Lucifer Season 5 Trailer Teases Celestial Sibling Rivalry

The trailer for Lucifer Season 5 has finally arrived, showcasing an array of epic events designed to serve as a bittersweet climax for the entire series—at least until Netflix went and renewed the series for Season 6 this past June. Regardless, the hell-spawned crime series—an adaptation of the Lucifer Morningstar character of Neil Gaiman’s imminently Netflix-show-spawning The Sandman comic book lore—now readies a return to Netflix with a 16-episode fifth season split into two parts, with the freshly-arrived trailer reflecting the impending release of the first eight.   On that note, check out the montage of monstrous mirth that is…

The game is called Assassin’s Creed Valhalla and moves the action to ninth-century Europe during the Viking Age. The story stars a Viking raider named Eivor, who will travel from Norway to several kingdoms of Medieval England. The Viking reveal may not come as a surprise to those who have been following rumors about the next Assassin’s Creed game online.

New Venom Event Trailer Revealed by Marvel

For the last couple years, Donny Cates and Ryan Stegman have been putting together a pretty crazy and frankly must-read Venom ongoing series. Venom has a rather messy narrative history full of retcons and ideas that don’t sync well, so during his run, Cates has decided to cut into Venom lore like a surgeon with a chainsaw. Certain aspects of Venom’s past have been written out, like the idea that Eddie Brock had cancer or even a sister. Brian Michael Bendis’ attempt to rewrite the symbiote species as some kind of gooey cosmic knight armor created to protect the universe…

Tesla Trailer Teases Subversive Biopic Starring Ethan Hawke

Ethan Hawke headlines the biopic, Tesla, having transformed himself—mustache and all—into the once-overlooked, retroactively-revered early 20th century inventor, Nikola Tesla. The indie offering, directed and written by Michael Almereyda (Marjorie Prime, Experimenter), premiered this past January at the Sundance Film Festival, and will make its general release via IFC Films. Tesla might initially seem like a historical biopic that’s quickly revisiting a topical well, focused on the electrical engineering achievements of Tesla (who’s been portrayed in myriad film and television stints,) in his famous involvement in the electricity rivalry between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse. After all, an impressively-cast movie…

Hamilton: History Has Its Eyes On You Event Gets Disney+ Trailer

Are you ready for a Hamilton encore? If the answer is yes, then you probably have already watched Hamilton more than once on Disney+. But never being satisfied with only having the streaming event of the summer, Disney has now also revealed there will be a new behind-the-scenes look at the musical with Lin-Manuel Miranda and other key members of the cast, plus a historian, discussing the musical’s legacy five years on. The new “special conversation,” titled Hamilton: History Has Its Eyes On You, is hosted by Good Morning America’s Robin Roberts and features her interviewing Miranda, who in addition…

The Boys Season 2 Debuts Hilariously Violent New Trailer

Say what you will about Amazon Prime’s The Boys, but it knows how to give the people what they want. And in the case of season 2’s first full trailer, that means breathtaking, near cartoonish levels of violence. Give the two-minute clip a look below to see what we mean. That is…uh, a lot of brains crushed by super-powered fists. Scoring the whole thing to Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire” was a shrewd choice as well but it kind of works.  The Boys season 2 is set to premiere on September 4, 2020. As evidenced by that teaser,…

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands – Release Date, Trailer, Beta, Gameplay, and News

The next World of Warcraft expansion is called World of Warcraft: Shadowlands. After the latest update to Battle of Azeroth saw the Horde and Alliance arrive at a temporary peace agreement, everything seemed to be relatively quiet in the world of Azeroth. However, the first trailer for Shadowlands shows Sylvannas Windrunner make her way to the frozen throne of the Lich King where Bolvar Fordragon sits.  Somewhat shockingly, Sylvannas is able to defeat Bolvar Fordragon and seemingly assume his role as the Lich King (or Lich Queen). It doesn’t seem to be quite that simple, though, as Sylvannas destroys the…

Away Trailer Sends Hilary Swank to Space for Netflix Drama

Hilary Swank is headed to Mars—by way of Netflix in the upcoming television series, Away. The two-time Best Lead Actress Oscar winner—Boys Don’t Cry in 2000 and Million Dollar Baby in 2005—is headlining a space series from the streaming giant that’s more grounded (no pun intended,) than its other such offerings like, for example, Lost in Space or Another Life. Indeed, Swank stars in this 10-episode drama series as an American astronaut who reluctantly leaves her family behind for the perilous task of leading NASA’s first manned mission to Mars. Interestingly enough, the series is loosely inspired by real-life events,…

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning – Release Date, Trailer, and News

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning, a remaster of Kingdoms of Amalur, has been delayed to September but is now set to receive a brand new DLC expansion called Fatesworn. THQ Nordic hasn’t revealed much about this new expansion, but it appears that it’s being built from the ground up for the purposes of this remaster. That means that it should be different from some of the previously unreleased content that is expected to be included with the base version of the remaster. However, we’re still waiting for the full details regarding the scope of the Fatesworn expansion in that respect. Speaking…

Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 6 Trailer and Release Date

Although its future was often in doubt season to season, Agents of SHIELD season 7 was a sure thing right from the start as ABC renewed the series for two shortened seasons shortly after the end of season five. With the introduction of another time travel storyline — this time to past — the fact that season 7 will be the show’s final run introduces interesting possibilities for coming full circle with the origins of the S.H.I.E.L.D. organization. Here’s what’s going on with Agents of SHIELD season 7 so far… Agents of SHIELD Season 7 Episode 7 Trailer & Release Date…

The Tax Collector Trailer Shows Shia LaBeouf Embracing His Dark Side

The Tax Collector, despite its title, is not a Hallmark channel drama about a lovelorn IRS agent, which the just-released trailer makes abundantly clear. Indeed, the film, an intense crime drama from Suicide Squad director David Ayer, is a Southern California-set tragedy with quite the ace in its hole with a maniacally unhinged performance by Shia LaBeouf. Ayer, best known for the aforementioned DCEU outing, along with Will-Smith-starring (and sequel-set) Netflix feature Bright and Brad Pitt-headlined WWII epic Fury, makes a thematic reprisal of sorts with written/directorial offering The Tax Collector, which returns him to the wheelhouse of his earlier…

A beloved astrologer’s spiritual and sexual influence is lovingly recounted in Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado. “Love is the essence of everything,” we read in the first Mucho Mucho Amor trailer, and the new Netflix Original Documentary has nothing but love for the iconic astrologer Walter Mercado. Mucho Mucho Amor: The Legend of Walter Mercado will hit the streamer globally on July 8. The documentary was directed by Cristina Costantini (Science Fair) and Kareem Tabsch (The Last Resort), and produced by Alex Fumero (I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson). They got “unprecedented access to Walter…

Candyman Remake Trailer, Release Date, Cast and Details

It’s been over 20 years since Hollywood evoked the vengeance-fueled specter of horror franchise Candyman, but the hiatus is coming to an end. With Hollywood’s reboot/remake epoch showing no signs of slowing down, and the buzz surrounding Blumhouse’s recent Halloween sequel/reboot, it appears that the Candyman’s cinematic rebirth is nigh. Jordan Peele and his Monkeypaw Productions have conjured a new Candyman manifestation. Nia DaCosta (Little Woods) directed the film off a screenplay by Peele and Win Rosenfeld. The film is a “spiritual sequel” that “returns to the neighborhood where the legend began: the now-gentrified section of Chicago where the Cabrini-Green…

Superman: The Man of Tomorrow – Trailer and Release Date for New DC Animated Movie

If there’s one thing DC loves, it’s reboots. The comics cycle through their continuity in one form or another every decade or so, the movies…well…that’s a whole thing, too. So of course now it’s time for the DC animated movies to get a fresh start. And this time, they’re doing it with the hero who should pretty much always be the center of these things: Superman. Since 2014, there have been 20 DC Universe Animated Original Movies, most of which existed in a shared continuity that began with Justice League: War and culminated in this year’s Justice League Dark: Apokalips…

Creem: America’s Only Rock N’ Roll Magazine Trailer Rocks With a Punk Edge

“Buying Creem was a little bit like buying Playboy,” Jeff Daniels says in the trailer for the upcoming documentary, Creem: America’s Only Rock N’ Roll Magazine. “You didn’t want your parents to see either one of them.” The alternative music magazine debuted in Detroit in 1969 and is credited with inventing the phrase Punk Rock. “It was Rock magazine with a capital R,” Suzi Quatro adds. Creem: America’s Only Rock N’ Roll Magazine will open in select theaters in August. Boy howdy! Creem was staffed by a group of misfits who had no “business running, writing or editing for a…

Greenland Trailer Previews Gerard Butler Comet Apocalypse Epic

Greenland, a cinematic disaster epic scheduled for August, has released a trailer showcasing extinction-level devastation for humanity, whose survival—in a manner akin to many recent disaster epics—rests on the shoulders of Gerard Butler. In the case of Greenland, Butler headlines as a man who, joined by his estranged wife (Morena Baccarin) and young son (Roger Dale Floyd), embarks on a dangerous journey to prospective safety after the planet becomes bombarded by a planet-killing comet and its scattered fragments. However, expect the apocalyptic backdrop of the film to simultaneously highlight the bravery of humanity while indicting its more unstable elements. The…

Over the Moon Trailer Teases Netflix’s Optimistic Animated Feature

Over the Moon, an animated feature headed to Netflix, has released its first trailer, which showcases an aesthetically impressive, awe-inspiring tale of wonder that’s out to prove that Disney+ isn’t the only place on which its genre flourishes. The film focuses on the exploits of a young Asian-American girl, who—having been entranced by a myth about a goddess who accidentally floated away from her true love to be exiled on the moon—embarks on a cosmic endeavor of building a rocket for a lunar visit of her own. Despite the problematic practicalities of its plot mechanics, Over the Moon appears destined…

Hamilton Trailer Doesn’t Throw Away Its Shot

The lights may be out over Broadway tonight, and for the foreseeable future, but the most beloved American musical of the last decade is about to have its biggest premiere yet: inside your living room! And Disney wants you to know about it. In what amounted to a major win for Disney’s young streaming service, it was announced earlier this year that a filmed performance of Hamilton’s Original Broadway Cast would not wait until its October 2021 theatrical release date to be screened: it’d go to Disney+ in time for the Fourth of July weekend. This was a major shift…
