New Trailers
Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder faces the past, present, and future in Matter of Time — a raw, intimate portrait of an artist grappling with legacy, mortality, and the meaning of music.
The official teaser for Matter of Time offers a soulful glimpse into the life of Eddie Vedder, tracing the arc of a rock icon whose voice defined a generation. Part biopic, part philosophical meditation, the teaser is rich with archival footage, poetic narration, and behind-the-scenes moments that reveal the quieter side of a man often shrouded in myth.
We see Vedder in moments of reflection — strumming alone, walking near the ocean, or rehearsing with longtime collaborators — as voiceover muses on time, change, and the emotional cost of enduring fame. There’s an elegiac tone throughout, underscored by a stripped-down acoustic score that echoes his solo work.
Directed with reverence and restraint, Matter of Time appears less interested in sensationalizing Vedder’s life than in understanding it — framing his journey not just as a frontman, but as a father, husband, and seeker. The result is a teaser that feels deeply personal and universally resonant.
Chaos simmers in La Cocina, a feverish tale of desire, displacement, and survival set in the backroom heat of a New York City kitchen, where every order comes with a side of heartbreak.
Hand-picked by MUBI, La Cocina’s official trailer plates a pressure-cooked story of undocumented workers, forbidden love, and economic tension inside a Manhattan restaurant. Directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios (A Cop Movie), the film blurs the lines between kitchen realism and stylized chaos, capturing the clatter and rhythm of a kitchen on the brink.
We meet Pedro (Raúl Briones), a Mexican immigrant stuck in a cycle of long shifts and short tempers, whose romance with Julia (Rooney Mara), an enigmatic server, sparks both trouble and fleeting hope. Ruizpalacios orchestrates the trailer with pulsing momentum—cutting between sweat-soaked prep tables, locker room confessions, and protest scenes just outside the kitchen door.
With its handheld camerawork, grounded performances, and impressionistic detours, La Cocina promises a lyrical yet unflinching portrait of class and identity in modern-day America.
A new semester, a darker mystery. Wednesday returns with more gothic flair, familiar faces, and a few chilling surprises that only the Addams Family could deliver.
Netflix’s Wednesday: Season 2 sneak peek reintroduces us to Nevermore Academy with a brisk, eerie montage that signals the return of Jenna Ortega’s sharp-witted Wednesday Addams. This new teaser offers glimpses of the expanded Addams family, new classmates, and cryptic clues teasing the season’s deeper mythology.
While the footage is brief, it leans into fan-favorite aesthetics—black lace, deadpan humor, thunderous organ chords—hinting that the second season will go even darker while keeping its irreverent tone intact. Catherine Zeta-Jones, Luis Guzmán, and Isaac Ordonez reprise their roles as Morticia, Gomez, and Pugsley, respectively, alongside new additions that promise even more supernatural intrigue.
Directed with signature gothic panache, the sneak peek confirms that the show’s cult following is about to be rewarded with more macabre charm and mischief.
Community, creativity, and conflict collide in Slauson Rec, a vibrant coming-of-age snapshot that pulses with authenticity, rhythm, and LA soul.
The official trailer for Slauson Rec—fresh off its debut at Cannes—drops us into the heart of South Central Los Angeles, where a local rec center becomes both battleground and sanctuary for a new generation of dreamers. Directed with kinetic energy and raw sensitivity, the film captures the essence of youth culture, artistic expression, and the fight for safe communal spaces.
The trailer blends handheld realism with poetic visuals: kids rehearse dance moves, argue over rap verses, and navigate growing pains in the face of gentrification and systemic disinvestment. It’s as much a love letter to LA’s neighborhoods as it is a story about the universal tension between staying and striving.
Backed by an ensemble of breakout performances and a bass-heavy, West Coast soundtrack, Slauson Rec promises an electric, emotional ride through a world often unseen but deeply felt.
Death is just the beginning in The Mortician, a haunting new HBO drama where grief, legacy, and secrets are embalmed beneath every surface.
HBO’s The Mortician trailer invites viewers into a gothic, slow-burn drama anchored by a chilling performance and thick with atmosphere. Set in a small, decaying Southern town, the story follows a reclusive mortician whose job preserving the dead unearths truths the living can no longer bury.
