When you hear that Nicholas Sparks and M. Night Shyamalan are working on a project together, it’s safe to assume there will be both ghosts and romance. And that’s exactly what the first trailer for Remain promises. The movie isn’t out until next year, but a novel from Sparks is already available.
The new teaser trailer for Luca Guidagnino’s Artificial makes it seem like Andrew Garfield is about to deliver a wild performance that highlights just how unsettling Sam Altman can be. The film releases on Christmas day.

The latest Godzilla Minus Zero trailer doesn’t reveal much more about the film, but it does highlight just how much more hell the kaiju is going to give humanity when the film hits theaters on November 6th.

That’s the official title of the upcoming live-action Zelda film, Shigeru Miyamoto said in Tuesday’s Zelda anniversary Direct. He also teased that the Triforce will play some kind of role in the film (shocker). No trailer shown yet, though.

Frequent Martin Scorsese collaborator and the screenwriter behind Raging Bull, Taxi Driver, and The Last Temptation of Christ, Paul Schrader, is turning to AI to make the crime noir Three Guns At Dawn. He’s been trying to make the movie about three criminal brothers for a long time, but nobody wanted to star in it. When asked why, he gave The Playlist a… let’s say, revealing answer.
“We sent it out to actors, and no Black actors wanted to play in a movie where there are no good Black people,” he said. “And it sort of died. But then AI came along, and I didn’t need Black actors.”

Sony’s new trailer for The Social Reckoning features a few brief snippets of Strong’s performance. The voice is pretty uncanny. The film debuts in theaters on October 9th.
He told the LA Times it would see Michael Fassbender’s David creating a “brave new world for himself.” As one of the sickos that liked those movies, I’m pumped, but not holding my breath. There’s a sequel to Romulus and a second season of Earth on the way too, plus a new Alien: Isolation game.

24 years after the first Ali G movie, Sacha Baron Cohen has revived the character again for his new film Ali G: Who Iz I?, which is coming to theaters on October 23rd.

There seems to be some egregious (but unconfirmed) AI slop in art book Spider-Man: Brand New Day - The Art of the Movie, judging by images shared by The Artbook Collector.

It’s only the briefest of glimpses that we get of the upcoming Pixar feature, set for release in March of 2028. But we know it centers on a lunch shop on Oʻahu that serves lost spirits and Kyle, who manages to stumble his way into a supernatural adventure.
The good news: The beloved children’s series is coming to the big screen!
The bad news: The charming 2D animation has been replaced with some bland 3D computer animation.
