Women on the Verge
April 20, 2016
The first trailer from Universal Pictures has dropped for the film adaptation of Paula Hawkins’ novel The Girl on the Train. Directed by Tate Taylor (The Help, Get on Up) and re-located to New York City (the novel was set in London), the film stars Emily Blunt as alcoholic Rachel Watson whose intrigue into the lives of others unravels her messy life. The film releases on October 7th and the trailer gets the full Gone Girl wash complete with a Kanye West song. The novel is not up to Gillian Flynn’s book, but perhaps it might make a good film. We shall see!

Add this one to your reading lists for the summer. Here is the first trailer for the Tim Burton directed adaptation of Ransom Rigg’s 2001 novel, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. It is set to release in the US on September 30th. Looks like French actress Eva Green might have finally found a role where her pronunciation of English actually fits!

Ghostbuster Gals
March 8, 2016
One of the most talked about and anticipated films of the year, the new remake of Ghostbusters has landed. Remade with a female team the film has been directed by Paul Feig who directed Bridesmaids and, of course, created the gem tv series Freaks and Geeks. Starring Kristen Wiig, Melissa McCarthy, Leslie Jones, and my favorite SNL gal Kate McKinnon the trailer looks fun and I prefer to wait to judge it’s feminist quota until I have seen the whole thing.

The Bad Guys Are Back in Town…
January 29, 2016
Unless you have been living under a rock or maybe just distracted with Star Wars, the newest set of villains are ganging up together in this August’s Suicide Squad. Much has already been analyzed about Jared Leto’s take on the Joker and the legacy of Heath Ledger from The Dark Knight. Regardless of that though this longer trailer shows more fun and violence for the team of miscreants recruited to do some “good.” Directed by David Ayer whose last film was the somber warm film Fury, this is sure to be a rocket of a time and we’ll see if it can match the brilliantly snarky Guardians of the Galaxy.

A Screen Giant

Here it comes. The big screen Disney adaptation of Roald Dahl’s The BFG. Directed by Steven Spielberg with a John Williams score, the film takes on the mighty children’s book that is tender to many a reader out there. Mark Rylance (currently in Bridge of Spies out now) steps into the giant’s shoes. The first teaser for the summer 2016 release is below.