As the trailer unfolds, we glimpse intimate rituals of embalming juxtaposed against broader societal decay—blurring the line between spiritual caretaker and unwilling detective. Cryptic conversations, storm-soaked porches, and candlelit interiors create a tone that feels equal parts Flannery O’Connor and Six Feet Under.
With its emphasis on mood, character, and mystery, The Mortician looks poised to deliver prestige television at its most elegiac and hypnotic. Expect nuanced storytelling, moral ambiguity, and deeply rooted Southern Gothic themes.
Heaven, hell, and Hollywood collide in Good Fortune, a surreal comedy from Aziz Ansari that turns the afterlife into the ultimate identity crisis.
The official teaser for Good Fortune offers a quick glimpse into Aziz Ansari’s high-concept directorial debut—a genre-bending comedy that pits cosmic dilemmas against earthly egos. Starring Seth Rogen, Keke Palmer, Keanu Reeves, and Ansari himself, the film appears to blur lines between satire, fantasy, and morality play.
In just under a minute, the teaser sets up a metaphysical premise where a man (Ansari) meets his guardian angel (Rogen) and begins to unravel the secret design behind his existence. Keke Palmer emerges as a fierce moral compass, while Keanu Reeves’s role—whether angel, devil, or something in between—adds mystery and weight.
Bright visuals, sharp one-liners, and existential absurdity suggest a tone somewhere between Defending Your Life and The Good Place, with a touch of Charlie Kaufman’s philosophical flair. Produced by Lionsgate, Good Fortune is scheduled to arrive later this year.
In Smoke, revenge is a ritual, grief is a currency, and memory is the battleground. Apple TV+ invites viewers into a world where what’s buried never stays hidden.
The official trailer for Smoke reveals a hypnotic revenge drama steeped in mystery and ritual. Set in a rural community cloaked in silence and scarred by the past, the series stars recurring Apple TV+ collaborators and an ensemble cast navigating generational trauma and elusive justice.
The trailer opens with hushed voices, ritual fires, and striking visuals of smoke drifting through forests and over cold landscapes. A narrator hints at an ancient code of honor, while the characters speak in whispers and warning. Tension simmers just below the surface—until a single act reignites long-dormant pain.
With stunning cinematography and a haunting score, Smoke promises an atmospheric journey through grief, retribution, and the stories we tell ourselves to survive. Apple TV+ positions the series as both slow-burn thriller and meditative character study—perfect for fans of Sharp Objects or The Third Day.
Desire, deception, and designer handbags collide in Materialists, Celine Song’s sultry follow-up to Past Lives—this time trading soulmates for status.
The third official trailer for A24’s Materialists intensifies the emotional and aesthetic stakes of Celine Song’s sophomore feature. Swapping the quiet yearning of Past Lives for something sharper, sexier, and more cynical, the film introduces Dakota Johnson as a luxury-obsessed matchmaker whose clients, and lovers, blur the lines between business and pleasure.
Set against a sharply stylized New York, the trailer teases a love triangle between Johnson, Pedro Pascal as a mysterious tech billionaire, and Chris Evans as a slick actor boyfriend. Dialogue crackles with flirtation and tension, while the visuals lean into high fashion, neon-lit dinner parties, and late-night confessions.
Song’s voice is unmistakable—cool, composed, and cutting. With Materialists, she explores the emotional cost of transactional love and the performances we stage to survive it. Expect tonal whiplash, designer-clad heartbreak, and award season buzz.
A decade of loss, rhythm, and survival collide in One Spoon of Chocolate, a lyrical portrait of brotherhood, ambition, and the poetry of growing up.
The trailer for One Spoon of Chocolate—written and directed by RZA—introduces a deeply personal coming-of-age story spanning the 1980s and ’90s. Set in Staten Island, the film follows young Divine (Shameik Moore) and his younger brother, Troy, as they navigate tragedy, hip-hop dreams, and fractured family dynamics over ten years.
