Love is a monster for Juno Temple and Riley Keough in first clip and poster for Tribeca-bound “Jack and Diane”

April 19, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Images, Videos 1 Comment

Teenage hormones are about to get hairy for Juno Temple and Riley Keough. Ha. Ha. Bradley Rust Gray’s teen romance “Jack & Diane” has long been offhandedly referred to “that lesbian werewolf movie”, and today Vulture has unveiled the first poster which further sticks to its monstrous metaphor. Keough and Temple play Jack and Diane, respectively, two teenage girls who meet in New York City and begin to fall in love right as Diane gets ready to leave the country a week later. As if that weren’t complicated enough, Diane begins to fear she may be turning into a werewolf.

The first clip from the film, which also stars Jena Malone and Dane DeHaan, is below, along with the first poster. It premieres tomorrow night at the Tribeca Film Festival, and has a limited release date of June 1st.

Watch: Robert Pattinson is headed to Cannes, as confirmed in full length trailer for David Cronenberg’s “Cosmopolis”

April 18, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

We’ve probably all known this for quite a while, but the first full length trailer for David Cronenberg’s trippy adaptation of Don DeLillo novel “Cosmopolis” makes it official. “Twilight” heartthrob Robert Pattinson is heading to the Cannes Film Festival for the very first time as he stars as Eric Packer, a billionaire playboy whose quest to get a haircut is ran wildly off-course by mysterious assassins, sexual partners (none of which are his wife, played by Sarah Gadon), giant rats and several apparent suicide attempts. You know, the usual Manhattan rush hour traffic.

The trailer comes just hours before the official announcement of the final Cannes lineup will be announced by Thierry Frémaux, the Festival’s General Delegate. We already know Wes Anderson’s latest offering, “Moonrise Kingdom”, will open the festival, and it was also recently revealed that the late French director Claude Miller’s final film, “Therese D” starring Audrey Toutou, will close it.

Other strong Cannes contenders include Walter Salles’ “On the Road”, starring Pattinson’s “Twilight” paramour Kristen Stewart, and Lee Daniels’ “The Paperboy” starring Zac Efron. Looks like Cannes will really be drawing in the interest of that coveted youth demographic this year.

Watch the new “Cosmopolis” trailer below and check back soon for the full Cannes lineup.

Watch: Channing Tatum, Alex Pettyfer and Cody Horn in first trailer for male stripper flick “Magic Mike”

April 18, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

Channing Tatum strips down, waxes philosophical and tries to get the girl in the first trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s highly anticipated male stripper dramedy “Magic Mike.” Based on Tatum’s own adolescent experiences as a male stripper, the young wannabe stripper is played in the movie by Alex Pettfyer, though it’s clear the film belongs to Tatum’s titular character, Pettyfer’s mentor and an entrepreneur who has his hands in many businesses that deal in cash.

The footage is much more understated that we may have expected, with plenty of non-male-stripping moments between characters, particularly between Tatum and newcomer Cody Horn as Pettyfer’s older sister and obvious love interest to his mentor.

Tatum and Soderbergh are currently in the midst of their third collaboration, “Bitter Pill, in New York. Meanwhile, “Magic Mike” will open on June 29th. See the first trailer below.

Watch: Greta Gerwig tries to get over Joel Kinnaman in first trailer for indie rom-com “Lola Versus”

April 5, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

The indie scene’s newest It Girl takes a stab at headlining the closest thing the indie crowd can get to a mainstream romantic comedy in the first trailer for “Lola Versus.” Directed by Daryl Wein and starring Greta Gerwig in the titular role, Lola is a suddenly adrift almost-30-year-old dumped by her fiance weeks before the wedding. Lola attempts to get her life back on track through therapy, power eating junk food and a series of sexual misadventures with new guys, all the while still occasionally being confronted with her new ex, a rock star who happens to look like Joel Kinnaman. I would be upset too, Lola.

“Lola Versus” (from the studio that brought you “500 Days of Summer”, in case you’ve forgotten) will be released on June 8th. See the first trailer below.

Watch: Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson rescue Blake Lively in first trailer for “Savages”

April 5, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

“Just because I’m telling you this story doesn’t mean I’m alive at the end,” narrates Blake Lively as her character O introduces us to the hyper sexual and violent world in which she resides in the first trailer for Oliver Stone’s drug cartel thriller “Savages.” Yes, it’s one of those stories, in which certain death for most if not all parties involved seems inevitable.

