Trailer Spotting

Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie     HD720p 28MB
Highly chaotic time travel mockumentary about a musical duo (Matt Johnson, Jay McCarrol) that is desperately failing to book a gig at the storied Toronto venue The Rivoli. When their plan goes horribly wrong, Matt and Jay accidentally travel back to the year 2008. It's also written and directed by Johnson (BlackBerry, Operation Avalanche) and McCarrol.
It's apparently based on a web series and a TV show that I'm not familiar with, but this looks very funny. An earlier teaser trailer: HD720p 22MB.

Sirat     HD720p 28MB
Apocalyptic thriller set in the Moroccan desert in which a father (Sergi López) and his son arrive at a rave deep in the mountains. They are searching for Mar — daughter and sister — who vanished months ago at one of these endless, sleepless parties. Surrounded by electronic music and a raw, unfamiliar sense of freedom, they hand out her photo again and again. Hope is fading, but they push through and follow a group of ravers heading to one last party in the desert.
Was already released in many European countries months ago, it's Spain's official Oscar entry. An earlier teaser: HD1080p 56MB.

The Bride!     HD720p 32MB
Second trailer for another unconventional dark monster horror thriller. A lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance. Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal and Penélope Cruz are also part of the cast. Directed and adapted for the screen by Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Lost Daughter).

The Wrecking Crew     HD720p 36MB
Action comedy about two estranged half-brothers (Dave Bautista, Jason Momoa) who reunite after their father's mysterious death. As they search for the truth, buried secrets reveal a conspiracy threatening to tear their family apart. Stephen Root, Morena Baccarin, Jacob Batalon, Claes Bang and Temuera Morrison are also part of the cast. Directed by Angel Manuel Soto (Blue Beetle).
That's a lot of man meat and muscles. The movie at least seems to be aware of it. Will start streaming on Amazon Prime January 28th.

Fiume o morte!     HD1080p 37MB
Documentary that's Croatia submission for Best International Feature Film. On 12 September 1919, a troop of some three hundred soldiers under the leadership of the flamboyant war loving Italian poet Gabriele D’Annunzio swooped into the Northern-Adriatic port town of Fiume, now Rijeka, wanting to annex the city to Italy. Over the course of the next 16 months, during what is regarded as one of the most bizarre militant sieges of all time his official photography team captured over 10,000 images. A century later, Croatian filmmaker Igor Bezinovic, along with some three hundred citizens, orchestrates a direct-action history lesson focused on the siege and its modern-day implications.
Looks very fascinating, bewildering and scary. It's also timely.

The Death of Robin Hood     HD720p 34MB
Action-adventure drama with a new take on an aging Robin Hood. Grappling with his past after a life of crime and murder, Wolverine Robin Hood (Hugh Jackman) finds himself gravely injured after a battle he thought would be his last. In the hands of a mysterious woman (Jodie Comer), he is offered a chance at salvation. Bill Skarsgård and Noah Jupe are also part of the cast. Written and directed by Michael Sarnoski (Pig, A Quiet Place: Day One).
Reminds me that I want to watch Robin and Marian.

The Testament of Ann Lee     HD720p 26MB
Biographical, historical musical drama about Ann Lee (Amanda Seyfried), founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers. She was the irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The movie captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements. Thomasin Mckenzie, Lewis Pullman, Tim Blake Nelson, Christopher Abbott and Stacy Martin are also part of the cast. Directed by Mona Fastvold (The World to Come) and written by Fastvold and her partner Brady Corbet, the couple responsible for The Brutalist.
Musicals and religious sects are not among my favourite topics. But the movie certainly seems unique and received very favourable festival reviews, especially praising the performance of Seyfried. A featurette about the Music & Movement of the film. And an earlier teaser trailer: HD720p 20MB.

They Will Kill You     HD720p 39MB
Redband trailer for this violent, comedic action movie in which a woman (Zazie Beetz) takes a job as a housekeeper in a NYC high-rise, unaware of the building's history of disappearances. She soon realizes the community is shrouded in mystery, causing her to survive the night at the Virgil, a demonic cult’s mysterious and twisted death-trap of a lair, before becoming their next offering. Myha’La, Paterson Joseph, Tom Felton, Heather Graham and Patricia Arquette are also part of the cast.
Looks a bit exhausting.

