‘Castle Rock’ Unveils a Chilling New Official Trailer

Hulu delves into the twisted and terrifying world of Stephen King with the new horror series, Castle Rock. A lengthy official trailer’s just arrived which shows off new scenes with Bill Skarsgard’s mysterious character as well as more with André Holland as a lawyer who returns to his home town and becomes involved with Skarsgard’s unnamed character who was found in a hole in Shawshank Prison.

“I’d always thought the devil was just a metaphor. God help me, I did.”

In addition to Bill Skarsgard (It) and André Holland (Moonlight), the cast of season one includes Melanie Lynskey (I Don’t Feel at Home in This World Anymore), Sissy Spacek (the original Carrie), Jane Levy (Don’t Breathe), and Scott Glenn (The Leftovers, The Silence of the Lambs). The series was developed for television by Sam Shaw and Dustin Thomason. Shaw and Thomason serve as executive producers along with J.J. Abrams, Stephen King, Mark Lafferty, Ben Stephenson, and Liz Glotzer.

Hulu’s Castle Rock comes from Bad Robot Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television. Hulu will debut the horror series on July 25, 2018.

The Plot: A psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse, Castle Rock combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved works, weaving an epic saga of darkness and light, played out on a few square miles of Maine woodland. The fictional Maine town of Castle Rock has figured prominently in King’s literary career: Cujo, The Dark Half, It, and Needful Things, as well as novella The Body, and numerous short stories such as Rita Hayworth and The Shawshank Redemption are either set there or contain references to Castle Rock.

Castle Rock is an original suspense/thriller — a first-of-its-kind reimagining that explores the themes and worlds uniting the entire King canon, while brushing up against some of his most iconic and beloved stories.

“Winnie the Pooh comes back to him at a difficult time in his life,” explains McGregor who plays the title role. “He sort of speaks a lot of truth – Pooh.”

“These are the characters that my generation, my parents’ generation, and now this generation are growing up with,” says Hayley Atwell. She adds, “This is a charming story of a man finding his home again and finding that inner child.”

Marc Forster directed from a screenplay by Alex Ross Perry and Allison Schroeder, based on the characters created by A.A. Milne and E.H. Shepard. Brigham Taylor and Kristin Burr produced, and Renée Wolfe and Jeremy Johns served as executive producers.

The Plot: In Disney’s heartwarming live action adventure, the young boy who shared countless adventures with his stuffed animal friends in the Hundred Acre Wood has grown up and lost sight of what’s important in life. Now it is up to his childhood friends to venture into our world and help Christopher Robin rediscover the joys of family life, the value of friendship and to appreciate the simple pleasure in life once again.

‘Insatiable’ Premiere Date Announcement Arrives Along with First Photos

In the teaser video announcing the series premiere date of Netflix’s Insatiable, Debby Ryan declares, “I’ve heard stories of girls who grew up happy and well adjusted. This is not that story.” She then proceeds to take a mallet to a grocery store’s shelves filled with incredibly colorful products.

Netflix has set an August 10, 2018 global premiere date for the series which is described as a “dark, twisted revenge comedy.” Season one of the “coming of rage story” will consist of 12 one-hour episodes.

In addition to Debby Ryan (“Patty”), the cast includes Dallas Roberts (“Bob Armstrong”), Alyssa Milano (“Coralee Armstrong”), Christopher Gorham (“Bob Barnard”), Erinn Westbrook (“Magnolia Barnard”), Michael Provost (“Brick Armstrong”), Kimmy Shields (“Nonnie”), Irene Choi (“Dixie Sinclair”), and Sarah Colonna (“Angie”).


Insatiable was created by Lauren Gussis. Gussis executive produces along with Ryan Seacrest, Nina Wass (Shades of Blue), Andrea Shay, Todd Hoffman, Dennis Kim, and Andy Fleming.

The Insatiable Plot: For years, Patty (Debby Ryan) has been bullied, ignored, and underestimated by those around her because of her weight. But now that she finds herself suddenly thin, Patty is out for payback against anyone who has ever made her feel bad about herself.

Bob Armstrong (Dallas Roberts), a disgraced attorney whose true passion is coaching beauty pageant contestants, is the only one who sees Patty’s potential, and takes her under his wing — first as a legal client, and then as a pageant contestant whom he coaches toward becoming the top pageant queen in the country. But Bob and his wife Coralee (Alyssa Milano) have no idea how deep Patty’s rage goes, or how far she will go to exact revenge on anyone who has ever wronged her. Bullies beware: payback’s a bitch, revenge is sweet, and if you cross Patty, you’ll be her next treat.

‘Life Itself’ Debuts a New Trailer with Oscar Isaac, Olivia Wilde and Antonio Banderas

Amazon Studios has released the official trailer and poster for the romantic drama, Life Itself. In the trailer, Oscar Isaac’s character declares his lifelong love while Olivia Wilde’s character wonders about the illusions of heroes and villains.

“Life itself tricks us. It misleads us. It paints one man a hero when he may well be a villain. Hero or villain – villain or hero. Maybe the heroes and villains of our stories are actually just day players in a much bigger story,” says Wilde.

Dan Fogelman wrote and directed Life Itself, with Marty Bowen, Wyck Godfrey and Aaron Ryder producing. The cast includes Oscar Isaac (Star Wars: The Last Jedi), Olivia Wilde (Doll & Em), Mandy Patinkin (Homeland, Wonder), Olivia Cooke (Bates Motel), Laia Costa (Piercing), Annette Bening (Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool), Antonio Banderas (The 33), Sergio Peris-Mencheta (Snowfall, The Evil That Men Do), and Alex Monner (Vivir sin permiso).

Fogelman’s behind the scenes team includes director of photography Brett Pawlak, editor Julie Monroe, costume designer Melissa Toth, and production designer Gerald Sullivan, with music by Federico Jusid.

Amazon Studios is releasing the film in theaters on September 21, 2018. Life Itself is rated R for language including sexual references, some violent images and brief drug use.

The Plot: As a young New York couple goes from college romance to marriage and the birth of their first child, the unexpected twists of their journey create reverberations that echo over continents and through lifetimes in Life Itself. Director and writer Dan Fogelman (This Is Us, Crazy, Stupid, Love) examines the perils and rewards of everyday life in a multigenerational saga.

Set in New York City and Carmona, Spain, Life Itself celebrates the human condition and all of its complications with humor, poignancy and love.

In addition to Ron Howard, the series will be executive produced by Oscar winner Brian Grazer, Imagine Television Group Chairman Francie Calfo (Empire, Genius), yes Studios’ Danna Stern, and United Studios of Israel’s Efrat Shmaya Dror. The creator of the original Israeli series, Zion Rubin, is also on on board in an executive producer capacity.

Ron Howard’s recently been keeping busy promoting Solo: A Star Wars Story starring Alden Ehrenreich as a young Han Solo. The Han Solo film, one of the worst performing movies of the Star Wars franchise, currently sits at 71% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes.
