trailer_spotAvatar: The Way of Water HD720p 25MB
First teaser for the sequel, aptly set more than a decade after the events of the first film, the movie tells the story of the Sully family (Jake (Sam Worthington), Neytiri (Zoe Saldana), and their kids), the trouble that follows them, the lengths they go to keep each other safe, the battles they fight to stay alive, and the tragedies they endure. Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang and CCH Pounder also return. New cast additions are Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Michelle Yeoh, Giovanni Ribisi, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement and Oona Chaplin. Again directed by James Cameron (Titanic, True Lies, The Terminator).
I don't care about the movie at all, reading the summary doesn't help, and it looks like the world's most expensive 4k TV commercial. But I'm curious to find out in December how much people are still interested after all this time. I don't know if all of them will really happen, but there are still three additional sequels listed.
Decision to Leave - Heojil Kyolshim HD720p 26MB
Short trailer for the latest movie directed by Park Chan-wook (Oldboy, Stoker, The Handmaiden). It's a crime drama about a detective (Park Hae-il) investigating a man's death in the mountains who meets the dead man's mysterious wife (Tang Wei) in the course of his dogged sleuthing.
Will take part in the official competition starting next week in Cannes. I'm very much looking forward to hear more about it.
Good Luck to You, Leo Grande HD1080p 29MB
Comedic drama about a 55-year-old retired teacher (Emma Thompson), who has never experienced an orgasm, or any satisfying sex at all. Her marriage was stable but stale and her late husband was the only man she had ever slept with. To make things right, Nancy takes the leap and hires the services of Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack), a sex worker – or “sex therapist,” as he puts it – in his twenties. But her plan is complicated by a seemingly insurmountable collection of inner barriers and taboos.
Festival reviews are very favourable.
On the Count of Three HD720p 89MB
Darkly comic drama about two best friends, Val (Jerrod Carmichael) and Kevin (Christopher Abbott), on the last day of their lives. Tiffany Haddish, Henry Winkler and J.B. Smoove are also part of the cast.
Was mostly well received at Sundance, now in limited release and available on streaming platforms in the US.
Crimes of the Future HD720p 26MB
In case it wasn't already clear enough from the previous teasers what kind of movie this will be, a redband trailer for the latest body horror movie directed by David Cronenberg (Eastern Promises, The Fly, Crash). In a not-so-distant future, humankind has learned to alter their biological makeup - some naturally, some surgically. Celebrity performance artist Saul Tenser (Viggo Mortensen) and his partner Caprice (Léa Seydoux), showcase the metamorphosis of his organs in avant-garde performances. Meanwhille, Timlin (Kristen Stewart), an investigator from the National Organ Registry, tracks their movements, revealing a mysterious group whose mission is to use Saul's notoriety to shed light on the next phase of human evolution.
I think there's a bit of a risk that this will turn out to be unintentionally funny. Assuming it is unintentional.

Date: 17 May 2022 11:00 (UTC)Decision to Leave: Looks interesting, although it's hard to tell how much of that is the music that played during the trailer.
Good Luck To You, Leo Grande: I like the look of this a lot, with my only quibble being that the plot might not hold together what looks like an excellent collection of scenes.
On The Count Of Three: Looks interesting, although I'm a bit worried that it's playing into "people with mental health problem cause violent havoc". Might be that it still works really well though.
Crimes of the Future: Agreed on unintentionally funny. I'm just not sure how seriously I can take people chopping bits of themselves off for art.

Date: 22 May 2022 16:03 (UTC)Decision to Leave: Yes, it seems early to say too much about the movie. But I'm excited that there will be a new Park Chan-wook film.
On The Count Of Three: At least they have even in the trailer added a link to a suicide prevention website. So it seems they at least make an effort to take the topic seriously.
