We are back with yet another AWESOME list of latest Hollywood trailers!
Movie trailers are a lot like HIIT workouts – high on intensity without being time-consuming. Looking out for these capsule bursts of entertainment has become a weekly ritual of sorts, for me as well as for you (amirite?). So, here is the pick of some fascinating new movie trailers to keep you company over the next few coffee breaks:
Blade Runner 2049
Officer K, who is the new blade runner for the LAPD, unearths a secret that has been long buried in the pages of history. A secret that has the potential of plunging the entire society into a state of chaos and mayhem. A secret that puts him on the quest to find a former blade runner, Rick Deckard, who has been missing for the past 30 years. It is a sequel to the 1982 hit, Blade Runner, which enjoys a cult status to this day. Needless to say, the announcement of a sequel has the Blade Runner fans all excited. What makes the excitement unbearable is Ryan Gosling in the lead role, who looks smashing as ever in his Officer K avatar. The movie hits theatres on October 6 but why wait to catch a glimpse of Gosling (and everything else that there is to the Blade Runner) when you can watch the new movie trailer NOW.
Last Flag Flying
There is something insanely inspiring about war movies and films centered on war heroes. Last Flag Flying is no different. After giving the audience a rowdy comedy in form of Everybody Wants Some last year, Richard Linklater has come back with a promising new venture. The film revolves around the lives of three Vietnam War veterans – Larry ‘Doc’ Shepherd, Sal Nealon and the Rev Richard Mueller – who meet after decades to bury Doc’s son, a young marine who died fighting in Iraq. The three buddies take the casket on a bittersweet journey all the way up the coast to New Hampshire. In the course of the journey, the old men reminisce about a war that seems like a distant memory but continue to shape up their lives. With Bryan Cranston, Steve Carell, and Laurence Fishburne in the lead roles, it looks like Last Flag Flying will set you up for some hair-raising moments. The movies releases on November 3rd, and a trailer has already arrived.
Suburbicon
The film essentially revolves around a violent underbelly of a seemingly peaceful community and how that can wreak havoc on lives of people. The movie stars Matt Demon, who plays a man coming to terms with the loss of someone special. During the course of this struggle, an unexpected turn of events and twisted tales throw his life haywire. Julianna Moore sure comes through as a ray of bright sunshine amidst a twisted and dark plot. The film also stars Oscar Issac and is being directed by the gorgeous George Clooney. Not that it’s going bring us any visual relief since he has spent his time on the other side of the lens on this one, but hey, Clooney is always worth a mention. The film has already been screened at the 74th Venice International Film Festival and is slated to be screened at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival before hitting theatres on October 27.
The Star
We have all heard what happened on the first Christmas – the night Jesus was born – a hundred times over. The star, the manger in Bethlehem, the three wise men…But that’s the human version of the story. Now, what if we had a bunch of animals gives us their rendition of the Christmas story? Some crazy melting of the heart and a lot of hearty laughs, I reckon. That’s exactly what The Star has in store for you. Bo, a small but brave donkey, wants to get away from the everyday grind of his life at the village mill. One day, he manages to break free and embarks on an adventure of a lifetime. Along the way, he meets Dave, a dove propelled by lofty ambitions, and Ruth, a sheep separated from her flock, three camels, and some rather eccentric stable animals. Bo and his newfound gang of friends end up following ‘the Star’ and become part of the most mesmerizing story ever told – that of the first Christmas. The movie releases this November, just in time for Christmas! But you can catch a glimpse of it now with this new movie trailer.
Tulip Fever
What happens if someone falls in love with their therapist, the best friend’s ex or a teacher? It sets you up for a disastrous, complicated relationship. If you take these dynamics back to the 17th century, you get the plot of Tulip Fever, a period drama that traces an unlikely love story between a painter and his subject. The film is an adaptation of a novel by Deborah Moggach and is set in 17th century Amsterdam. The artist falls in love with a young married woman whose portrait he has been commissioned to make, by none other than the woman’s husband. In the hope of building a life together, the two invest in the risky tulip market. But life is not always a bed of roses (or tulips). Or is it? While that mystery will unravel when the film comes out on September 1, you can pick pieces of this intriguing jigsaw with this new movie trailer.
It looks like the rest of the year is packed with an interesting line-up of movies. Well, at least that takes care of the million dollars ‘what to do this weekend?’ question. For now, I’m going to grab that coffee and get back to these trailers. You should do the same.
