"Jungles eat people like us!" Paramount Pictures has debuted a new 60-second extended TV spot for The Lost City, the travel adventure buddy comedy formerly known as Lost City of D, the modern update on Romancing the Stone - but with Sandra Bullock & Channing Tatum as the two hunky leads. We posted the first official trailer last December. A reclusive romance novelist on a book tour with her cover model gets swept up in a kidnapping attempt that lands them both in a cutthroat jungle adventure. This was filmed last year mostly in the Dominican Republic, including Samaná, Santo Domingo, Casa de Campo, and Pinewood Dominican Republic. At least it's not all fake sets. The eccentric cast also includes Daniel Radcliffe, Patti Harrison, Oscar Nunez, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Brad Pitt. This doesn't look any funnier than before, and the best part is still Pitt's appearance at the end. I guess that's why they're always showing him. https://onfs.net/3HSyHBH

"What are you doing here?" A24 has unveiled the first teaser trailer for Alex Garland's new film titled Men, his follow-up to Annihilation and Ex Machina. There's no official synopsis available, but from what we can tell in this trailer, it's more of a horror than a sci-fi film this time. Jessie Buckley stars as a woman who goes on a solo vacation in the English countryside after the death of her ex-husband. It also features Rory Kinnear and Paapa Essiedu, but that's it. Featuring cinematography by Rob Hardy (who also shot Ex Machina, M:I Fallout). This looks super creepy an unsettling, like the scariest parts inside of the zone in Annihilation. Who are these strange men making appearances? And what's with that apple tree? I am more than interested in finding out what this film is all about. Garland is a cinema mastermind. Get a look below. https://onfs.net/3GF9HvY

"I can't be the only sane man in this asylum." An official trailer has just debuted for a music documentary premiering at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival coming up in March. It's titled In the Court of the Crimson King, profiling 50 years of the British band called King Crimson. They're "not a band. It's a methodology for making extraordinary music that's lasted 50 years." For over 50 years Robert Fripp, also famous for his work with Bowie and Eno, has overseen a unique creative environment in which freedom and responsibility conspire to place extraordinary demands on the band's many members - only alleviated by the applause of an audience whose adoration threatens to make their lives even harder. It's a rewarding and perilous space in which the extraordinary is possible, nothing is certain, and not everyone survives intact. "What began as a traditional documentary about the legendary band, mutated into an exploration of time, death, family, and the transcendent power of music to change lives; but with jokes." Sounds kind of fun, I guess? Take a look. https://onfs.net/35UGyjL

"She just has to shove it down and keep it hidden."' Universal has unveiled the first full-length trailer for a Blumhouse remake of the iconic horror film Firestarter, adapted (again) from the Stephen King novel of the same name. This is set to debut in May, both in theaters and streaming on Peacock. In a new adaptation of King's classic thriller from the producers of The Invisible Man, a girl with extraordinary pyrokinetic powers fights to protect her family and herself from sinister forces that seek to capture and control her. This looks exactly like the modern, gritty update you'd expect - right down to the cliche lines about how she's a "real superhero", even tossing in "liar, liar, pants on fire." Zac Efron stars with Ryan Kiera Armstrong and Sydney Lemmon, Michael Greyeyes, Kurtwood Smith, John Beasley, plus Gloria Reuben. The Firestarter score is composed by the legendary John Carpenter and his fellow Halloween franchise composers Cody Carpenter and Daniel Davies. This looks pretty gnarly, there might be some intense scenes. https://onfs.net/34uUukj

"Did you lose something?" "My friend." Netflix has revealed the official trailer for a new "edge-of-your-seat thriller" titled The Weekend Away, about a trip-gone-wrong in Croatia. Ah man, don't make Croatia look scary, too! I've always wanted to visit. A weekend getaway to Croatia goes awry when a woman (Leighton Meester) is accused of killing her best friend (Christina Wolfe) and her efforts to get to the truth uncover a painful secret. From that description this sounds like a thriller version of the Amanda Knox story, which was already turned into the Matt Damon film Stillwater from last year. In addition to Meester & Wolfe, the cast includes Ziad Bakri, Luke Norris, and Amar Bukvic. This looks extra cheesy, with all the partying and all the on-the-run scenes. They're just rehashing this same story and setting it in another country again. https://onfs.net/361Hh2R

