They’re bad, they’re back, and they’re trying to be… good-ish? The Bad Guys 2 revs up the charm, chaos, and car chases in a slick new trailer.
The official second trailer for The Bad Guys 2 brings more action, attitude, and unexpected heart as our favorite animal outlaws return for another stylish heist-adjacent adventure. This time, Mr. Wolf, Mr. Snake, and the gang are reluctantly pulled back into the criminal world they tried to leave behind—only now the stakes are higher, and the rules are blurrier.
With DreamWorks’ signature animation style, kinetic set pieces, and whip-smart humor, the trailer promises a sequel that doubles down on everything fans loved from the original. There’s a new villain on the scene, a few surprise allies, and a moral dilemma that puts the crew’s “good guy” image to the test.
Slicker, snappier, and sharper than ever, The Bad Guys 2 is shaping up to be one of the most entertaining animated releases of the year—with lessons in loyalty, redemption, and, of course, getaway driving.
Class is back in session—and it’s creepier than ever. Wednesday returns with more mystery, mayhem, and macabre charm in its Season 2 trailer.
The new trailer for Wednesday: Season 2 welcomes us back to Nevermore Academy, where Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) remains as sharp-tongued and sharp-minded as ever. But this time, the stakes are higher, the shadows darker, and the secrets even more twisted.
As the trailer teases, a new mystery has surfaced—one that forces Wednesday to confront both external enemies and her own growing powers. Friendships are tested, alliances are strained, and the body count might just climb. With slick gothic visuals, a richer ensemble, and an even more confident Ortega at the helm, Season 2 promises to deepen the mythology without losing the deadpan humor that made the first season a global sensation.
From cryptic visions to crypt-side conversations, this season blends supernatural teen drama with the Addams Family’s signature black comedy—and raises the bar for what a Netflix original series can be.
A sun-soaked coastal town becomes a pressure cooker of obsession, illness, and unspoken truths in Hot Milk, a hypnotic new psychodrama from director Rebecca Lenkiewicz.
The official trailer for Hot Milk offers a tantalizing look at a film drenched in Mediterranean light and emotional unease. Starring Emma Mackey as Sofia, a young woman navigating her strained relationship with her ailing mother (Vicky Krieps), the film explores dependency, desire, and the delicate line between liberation and escape.
Set in a remote Spanish village, Hot Milk adapts Deborah Levy’s acclaimed novel with lyrical precision. The trailer teases Sofia’s encounters with seductive strangers, cryptic doctors, and the slow unraveling of her reality. Fiona Shaw adds gravitas as a woman who seems to know more than she lets on, while the coastal setting evokes a dreamlike tension—a paradise tinged with menace.
Blending psychological depth with sensual imagery, Hot Milk is a meditation on female identity, power, and emotional inheritance. The trailer hints at a story where nothing is what it seems—and everything feels like it might burn.
Simmering desire, sun-soaked tension, and surreal disorientation—Hot Milk is a fever dream of a mother-daughter bond unraveling on the Mediterranean coast.
The official trailer for Hot Milk sets the tone for a sultry psychological drama where emotional dependency and existential yearning collide. Adapted from Deborah Levy’s acclaimed novel, the film follows Sofia (Naomi Scott), a restless young woman accompanying her ailing mother Rose (Juliet Stevenson) to a remote Spanish clinic that promises a cure—but delivers something much stranger.
Beneath the idyllic seaside setting lies a story of smothered freedom, unreliable narration, and subconscious rebellion. The trailer blends elliptical visuals with eerie music and cryptic dialogue, teasing a descent into self-exploration and madness. Naomi Scott’s performance glows with inner conflict, while Stevenson brings enigmatic power to a mother whose illness might be as much emotional as physical.
Directed with painterly elegance and unsettling restraint, Hot Milk plays like a cross between Elena Ferrante and The Talented Mr. Ripley—a hazy meditation on femininity, control, and the fine line between devotion and destruction.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is back in action—again. FUBAR Season 2 cranks up the chaos, family dysfunction, and international espionage in Netflix’s sharpest spy comedy.
The official trailer for FUBAR: Season 2 picks up right where the explosive first season left off: father-daughter CIA operatives (Arnold Schwarzenegger and Monica Barbaro) still navigating a covert life filled with lies, love triangles, and ludicrously large explosions.
