Paint It Black, based on Janet Fitch’s novel, stars Alia Shawkat as an artist whose hard-partying ways come to a halt after her boyfriend dies and his terrifying mother, Janet McTeer, blames her for his death. It’s the kind of pulpy, Hitchcockian film you don’t see much of these days, and the trailer looks incredible.
Ezra Miller’s Flash is probably going to be one of the parts of Justice League fans and audiences enjoy the most. He’s got a few laugh lines in the trailer, and he’ll probably serve as the lovable, fast-talking comic relief, which DC and Warner Bros. seem to realize they are very much in need of. Today, a brand new image of Miller as Barry Allen in his Flash Cave debuted online, and there are a few fun little details you might miss unless you inspect it closely.
What should be a biographical film’s best moment is quickly becoming its worst and most tired trope.
A couple of weeks ago, Warner Bros. released the first in a trilogy of short prequel films for Blade Runner 2049. Set in 2036, that short introduced us to Jared Leto’s enigmatic antagonist Niander Wallace. The second prequel short dropped today, and it gives us a little background on another new character: Sapper, played by Dave Bautista, who gets to put some of those famous pro-wrestling skills to use in Denis Villeneuve’s upcoming sequel to Ridley Scott’s sci-fi classic.
We’re getting not one, but two new Ridley Scott films this year. The prolific director’s next film, which is slated for an awards season release in December, is a dramatic thriller based on the infamous Getty kidnapping. The first trailer for All the Money in the World has arrived, and it boasts an ensemble that includes Michelle Williams, Mark Wahlberg, and an almost unrecognizable Kevin Spacey — giving Gary Oldman a run for his money in this year’s “actor becomes unrecognizable to play historical figure” race.
In a move that’s sure to elicit at least a few eye rolls, Warner Bros. has tapped a male screenwriter to collaborate with Patty Jenkins on the Wonder Woman sequel. But before you roll your eyes too hard, Dave Callaham has an existing working relationship with Jenkins: The pair were developing a mystery thriller together before Jenkins took the Wonder Woman gig.
There’s a little bit of everything in the latest from Guillermo del Toro. The Shape of Water is part fairy tale, part monster movie, part love story, and part horror thriller. The filmmaker even finds room to squeeze in some nasty bits of gore and a dazzling classic Hollywood musical number. It may sound like none of that could work in one movie, but del Toro melds the many genre elements of his sublime fantasy into a loving ode to cinema. It’s a heartbreaking love story about loneliness and the transcendent power of language, and it’s simply magical.

Frozen has been such a smash success for Disney that it’s considered its own brand within the Disney Princesses world, and with the release of Olaf’s Frozen Adventure in November, Hasbro intends to make sure your kids have plenty of newly costumed Elsas, Annas, Olafs, and Kristoffs.