"Il grande ritorno del maestro!" Wait, you're telling me Dario Argento made another new film?! Yes he did! And it's probably not going to be any good, but here we go anyway. Argento's latest is Dark Glasses, also known as Black Glasses, another new mystery thriller horror with all his usual blood and violence. It's the first film he has made since Dracula 3D in 2012, which pretty much no one saw anyway. Dark Glasses is premiering first at the 2022 Berlin Film Festival this month, then it will open in Italy at the end of February. Diana, a young woman who lost her sight, finds a guide in a Chinese boy named Chin. Together they will track down a dangerous killer through the darkness of Italy. The cat includes Ilenia Pastorelli as Diana, Andrea Zhang as Chin, with Asia Argento (of course), Andrea Gherpelli, Mario Pirrello, and Maria Rosaria Russo. I've got a feeling this is going to be really bad, but who knows. He once was a master, but has lost his touch. This is an Italian teaser trailer with only 20 seconds of footage - but it's a good first look. https://onfs.net/3HH3gd8

"Why help us?" Capital Films has revealed an official trailer for an indie sci-fi called Beyond Existence, made by filmmaker Schuman Hoque. It's premiering soon at the Boston SciFi Film Fest and then will end up on VOD later this year. "What happens to our world when technology exceeds humanity?" The film follows Ellen, a government agent who is forced to protect a professor who holds a deadly secret. Ellen must help The Professor evade an immortal bounty hunter in order to save the human race. Featuring performances from Amelia Clay, Gary MacKay, Pauline Turner. The director explains: "with Beyond Existence we wanted to push the limits on what zero-budget filmmaking can achieve, while still having a commercially-driven and complex story." To save humanity, Ellen will go beyond fate, beyond destiny, beyond existence. Oh boy this sounds like it's going to be rough. I wish indie sci-fi was much better these days! But this ain't it. https://onfs.net/34IftzN

"We are doing true good here, Shannon, don't lose sight of that." Magnolia Pictures has revealed the first trailer for an indie sci-fi thriller titled Ultrasound, made by producer Rob Schroeder making his feature directorial debut. This premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and it also played at the Fantasia Film Festival last fall. The synopsis is incredibly vague: After his car breaks down, Glen spends one hell of an odd night with a married couple, setting into motion a chain of events that alter their lives... "Brilliantly constructed and meticulously detailed, [the film] gradually destabilizes the viewer's processing of the reality it presents, with a control that is as uncommon as it is remarkable... Textured with all kinds of clever subtleties, the film plays with its audience in revealing its mysteries, always keeping several steps ahead." Starring Vincent Kartheiser, Chelsea Lopez, Breeda Wool Tunde Adebimpe, Chris Gartin, plus Rainey Qualley. From this trailer it seems like this is some Eternal Sunshine kind of mental experimental gone crazy. Whoa. https://onfs.net/3snbmBe

"Yeah... we don't exactly hug." MGM has debuted a cute 60-second trailer for Dog to celebrate Valentine's Day. This adorable comedy is opening in a few more weeks, hence the final marketing push. Disgraced Army Ranger Briggs and his Belgian Malinois companion Lulu race down the Pacific Coast in time to catch their best friend's and her handler's funeral. We posted the first full trailer a few months ago. Dog is actually the directorial debut of actor Channing Tatum, who co-directs this with his producing partner Reid Carolin, also making his directorial debut after producing Magic Mike and most of Tatum's movies. Tatum also stars in Dog - he's joined by Q'orianka Kilcher, Jane Adams, Kevin Nash, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Nicole LaLiberte, Aqueela Zoll, Cayden Boyd, and Skyler Joy. Plus Lulu the dog! This looks super adorable. There's also two new behind-the-scenes featurettes for Dog to enjoy included below. Who want to see this? https://onfs.net/3oBtu9G

"Killing it is the kind thing." Shudder has unveiled an official trailer for an indie horror dark comedy thriller titled The Seed, which first premiered at last year's Beyond Fest. It'll be streaming on Shudder starting in March. What starts out as girls weekend away in the Mojave desert becomes a tale of horror, death and alien invasion when a meteor lands nearby. Three lifelong friends – Deidre, Heather, and Charlotte – are finally getting some time away on a trip out into the Mojave desert, until they encounter some strange mysterious alien creature. Starring Sophie Vavasseur, Lucy Martin, Chelsea Edge + Anthony Edridge, Jamie Wittebrood, and Shirley Barchou Pisani. This looks like it gets super wacky and weird once it gets into the second half! This is not your usual monster, it's something more. The end of this trailer is a doozy! Wow. https://onfs.net/3Bbt3Ia

"Humans and dinosaurs can't co-exist." Or can they?! Only one way to find out... Universal + Amblin have debuted the full-length official trailer for Jurassic World: Dominion and it is seriously epic! The poster reveals this is the "epic conclusion of the Jurassic era" - with all the dinos out on the lose, no longer stuck on the islands. Uh oh. Dominion takes place four years after Isla Nublar has been destroyed. Dinosaurs now live—and hunt—alongside humans all over the world. This fragile balance will reshape the future and will determine, once and for all, whether human beings are to remain the apex predators on a planet they now share with history's most fearsome creatures. It stars Mamoudou Athie, Scott Haze, Dichen Lachman, Daniella Pineda, Campbell Scott, Isabella Sermon, Justice Smith, Omar Sy, DeWanda Wise, and BD Wong. Plus the original JP cast: Sam Neill, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. Holy moley this looks extraordinary!! Every single shot in this is breathtaking, I cannot wait to see more footage. Bring it on. https://onfs.net/3oEGefF