This time, the stakes are bigger, the missions more dangerous, and the cover-ups increasingly ridiculous. From banana republics to Berlin, the duo juggle global threats and personal baggage, all while trading one-liners as easily as gunfire. Schwarzenegger’s charm and comedic timing remain razor-sharp, and Barbaro continues to shine as his equally lethal and exasperated daughter.
The trailer teases new villains, more high-tech gadgets, and a relentless pace that combines True Lies-style action with Netflix’s signature streaming swagger. Expect wild stunts, family therapy on the run, and enough slow-motion strutting to power a Bond marathon.
What begins as a quiet retreat turns into a fight for survival in Off the Grid, a tense and timely thriller where isolation becomes the ultimate danger.
The official trailer for Off the Grid introduces a rugged, high-stakes survival story set deep in the wilderness. Josh Duhamel leads a group of old friends—including characters played by Greg Kinnear and Peter Stormare—on a digital detox getaway meant to reconnect them with nature and each other. But their peaceful retreat quickly spirals into a violent standoff when they discover they’re not as alone as they thought.
With haunting cinematography and a creeping sense of dread, the trailer hints at a layered mystery involving government surveillance, rogue survivalists, and buried secrets. As tensions rise and alliances fracture, the line between friend and foe blurs in a place where there’s no signal—and no way out.
Directed with gritty intensity, Off the Grid explores paranoia, masculinity, and the myth of control in a world increasingly dictated by technology and fear. This isn’t just a thriller—it’s a warning.
Jason Momoa leads a sweeping, blood-stained epic in Chief of War, Apple TV+’s new historical saga set during the unification of Hawaii. Power, land, and legacy collide in this visceral first look.
Apple TV+ has unveiled the official teaser for Chief of War, a historical action series co-created by and starring Jason Momoa. Set in 18th-century Hawaii, the show chronicles the epic story of Ka’iana—a formidable warrior caught in the tides of war, colonization, and rebellion as various island kingdoms clash for control.
The teaser is visually arresting: volcanic landscapes, ancient rituals, and brutal battles captured with sweeping cinematography and intense physicality. Momoa, both behind and in front of the camera, brings a magnetic presence as a man torn between personal loyalty and political destiny.
As drums pound and warriors charge, the clip teases a series steeped in culture and combat. Fans of The Last Kingdomand See will find plenty to admire here, but Chief of War promises a deeper, more grounded exploration of identity, resistance, and ancestral pride.
Life, once again, finds a way. In Jurassic World: Rebirth, the past roars back with prehistoric vengeance. This second official trailer teases a world on the edge—where survival means evolving fast
The second official trailer for Jurassic World: Rebirth dives deeper into a new era of dino-chaos. Set years after the events of Dominion, the world is no longer divided between man and monster—it’s entangled. As ecosystems collapse and apex predators reclaim the planet, a fractured humanity must reckon with its own extinction-level hubris.
Featuring a fresh cast of survivors and legacy characters returning from the shadows, this trailer ups the ante with larger-scale action, nightmarish new species, and a tone more grounded in survival horror than spectacle. Jungle ambushes. Neon-lit city chases. Mutated hybrids. And at the heart of it: a moral reckoning about what we resurrect and why.
Directed with sleek menace and visual grit, Rebirth is shaping up to be the boldest reimagining of the franchise since Spielberg’s original vision—trading nostalgia for tension, and wonder for raw instinct.
Chaos is the cost of greatness. The Bear returns for its fourth season, raising the heat in Chicago’s most volatile kitchen. With Carmy, Sydney, and Richie balancing fine dining with emotional fallout, the stakes have never been higher.
The official trailer for Season 4 of FX’s The Bear teases another pressure-cooker chapter in the lives of Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach). After the whirlwind success—and collapse—of their opening service, the new season dives deeper into perfectionism, partnership, and personal redemption.
Carmy is still haunted by his past while trying to build something extraordinary in the present. Sydney faces creative doubts as the restaurant’s vision becomes harder to define, and Richie—now transformed by his front-of-house awakening—steps up as both emotional anchor and unexpected leader.
The trailer pulses with familiar anxiety: ticking clocks, slammed doors, spinning plates. But beneath the tension is something more vulnerable—a search for purpose, connection, and control in a world that rarely offers any. With returning appearances from Matty Matheson, Liza Colón-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Oliver Platt, The Bear is still television’s most emotionally charged—and most beautifully shot—half-hour drama.
Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Matt Smith get dragged into the underground in this blood-soaked noir.
A wrong turn, a stolen cat, and a city that never sleeps—Caught Stealing drops viewers into a feverish New York crime spiral where every choice leads further into hell. Austin Butler leads a high-style, high-body-count plunge into noir chaos.
In the official trailer for Caught Stealing, Austin Butler transforms into Hank Thompson, a washed-up former ballplayer whose past glory fades fast as he’s pulled into a violent underground war in 1990s Manhattan. Adapted from Charlie Huston’s cult crime novel, the film is directed by rising stylists Dane Hallett and Patrick Meaney and backed by a trio of scene-stealing co-stars: Zoë Kravitz, Matt Smith, and Evan Rachel Wood.
The trailer kicks off with an act of kindness—taking care of a neighbor’s cat—that quickly unravels into a brutal collision with mobsters, drug fiends, and double-crosses. Butler’s transformation is total: bloodied, unhinged, and barely holding on as he navigates a city pulsing with danger.
With Zoë Kravitz playing a sharp-tongued accomplice and Matt Smith radiating menace as a crooked detective with a bone to pick, the film promises tightly wound tension and midnight-movie swagger. Neon-lit and bathed in grit, Caught Stealing evokes the kinetic madness of Run Lola Run with the bruised masculinity of Taxi Driver and the snarl of Killing Them Softly.
A sun-drenched love letter to cinema’s rebellious heart, Nouvelle Vague pairs Zoey Deutch with director Richard Linklater for a romantic, reflexive spin through Godardian mood and modern malaise. A film about falling in love—with movies, with people, with Paris.
The official trailer for Nouvelle Vague teases Richard Linklater’s latest entry into metatextual cinema, starring Zoey Deutch as a restless American film student who spirals into the smoke and mirrors of 1960s-obsessed Paris. The film appears to drift somewhere between homage and invention, riffing on French New Wave aesthetics while embedding a more personal, present-day story underneath the filters and fedoras.
Deutch’s character navigates a romance with a reclusive auteur (played by Gaspard Ulliel in one of his final on-screen roles), while staging a short film that mimics the style of Truffaut and Godard. The trailer leans heavily on black-and-white footage, jump cuts, and grainy texture, complete with retro title cards and disjointed voiceover about life, time, and cinema.
Winking, wistful, and soaked in cinephile longing, Nouvelle Vague looks to be a film within a film—Linklater’s ode to youthful delusion, artistic obsession, and the fantasy of Europe through the lens of someone always arriving just a little too late.
From the mind of acclaimed visualist Shawn Christensen comes ALPHA, a cold-blooded descent into corporate psychosis and primal identity. In a glass tower built on secrets, an ambitious assistant finds herself caught between servitude and survival.
The official teaser for ALPHA introduces a sleek and chilling world where boardrooms are battlegrounds and civility is just a thin layer over instinct. Directed by Oscar-winner Shawn Christensen (Curfew, The Vanishing of Sidney Hall), the film stars Alice Braga and directed in part by rising auteur Karl Glusman in a tale of inner beast versus polished surface.
The teaser is a study in restraint: sharp cuts, ambient dread, and cryptic exchanges hint at psychological warfare inside a luxury Manhattan high-rise. Hushed power plays and whispered betrayals unfold as Alice Braga’s character begins to unravel the behaviors of her enigmatic boss, played with icy control by Raúl Castillo.
With its haunting score and sterile color palette, ALPHA blends the paranoia of Eyes Wide Shut with the oppressive ambition of The Assistant. This is a world where evolution is currency and dominance comes in tailored suits.
ALPHA hits theaters this October, inviting audiences to ask: beneath the office politics, who’s really in control?

In My Father’s Shadow, memories linger like ghosts—and sometimes, they speak. This gripping new clip teases the emotional reckoning at the heart of the film.
The official clip from My Father’s Shadow offers a haunting glimpse into a fractured legacy. Set in a quiet, dimly lit interior, the moment captures a charged exchange between a young woman and the fading echoes of her late father’s influence. Grief, anger, and unfinished business hang in the air like static.
Visually restrained but emotionally volatile, the scene is a masterclass in subtle storytelling. There are no raised voices—just glances, withheld truths, and the quiet ache of things left unsaid. The father’s presence, whether real or imagined, casts a long psychological shadow over the daughter’s every move.
