"A movie like this will never be made again!" Toho in Japan has unveiled a brand new trailer for the 4K re-release of a cult classic that few have seen titled The Man Who Stole the Sun. Originally released in 1979 in Japan, this film has been making a big comeback recently as a subversive, bonkers, Japanese New Wave favorite about a guy who builds an atomic bomb in his apartment and declares war on the state. Yes for real! A high school science teacher is the butt of all his students' jokes, until their bus is hijacked on a school trip. But something more sinister lurks beneath the surface: he's building an atomic bomb in his apartment. On October 6th, 1979, the legendary The Man Who Stole the Sun—a film that left an indelible mark on Japanese cinematic history—premiered. The film returns to Reiwa-era screens in a 4K digital remaster this October exactly 47 years later. Starring Kenji Sawada as Makoto Kido & Bunta Sugawara as the police inspector trying to stop him, along with Kimiko Ikegami, Kazuo Kitamura, Shigeru Kamiyama, Kei Sato, Yunosuke Ito, Morio Kazama, Toshiyuki Nishida, and Yutaka Mizutani. "This legendary masterpiece, born of extraordinary passion and madness, is reborn again in 2026." I cannot wait to see this! Keep hearing crazy things about it. // Continue Reading ›

"To rescue his children, an adult Peter Pan must return to Neverland and battle an old enemy... in order to rediscover the child in himself." Let me just say it - this is one of my all-time favorites. I love it. I grew up with it. Critics are wrong, Hook is a amazing! Sony Pictures is preparing to release the new 4K Steelbook Collector's Edition of the 1991 movie (order it here), and included in here is a brand-new documentary about the making of this iconic Spielberg classic. "Relive the magic of Robin Williams as Peter Pan with an all-new hour-long documentary featuring never-before-seen footage from the making of Steven Spielberg's Hook." Apparently they had a documentary crew filming the filming of the movie back in 1990, but the doc about it was never released in full? Now they've finished it and it's included as a special feature in the 4K Steelbook. Hook stars Dustin Hoffman as Captain Hook, Robin Williams as Peter Pan, Julia Roberts as Tinkerbell, Bob Hoskins as Smee, Maggie Smith as Wendy, and Charlie Korsmo as Jack.

"Are healthy people truly alive?" Neon has revealed the first official trailer for the wonderful new film titled All of a Sudden, made by master filmmaker Ryusuke Hamaguchi. After making Drive My Car and Evil Does Not Exist, this is next film and it's set in Paris and shot in the French language (along with Japanese of course). It premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and I declared it a masterpiece in my review. It's utterly breathtaking and sublime in every possible way. Director of a care facility for the elderly, Marie-Lou (Efira) strives to introduce an innovative care philosophy based on listening & respecting residents' dignity, despite resistance from part of her staff. Her encounter with Mari (Okamoto), a Japanese theater director battling cancer, will profoundly reshape her path. By forming a deep, supportive friendship, the two women join forces in a shared struggle to "make the impossible possible." Starring Virginie Efira, Tao Okamoto, Kyōzō Nagatsuka, Teruyo Kurosaki. With a score by Canadian-French composer Samuel Andreyev. This is still my #1 film of 2026 so far - I absolutely adore it. It's so tender and touching and uplifting and hopeful. I could listen to Efira & Okamoto's conversations for hours and hours. I never want to leave them after this! They're the best. This is one of my top must see films of 2026 when it opens in theaters this fall. // Continue Reading ›

"What is the image of the future that you see?" "We don't teach it. It teaches itself..." Neon has revealed the first teaser trailer for the film Artificial, directed by master Italian filmmaker Luca Guadagnino as his latest after Challengers, Queer, & After the Hunt. Artificial is basically The Social Network but for OpenAI (creators of ChatGPT which is the worst btw) and its founder/CEO Sam Altman. It's premiering at the 2026 New York Film Festival then playing at London next before hitting theaters in December at the end of this year. Starring Andrew Garfield as Altman, Anora's Yura Borisov as Ilya Sutskever, Monica Barbaro as Mira Murati, Ike Barinholtz as Elon Musk, Cooper Hoffman, Jason Schwartzman, plus Mark Rylance as Geoffrey Hinton. NYFF adds: "Anchored by brilliant lead performances, Guadagnino's thrilling, funny, and very human drama propels audiences through the two decades of machine learning research that have brought us to our current AI crisis point." Also stating that "Guadagnino's film moves like a machine in unstoppable, constant motion—a history being written as we're watching it." I am so in! A quick glimpse at just a bit of footage, but more than enough to send this right to the top of my most anticipated list for 2026. // Continue Reading ›

"I want the big story, and then I want the bigger story." "I promised these sources they were going to be safe." Sony Pictures has revealed the official full trailer for The Social Reckoning, the highly anticipated follow-up to David Fincher's 2010 film The Social Network about Facebook. The big reveal trailer following the teaser a few months ago featuring way more footage. Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin returns steering the ship, also directing in addition to writing. "The verdict is in. The reckoning is coming." This is essentially the sequel to The Social Network, arriving in theaters this October. "Every revolution begins with a reckoning." This sequel follows the story of Frances Haugen, a young Facebook engineer, who enlists the help of Jeff Horwitz, a Wall Street Journal reporter, to blow the whistle on the social network's most guarded secrets - soon to be revealed. Starring Mikey Madison, Jeremy Allen White, Wunmi Mosaku, Betty Gilpin, Billy Magnussen, with Bill Burr, and Jeremy Strong as the slimy Mark Zuckerberg trying to push back against all the harm that his website has caused. A much better trailer than before, but still a tad hesitant about going all in on it. Though it does look like it's going to hit back hard against Zuckerberg. Take a look. // Continue Reading ›

"You have perverted the innocents." Warner Bros Clockwork has revealed the incredible full official trailer for Ken Russell's The Devils restored & uncut & ready to rock the screen again. This is Clockwork's first official release, a restoration of a controversial, one-of-a-kind, 1970s masterpiece that has been hidden from view for decades. It showed at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and plays at Stiges & TIFF, too. Ken Russell's The Devils is the definitive vision based on the edit he privately constructed in 2004. In the film set in 17th-century France, Father Grandier's protection of the city of Loudun from the corrupt Cardinal Richelieu is ruined by a sexually repressed nun's accusation of witchcraft. Vanessa Redgrave stars as Sister Jeanne, with Oliver Reed as Father Grandier and Gemma Jones as Madeleine. The Picture & Sound restoration was performed by Warner Bros. Post Production Creative Services, Water Tower Color, and Warner Bros. Sound based on the original negatives. This is a major, monumental re-release that any and every cinephile should be interested in when it hits theaters later this year. Clockwork is even proud to announce that it has received the rare NC-17 rating from the MPA but will still play in theaters (briefly) this fall. What a radical trailer! Just as wild and crazy and unforgettable as the film itself. Do not miss it when you have the chance. // Continue Reading ›
