I’ve just spotted this new punchy trailer of Ben-Hur, Timur Bekmambetov’s take on the cult sword-and-sandal movie:

BEN-HURPlot synopsis:
“The epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title, separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but finds redemption. Based on Lew Wallace’s timeless novel, Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.”

From this trailer of Ben-Hur could think the film is the bastard child of 300 Rise of an Empire and Gladiator, lol…

Ben-Hur will race in theaters on August 19, 2016.

A DATE FOR MAD MARYPlot synopsis:
“The film tells the story of ‘Mad’ Mary McArdle returning to Drogheda after a short spell in prison – for something she’d rather forget. Back home, everything and everyone has changed. Her best friend, Charlene, is about to get married and Mary is maid of honour. When Charlene refuses Mary a ‘plus one’ on the grounds that she probably couldn’t find a date, Mary becomes determined to prove her wrong. But her attempts at dating are a disaster and she winds up feeling more alone… until she meets Jess and everything changes.
It is a tough and tender story about friendship, first love, and letting go of the glory days.”

Poor Mary… In real life she’d have a date in no time though because she’s definitely a cutie, and men are on the lookout for easy preys, lol!

There’s a new fill-length trailer for KINGSGLAIVE FINAL FANTASY 15, the upcoming science-fiction CG animated movie directed by Takeshi Nozue and based on Square Enix’s popular Japanese RPG vidgame:

KINGSGLAIVE FINAL FANTASY XVPlot synopsis:
“The plot takes place on the Earth-like world of Eos, occurring in parallel to the opening events of Final Fantasy XV. Eos is divided into multiple nations which once held magical crystals; now, the kingdom of Lucis is the only nation to possess a crystal, which the ruling Caelum dynasty uses to defend themselves from invaders via a magical barrier. In recent years, the militaristic and technologically-advanced empire of Niflheim has conquered the other nations and is currently at war with Lucis. In this war, Lucis is protected by the Kingsglaive—an elite unit wielding the royal family’s magical power. The film opens with the reigning king, Regis Lucis Caelum CXIII, accepting terms of peace with Niflheim: as part of the treaty, Regis must cede the territories around the crown city of Insomnia to Niflheim and marry his son Prince Noctis to Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, former princess of Tenebrae.”

Do you side with superstitious people who rely on a magical crystal? Or do you side with the technologically-advanced people who embrace science? Why?

Release date: July 29, 2016.

Thanks to Lionsgate here’s the first official trailer of Hacksaw Ridge, the upcoming war drama biography movie directed by Mel Gibson and starring Andrew Garfield, Sam Worthington, Luke Bracey, Teresa Palmer, Hugo Weaving, Rachel Griffiths and Vince Vaughn.

HACKSAW RIDGE

Based on the incredible true story.

Plot synopsis:
“The extraordinary true story of Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) who, in Okinawa during the bloodiest battle of WWII, saved 75 men without firing or carrying a gun. He was the only American soldier in WWII to fight on the front lines without a weapon, as he believed that while the war was justified, killing was nevertheless wrong. As an army medic, he single-handedly evacuated the wounded from behind enemy lines, braved fire while tending to soldiers and was wounded by a grenade and hit by snipers. Doss was the first conscientious objector awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor.”

Mel Gibson is definitely back from the hole he once dug for himself. The movie Hacksaw Ridge looks amazing, can’t wait to see the whole thing!

We’ve got our hands on the tongue-in-cheek Comic Con trailer of The Lego Batman Movie, the upcoming superhero Lego CG animated movie directed by Chris McKay that revolves around the Dark Knight:

THE LEGO BATMAN

From the team that assembled The Lego Movie

Plot synopsis:
“In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble — LEGO Batman — stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up.”

Are you ready to follow Batman and maybe learn a few life lessons along the way? First lesson: life doesn’t give you seat belts!

A brand new poster has also been unveiled:

It turns out the main villain in Spider-Man Homecoming is Vulture! Take a look to this new concept art picture, it was revealed at the Comic Con:

(Click on the picture to enlarge.)

Plot synopsis:
“Following the events of Captain America: Civil War, Peter Parker (Tom Holland) tries to balance his life as a high school student while also being the hero Spider-Man.”

I can understand why they went for a rather minor villain. This new Spider-Man is still young, and the overall film is focusing on his life as a young hero. If he had to fight against a real big baddie there’d be no time to dwell on his life as Peter Parker.

The film is directed by Jon Watts and the cast includes Tom Holland, Michael Keaton, Zendaya, Donald Glover, Jacob Batalon, Laura Harrier, Tony Revolori, Tyne Daly, Bokeem Woodbine, with Marisa Tomei, and Robert Downey Jr.

Here’s a video of the Comic Con panel of Spider-Man Homecoming:
