‘Dumbo’ Teaser Trailer: The Little Elephant Soars in ‘Dumbo’s First Trailer

By
Rebecca Murray
-

Disney’s just released a gorgeous teaser trailer for Dumbo, the live-action reimagining of the classic animated film. The teaser trailer, which is a little over a minute long, does a terrific job of showing how the tiny elephant will be brought to life on the screen.

The first official Dumbo trailer is backed by an original recording of “Baby Mine” performed by Norwegian singer-songwriter Aurora. The 1941 animated film won an Academy Award in the Best Scoring of a Musical Picture and “Baby Mine” was nominated in the Best Original Song category.

Tim Burton directs the new take on the classic story. Ehren Kruger wrote the screenplay and Justin Springer, Ehren Kruger, Katterli Frauenfelder, and Derek Frey served as producers. Nigel Gostelow executive produced the much-anticipated live-action film.

The cast of the new Dumbo includes Colin Farrell (The Killing of a Sacred Deer), Michael Keaton (Spider-Man: Homecoming), Danny DeVito (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia), Eva Green (Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children), Alan Arkin, Finley Hobbins, and Nico Parker.

Disney will release Dumbo in theaters on March 29, 2019.

The Plot: From Disney and visionary director Tim Burton, the all-new grand live-action adventure Dumbo expands on the beloved classic story where differences are celebrated, family is cherished and dreams take flight. Circus owner Max Medici (Danny DeVito) enlists former star Holt Farrier (Colin Farrell) and his children Milly (Nico Parker) and Joe (Finley Hobbins) to care for a newborn elephant whose oversized ears make him a laughingstock in an already struggling circus. But when they discover that Dumbo can fly, the circus makes an incredible comeback, attracting persuasive entrepreneur V.A. Vandevere (Michael Keaton), who recruits the peculiar pachyderm for his newest, larger-than-life entertainment venture, Dreamland.

Dumbo soars to new heights alongside a charming and spectacular aerial artist, Colette Marchant (Eva Green), until Holt learns that beneath its shiny veneer, Dreamland is full of dark secrets.

The first teaser trailer for The Nun warns: “Before The Conjuring…before Annabelle…the darkest chapter was born.” The teaser trailer arrived along with a new poster and photos from the 2018 horror film that explores the backstory of the creepy nun in The Conjuring 2 painting.

The Conjuring prequel stars Oscar nominee Demian Bichir (A Better Life) as Father Burke, Taissa Farmiga (American Horror Story) as Sister Irene, and Jonas Bloquet (Elle) as local villager Frenchie. (Taissa Farmiga is The Conjuring star Vera Farmiga’s sister.) The cast also includes Charlotte Hope (Game of Thrones) as the abbey’s Sister Victoria, Ingrid Bisu (Toni Erdmann) as Sister Oana, and Bonnie Aarons. Aarons is reprising her role as the title character.

James Wan directed The Conjuring and its sequel, The Conjuring 2. He was involved as a producer on this prequel along with Peter Safran, a producer of every film in The Conjuring‘s franchise. Richard Brener, Walter Hamada, Dave Neustadter, Gary Dauberman, Michael Clear and Todd Williams served as executive producers. Corin Hardy (The Hallow) directs from a screenplay by Gary Dauberman (It) based on a story by Dauberman and Wan.

New Line Cinema’s The Nun will open in theaters on September 7, 2018.

The Plot: When a young nun at a cloistered abbey in Romania takes her own life, a priest with a haunted past and a novitiate on the threshold of her final vows are sent by the Vatican to investigate. Together they uncover the order’s unholy secret. Risking not only their lives but their faith and their very souls, they confront a malevolent force in the form of the same demonic nun that first terrorized audiences in The Conjuring 2, as the abbey becomes a horrific battleground between the living and the damned.

After 22 episodes, it all comes down to the epic season three Supergirl finale. Who will be left standing after the final showdown between Team Supergirl and Reign? Obviously, Supergirl will be sticking around as the series has been renewed for a season four. However, it’s quite possible Sam (Odette Annable) won’t survive the season three finale. Annable’s been a great addition to the cast and I’m hoping the writers won’t kill her off quite yet.

Supergirl season three episode 23 is titled “Battles Lost and Won” and will air on June 18, 2018. Jesse Warn directed from a script by Robert Rovner and Jessica Queller.

The season three cast includes Melissa Benoist as Kara Danvers/Supergirl, Chyler Leigh as Alex Danvers, David Harewood as J’onn J’onzz, Jeremy Jordan as Winn Schott, Mehcad Brooks as James Olsen, Katie McGrath as Lena Luthor, Chris Wood as Mon-El of Daxam, and Odette Annable as Samantha Arias/Reign. The series is executive produced by Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Robert Rovner, and Jessica Queller.

Starz’s critically acclaimed dramatic series Vida has earned a second season order. The network made the announcement following the season one finale which almost tripled the number of viewers who turned in to watch the series premiere.

“Vida has delivered on its promise of attracting a young, new Latinx audience to the STARZ platform, as we had hoped it would, and we are pleased to be able to announce a second season of the series,” stated Starz President and CEO Chris Albrecht. “With these new episodes, Tanya and her team now have the opportunity to take audiences even deeper into the lives and community of the Hernandez sisters, and we look forward to bringing the next chapter of their story to life.”

Vida was created by Tanya Saracho who serves as the season one and season two showrunner. Saracho (How to Get away with Murder, Looking) also executive produces with Stephanie Langhoff (Togetherness) and Big Beach TV’s Robin Schwartz, Peter Saraf and Marc Turtletaub.

According to Starz, the number of Hispanic households watching Vida grew 171% from episode one to episode six (the season finale). Starz also reports Vida has the largest Hispanic audience composition among premium shows this year.

The Season 1 Plot: The premiere season of the series centered around two Mexican-American sisters from the Eastside of Los Angeles who couldn’t be more different or distanced from each other. Circumstances force them to return to their old neighborhood, where they are confronted by the past and surprising truth about their mother’s identity. In the series finale, Lyn finally realizes the impact she is having on Johnny’s life, and Emma learns the true value of the bar, but is it too late for Eddy?

‘GLOW’ Season 2 Trailer: Prepare for a Glorious New Season

What can we expect from season two of GLOW? Based on the new full trailer, we can expect bigger hair, heightened drama, and even more vicious fighting in and out of the ring.

Season two will consist of 10 half-hour episodes.

Netflix will launch the new season of GLOW on June 29, 2018. Season two showrunners Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch executive produce along with Tara Hermann and Jenji Kohan.


The Plot: Season two follows the women of GLOW as they become local celebrities, confronting the good, the bad, and the ugly realities of their newfound fame. As Ruth (Alison Brie) and Debbie (Betty Gilpin) settle into the day-to-day of making a season of TV together, they confront lingering issues at the heart of their friendship. Sam is still Sam, but now he has a teenage daughter living with him and twenty episodes to churn out. The wrestling is harder, the stakes are higher, and the hair is even bigger.

Inspired by the short-lived but beloved show from the 80s, GLOW tells the fictional story of Ruth Wilder, an out-of-work, struggling actress in 1980s Los Angeles who finds one last chance for stardom when she’s thrust into the glitter and spandex world of women’s wrestling. In addition to working with 12 Hollywood misfits, Ruth also has to compete with Debbie Eagan, a former soap actress who left the business to have a baby, only to be sucked back into work when her picture perfect life is not what it seems. And at the wheel is Sam Sylvia (Marc Maron), a washed-up, B-movie director who now must lead this group of women on the journey to wrestling stardom.
