"No one can stop the reign!" Well they saved the best trailer for last! 20th Century has debuted an excellent third & final trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes, continuing from the Rise of the Planet of the Apes trilogy featuring Caesar. Opening in theaters in early May in just a few weeks. Directed by Wes Ball, this takes place years after the events of War for the Planet of the Apes. Many ape clans have emerged in the oasis to which Caesar led his fellow apes, while humans have regressed into a feral state. One ape leader prevents the teachings of Caesar in order to enslave other clans while in search of the last traces of a secret human technology. While another ape embarks on a much different journey. Featuring Owen Teague as Cornelius, the son of Caesar. The full cast also includes Freya Allan, Peter Macon, Eka Darville, Kevin Durand, Travis Jeffery, Neil Sandilands, Sara Wiseman, Lydia Peckham, Ras-Samuel Weld A'abzgi, William H. Macy, & Dichen Lachman. This is going to be amazing!! Really impressed by how gorgeous it all looks, and how emotional & compelling this story is, with Cornelius taking on an entire clan of other more violent Apes in the distant future. Don't hesitate - get your tickets and go see this in theaters.
Official Trailer for 'Copa 71' Doc - About the 1971 Women's World Cup
"It was important for women to see that this was possible." Greenwich Entertainment has debuted a trailer for a sports history documentary film titled Copa 71, arriving to watch in June. It first premiered at TIFF 2023 last year, with stops at the London, Philadelphia, AFI Fest, and Göteborg Film Festivals. Told by the pioneering women who participated, this is the extraordinary story of the 1971 Women's Soccer World Cup, a tournament witnessed by record crowds that has been written out of sporting history – until now. This is the entirely true story of the 1971 Women’s World Cup, which was held in Mexico City and witnessed by more than 100,000 fans. This landmark tournament was dismissed by FIFA, of course, which should be no surprise to anyone familiar with this sordid sports organization. The doc film features interviews with various players who participated in the World Cup in 1971 and many others. Executive produced by Venus & Serena Williams. This looks awesome! Glad this once forgotten story is finally being told with proper pizazz.

Watch: Entrancing Short 'Sit Down, Don't Touch Anything' on Creativity
Do you sometimes struggle with creativity? How do you motivate and inspire yourself (again) when you're out of energy to create? The latest short film creation from Swiss animation filmmaker Frederic Siegel is this 5-minute film titled Sit Down, Don't Touch Anything. It's an entrancing, hypnotic short about the creative process inspired, of course, by Frederic's own challenges with creativity. "I worked on [this film for] the last two years more or less in complete secrecy during the pandemic. I started with experimenting on new, weird styles and ended up with a weird 5-minute, experimental short." No other intro is needed, just click play on the video, turn up the volume, enter full screen – and enjoy. Frederic also works with a Swiss animation design studio called Team Tumult and they've made some awesome shorts in the past (highly recommend The Lonely Orbit). This new one is a solo short but still as mesmerizing as ever. Dive in below.

Rock Doc 'Revival69: The Concert That Rocked the World' Full Trailer
"Combination of people on the stage is, without question, historic." Greenwich Entertainment has revealed the official US trailer for a music history documentary film titled Revival69: The Concert That Rocked the World, about the iconic 1969 Toronto Rock 'n Roll Revival music festival. Yet another music doc telling the story of "how it happened!" by looking back at how it almost didn't happen (just like The Greatest Night in Pop, etc). John Lennon, Yoko Ono, Little Richard, The Doors, Chuck Berry, Alice Cooper, and other legendary musicians performed at the 1969 Toronto Rock and Roll Revival music festival. This behind-the-scenes look at "the second most important event in rock and roll history" culminates in John Lennon's very first public performance with The Plastic Ono Band, integral in triggering his decision to leave the Beatles. Forged with rare, recently discovered behind-the-scenes Super 8 verité footage, and including never-before seen 16mm film of the concert shot by D.A. Pennebaker and his crew, Revival69 is an exhilarating VIP ride into a pivotal moment in music history, told through the eyes of those who were there: the musicians, the mavericks behind the scenes, and all who witnessed history in the making. What an epic concert! Have fun.

