Independence Day: Resurgence Official Trailer

The first official Trailer for Independence Day Resurgence arrives giving fans a first looks at Roland Emmerich’s long promised follow up to the blockbuster 1996 alien invasion apocalypse. Not only are the evil aliens back with predictably bigger ships, the original cast are also with inevitably older faces, albeit with the one notable exception of Will Smith. But don’t worry we’re sure Jeff Goldblum can save us on his own this time…

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Trailer

Here is the first official trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Out of The Shadows, the inevitable sequel to the much criticised but obscenely lucrative Michael Bay produced 2014 reboot for the enduring popular 80s franchise.

The trailer makes it pretty obvious that Michael Bay’s CGI obsessed hands are still firmly in control. Sadly it seems generic alien spaceships are yet again invading New York, while countless cars and buildings casually explode. Megan Fox at least seems relieved to still have a career as a ‘sexy movable prop’.

The sequel does at least reintroduce some other popular elements from the franchise. Arrow star Stephen Amell is the hockey masked hero Casey Jones, villainous duo Bebop & Rocksteady join the CGI party and the Turtle Van still shoots manhole covers…

Abigal Hardingham Set To Join The Crow Reboot

Speaking at the British Independent Film Awards in London, Most Promising Newcomer winner Abigal Hardingham and director Corin Hardy both confirmed that they will be working together.

With Corin Hardy’s next project set to be the long delayed Crow Reboot, it seems highly likely that the Nina Forever star may be the female lead opposite whichever male star finally agrees to tackle the iconic gothic hero.

While both the director and award winning actress deliberately stopped short of officially confirming that the project they were referring to was indeed The Crow, judge for yourself from Hardingham’s reaction below to some very direct questioning on the subject.

Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon Sequel Trailer

16 years after the original won the Best Foreign Language Oscar, Netflix has released the official trailer for the straight to streaming sequel to the iconic martial arts classic. The unlikely rebirth carries the title Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon: Sword of Destiny.

The trailer confirms the return of Michelle Yeoh and copious amounts of gravity defying kung fu elegance. However it also abandons the use of subtitles in favour of going full English language for more mass audience appeal.

Fans of the original may remain optimistic, though undoubtedly their biggest concern may be the odd choice of soundtrack for the trailer. It’s a weird miss match of period setting  and synthesized classic rock cover, awkwardly reminiscent of fan made trailers most often guilty of such  misguided pop culture mashups.