Hamlet     HD1080p 29MB
A reimagining of Shakespeare’s Hamlet, set in the world of a British South Asian family in contemporary London. Hamlet (Riz Ahmed) returns to London for the funeral of his father, but he is shocked when his uncle, Claudius (Art Malik), announces that he’s marrying Hamlet’s just-widowed mother (Sheeba Chaddha). After seeing his father’s ghost, who says he was murdered by Claudius, Hamlet becomes consumed by rage and revenge. Joe Alwyn, Timothy Spall and Morfydd Clark are also part of the cast.
Festival reviews are a bit mixed. But it looks visually good, and Ahmed gives another memorable performance.

Send Help     HD720p 26MB
Darkly comedic psychological thriller in which two colleagues (Rachel McAdams, Dylan O'Brien) who find themselves stranded on a deserted island after they are the only survivors of a plane crash. On the island, they must overcome past grievances and work together to survive, but ultimately, it becomes an unsettling and darkly humorous battle of wills and wits to make it out alive. Directed by Sam Raimi (Spider-Man, For Love of the Game, The Evil Dead).

The Odyssey     HD720p 20MB   HD1080p 34MB
First online available teaser trailer for the latest movie directed by Christopher Nolan (Inception, Oppenheimer, Interstellar), to be in theaters July 17th. It's his take on Homer's epic.

Extensive cast list includes Tom Holland, Anne Hathaway, Zendaya, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Charlize Theron, Benny Safdie, Elliot Page, John Leguizamo, Himesh Patel, Bill Irwin, Jon Bernthal, Mia Goth and Corey Hawkins.

Disclosure Day     HD720p 26MB
First trailer for the latest movie directed by Steven Spielberg (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, War of the Worlds), to be in theatres next June. The tag line/summary reads: If you found out we weren’t alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? Cast members include Emily Blunt, Josh O’Connor, Colin Firth, Eve Hewson, Colman Domingo and Wyatt Russell.
An effective teaser trailer.

The Sheep Detectives     HD720p 40MB
Comedic crime mystery about a shepherd (Hugh Jackman) who reads detective novels to his beloved sheep every night, assuming they can’t possibly understand. But when a mysterious incident disrupts life on the farm, the sheep realize they must become the detectives. As they follow the clues and investigate human suspects, they prove that even sheep can be brilliant crime-solvers. Extensive (partially voice) cast includes Nicholas Braun, Nicholas Galitzine, Molly Gordon, Hong Chau, Emma Thompson, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Bryan Cranston, Chris O’Dowd, Regina Hall, Patrick Stewart, Bella Ramsey and Rhys Darby. Directed by Kyle Balda (co-directed Minions, Despicable Me 3, The Lorax).

The Housemaid     HD720p 28MB
Thriller that plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sydney Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Amanda Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous – a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Directed by Paul Feig (Bridesmaids, Jackpot!, Spy).
Not my genre, and already in theatres, but reviews for this campy, over-the-top thriller are better than I would've expected.

Animal Farm     HD1080p 42MB
Trailer for a new animated adaptation of George Orwell's novel about the dangers of communism, to be in theatres ... May 1st. A satirical allegory of revolution and power, the story traces how a movement for equality is systematically corrupted. As the pigs consolidate control, truth is erased, dissent is crushed, and the farm descends into a ruthless dictatorship. The voice cast includes Seth Rogen as Napoleon, Gaten Matarazzo as Lucky, Kieran Culkin as Squealer, Glenn Close as Freida Pilkington, Steve Buscemi as Mr. Whymper, Laverne Cox as Snowball, Woody Harrelson as Boxer, Jim Parsons as Carl, Kathleen Turner as Benjamin, and Iman Vellani as Puff and Tammy. Directed by Andy Serkis (Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle, Venom: Let There Be Carnage, Breathe).
Festival reviews (and the trailer) indicate that by trying to modernise the story it doesn't really do the story justice.

