith, and starring Rami Malek as a “troubled man on the run from fate”, this short teaser doesn’t reveal much but it definitely is a very intriguing first look. The cast includes DJ Qualls, Kate Lyn Sheil, Lin Shaye, Toby Huss, Mark Kelly and Teresa Yenque. Malek (who is breaking out thanks to “Mr. Robot” though we love him in The Master, Ain’t Them Bodies Saints and Short Term 12) looks great with a full beard and long hair in this, and I’m curious to see how it works into the story. Enjoy. ›››
