“That’s the way it is.” Forager Films has debuted the first trailer for an indie drama called Little Sister, which premiered at the SXSW Film Festival and also played at BAMcinemaFest this summer. From writer/director Zach Clark, the film is about a young nun who returns home after her brother comes back from Iraq and rediscovers her youth as a goth girl. Addison Timlin stars as Colleen, with a cast including Ally Sheedy, Peter Hedges, Keith Poulson and Barbara Crampton. This eccentric little indie has some comedy to it, although reviews state it’s “definitely a drama first: a tough familial drama consisting of broken souls seeking an avenue to mend fences.” I’m not sure what to make of this, but it looks good. The description says it’s “a schmaltz-free, pathos-drenched, feel good movie for the little goth girl inside us all.” ›››

“Max – you can use your energy in many different ways: you can run faster, be stronger.” Another toy movie! Open Road Films has debuted the official US trailer for the Max Steel movie, adapted from one of Mattel’s popular line of toys. The movie is about the adventures of teenager Max McGrath, played by Ben Winchell, and his alien companion Steel – when they combine powers they become “Max Steel”. The movie also features Josh Brener, Ana Villafane, Andy Garcia, Maria Bello and Mike Doyle. The villain seems to be some other weird alien force that comes after Steel and the people of Earth. This is some serious sci-fi and I’m glad they don’t hold back in that aspect, but the rest of it seems a bit too cheesy for my tastes. I have no connection to the toys, but I kind of wish this looked better than it does, but alas what can you do. ›››

Disney has launched a fun short film for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story that is actually a commercial for the new toys and collectibles from this upcoming spin-off movie. Some have described it as similar to “Robot Chicken”, with various action figures and toys and Lego minifigs being animated with stop-motion and other trickery in an adventure to steal the Death Star plans – just like the movie! No surprise there. The focus is on the badass new hero, Jyn Erso, played by Felicity Jones in the film. Director Krennic, played by Ben Mendelsohn, also makes an appearance as does the new droid K-2SO. This short was actually made by fans, and they’ve also launched a contest for more fan-made short films – find out more here & have fun. ›››

“This is a damn suicide mission…” “Full speed ahead.” A new international trailer has debuted for the film USS Indianapolis: Men of Courage, about the tragic sinking of the USS Indianapolis during World War II. Nicolas Cage stars as Captain Charles B. McVay, who was court-mailed for “failing to zigzag” as the Captain of this ship, then exonerated more than half a century later. The full cast includes Tom Sizemore, Thomas Jane, Matt Lanter, Weronika Rosati, Brian Presley and others. This trailer is extensive and explains most of the story, including attempting to survive in shark-infested waters after sinking. You can still see the first trailer here for something shorter, otherwise dive in to this epic, full 3 minute trailer below. ›››

“Nutjobs, I can handle. My specialty.” Sony Classics has debuted an official US trailer for Paul Verhoeven’s latest film, a shocking but remarkable thriller called Elle, starring French actress Isabelle Huppert as the head of a video game company. The plot, and I’m not even exaggerating, involves her being raped in her own home by a masked intruder. She tries to figure out who it was and hunt him down, in return, and teach him a lesson. Also featuring Laurent Lafitte, Anne Consigny, Charles Berling, Virginie Efira, Judith Magre and Christian Berkel. I saw this film at the Cannes Film Festival when it first premiered and it’s fantastic – dark and devious and kind of messed up, but actually really fun and funny. Huppert is totally amazing and kicks ass in this role. It’s sure to spark some controversy, but it’s also a damn fine film. Enjoy. ›››