Supergirl     HD720p 29MB
First teaser trailer for another addition to the DC Comic Universe. When an unexpected and ruthless adversary strikes too close to home, Kara Zor-El, aka Supergirl (Milly Alcock), reluctantly joins forces with an unlikely companion on an epic, interstellar journey of vengeance and justice. Matthias Schoenaerts, Eve Ridley, David Krumholtz, Emily Beecham and Jason Momoa are also part of the cast. Directed by Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya, Dumb Money, Cruella).
I think I'm too old for this.

Mother Mary     HD720p 28MB
Hard to categorise musical drama in which long-buried wounds rise to the surface when iconic pop star Mother Mary (Anne Hathaway) reunites with her estranged best friend and former costume designer (Michaela Coel) on the eve of her comeback performance. Hunter Schafer, Jessica Brown Findlay, Sian Clifford and FKA Twigs are also part of the cast. Written and directed by David Lowery (The Green Knight, Pete's Dragon, The Old Man & the Gun).
Hard to say how this will turn out, which makes it at least interesting. Maybe the best reference point is keeping in mind that Lowery directed The Green Knight.

Marty Supreme     HD720p 32MB
A second trailer for the latest movie directed by Josh Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Time with his brother Benny). There's still only a general tagline that says that it's about Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet), a young man with a dream no one respects, goes to hell and back in pursuit of greatness. By that sentence you probably wouldn't have guessed it, it's about a ping-pong player with the story losely based on Marty Reisman. Gwyneth Paltrow, Odessa A'zion, Kevin O'Leary, Tyler Okonma and Fran Drescher are also part of the cast.
The trailer doesn't offer much new. But there have been some screenings for critics and their reviews highly praise the energy of the film and Chalamet's performance.

Midwinter Break     HD1080p 29MB
Relationship drama about a retired couple's (Lesley Manville, Ciarán Hinds) trip to Amsterdam that stirs up troubled memories from their past. Movie debut of British National Theatre director Polly Findlay.

OBEX     HD720p 26MB
Black-and-white surreal lo-fi fantasy film set in pre-internet 1987. Conor (Albert Birney) and his dog Sandy live a life of seclusion, lost in the slow-rendering graphics of early Macs and televisions aglow with late night horror movie marathons. But when he begins playing OBEX, a new and mysterious, state-of-the-art computer game, he finds himself trapped in a low-tech, but high-stakes analog hellscape as the line between reality and game blurs. It's also directed by Birney (Strawberry Mansion).
Looks pretty weirs. But festival reviews are very favourable.

A Private Life - Vie privée     HD1080p 22MB
Slyly comic psychological thriller in which an American psychoanalyst (Jodie Foster) in Paris, is devastated to learn that her client Paula (Virginie Efira) has taken her own life. Or has she? Visits from Paula's furious widower Simon (Mathieu Amalric) and taciturn daughter Valérie (Luàna Bajrami), along with the discovery that files have been stolen from her office, suggest that Paula may have fallen victim to foul play. Assisted by her ex-husband Gabriel (Daniel Auteuil), she undertakes some amateur sleuthing.

Pillion     HD1080p 26MB
A bit of an unusual British "rom-com" about a timid man (Harry Melling) who is swept off his feet when an enigmatic, impossibly handsome biker (Alexander Skarsgård) takes him on as his submissive.
Festival reviews are very favourable. If you would like to watch the trailer without German subtitles. And an earlier teaser trailer: HD720p 18MB.

The Magic Faraway Tree     HD1080p 39MB
Family movie based on Enid Blyton's novel about Polly (Claire Foy), Tim (Andrew Garfield) and their three children - a modern family forced to relocate to the remote English countryside. As they adapt to their new lives, the children discover a magical tree and its extraordinary and eccentric residents including treasured characters Moonface (Nonso Anozie), Silky (Nicola Coughlan), Dame Washalot (Jessica Gunning) and Saucepan Man (Dustin Demri-Burns). Rebecca Ferguson and Jennifer Saunders are also part of the cast.

