February 13, 2018

FX has just released a one-minute trailer for season two of Atlanta titled Atlanta Robbin’ Season. The new official trailer catches up with season one’s Donald Glover (‘Earn Marks’), Brian Tyree Henry (‘Alfred Miles’), and Lakeith Lee Stanfield (‘Darius’) and offers that during robbin’ season “everybody gotta eat.”

“‘Robbin’ season’ for most people who don’t know is a time in Atlanta before Christmas time and New Years where a bunch of crime happens in that time because people have to get Christmas gifts and people need money, so it’s a time when robberies go up all the time,” explained executive producer Stephen Glover during the 2018 Winter Television Critics Association event.

Donald Glover also offered an explanation at the TCA event as to why the second season has a different title. “What we liked about the first season is that we just looked at it as 30 minutes on television. We weren’t trying to think about it in terms of sitcoms or tropes or what has come before it. We really tried to just devolve what television was. We just had 30 minutes to do whatever we wanted. We just went into this why are we going to do seasons? Everybody does seasons. The theme we wanted to go for was this,” said Donald Glover.

FX’s Atlanta Robbin’ Season will premiere on Thursday, March 1, 2018 at 10pm ET/PT.

The Plot: In Atlanta Robbin’ Season, two cousins work through the Atlanta music scene in order to better their lives and the lives of their families. Earn Marks (Donald Glover) is a young manager trying to get his cousin’s career off the ground. Alfred Miles (Brian Tyree Henry) is a new hot rapper trying to understand the line between real life and street life. Darius (Lakeith Lee Stanfield) is Alfred’s right-hand man and visionary. Van (Zazie Beetz) is Earn’s best friend and the mother of Earn’s daughter.

If you’ve caught any of NBC’s coverage of the Olympics, you’ve more than likely seen a commercial for the network’s new music-driven series, Rise.

Hamilton‘s producer Jeffrey Seller, Flody Suarez, and Michelle Lee are also on board as executive producers.

The cast of Rise includes Josh Radnor, Rosie Perez, Auli’i Cravalho, Damon J. Gillespie, Marley Shelton, Rarmian Newton, Ted Sutherland, Amy Forsyth, Casey W. Johnson, Taylor Richardson, Joseph Tippett, and Shirley Rumierk. Mike Cahill (Another Earth) directed the pilot episode and Rosemary Rodriguez serves as a series director and producer.

The Oath Season 1 Trailer — The stars of Crackle’s new drama, ‘The Oath.’

Crackle’s just debuted a new trailer for the dramatic series The Oath which is set to premiere on Thursday, March 8, 2018. Season one will consist of 10 episodes, with the entire season available on March 8th for those into binge-watching.

The season one cast includes Sean Bean (Game of Thrones), Ryan Kwanten (True Blood), Cory Hardrict (American Sniper), Katrina Law (Arrow), Arlen Escarpeta (The Magicians), and J.J. Soria (Animal Kingdom). The ensemble also includes Michael Malarkey (The Vampire Diaries), Eve Mauro (CSI Miami), Kwame Patterson (The Wire), Linda Purl (Homeland), and Elisabeth Röhm (Law & Order).

The original drama was created by Joe Halpin (Hawaii Five-O, Secrets and Lies), a former Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deputy. Halpin is the writer and showrunner and Curtis 50 Cent Jackson, Todd Hoffman, Dennis Kim, and Anne Clements executive produce. Jeff T. Thomas (Blindspot) and Luis Prieto (Kidnap) directed season one.

The Plot: The Oath takes an unforgiving look at the complicated dynamics in these organizations and documents the lives of those willing to risk it all, to have it all. The gritty, action-packed drama, explores a world of gangs made up of those sworn to protect and defend and sheds light on corrupt and secret societies that are nearly impossible to join – only a select few make the cut-but once inside, members will do what they must to protect each other from enemies on the outside and from within their own ranks.

Tom Hammond, portrayed by Bean, is a hard-charging cop and ruthless leader of the prominent gang made up of those who are meant to enforce the law. After doing a deal with an undercover FBI agent, Hammond finds himself behind bars but after he’s released, his desire to make his way back to the top of the food chain and back in control of the gang he once led puts him head to head with those who used to have his back.

Kwanten plays Steve Hammond, son of Tom Hammond and the leader of a cop gang, The Ravens. A cool, pragmatic, reluctant leader with the mind and instincts of a shrewd tactician, Hammond is a survivor–a natural protector who values taking care of those closest to him, his family, his team.

Magnet Releasing’s first official trailer for Marrowbone is really weird and creepy, and it doesn’t reveal too much while still being an effective tease of the upcoming horror film. Marrowbone marks the directorial debut of screenwriter Sergio G. Sánchez who’s best known for writing The Orphanage (2007) and The Impossible (2012).

Marrowbone‘s cast is led by Charlie Heaton (Stranger Things, Casualty), Anya Taylor-Joy (Split, The Witch: A New England Folktale), George MacKay (Captain Fantastic, 11.22.63), Mia Goth (A Cure for Wellness, Everest), and Matthew Stagg (War & Peace TV mini-series). The cast also includes Kyle Soller (You, Me and the Apocalypse), Tom Fisher (Kingdom), and Myra Kathryn Pearse.

