A coming of age dramedy where a young woman meets her middle aged self during a spiritual journey (drugs), who teaches her about life and advises her to avoid the pitfalls. It looks like that recurring Julie Nolke skit with a dash of TNG’s Tapestry. Starring Aubrey Plaza and probably some other people.
Humanist Vampire Seeks Consenting Suicidal Person
A dark comedy from France about a young vampire with the vampiric equivalent of veganism being pushed by her family to make her first kill. And yes, the romance looks better than Twilight.
Automatically Appended Next Post: With Nosferatu and Abigail earlier on, this is looking like a great year for vampire movies.
Is the old Nosferatu streaming anywhere?

Watched the last half of Enemy Mine on Turner Classic Movies last night and it reminded me that I hadn't seen anyone mention the announced remake here:
Terry Matalas, the showrunner who steered the final season of Star Trek: Picard to new ratings and critical heights, has been tapped to write an update of the 1985 cult sci-fi movie Enemy Mine for 20th Century Studios.
Set in a future where mankind is warring with a reptilian alien species, Mine starred Dennis Quaid as a human pilot and Louis Gossett Jr. as an alien who crash land on a desolate planet. Both have deep-seated hatred for one another, but are forced to overcome their prejudices to survive. Things are taken up a notch when the human pilot must take care of the alien’s baby when the reptilian is no longer able.
Mine was the English-language debut of German filmmaker Wolfgang Petersen, who took over the project after 20th Century Fox fired original director Richard Loncraine during production. The imbroglio, which necessitated reshooting the film, ballooned the budget, with more woe coming when the movie crash landed at the box office.
Years later, however, the movie enjoyed a reappraisal, with many lauding its themes of tolerance and respect, earning it a cult following.

Donald Glover plays a musician who wakes up to the end of the world and finds himself the useless tagalong to a band of survivors. It’s an action-comedy apocalypse movie, so it looks to have strong Shawn of the Dead and World’s End vibes.
Unless the reviews come back with insane audience reactions, it’s probably a streamer.
Automatically Appended Next Post: Enemy Mine already felt like it had a bunch of action crammed in by studio notes. I can’t imagine what the remake would look like in this era where the studios wield unlimited power.

Not a movie, but based on the 'Time Bandits' movie and now an Apple+ series

This manga is actually rather old, but it is a fantastic dark fantasy/revenge story in the style of Beserk.
It has the benefit of now being a completed series to boot as the manga wrapped up in 2019 after a fifteen year run and I have been waiting for an anime adaptation for a long time.
I don't even know how to process Time Bandits returning - I'm a tiny bit hopeful as the trailer does have a lot of quirky energy to it that the original had - though it seems that the whole squad of Bandits won't be dwarves this time around.
Ubel Blatt looks really cool - honestly when they do "serious" DnD style adventuring manga/anime can come up with some really thrilling adventures!
CINCINNATI - The new Superman movie will be filming in Cincinnati on July 18 with real-life police officers as cast members.
This comes as the Cincinnati Museum Center announced on its website on Saturday that Union Terminal will be closed to the public for a "private event rental" on the same date.
While the Museum Center has not confirmed what the event is for, there has been previous reporting that Union Terminal has been discussed as a potential setting for the Justice League's headquarters in the film, as Union Terminal is the building that Hanna-Barbera cartoonist Al Gmuer originally based the Justice League's headquarters off of in the animated television series "Super Friends".
"Super Friends" was based off of DC Comics' pre-existing "Justice League of America" comic book series and ran on Saturday mornings on ABC between 1973 and 1985.
This shared history has led to speculation among many on social media that the filming date and the closing of the Museum Center are related.
Previously, real-life police officers, firefighters, paramedics, and military members have already been called upon in Cincinnati to film scenes across six different dates within the past month, according to a casting call for the movie seen by WLWT.
July 18 is the last listed date on the casting call for the movie's filming dates in Cincinnati.
Once completed, the movie will be the latest installation of the long-running Superman film franchise.
The last appearance of the man of steel in film was in 2017 for "Justice League". However, Superman has not had a starring role since 2016, when the superhero appeared in 2016's widely panned "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice".
The newest franchise addition, simply titled "Superman", will star David Corenswet in the titular role according to the movie's IMDB page. Rachel Brosnahan will play the role of Lois Lane, while Nicholas Hoult will play Lex Luthor.
This comes as Cleveland has been abuzz with several sightings of Corenswet and the movie's production crew throughout the past week among Cleveland news outlets, including one such sighting at Progressive Field, the home of the Cleveland Guardians.
The film is currently set for theatrical release on July 11, 2025.
II would love to see the real-life inspiration for the Hall of Justice on the big screen

I'm hearing good things about Long Legs, and the trailer looks intense. Might be selective editing and production put into the trailer, but it looks like a scarier version of Silence of the Lambs with an occult twist.
Think it came out this weekend.
"Sometimes the only victory possible is to keep your opponent from winning." - The Emperor, from The Outcast Dead.
"Tell your gods we are coming for them, and that their realms will burn as ours did." -Thostos Bladestorm
It is absolutely selective editing, but in the way people always say they want in that it isn't giving away everything. Could you even tell from the trailer Nicholas Cage is in the film? It is keeping secrets and you should go find out what they are.
Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

Before my Borderlands experience I was subjected to dozens of trailers. Too many..... and I love previews!
I was horrified to see it was almost all horror movies (I guess October is right around the corner), re-boots, or needless sequels. I mean; Beetlejuice 2, Smile 2, Alien: Romulus, The Crow,etc. Who wants these? No one. They will all probably bomb.
There was only one original film that caught my eye by Dreamworks called The Wild Robot. The trailer tells you everything about the movie, but the trailer rocked hard with so many twists and genre swaps just in the trailer. It looked interesting.
There was also a new John Wick movie, only starring Batista. The premise was amusing, but the rest looks pretty by-the-numbers.
There was also a Channing Tatum led horror movie called Blink Twice that looked like it thought it was really clever, but I don't think it will be as clever as it wants us to think it is going to be. If that made any sense.....

Not only has Prey proven those old chestnuts still have some legs, but the trailers suggest they’ve at least nailed the overall atmosphere. That difference between dingey and dark, where you can never be quite sure if that thing just about visible is a pipe or a Xenomorph.

Here is what I took from the trailer. If you like Alien you should probably just go watch Alien. It looks like Scott as the Producer is just having the new director make their version of the original Alien. Fair enough, but nothing new to see there really.
Reminds me of how The Force Awakens is basically just A New Hope again.