Catching a Serial Killer in Crime Thriller 'The Execution' Official Trailer
"It's him. I can feel it." 4Digital Media has revealed an official US trailer for a dark, brutal crime thriller title The Execution, loosely based on a true story about a Russian serial killer that was very hard to catch. After first opening in theaters in 2022, this film is headed to VOD in the US this May. For 10 years the country's most wanted serial killer has evaded police. Even when he's finally caught, nobody can prove his guilt. As the manhunt intensifies, the investigation grows increasingly personal between detective and suspect. After its world premiere at both Fantastic Fest and the Sitges Film Festival back in 2021, and a theatrical release in Russia, 4Digital will debut this on VOD soon. The film stars Niko Tavadze, Evgeniy Tkachuk, Daniil Spivakovskiy, and Aglaya Tarasova. Described in reviews as "a brutal & gripping psychological thriller." This certainly looks inspired by David Fincher's Se7en and many other brutal serial killer thrillers like that.
Full Trailer for 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory' Netflix Animated Series
"We're all in danger… and whoever is hunting us, they're using raptors to do it." "Raptors? For real?" 🦖 Netflix has debuted the main official trailer for Jurassic World: Chaos Theory, the next new animated series in the Jurassic World / Jurassic Park franchise. While this is a brand new animated series, it's also a follow-up to Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous, which launched in 2020 and ran through five seasons (+ one extra special) until 2022. Chaos Theory continues following Darius Bowman, a young paleontologist from the original series who discovers that live dinosaurs are roaming California's wilderness. Set six years after the events at Camp Cretaceous, members of "The Nublar Six" are struggling to find their footing off the islands, navigating a world now filled with dinosaurs and people who want to hurt them. With the voices of Paul-Mikel Williams as Darius, Sean Giambrone as Ben, Darren Barnet, Raini Rodriguez, and Kausar Mohammed. Animated by DreamWorks Animation for Amblin & Universal. While this series is still made for kids, it seems a bit darker & scarier, especially with raptors hunting them. Legit! Check it out.
Official Trailer for The Beatles' Original 1970 Film 'Let It Be' Restored
"At last…" They're back again! Disney+ has revealed the main official trailer for a restored re-release of The Beatles classic 1970 film Let It Be, a music documentary about their last performance. This is a follow-up to Peter Jackson's acclaimed docu-series The Beatles: Get Back, which debuted streaming back in 2021 during the pandemic. Jackson took a lot of footage, re-edited it, and presented it exactly as it was shot to return everyone to 1969/1970 when the band was at the end of their time. This doc film re-release also does the same, with even more footage that wasn't in the Get Back series. Let It Be is the filmed account of The Beatles' attempt to recapture their old group spirit by making a back to basics album, which instead drove them further apart. With director Michael Lindsay-Hogg's full support, Apple Corps asked Jackson's Park Road Post Production to dive into a meticulous restoration of the film from the original 16mm negative, which included lovingly remastering the sound using the same MAL de-mix technology that was applied to the Get Back docuseries. It will be available for streaming in a few weeks on D+. Check out the fresh footage.
First Look Teaser for 'Senna' Series Starring Gabriel Leone as the Driver
"I refuse to walk away from the fight." Netflix has revealed a teaser for the series Senna, a dramatized version of the story of famed Formula 1 race car driver Ayrton Senna. This is a biopic about the Brazilian racer and his legacy, including all of his victories and everything he achieved on and off the track. In this first teaser video for Senna, the limited series premiering in late 2024, we see the recreation of Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna's historic victory, including the narration of Galvão Bueno, at the 1991 Brazilian Grand Prix at Interlagos, following a challenging race where he was mostly stuck in sixth gear and also marking the first time he won in his hometown of Sao Paulo. We also see possible thoughts and experiences, interspersed with images of the race, that led Ayrton, played by Gabriel Leone, to this point in his career in addition to some iconic characters who were a part of his life that year: Xuxa (Pâmela Tomé), Alain Prost (Matt Mella) and the McLaren racing team principal, Ron Dennis (Patrick Kennedy) as well as Galvão Bueno (Gabriel Louchard). Many will remember the excellent doc film called Senna about him, now we have a series as well. This is an amazing teaser! Riveting and thrilling - yeah I'm sold on this right away. Fire it up.
Classic Trailer Rewatch: Ron Howard's True Story Thriller 'Apollo 13'
"Houston, we have a problem." This is easily one of my all-time favorite space movies. Ron Howard's docu-drama thriller Apollo 13 first opened in theaters in the summer of 1995, celebrating its 29th anniversary this year. The old 35mm trailer scanner YouTube recently posted a crisp 2160p scan of the original Apollo 13 trailer. Though this actually plays more like a teaser, setting up the story and stakes and characters without showing too much (the full trailer is also available right below it). In this movie based on a true story, NASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 (which launched in April 1970) to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy. Starring Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell, Kevin Bacon as Jack Swigert, Bill Paxton Fred Haise, and Ed Harris on the ground as Flight Director Gene Kranz. One of the most nerve-wracking survival movies ever, perfectly shot by Howard and his DP Dean Cundey to make it all feel so real, as if the actors were really up there in this tiny spacecraft. The score by James Horner is also an all-timer. What a stupendous movie - a real classic.
Rad Trailer for 'War of the Ninja Monsters: Jaron vs Goura' Kaiju Movie
The kaiju must battle! SRS Cinema has revealed a short official trailer for War of the Ninja Monsters: Jaron vs Goura, a homemade kaiju movie from Japanese filmmaker Shinpei Hayashiya. It's set for a Blu-ray release this summer from SRS Cinema - available to pre-order already on their site now. Hayashiya has been making super low budget, modern monster battle movies for years, also of the Reigo / Raiga / Ohga series (Reigo vs. Yamato and Raiga: The Monster from the Deep Sea) before this. The ninja monsters Jaron and Goura appear in the city of Chichibu, and rival ninja clans manipulate the ninja beasts into a fierce battle. The cast and crew includes suit actros Mizuho Yoshida (Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah: Giant Monsters All-Out Attack, Zeiram) and Akihiko Ohashi (Gamera 2: Attack Of Legion, Gamera 3: Revenge Iris), cinematographer / VFX / editor Masayuki Nagata, composer Yasuhiro Ueda, monster designer Shinji Nishikawa (Godzilla vs Biollante, Godzilla 2000), suit and prop makers Naofumi Kanamori and Tomohiro Matsumoto, and many others. This looks fun! I suppose the clunky look & feel is supposed to be an homage to all the classic Gojira / kaiju movies. If you love those movies, this one is for you. Have fun.

Adorable Full Trailer for Nature Doc 'Living with Leopards' on Netflix
"The first two years are incredibly dangerous… I had no idea where this story was going to go, but I knew by following this family I would open a window into a leopard's world that nobody has ever seen." Netflix has revealed a beautiful trailer for Living with Leopards, a fascinating nature doc about a leopard family living in Africa. An ambitious film crew follows the lives of two leopard cubs as they make the fascinating journey from infancy into adulthood in this up-close-and-personal nature documentary. Narrated by world-renowned wildlife cinematographer Brad Bestelink, who tells his own story about how he embedded in the outdoors to photograph this journey and follow these cubs. Whoa - this is an immensely fascinating trailer! Starts with this long, adorable sequence with the cubs. Then breaks out into this song ("Feet Don't Fail Me Now" by Joy Crookes) with stunning shots blending into each other. Wild! I'll admit they got my attention.
Festival Trailer for Love Story 'The Shameless' - Premiering in Cannes
"I'm not going anywhere without her." Screen Daily has revealed an early festival trailer for a romance film titled The Shameless, which is premiering at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival coming up soon. This is the latest film from Bulgarian director Konstantin Bojanov, leaving his homeland to tell a very different story set in India. It's premiering in the Un Certain Regard section at Cannes 2024. After killing a cop in a Delhi brothel, Renuka quietly escapes and takes refuge within a northern India community of sex workers. There, she begins a forbidden romance with the 17-year-old Devika, a young girl who is condemned to a life of prostitution. Against all odds, they will try to forge their path to freedom. As their connection deepens, together they will embark on a dangerous journey to escape the law and hopefully find their way to peace. This stars Anasuya Sengupta as Renuka, Omara as Devika, Auroshikha Dey, Rohit Kokate, Kiran Bhivagade, Tanmay Dhanania, and Mita Vashisht. This looks much more intense than just a nice love story - lots of complex dynamics, some heavy emotions, and tons of criticism about India's modern society.