The Chronology of Water     HD1080p 51MB
Intense, autobiographical drama about Lidia (Imogen Poots) who only feels whole when she’s in the water. Kicking through lap after lap, she can temporarily float free of the cold, rageful father who sexually abused her and her older sister (Thora Birch) while their apathetic mother turned away. Out of the pool, she flounders, ruining her college swimming scholarship with booze, drugs and reckless sex and lashing out contemptuously at anyone who shows her kindness. But when she joins a collaborative creative writing class led by "One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest" author and countercultural hero Ken Kesey (Jim Belushi), Lidia finds the same fluid escape in writing.
Marks the directorial debut of Kristen Stewart that was very well received this year in Cannes.

Shelter     HD720p 29MB
Action thriller about a reclusive man (Jason Statham) who rescues a young girl from a deadly storm on a remote coastal island, drawing them both into danger. Forced out of isolation, he must confront his turbulent past while protecting her, sending them on a tense journey of survival and redemption. Bill Nighy, Naomi Ackie, Harriet Walter and Daniel Mays are also part of the cast.
Doesn't look any different than about a dozen films Statham has starred in (who can keep them apart?). But it's been a while since I posted a trailer for one of his action vehicles, so I thought for a change I'll include it.

How to Make a Killing     HD1080p 54MB
Crime comedy about blue-collar Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell), disowned at birth by his obscenely wealthy family, who will stop at nothing to reclaim his inheritance, no matter how many relatives stand in his way. Margaret Qualley, Ed Harris, Topher Grace, Jessica Henwick, Bill Camp and Zach Woods are also part of the cast. Written and directed by John Patton Ford (Emily the Criminal).
Another opportunity to measure the star power of Glen Powell.

Dead Man's Wire     HD720p 36MB
Crime drama based on real events, directed by Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting, Milk, Last Days). On February 8, 1977, Tony Kiritsis (Bill Skarsgård) entered the office of Richard Hall (Dacre Montgomery), president of the Meridian Mortgage Company, and took him hostage with a sawed-off shotgun wired with a "dead man's wire" from the trigger to Tony's own neck. As the nation and turns the abductor into an outlaw folk hero, and as the media frenzy peaks, the standoff becomes a spectacle of desperation, defiance and blurred justice. Colman Domingo, Cary Elwes, Myha'la and Al Pacino are also part of the cast.

The Hunger Games: Sunrise on the Reaping     HD720p 32MB
Very early teaser trailer for another franchise extension, again directed by Francis Lawrence (The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Constantine, I Am Legend), to be in theatres November next year. It will revisit the world of Panem 24 years before the events of The Hunger Games, starting on the morning of the reaping of the 50th Hunger Games, also known as the Second Quarter Quell. Cast members include Joseph Zada, Elle Fanning, Ralph Fiennes, Jesse Plemons, Glenn Close, Kieran Culkin, Mckenna Grace, Maya Hawke, Lili Taylor, Whitney Peak and Kelvin Harrison Jr.
I don't care about this franchise, but I'm curious how much fun acting heavyweights like Fiennes, Plemons and Close will have with their roles.

Goodbye June     HD1080p 18MB
Family drama set just before Christmas, when an unexpected turn in their mother’s (Helen Mirren) health thrusts four adult siblings (Kate Winslet, Toni Collette, Andrea Riseborough, Johnny Flynn) and their exasperating father (Timothy Spall) into chaos as they navigate messy family dynamics in the face of potential loss. But their quick-witted mother, June, orchestrates her decline on her own terms — with biting humour, blunt honesty, and a lot of love. Marks the directorial debut of Winslet.
After a brief theatrical run will start streaming on Netflix on Christmas Eve.

Full trailer for the latest animated Pixar movie, to be in theatres next March.

Bobby Moynihan and Jon Hamm will also lend their voices.

Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die     HD720p 28MB
Darkly comedic sci-fi action thriller in which a man (Sam Rockwell) claiming to be from the future takes the patrons of an iconic Los Angeles diner hostage in search of unlikely recruits in a quest to save the world. Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chandhry, Tom Taylor and Juno Temple are also part of the cast. Directed by Gore Verbinski (Pirates of the Caribbean, The Mexican, Rango).
Official summary doesn't quite do the wackiness of the trailer justice. Just imagine Sam Rockwell in top Sam Rockwell form. Or a Terry Gilliam movie.