With intimate cinematography and powerful performances, this clip signals a drama built on emotional excavation. My Father’s Shadow is less about ghosts and more about inheritance—the wounds passed down, and the courage it takes to finally confront them.
Ana de Armas stares down destiny in Ballerina’s chilling new clip—because in this world, even the mention of “Baba Yaga” carries blood-soaked consequences.
In the official clip titled “Baba Yaga”, Ballerina unveils a moment of high-stakes reckoning. Ana de Armas’s character, Rooney, comes face to face with the dark legend of the John Wick underworld: the Baba Yaga. The name alone evokes fear, respect, and a whole lot of violence—and now, it’s her turn to live up to the myth.
Set in the neon-soaked, gunmetal world of Wick’s Continental-connected universe, the scene is quiet but deadly. Rooney is poised, precise, and entirely aware of the legacy she’s inherited. The clip pulses with tension, hinting at a story rooted in vengeance, ritual, and an unspoken code of survival.
With de Armas exuding controlled fury and grace, this preview teases the spiritual and stylistic inheritance of Wick’s bloodline—proof that Ballerina won’t just dance around its action pedigree. It’s ready to own it.
Tom Cruise and Christopher McQuarrie sit down for a rare, in-depth look at their most explosive collaborations—from death-defying stunts to redefining genre filmmaking.
In this official behind-the-scenes breakdown, Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie revisit some of their most iconic collaborations, including Mission: Impossible, Jack Reacher, and Edge of Tomorrow. The video offers a candid and technical look into the creative process behind some of the most influential action films of the last two decades.
The conversation spans Cruise’s obsession with practical effects, the evolution of Ethan Hunt, the underrated grit of Jack Reacher, and the genre-bending brilliance of Edge of Tomorrow. McQuarrie dissects the challenges of staging complex sequences while preserving emotional stakes, while Cruise emphasizes rhythm, trust, and the pursuit of on-screen authenticity.
More than a promo, this is a masterclass. Whether you’re a filmmaker, a franchise fan, or just curious about what makes Tom Cruise run—this video is essential viewing.
Ana de Armas goes full Wick in Ballerina. In this pulse-pounding clip, elegance meets execution as she runs out of bullets—but not options.
In the official clip titled “Out Of Bullets”, Ballerina star Ana de Armas proves she’s more than ready to inherit the John Wick legacy. Set in the neon-lit, blood-soaked underworld fans know well, the scene finds her character cornered, disarmed, and outgunned—until she turns the room itself into a weapon.
Graceful but lethal, the choreography delivers a fresh spin on the franchise’s signature gun-fu style. De Armas moves with balletic precision and cold determination, elevating every move into a spectacle of survival. The clip teases the film’s blend of stylized violence and emotional grit, with a character driven not by revenge—but necessity.
Directed by Len Wiseman and set between the events of John Wick: Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, Ballerina expands the Wick universe with a female lead who moves like a dancer but strikes like an assassin. This is just a taste of the carnage to come.
A24’s latest promo for Friendship captures the complicated beauty of connection—through glances, silence, and stolen moments. It’s a meditation on intimacy and impermanence, wrapped in under ten minutes.
In the official promo for Friendship, A24 presents a soft-glow montage of the film’s emotional core—highlighting fleeting connections and deep undercurrents that define its quiet power. The clip doesn’t give away plot points. Instead, it leans into atmosphere: long-held stares, subtle smiles, the tension of words unsaid.
Told through fragments and feelings, the promo sets a tone of aching nostalgia and understated vulnerability. Set to a haunting instrumental track, it evokes the work of Sofia Coppola and Andrew Haigh—evocative, elliptical, emotionally resonant.
The characters may barely speak, but the message is clear: Friendship is about everything in between. The clip lingers where most trailers cut—on stillness, on breath, on the moment just before someone leaves. It’s art-house marketing at its finest.
The cast of Materialists puts their rom-com knowledge to the test in this charming promo where Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans take turns guessing iconic love lines. It’s nostalgia, laughter, and flirtation—all wrapped up in one playful clip.
In this lighthearted official promo for Materialists, stars Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, and Chris Evans challenge each other to a rapid-fire game of “Guess the Romance Movie Line.” From Notting Hill to The Notebook, the trio relives some of cinema’s most swoon-worthy quotes while revealing their own rom-com instincts—and occasional blanks.