"Time travel exists. This world, our world, everything has already been changed..." Whoa, what?!?! Netflix has unveiled a kick ass teaser trailer for The Adam Project, a new sci-fi adventure movie starring Ryan Reynolds. Netflix actually just showed this movie to critics in the US last night, and many of them are raving about it - saying it's mind-blowing sci-fi excellence. A time-traveling pilot teams up with his younger self and his late father to come to terms with his past while saving the future. That's the only vague synopsis so far. Ryan Reynolds teams up with a younger version of himself, confronting both his past and troubles growing up, while also saving the future. The cast includes Mark Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner, Walker Scobell, with Catherine Keener, and Zoe Saldaña. From director Shawn Levy, who last made Free Guy with Reynolds. This looks like it might be awesome! It's totally my kind of sci-fi, big and bold and magical. https://onfs.net/3GTBJnX

"We're afraid you'll think we're crazies, if we tell the story..." The Match Factory has revealed a very short teaser trailer for Incredible But True, the latest from from quirky French filmmaker Quentin Dupieux (of Rubber, Wrong, Reality, Deerskin, & Mandibles most recently). Incroyable Mais Vrai, as it's known in French, is premeiring today (!!) at the 2022 Berlin Film Festival, hence this trailer also arriving today. I just saw it earlier today and it's another surreal, wacky, amusing comedy from Dupieux. Alain and Marie moved to the suburb house of their dreams. But the real estate agent hints that – what is in the basement may well change their lives forever. There's a tube down there, but where does it lead? What does it do? You'll have to watch to find out! Oh it's soooo good. The comedy stars Alain Chabat, Léa Drucker, Benoît Magimel, Anaïs Demoustier, and Stéphane Pezerat. Just wait until you see more from this film! It's so much fun. https://onfs.net/3uW48r9

"If I could just, change... but I don't know how. Instead I'm stuck here like this." IFC Films has revealed the full official US trailer for the chilling drama Nitram, the latest film from gritty Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel. This premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival last year, where Caleb Landry Jones won the Best Actor award at the end of the festival. It focuses on a young man named Nitram, and the occurrences leading up to the 1996 Port Arthur massacre on Tasmania (Australia's worst mass shooting) in an attempt to understand why and how the atrocity occurred. The title is a reference to the name of the actual person, as it's about him and the last few months before the tragedy. Caleb Landry Jones stars as Nitram, and the fantastic cast includes Essie Davis, Anthony LaPaglia, Judy Davis, and Sean Keenan. As disturbing and unsettling as it is to watch this, I really think there is something valuable in the story it's trying to tell. https://onfs.net/3swQvf1

"Otherwordly." The Cinema Guild in NYC has revealed the first official trailer for Rock Bottom Riser, a compelling experimental documentary project made by filmmaker Fern Silva. This first premiered at last year's Berlin Film Festival and it also stopped by a number of festivals throughout 2021. Artist Fern Silva's doc features live footage of Hawaiian volcanoes spouting lava - along with abstract shots of Hawaii, acting as subtle commentary on a number of different topics. From the earliest voyagers who navigated by starlight, to present-day astronomers scanning the cosmos for habitable planets, explorers have long made Hawaii the hub for their searching. Today—as lava continues to flow on the island—another crisis mounts as scientists plan to build the world’s largest telescope on Mauna Kea, Hawaii’s most sacred and revered mountain. This might be a perfect double feature with this other great volcano doc Fire of Love from Sundance. Have a look. https://onfs.net/3GEV2AX

"We've all been wrong... and we've all done some wrong... but He came to forgive us." Sony Pictures has revealed the official trailer for an inspirational, uplifting drama titled Father Stu, marking the directorial debut of filmmaker Rosalind Ross (who is Mel Gibson's wife). The movie follows the life of Father Stuart Long, an amateur boxer-turned-priest who inspired countless people on his journey from self-destruction to redemption. After surviving a terrible motorcycle accident, he wonders if his second chance can be used to help others find their way, leading him to the surprising realization that he is meant to be a Catholic priest. Despite a devastating health crisis and the skepticism of Church, Father Stu pursues his vocation with courage and compassion, inspiring not only those closest to him but countless others along the way. Written for the screen and directed by Ross, and starring Academy Award nominee Mark Wahlberg as Father Stu, along with Mel Gibson, Jacki Weaver, and Teresa Ruiz. This looks sappy and the song in this trailer is such a cliche choice, though American audiences will eat it up. All the footage in this trailer is not that great. https://onfs.net/3uGMVSq

