A Powerful Cast, Including Queen Latifah And Jill Scott, Tells The Story Of The Water Crisis In “Flint” (Trailer)
Coming to Lifetime Television in a few days. Cannot believe this went on… is likely still going on. And it is NOT fake news. Hell, it is hard to imagine that this is real life sometimes. But this trailer is teasing a movie that tells the story as it should; with passion and high emotion. People HAVE to CARE when this happens; made to care, and care enough to DO SOMETHING!
“Flint” is the gripping retelling of a crisis that shook a nation and shines a light on the whistleblowers who exposed the biggest environmental scandal of our generation. LeeAnne Walters (Betsy Brandt, “Breaking Bad”), Melissa Mays (Marin Ireland, “Sneaky Pete”) and Nayyirah Shariff (Jill Scott, “Steel Magnolias”) join forces after discovering that the drinking water in Flint, Michigan is contaminated, resulting in a slew of devastating medical problems for their families. When their claims go unheeded, they band together to expose the wrongdoings committed by their reckless, bean-counting government officials whose carelessness caused irrevocable harm to the lives of its residents. Golden Globe®-winner, Academy Award® and Grammy®-nominee Queen Latifah (“Star”) also stars and executive produces. World Premiere October 28 at 8/7c on Lifetime.

This New Film With John Travolta Playing John Gotti Looks Good… Scary Good (Trailer)
This life of ours is a wonderful life… if you can get away with it.
That right there. Is that some gangster sh!t to say or WHAT??! Travolta’s play gangster before, but it seemed like he was ‘playing.’ This “Gotti” film is NOT for play-play. Watch the trailer.
GOTTI follows infamous crime boss John Gotti’s (John Travolta) rise to become the “Teflon Don†of the Gambino Crime Family in New York City. Spanning three decades and recounted by his son John Jr. (Spencer Lofranco), GOTTI examines Gotti’s tumultuous life as he and his wife (Kelly Preston) attempt to hold the family together amongst tragedy and multiple prison sentences.

John Boyega Stars In “Pacific Rim: Uprising” (See The Latest Teaser) [Trailer]
Oh… so John Boyega is playing Idris Elba’s character’s son. Hmm. Could be a rare case of a sequel being even doper than a dope original. Plus Kaiju Godzilla-level mad monster mash movie actions and more huge robo-tech squabbles! Shiiiid, let’s GO!
Matt Damon Mixes It Up, A Lot, In “Suburbicon” (Trailer)
Not all the way sure WTF this movie is gonna be (a “crime comedy” though?). But I know that Matt Damon is a solid movie bet (e.g. he does not make trash) and this trailer has me hooked! Plus the title: “Suburbicon.”
Yooooo! PLUS… mad people get f*cked the f*ck up in this flick quick (looking at the trailer)! YUSSSH!!! Hitting folks dead in the FACE, hitting screens October 27th!
George Clooney directs (he doesn’t make trash either, he and Damon have that “Oceans Eleven” franchise connection, too).

Christopher Meloni Stars In SyFy’s Original “Happy!” Coming To Starting December 6th (Trailer)
Well, would you look at this… Elliot Christopher Meloni Stabler from “Law & Order: SVU” has got himself another gig. Looks like a cross between “Roger Rabit” and “Sin City” – like those two flicks had a fling and abandoned the baby. And it grew up with no home training, unhinged and macabre af! Probably helps the aura of this movie; the fact that Meloni also starred in the very graphic “Sin City” sequel.
But enough of the past. This trailer is for “Happy!” (based on New York Times best-selling author Grant Morrison and Darick Robertson’s graphic novel of the same name). The series follows Nick Sax (played by Meloni) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hitman – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a tiny, relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Patton Oswalt).

Eljay Williams Presents The Soundtrack For His “Pathways” Movie (Mixtape)
Dope movies ought to have dope sounds associated with them, right? Yes. Like this “Pathways” flick. Good movie. Confirmed because the squad saw and approved (you should if you have not already). Now, for the tunes. Listennnn!
All music on this soundtrack either appeared in the film Pathways (Sean’s Lament), has been used to promote the film or has been inspired by the film. These are some of my favorite songs from some of the dope artists I know and were part of my backdrop while writing the film. These artists’ words and sound inspired me and I am grateful that they lent their talents to my dream. Thank you all.

Peep the trailer after the jump.
Best. “Black Panther” Teaser. Ever!! (Trailer)
Okay, so Wakanda is not real. But styling its geography, geopolitics, and people makes the “Black Panther” movie real enough to reward watchers for agreeing to suspend disbelief. In other words, we don’t feel stupid for believing in vibranium-fueled fights… in ancient hidden cities laden with high-tech… spaceship-looking flying back-and-forth… bustling cityscapes where many random vehicles, streets and buildings get wrecked…
If the storytelling is good, we will be here for it all. And from what this trailer is showing us, the storytelling is gonna be good.
Action-packed but so ‘real’ and so good! So really good it’s surreal!
Enjoy the trailer thoroughly.
Witness The Horror Of Being ‘Different’ As FOX Puts “The New Mutants” Out Into The X-Men Universe (Trailer)
Wow. Just looking at the comments on this YouTube trailer. Looks like the folks out there are really here for this horror-core, trippy approach to “The New Mutants” movie. Well, bring ’em out, bring ’em out, FOX! Let’s see if you got something to scream about when this hits theaters next April. Prediction: If this goes over well, the X-Men Universe will never be the same.
Check Out This Hilarious Teaser For “White Famous” Starring Jay Pharoah (Trailer)
It’s a fair question, and an old question: Why do WE have to ‘cross over’ to White audiences to be successful? I know it’s been the question asked of entertainers since “The Five Heartbeats” movie. And I am willing to bet a fair amount that Jay Pharoah sneaks in an imitation of Chris Rock in this debut season of his new Showtime series… Rock had me cracking the f*** up when he told Kevin Hart he was just ‘Black Famous’ on “Real House Husbands Of Hollywood” (you can’t CLOSE, Kevin, hahaaa)!
SHOWTIME® presents WHITE FAMOUS, the outrageous new Original Comedy Series starring Jay Pharoah. Comedian Floyd Mooney’s career is about to blow up, but he’s not so sure he’s ready for all that. He doesn’t have time for big egos, crazy studio execs and the wild side of fame. Hollywood is full of phonies but Floyd wants to stay true to himself. Can he make it without losing his soul? Don’t miss WHITE FAMOUS, the insanely funny new comedy from Tom Kapinos, executive producer of Californication, and Academy Award® winner Jamie Foxx, airing Sunday, October 15th 10PM ET/PT only on SHOWTIME®.

Method Man To Host ‘Drop The Mic’ On TBS (Trailer)
TBS got Snoop for a show (you saw that posted here). How about some love for Method Man though? Bring it back East a bit.
Yep. TBS did that. And for the trailer, toss in the DoggFather… just because.

Watch The Teaser For “Star Wars: The Last Jedi” (Trailer)
The Force is strong with Rey. We saw that in Star Wars: The Force Awakens. That’s why she had to go see Luke Skywalker at the end.
Oops. Hope that was not a spoiler for you… If so, hurry up and catch-up. We have a whole ‘nother Star Wars coming in December! Watch the trailer for “The Last Jedi” (the last chapter for the Jedi??)
This teaser has gotta have viewers thinking, “This is gonna be crazy. Good and crazy!” Watch and figure out your own feelings about it though (above).
Snoop Dogg To Host The Reboot Of The Classic Game Show, “The Jokers Wild” (Trailer)
Okay, I’m thinking TBS might really be onto something. Snoop Dogg on TV as a game show host; not a cook or coach. And this reboot of “The Jokers Wild”… Wow! I would never have seen that coming (but now we know it’s coming, October 24th).
I remember the original game show hosted by Wink Martindale. Trust that this version will be waaay more ‘G’ (pimpin’)!

— Roman J Israel, Esq (@RomanJIsraelEsq) October 5, 2017
Yeah. Denzel’s going for another gold statue on this on everything! And you know how sometimes an extended trailer just means Hollywood could not figure out how to cut the footage down to a 45-second teaser? How the extra minute or so was not necessary? Well, you will need to watch every bit of this trailer. It’s a story in and of itself. Teasing an EPIC movie experience (coming this November), featuring a very complex and tortured character that you ‘think’ you know… but you don’t. Watch. Now.
Watch The USA Network’s Official Teaser For “Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G.” (Trailer)
Starring Josh Duhamel, Bokeem Woodbine and Jimmi Simpson, and no longer a ‘long-awaited’ or ‘maybe, strong maybe’… They kept snatching the clips down like someone was ‘hedging’ at the network. But okay. This Biggie-Tupac crime drama series is definitely coming to USA.
Watch the official trailer for Unsolved: The Murders of Tupac & The Notorious B.I.G., a new series coming to USA Network from a director of The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

Watch The Final Teaser For “Geostorm” (Trailer)
Sending prayers to Puerto Rico, Florida, Texas, and all in the wake of the hurricanes and tropical storms. Much has happened in the way of natural phenomena attacking humanity where it lives since the first “Geostorm” trailer we posted. Of course, this epic enviro-thriller will take things extremely over the top, but it does kind of trigger feelings regarding our own dealings with nature’s wrath.
Okay, on with the trailer. One last look (trailer) before it hits big silver screens.

Action/Fantasy/Thriller: Natalie Portman Stars In “Annihilation” (Teaser Trailer)
The teaser doesn’t give much away about the story, but it might give you a case of the heebies and the jeebies (that ‘music’ though)! A little digging… so Natalie Portman’s character’s husband got into a spot of trouble in a spot that’s like a dark Narnia meets the Savage Land meets the Bermuda Triangle. Guess the rest of the story will come to us on or before 1st quarter 2018.
Based on Jeff VanderMeer’s best-selling Southern Reach Trilogy, “Annihilation” stars Natalie Portman, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Gina Rodriguez, Tessa Thompson, Tuva Novotny and Oscar Isaac. It was written and directed by Alex Garland (“Ex Machina,” “28 Days Later”).

Watch The Hatchfund Campaign Video For “Yasuke: Birth Of A Samurai” (Trailer)
Dude. DUDE! It’s legend meets line-and-ink in this animated Black Samurai joint in development. Gotta make this happen! If Tom Cruise can be “The Last Samurai,” can we please get the first Black Samurai project greenlit & funded… please?
(Watch above and see how YOU can help, too.)
Good feeling about this. Lionsgate Films AND the dude that brought the Kitana blade-swinging, head-decapitating ‘Duncan MacLeod Of The Clan MacLeod’ to life (Gregory Widen) are already attached. Dope!
“Homeboy” Shows Us That When One Door Opens… (Trailer)
The concept alone… DOPE! A different look at being in the trap… ensnared by a mental health challenge. Kudos to Bryan Christian for finding his way out of that trap with the help of loving fam and friends, and for this “Homeboy” film. Check out the trailer and the pitch at the end.
