The Fantastic Four: First Steps      HD720p 17MB
First teaser for another superhero franchise reboot, to be in theatres in July. Marvel's First Family (Pedro Pascal, Vanessa Kirby, Joseph Quinn, Ebon Moss-Bachrach) face their most daunting challenge yet. Forced to balance their roles as heroes with the strength of their family bond, they must defend Earth from a ravenous space god called Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner). Also part of the cast are John Malkovich, Paul Walter Hauser, Natasha Lyonne and Sarah Niles. Directed by Matt Shakman ("WandaVision", "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia").
You could probably also sell it as a live-action version of The Incredibles.

Friendship     HD720p 31MB
Dark comedy about two new pals. When an errant delivery pulls suburban dad (Tim Robinson) into the orbit of his mysterious and charismatic new neighbour (Paul Rudd), a sweet bromance seems to blossom over an innocent evening of urban exploration, punk rock, and a mutual appreciation for paleolithic antiquities. But what should have been the start of a beautiful friendship is soon waylaid as his obsessive personality begins to alienate his new pal, subsequently inducing a spiral that threatens to upend his entire life. Kate Mara is also part of the cast.

Jurassic World: Rebirth     HD720p 36MB
Another franchise addition, set five years after the events of Jurassic World Dominion, when the planet’s ecology has proven largely inhospitable to dinosaurs. Those remaining exist in isolated equatorial environments with climates resembling the one in which they once thrived. The three most colossal creatures within that tropical biosphere hold the key to a drug that will bring miraculous life-saving benefits to humankind. Cast members include Scarlett Johansson, Mahershala Ali, Jonathan Bailey, Rupert Friend and Ed Skrein. Directed by Gareth Edwards (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Godzilla, Monsters).

Smurfs     HD720p 38MB
First trailer for this live-action/animation hybrid musical directed by Chris Miller (Puss in Boots, Shrek the Third). When Papa Smurf (John Goodman) is mysteriously taken by evil wizards, Razamel and Gargamel, Smurfette (Rihanna) leads the Smurfs on a mission into the real world to save him. With the help of new friends, the Smurfs must discover what defines their destiny to save the universe. Also part of the (voice) cast are James Corden, Nick Offerman, JP Karliak, Daniel Levy, Amy Sedaris, Natasha Lyonne, Sandra Oh, Octavia Spencer, Nick Kroll, Hannah Waddingham, Alex Winter, Maya Erskine, Billie Lourd and Kurt Russell.

Thunderbolts*     HD720p 24MB
If you would like to see more footage for free, a third trailer for another film set in the MCU. After finding themselves ensnared in a death trap, an unconventional team of antiheroes must embark on a dangerous mission that will force them to confront the darkest corners of their pasts. Returning actors and characters from previous movies and TV series include Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Sebastian Stan as Bucky Barnes, David Harbour as Red Guardian, Wyatt Russell as John Walker, Olga Kurylenko as Taskmaster, Hannah John-Kamen as Ghost, Rachel Weisz as Melina and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Valentina Allegra de Fontaine. Directed by Jake Schreier (Robot & Frank).

Thunderbolts is currently the film playing in English near me (next week there will be none). I had a look at the trailer and it turned me off as it looked like it was going to be like some bleak piled on top of bleak DC movie, but then I read two positive reviews so I went to see it on Monday (May 5). It was not bleak. The humor was good and so was the plot. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was great as the kickass slippery as hell, scruple-less villain. The whole cast was great although the Red Guardian started to grate a bit in his role as doofus.

TLDR: worth seeing.

Thanks for the feedback. Good to know that there's some humour. That makes those big budget comic book adaptations a lot more enjoyable.

You're welcome and thanks for the trailers. ^_^ I guess you didn't see a trailer for the French live action Bambi go by last year. I saw the film and it was pretty but had some notable flaws. As for the Marvel, yes, the humour is key. Gives me hope for the Fantastic 4 movie... Despite it being still Disney owned, this movie wasn't too populated with waifs, unlike Guardians of the Galaxy 3 and Star Wars VIII.

I have to admit that I didn't recall that one. But I think I found it now.

Looking at your blog, you have a special interest in (photographing) plants and animals, nature in general?

[frith]

Yes, that's the one. Note that they used European red deer to play Bambi and his extended family in the film and that on the poster, the far shot of a fawn in the woods shows an American whitetail deer. In the 1928 book, Bambi is a European roe deer, not a red deer. Disney used whitetail deer as models.

Yes, I usually take pictures of plants, landscapes and animals, not people.