"Where the hell is this 'stranger?'" HBO Max has revealed the first full trailer for their new mini-series The Tourist, originally made for BBC One and Stan in Australia. So - who is he? When a man wakes up with amnesia in an Australian hospital, he must use what few clues he has to discover his identity before his past catches up with him. In the first scene, the protagonist is driving through the outback pursued by a truck whose driver is trying to run him off the road. This stars Jamie Dornan as "The Man", plus an ensemble cast including Danielle Macdonald, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Genevieve Lemon, Alex Dimitriades, and Damon Herriman. As mysterious as this all is, the trailer pretty much reveals most of who he is - some kind of criminal involved in some kind of problem with other gangsters. It looks a bit like the "Fargo" series, with lots of dead bodies and shady characters showing up in a small town. https://onfs.net/369JzNz

"It just feels easier for me to lay in bed..." Oh yes, we all know that feeling. Gravitas Ventures has unveiled an official trailer for a documentary film titled Just Like You: Anxiety + Depression. Jen Greenstreet is a former prosecuting attorney who decided to start a film company to help with mental health issues, and she has been making shorts for years with "Just Like You." This feature-length doc is the culmination of all of her work so far, telling stories and making films addressing challenges with mental health. In this film - brave kids, Emmy award winning journalists, a clinical psychologist at Columbia University, as well as one determined mother take on the overwhelming fear & stigma plaguing the mental health community, leaving us enlightened, empowered and equipped to either live life or lift up the lives of those with challenging and even life-threatening conditions. "This film will save lives," they say. This new chapter in the "JLY" series focuses on the fear of getting support and help with recovery. Hopefully this film is better than the trailer. https://onfs.net/3LlXr7v

"Whatever's out there ain't going to go away if you keep feeding it." Gravitas has revealed the first official trailer for Tethered, an indie horror film made by filmmaker Daniel Robinette. Deep within the woods of North Carolina, miles from civilization, a blind teenager and the hunter he befriends are tormented by a mysterious creature lurking in the woods. His only other stimulation is a tape recorded message containing three mysterious rules: The First Rule: When you hunt or scavenge, do it for two—one for the forest and one for you.The Second Rule: When your will is almost gone and you feel like giving up, find comfort in singing our song.The Third Rule: You must never, ever let go of the rope. The film stars Alexandra Paul, Kareem Ferguson, Jared L. Cook, Brody Bett, and Chris Demm. This looks solid for a tiny budget indie flick. https://onfs.net/3oKql7p

"The showdown begins..." Paramount Pictures has revealed an entertaining 30-second Super Bowl TV spot for Sonic the Hedgehog 2, which will show during the pre-game festivities this weekend. After settling in Green Hills, Sonic is eager to prove he has what it takes to be a true hero. His test comes when Dr. Robotnik returns, this time with a new partner, Knuckles, in search for an emerald that has the power to destroy civilizations. Sonic must team up with his own sidekick, Tails, and together they embark on a globe-trotting journey to find the emerald before it falls into the wrong hands. The movie stars Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic, Idris Elba as the voice of Knuckles, Colleen O'Shaughnessey as Tails, plus Jim Carrey back as the evil Dr. Robotnik, with James Marsden, Tika Sumpter, Natasha Rothwell, Adam Pally, Lee Majdoub, and Shemar Moore. "Bengals or Rams? I have no idea, but the Hedgehog can take 'em both. Check out the new BIG GAME spot" for Sonic the Hedgehog 2. Yeah - this looks like it's going to be a blast. https://onfs.net/34A7aGC

"I have a plan. I'm coming to you." Intromovies has unveiled an official US trailer for an intriguing Finnish indie film titled The Blind Man Who Did Not Want To See Titanic, which originally premiered at the 2021 Venice Film Festival last year. It's playing at the 2022 SXSW Film Festival this fall. Jaakko and Sirpa have never met face to face but used to talk on the phone every day. When he heard about her declining health, he decides to go meet her in another city, though soon she will learn that he is blind and paralyzed from the chest down. The film is shot from a blind man's perspective, starring Petri Poikolainen, a blind and wheelchair-bound actor in a gripping debut performance. Wow. The filmmaker's style is best described as good-willed yet unapologetic political satire of humanity. "He has never see the movie Titanic." Ha! Also starring Marjaana Maijala as Sirpa. This looks great! I missed this one at the festivals but it seems like a really sweet, honest, and fascinating film about the life of a blind man in Finland. Definitely worth a watch. https://onfs.net/3p3HZU3