Opening with grainy footage and raw voiceover, the trailer quickly immerses viewers in a world shaped by loss and creativity. We watch Divine wrestle with grief, look after his brother, and fall in love with music as a form of resistance. The film’s visual palette—earthy, warm, and nostalgic—evokes memory as much as it tells a story. RZA’s direction blends soulful introspection with an unfiltered view of growing up Black in 1990s New York.
Produced by Sphere Films and premiering at the 2025 Tribeca Film Festival, One Spoon of Chocolate promises a tender and urgent exploration of manhood, culture, and healing.
A honeymoon turns into a silent unraveling in I Don’t Understand You, a sharp, sun-soaked descent into isolation, love, and language barriers—with a European bite.
The official trailer for I Don’t Understand You introduces a darkly comic tale of romantic disconnect set against a picturesque Italian backdrop. Written and directed by David Craig and Michael Showalter, the film follows a newly married American couple whose dream honeymoon curdles into tension when they realize their inability to communicate with anyone—or each other.
As the trailer unfolds, we see Rudi Dharmalingam and Nick Kroll stumble through language classes, emotional meltdowns, and surreal interactions with locals. The film balances farce with melancholy, revealing how even love can get lost in translation. With scenic cinematography, awkward silences, and moments of brutal honesty, I Don’t Understand You offers a fresh take on the romantic breakdown genre.
Premiering at the 2025 Toronto International Film Festival, the film co-stars Eleonora Romandini, Lorenzo Richelmy, and Isabella Rossellini.
A mother’s intuition turns into survival instinct in Echo Valley, a gripping rural thriller where blood ties and buried secrets collide on sacred ground.
Apple TV+ drops the haunting trailer for Echo Valley, a psychological thriller led by Julianne Moore and Sydney Sweeney. Set in the misty hills of rural Pennsylvania, the film follows Kate (Moore), a grieving mother who runs a quiet horse training farm. When her estranged daughter Claire (Sweeney) shows up covered in blood, the peaceful valley becomes a crucible of dark secrets and moral reckonings.
Directed by Michael Pearce (Beast) and written by Brad Ingelsby (Mare of Easttown), the trailer balances eerie stillness with escalating dread. We see glimpses of shadowy barns, blurred headlights on backroads, and intimate moments where past traumas bubble to the surface. Moore’s restrained intensity and Sweeney’s raw urgency hint at layered performances grounded in grief, love, and instinct.
With its atmospheric cinematography, sparse dialogue, and emotional weight, Echo Valley appears to blend the character-driven storytelling of prestige television with the visual tension of classic thrillers. It’s not just a mystery—it’s a reckoning between mother and daughter, and everything they thought they left behind.
Undercover work gets personal in Deep Cover, a tense, stylish thriller where every move could be your last and loyalty is the deadliest gamble of all.
The official trailer for Deep Cover drops viewers into a murky world of deception, ambition, and blurred morality. Set within the high-stakes corridors of organized crime and law enforcement, the film follows an undercover operative who finds himself caught between duty and identity.
As the trailer unfolds, we see flashes of explosive confrontations, late-night surveillance, and internal reckoning—all underscored by a brooding score and slick visuals. The lead performance teases a character unraveling from the inside, as the line between criminal and cop grows dangerously thin.
Directed with noir-inspired flair and modern grit, Deep Cover feels like a spiritual successor to Donnie Brasco and The Departed, but with a sharper focus on contemporary racial and ethical tensions. It’s moody, morally complex, and dripping with suspense.

Genius or madman? In this tense new clip from The Mastermind, the lines between control, chaos, and consequence begin to blur.
The official clip from The Mastermind offers a taut, slow-burn moment that introduces us to the film’s enigmatic central figure. Played with unnerving calm, the titular mastermind reveals just enough of his plan to keep the audience—and his adversaries—on edge. The setting is minimal, the dialogue razor-sharp, and the tension thick enough to cut with a glance.
Directed with precision and dark flair, the clip teases the cerebral tone of the full feature. Whether it’s a criminal operation or a psychological chess match, The Mastermind promises a story rooted in control, manipulation, and a deep dive into the mind of a character who always seems one step ahead.
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.