100 Nights of Hero     HD720p 27MB
Romantic fairy tale set in Darkly End, an alternate world ruled by the despotic Birdman (Richard E. Grant). Cherry (Maika Monroe) is unhappily married to Jerome (Amir El-Masry), who doesn’t want to spend time with her. Considering their ‘duty’ to produce an heir, this is worrying. The only bright spot in Cherry’s day is her maid, Hero (Emma Corrin). Hero is part of a secret society that collects stories of women who rebelled and met unjust fates, vowing their sacrifices won’t be forgotten. Because death is never far away for women here. So, when Jerome mysteriously goes on a ‘business trip’ and leaves Cherry with his flirtatious friend Manfred (Nicholas Galitzine), Hero has a bad feeling.

Wuthering Heights     HD720p 39MB
Full trailer for this romantic drama that's kind of based on Emily Brontë's novel. It's a passionate and tumultuous love story set against the backdrop of the Yorkshire moors, exploring the intense and destructive relationship between Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi) and Catherine Earnshaw (Margot Robbie). Hong Chau, Shazad Latif, Alison Oliver, Ewan Mitchell and Martin Clunes are also part of the cast. Directed by Emerald Fennell (Saltburn, Promising Young Woman).
In theatres on Valentine’s Day.

Tense psychological thriller from Turkey. Questioning the suspicious death of his mother, a university professor and his enigmatic gardener descend into a hypnotic maze of mirrors and memories. As family secrets surface and painful truths emerge, they spiral toward a devastating reckoning with the darkness lurking within us all.
The director is Iranian-Canadian, which may explain why this has become Canada's entry for Best Foreign Film. Now in limited release in the US.

Crime 101     HD720p 37MB
Crime thriller, set against the sun-bleached grit of Los Angeles, that weaves the tale of an elusive thief (Chris Hemsworth) whose high-stakes heists unfolding along the iconic 101 freeway have mystified police.

Determined to crack the case, a relentless detective (Mark Ruffalo) closes in on the operation, raising the stakes even higher. Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Nick Nolte are also part of the cast.
I hope it will turn out to be as cool as it thinks it is.

The Secret Agent - O Agente Secreto     HD720p 25MB
Political thriller set in 1977 Brazil, in which a technology expert (Wagner Moura) flees from a mysterious past and returns to his hometown of Recife in search of peace. He soon realizes that the city is far from being the refuge he seeks. Kleber Mendonça Filho won the award for Best Director, Moura was honoured as Best Actor earlier this year in Cannes. It's also Brazil's entry for Best International Feature Film.

Hamnet     HD720p 35MB
The full trailer for this heartbreaking drama about grief based on the fictional account of the novel by Maggie O’Farrell that tells the story of Agnes (Jessie Buckley) - the wife of William Shakespeare (Paul Mescal) - as she struggles to come to terms with the loss of her only son, Hamnet. A human and heart-stopping story as the backdrop to the creation of Shakespeare's most famous play, Hamlet. Emily Watson, Joe Alwyn, Jack Shalloo, Noah Jupe and David Wilmot are also part of the cast. Directed by Chloé Zhao (Nomadland, The Rider, Eternals).
Festival reviews are positive throughout. But you certainly have to be in the right mood.

Jay Kelly     HD720p 39MB
Full trailer for this drama with comedic elements in which famous movie actor Jay Kelly (George Clooney) and his devoted manager (Adam Sandler) embark on a whirlwind and unexpectedly profound journey. Both are forced to confront choices they've made, their relationships with loved ones and the legacies they'll leave behind.

Directed by Noah Baumbach (Marriage Story, Greenberg, Frances Ha), interestingly, co-written by him and Mortimer.
It's all a bit too meta-Clooney. And I say that as a fan. After a brief theatrical run in November will start streaming on Netflix December 5th.

The Love That Remains - Ástin sem eftir er     HD1080p 37MB
Comedic drama from Iceland that captures a year in the life of a family as the parents navigate their separation. Through intimate vignettes and strange occurrences, the film explores the complexities of family, love, and the impact of shared memories.
I don't know how representative it is of the film itself, but it's a very funny trailer, and festival reviews are very favourable. It's Iceland's entry for Best International Feature Film.