Set against a candy-colored backdrop that mirrors the film’s luxe-meets-love aesthetic, the clip teases not just chemistry between the actors but the tongue-in-cheek tone of the film itself. Johnson and Pascal are effortlessly funny, Evans plays it cool, and the entire interaction radiates star power and playful intimacy.
Part press junket, part viral-ready content, this promo doesn’t just sell the movie—it sells the vibe. If Materialists is about the high-gloss messiness of modern romance, this is the perfect sneak peek into its heart.
In this tender and charged new clip, Sentimental Value previews the raw emotional terrain of grief, family, and unspoken tension. A single conversation cracks open a history, and the silences speak louder than the words.
The official clip from Sentimental Value offers an early look at what promises to be one of the year’s most intimate and affecting dramas. The film centers on a fractured family reunited by loss—and forced to navigate the terrain of memory, resentment, and reconciliation.
In this moment, a quiet kitchen exchange between two siblings swells with unresolved history. The performances are taut, the dialogue restrained, and the camera lingers just long enough to let discomfort rise. There’s a tension in what’s said—and what isn’t—that evokes the emotional intensity of films like Manchester by the Sea and The Savages.
Directed with a soft, observational lens, Sentimental Value appears to be less about plot than presence. A film that asks its characters—and audience—not to move on, but to move through.
Natasha Lyonne brings her singular, off-kilter charisma to the closet in this playful fashion short that fuses vintage glamour, deadpan wit, and New York edge. It’s not just a styling video—it’s a vibe check.
In this latest installment of Closet Picks, Natasha Lyonne opens up her wardrobe and her worldview in equal measure. Part fashion haul, part existential monologue, the Poker Face and Russian Doll star curates a lineup of personal pieces that are equal parts “studio lot grandma” and “downtown art dealer who may or may not time travel.”
Lyonne, known for her gravel-voiced delivery and unmatched taste in oddball cool, brings out statement coats, archival eyewear, and a truly chaotic array of footwear, narrating each selection with that signature mix of sarcasm and sincerity. Between references to Patti Smith, vintage Issey Miyake, and “weird aunt in a Bergman film,” the video is as much about attitude as it is about aesthetics.
This isn’t just celebrity styling—it’s character study through clothing. And in a sea of trend-chasing fashion content, Lyonne reminds us that true style is the one thing you can’t fake.
Marvel peels back the curtain on its grittiest ensemble yet with Thunderbolts—or rather, T̶h̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶b̶o̶l̶t̶s̶ —a film already subverting expectations before it even hits theaters. In this high-tension clip, the new squad faces its first catastrophic test.
In the latest official clip titled “It’s Coming Right At Us”, Marvel Studios offers a high-stakes peek at Thunderbolts—or, as stylized, T̶h̶u̶n̶d̶e̶r̶b̶o̶l̶t̶s̶—the film being rebranded by fans and insiders alike as The New Avengers. The footage drops us straight into the chaos: a helicopter spiraling, an impossible enemy closing in, and a team of deeply flawed antiheroes realizing just how over their heads they really are.
Sebastian Stan’s Bucky Barnes leads the charge alongside Florence Pugh’s Yelena Belova, David Harbour’s Red Guardian, and Wyatt Russell’s U.S. Agent. As the team argues over tactics while under fire, the clip teases not only Marvel’s signature humor but a darker, more grounded tone reminiscent of The Winter Soldier and Rogue One.
Pitched as Marvel’s messiest team-up yet, Thunderbolts looks to challenge the MCU formula—less shiny suits, more moral gray. And if this clip is any indication, the stakes are going to be real, brutal, and personal.
Wes Anderson expands his pastel-drenched universe with The Phoenician Scheme, a film that merges precision, paranoia, and politics. In this new featurette, the filmmaker invites us inside his meticulously controlled world, where order and absurdity live side by side.
In The World – the official featurette for The Phoenician Scheme – director Wes Anderson, along with stars Saoirse Ronan, Willem Dafoe, and Edward Norton, offer a rare glimpse into the film’s layered production design and surreal geopolitical satire.
Set within an imagined Mediterranean nation teetering between bureaucracy and breakdown, Anderson crafts a story that feels simultaneously antique and terrifyingly current. The featurette walks viewers through the film’s miniature dioramas, intricate sets, and period-costume politics, all rendered in Anderson’s signature visual grammar: symmetrical framing, retro typography, and understated hysteria.