Belén Atienza, Álvaro Augustín, Ghislain Barrois, and The Orphanage and The Impossible director J.A. Bayona served as producers. Sandra Hermida and Paloma Molina executive produced. Sergio G. Sánchez’s behind the scenes team includes cinematographer Xavi Gimenez, editor Elena Ruiz, and production designer Patrick Salvador.

In an interview with The Moveable Fest during the Toronto International Film Festival, writer/director Sanchez explained how the film came about. “It actually started with my producer Belén Atienza. We like to play this game whenever we have some free time that we call the pitching game, and [she] was like, ‘Okay, throw me an idea for something. Don’t even think about it.’ So I gave her the seed of this story, and she was really excited about it. She told me, ‘Why don’t you try and just write three pages a day?’ I had no idea where it was going – I only had the concept – but I started sending her three pages every day, and suddenly by the time I got to page 60 I was so in love with the story, I wrote the last 40 pages in one day.”

Magnet Releasing has set an April 13, 2018 theatrical release date. The horror film will also premiere on April 13th on Amazon Video, On Demand, and iTunes.

The Plot: Four siblings seek refuge in an old home after the death of their mother, only to discover that the house has another, more sinister, inhabitant, in this haunting thriller.

I Kill Giants Poster — Poster for ‘I Kill Giants’ from RLJE Films.

RLJE Films just debuted the official theatrical poster for the 2018 movie I Kill Giants, based on the critically acclaimed Man of Action graphic novel by Joe Kelly and Ken Niimura. Joe Kelly adapted his graphic novel for the screen and first time feature film helmer Anders Walter directed the fantasy thriller which had its world premiere at the 2017 Toronto International Film Festival.

The I Kill Giants cast includes Zoe Saldana (the Star Trek film franchise, the Guardians of the Galaxy films), Imogen Poots (Roadies, That Awkward Moment), Madison Wolfe (Zoo, The Conjuring 2), and Sydney Wade (Wolfblood, Happy Valley). Michael Barnathan, Chris Columbus, Kyle Franke, Kim Magnusson, Adrian Politowski, and Nick Spicer are the film’s producers. Johanna Hogan, Joe Kelly, Michelle Miller, Justin Nappi, and Mark Radcliffe executive produced.

RLJE Films is targeting a March 23, 2018 theatrical release along with a simultaneous release On Demand and Digital HD. The thriller has a running time of 106 minutes and is not yet rated.

Not many reviews appeared online following the film’s debut at the Toronto Film Festival, however the three critics registered on Rotten Tomatoes all awarded it positive reviews. The Hollywood Reporter’s John DeFore calls it “a sensitive and attractive, if not wholly convincing, pairing of fantasy with real-life turmoil,” and Screen International’s Allan Hunter says I Kill Giants is “a sweetly imaginative, tenderly played coming of age drama.”

The Plot: I Kill Giants tells the story of Barbara Thorsen (Madison Wolfe), a teenage girl who chooses to escape the realities of school and a drab family life by retreating into her magical world of Titans and Giants. With the help of her new friend Sophia (Sydney Wade) and her school therapist (Zoe Saldana), she will learn to battle her Giants and face her fears – tackling the mean bullies at school, her sister (Imogen Poots) and her difficult work situation, and eventually her fear of death.

The latest trailer for Paramount Pictures’ horror thriller A Quiet Place provides the first look at life outside the family at the heart of the story’s home. It also teases that something major occurred worldwide and that event led to the current situation in which people are attacked if they make any noise.

The film’s new trailer warns “those who have survived live by one rule: never make a sound.” The trailer also shows the children having a difficult time staying quiet, with the mother (played by Emily Blunt) asking, “Who are we if we can’t protect them? We have to protect them.”

A Quiet Place was directed by John Krasinski, best known for playing Jim on the long-running half-hour comedy series, The Office. Krasinski’s directing credits include three episodes of The Office as well as the feature films Brief Interviews with Hideous Men (2009) and The Hollars (2016). In addition to directing A Quiet Place, Krasinski also co-wrote the screenplay with Bryan Woods and Scott Beck and stars in the film alongside his wife, Emily Blunt (The Girl on the Train, Sicario, and the upcoming Mary Poppins Returns).

Noah Jupe (Houdini and Doyle, The Night Manager) and Millicent Simmonds (Wonderstruck) co-star as Blunt and Krasinski’s young children. Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller were involved as producers.

Paramount Pictures is planning an April 6, 2018 theatrical release. That April release date puts it up against the comedy film Blockers, starring Leslie Mann and John Cena, and the thriller Chappaquiddick with Jason Clarke and Kate Mara.

The Plot: In the modern horror thriller A Quiet Place, a family of four must navigate their lives in silence after mysterious creatures that hunt by sound threaten their survival. If they hear you, they hunt you.