Father Mother Sister Brother     HD1080p 22MB
Full trailer for the latest movie written and directed by Jim Jarmusch (Ghost Dog, Paterson, Only Lovers Left Alive).

Struggling to keep up with his fast-rising debts, he is offered a lifeline by a mysterious casino employee (Fala Chen) with secrets of her own. However, in hot pursuit is a private investigator (Tilda Swinton) – ready to confront him with what he is running from.
Festival reviews indicate that there's a lot of style, but not enough substance. After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on Netflix starting October 29th. An article about Macau and the setting of the film.

Train Dreams     HD1080p 31MB
Drama based on the novella by Denis Johnson set in the Pacific Northwest. It's the moving portrait of Robert Grainier (Joel Edgerton), a logger and railroad worker who leads a life of unexpected depth and beauty in the rapidly-changing America of the early 20th Century. Felicity Jones, Kerry Condon, William H. Macy, Paul Schneider and Clifton Collins Jr. are also part of the cast, Will Patton narrates.
Probably not my kind of film, but it looks quite epic and it received highly favourable reviews. After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on Netflix November 21st.

The Twits     HD1080p 37MB
Animated film adaptation based on a children's book by Roald Dahl. Two orphans join forces with a family of magical animals to save their city from the powerful Mr. and Mrs. Twit (Johnny Vegas, Margo Martindale), the meanest, smelliest, nastiest people in the world.

Frankenstein     HD720p 27MB

After a brief theatrical run, will start streaming on Netflix November 7th.

The Mandalorian and Grogu     HD720p 19MB
First teaser trailer for another Star Wars spinoff movie, to be in theatres next May. The generic summary so far reads: Once a lone bounty hunter, Mandalorian Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu embark on an exciting new Star Wars adventure. It's probably Pedro Pascal in that armour, Sigourney Weaver will be part of the cast, Jeremy Allen White will lend his voice (I think he's the "guy" who can briefly be seen at the 0:51 mark). Directed by Jon Favreau (Iron Man, The Jungle Book, The Lion King).
Even though I know none of the characters I get the feeling I've already seen the movie before.

The Bride!     HD720p 24MB
Trailer for another unconventional dark monster horror thriller. A lonely Frankenstein (Christian Bale) travels to 1930s Chicago to ask groundbreaking scientist Dr. Euphronious (Annette Bening) to create a companion for him. The two revive a murdered young woman and The Bride (Jessie Buckley) is born. What ensues is beyond what either of them imagined: Murder! Possession! A wild and radical cultural movement! And outlaw lovers in a wild and combustible romance. Peter Sarsgaard, Jake Gyllenhaal and Penélope Cruz are also part of the cast. Directed and adapted for the screen by Maggie Gyllenhaal (The Lost Daughter).
Jessie Buckley is one of those actresses where it's not a question of if but when she will win an Oscar.

The Librarians     HD1080p 40MB
Documentary about America’s war on books, and superheroes who don't wear capes. In Texas, the Krause List targets 850 books focused on race and LGBTQIA+ stories – triggering sweeping book bans across the U.S. at an unprecedented rate. As tensions escalate, librarians connect the dots from heated school and library board meetings nationwide to lay bare the underpinnings of extremism fueling the censorship efforts. Despite facing harassment, threats, and laws aimed at criminalizing their work – the librarians’ rallying cry for freedom to read is a chilling cautionary tale.
And that was before the current regime took over. Now in limited release in the US and the UK.

Wicked: For Good     HD720p 47MB
Another trailer for the second part of the movie adaptation of the Broadway musical, again directed by Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights, Now You See Me 2), to be on theatres in November.

Under the instruction of Madame Morrible (Michelle Yeoh), she's deployed to serve as an effervescent comfort to Oz, reassuring the masses that all is well under the rule of The Wizard. As Glinda’s stardom expands and she prepares to marry Prince Fiyero (Jonathan Bailey) in a spectacular Ozian wedding, she is haunted by her separation from Elphaba. Ethan Slater, Marissa Bode and Bowen Yang also will return.