From the Ministry of Calculation to the rooftop gardens of The Grand Archive, every environment is imbued with allegory. As Ronan describes, “It’s not just a place. It’s a system.” Meanwhile, Dafoe and Norton discuss the tension beneath the whimsy—how comedy and control clash in a world ruled by logic and legacy.
At just over two minutes, the video offers a window into the thematic architecture behind the film—a narrative maze where algorithms, nationalism, and identity converge.
Sex Education & White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood steps into the Criterion Collection closet and reveals the films that shaped her worldview, sense of humor, and love of performance.
In this edition of Criterion’s beloved Closet Picks series, BAFTA-winning actor Aimee Lou Wood curates a personal lineup from the shelves of the Criterion Collection. With infectious warmth and wry insight, Wood walks us through titles that have inspired her—from slapstick comedies and auteur deep cuts to stories that challenged her perspective as both viewer and performer.
As she shares anecdotes about watching films like The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie and Grey Gardens, Wood speaks with the reverence of a cinephile and the charm of a natural-born storyteller. The selections offer a revealing glimpse into the inner world of one of Britain’s most exciting young actors.
Whether she’s fangirling over classic screwball heroines or analyzing the emotional architecture of European dramas, this first-look featurette proves that Wood isn’t just a great performer—she’s a thoughtful curator of cinema itself.
Tom Cruise and director Christopher McQuarrie push action filmmaking to new extremes in this behind-the-scenes look at the SnorriCam rig—one of The Final Reckoning’s boldest visual tools.
In this immersive behind-the-scenes featurette, Paramount Pictures highlights one of the wildest visual techniques in Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning: the Snorri rig. Attached directly to Tom Cruise’s body during high-intensity action scenes, this custom camera setup captures the world from Ethan Hunt’s exact point of view—tilting, spinning, and jolting with every movement.
Director Christopher McQuarrie and DP Fraser Taggart discuss the rig’s origins, its creative intent, and the technical challenges of filming while Cruise dangles off cliffs, dodges explosions, and fights mid-sprint. Cruise, ever the adrenaline-fueled auteur, embraces the rig’s disorienting realism as a way to bring audiences deeper into the film’s most nerve-shredding moments.
It’s an approach that doesn’t just document stunts—it transforms them into subjective, surreal experiences. With The Final Reckoning, Mission: Impossible continues to evolve the language of blockbuster cinema, one daring shot at a time.
Marvel peels back the curtain on Thunderbolts with a behind-the-scenes look at the film’s “Void Space” sequence—an eerie, high-concept set piece that merges cutting-edge VFX with psychological tension.
In this exclusive featurette, Marvel Studios takes fans inside one of Thunderbolts’ most mysterious and talked-about set pieces: the Void Space. Designed to test the limits of the film’s anti-heroes, the Void Space is more than just a location—it’s a surreal psychological gauntlet that fractures identity, memory, and trust.
Director Jake Schreier and production designer Ethan Tobman break down the origins of the Void, while cast members Florence Pugh, Wyatt Russell, and Sebastian Stan share what it was like to act in such a disorienting and emotionally charged space. The BTS footage showcases immersive LED volumes, minimalistic set builds, and haunting in-camera effects that helped create one of the MCU’s boldest visual experiments to date.
As Marvel moves into darker narrative territory, this look behind the Void offers a glimpse into a creative evolution—and a reminder that even in a superhero movie, space itself can be the enemy.
Celine Song returns with her follow-up to Past Lives, shifting from quiet romance to biting satire with Materialists—a sharp, stylish New York tale of love, money, and emotional negotiation. This First Look teases a film that’s both intimate and fashion-forward, a high-gloss portrait of contemporary longing.
In Materialists, writer-director Celine Song (Past Lives) delves into the transactional nature of modern relationships, setting her new film amidst the elite of Manhattan’s dating and wealth scenes. The story follows a matchmaker—played by Dakota Johnson—whose personal and professional lives blur as she finds herself caught between passion, ambition, and the emotional cost of connection.
Co-starring Pedro Pascal and Chris Evans, the film unfolds in luxury townhomes, downtown art galleries, and discreet restaurants where romance is as curated as a portfolio. Song’s touch remains deeply human, but here it’s delivered with a sharper wit and a playful commentary on status and seduction.
This first look promises a film as emotionally intelligent as it is visually striking, where intimacy is currency and no connection is without its cost.