Taylor Kitsch and Aaron Johnson play best friends and business partners Chon and Ben, two Southern Californian pot growers whose business is starting to really become lucrative. No surprise then that the Mexican drug lords want a piece of the action. When they refuse to work for Salma Hayek’s organization, Benicio Del Toro is dispatched to kidnap O, the girlfriend they share between them, setting off a chain of violent events that may or may not culminate in everybody killing each other.

“Savages”, based on the best-selling novel by Don Winslow, will be released on July 6th, and will coincide with the publication of “The Kings of Cool”, a prequel novel that traces the beginnings of Ben, Chon and O’s unusual friendship.

Watch the brilliant and intense first trailer below.

Watch: Juno Temple and Kay Panabaker in first trailer for Sundance flick “Little Birds”

April 5, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

It’s been over a year since “Little Birds” became one of our most anticipated Sundance films, but only now are we getting our first glimpse at the coming of age drama from writer-director Elgin James.

Since its premiere at the Utah film festival in 2011, star Juno Temple has steadily gained more visibility in Hollywood, so it’s probably great timing that the movie will finally be released this June. Temple plays Lily, an aimless and depressed teenager living by the Salton Sea who convinces her more reserved best friend Alison (played by Kay Panabaker) to run away to Los Angeles with a boy she meets (Kyle Gallner). Of course, they get into more trouble than they expect and do a little growing up along the way.

No firm release date yet, but the first teaser trailer for “Little Birds” can be seen now below.

Watch: Jesse Eisenberg caught between Greta Gerwig and Ellen Page in first trailer for Woody Allen’s “To Rome With Love”

April 3, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

Some plot and character details are cleared up with our first look at the trailer for Woody Allen’s newest globe-trotting filmmaking venture, “To Rome With Love.” Allen himself is back on the screen in this one, about interlocking stories of love, infidelity, family, politics, fame and more. He joins Jesse Eisenberg, an American living in Rome with his girlfriend Greta Gerwig. When her newly dumped best friend Ellen Page shows up to stay a while, an instant love triangle is formed. Alec Baldwin plays his visiting father, while elsewhere in the city Alison Pill plays Allen’s daughter, dating an Italian her father disapproves of and Penelope Cruz plays the hottest prostitute that could only exist in the movies.

Typical of Allen’s films, the dialogue is sharp and funny and the situations playful and silly. Bring on Copenhagen. In the meantime, “To Rome with Love” opens on June 22nd and the first trailer can be viewed below.

Watch: Max Theriot creeps Jennifer Lawrence out in first trailer for “The House at the End of the Street”

March 29, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

It’s kind of clever that the first trailer for horror flick “The House at the End of the Street” uses a sort of “Memento”-esque time warp to tell the story backwards, but it left me feeling a bit spoiled on plot points. What we knew before the trailer: Elizabeth Shue and Jennifer Lawrence play mother and daughter who move in down the street from a house where a brutal double murder took place. The lone survivor of the massacre, Max Theriot, still lives there. Lawrence and Theriot of course strike up a romance, but she soon begins to discover the dark secrets that still lurk inside his walls.

What the trailer tells us: It was Theriot’s little sister who allegedly committed the crimes, stabbing her parents to death in cold blood, and she’s still be living in the basement of the house and still carrying around the knife. And Theriot’s character probably has something to do with it. Yikes. Also, thanks for spelling it all out for me.

“The House at the End of the Street” will be released on September 21st. Watch the first trailer below, if you’re one of those people who likes to know everything about a movie before seeing it.

Watch: Chris Pine and Elizabeth Banks meet “People Like Us” in first trailer

March 29, 2012 | Posted by Linda Ge in Videos Leave a comment

Hot off the success of “The Hunger Games, Effie herself Elizabeth Banks introduces the first trailer for her next movie, “People Like Us”, which is surely hoping for a bit of an awareness bump thanks to its suddenly way more famous star. Formerly titled “Welcome to People”, Chris Pine stars in the family drama as a man who is reunited with a sister and nephew he never knew he had after the death of his alcoholic father. His father left him a large inheritance, along with instructions to give some of the money to the daughter he hid from his wife and son. Banks and Pine play the newfound brother-sister duo, with Olivia Wilde on board as Hannah, Pine’s character’s girlfriend. Michelle Pfeiffer is also on board to play Pine’s mother.

The directorial debut of uber-successful screenwriter Alex Kurtzman, “People Like Us” boasts a confident summer release date of June 29th. Watch the first trailer, courtesy of Moviefone, below.
