It's a full moon so you know what that means–time for a werewolf trailer. Focus Features has debuted the second trailer for Robert Eggers' next new horror movie titled Werwulf, an old English version of the classic Werewolf movie. (Also known as VVervvulf.) He last re-imagined Dracula in Nosferatu, now he re-imagines the Lycanthrope horror story as this new movie Werwulf - in theaters this Christmas. Set during 13th-century England, a mysterious creature stalks a foggy countryside transforming local folklore into terrifying reality as villagers face an ancient supernatural threat. Eggers' "most visceral and haunting experience yet" is a harrowing tale of devotion, damnation and the devil within. Werwulf stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as the cursed farmer "werewolf", with Lily-Rose Depp, Willem Dafoe, Ralph Ineson, Jack Morris, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Jan Bijvoet, and Ritchi Edwards. The dialogue is all in old Middle English and it's Eggers' "darkest script he has ever written." With music from Robin Carolan, and cinematography by Eggers' regular Jarin Blaschke (The Lighthouse, The Northman, Nosferatu). It's an even better trailer than the first one a few months ago – and there's an eerie new website to explore. Awooo. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-trailer-for-classic-1956-sci-fi-forbidden-planet-4k-re-release/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-trailer-for-classic-1956-sci-fi-forbidden-planet-4k-re-release/#disqus_thread Fri, 25 Sep 2026 21:04:53 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808977 "I warned you. I begged you not to land on this planet." But they want anyway! Arrow Video has revealed an official trailer for the 4K Limited Edition Blu-ray version of Forbidden Planet, the 1956 science fiction classic from filmmaker Fred M. Wilcox.

Starring Walter Pidgeon, Anne Francis, Leslie Nielsen, Warren Stevens, and the iconic Robby the Robot. One of the all-time greats of sci-fi cinema, Forbidden Planet elevated the genre to a whole new level, transposing Shakespeare's The Tempest into deepest space and breaking new ground with its iconic designs, elaborate sets, and pioneering electronic score. For the first time, FP is presented in its original Cinemascope aspect ratio of 2.55:1 with its theatrical "Perspecta" stereo soundtrack in an eye-popping brand new 4K restoration that is out of this world!

Aura Entertainment has unveiled the first official trailer for the indie horror film titled Vampire Carnival, arriving to watch starting in October this fall. From the genre filmmakers David Charbonier & Justin Douglas Powell - a tale of vampires and romance and dark secrets. Haunted by her past, a grieving girl named Gemma is drawn to a mysterious traveling carnival that arrives in her small town - only to discover an underground world that feeds on despair and demands a costly price for escape. There, Gemma sparks a romance with a handsome stranger but is shocked when a ghost from her past seems hell-bent on tearing them apart. Soon, long forgotten secrets will resurface and change the life of Gemma when she confronts the followers and the shadowy man leading them. The film stars Nell Verlaque as Gemma, with Kieron Moore, Paulina Chávez, Alicia Sanz, Eion Macken, and Jason Isaacs. It doesn't seem like there's anything new or interesting about this peculiar vampire tale.

People discovered us." Netflix has revealed the first look teaser trailer for another new comedy doc offering this fall titled SCTV: The Greatest Show You've Never Heard Of. That title says it all! SCTV is an influential Canadian sketch comedy show that was kind of the Canadian version of Saturday Night Live. Short for "Second City Television", SCTV ran intermittently between 1976 and 1984 about a fictional television station. It was created as an offshoot of Toronto's Second City troupe. It moved to American television, where it aired on NBC from 1981 to 1983. This new doc explores SCTV's rise & legacy through cast interviews and a Toronto reunion, revealing how the Canadian sketch comedy series became influential and launched comedy icons while examining the lasting creative partnerships. Featuring comedy icons like Catherine O'Hara (RIP), Eugene Levy, Rick Moranis, Martin Short, Joe Flaherty (RIP), and John Candy (RIP). Tom Hanks is a massive fan of the show, too. This doc connects right in with the other Toronto comedy doc this year - You Had to Be There about Toronto's Godspell. The film about SCTV is a funny and heartfelt celebration of how a scrappy Canadian sketch show made comedy history. Laugh on. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-important-doc-naza-by-yuval-abraham-rachel-szor/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-important-doc-naza-by-yuval-abraham-rachel-szor/#disqus_thread Fri, 25 Sep 2026 16:33:06 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808898 "Likely to shake you to your core..." Mk2 Films revealed the official trailer for the acclaimed documentary film titled NAZA, a remarkably upsetting look about using AI in horrible ways. This film premeired at the 2026 Venice Film Festival earlier this month, and it was highlighted in my Best of the Fest recap as one of the best films from Venice this year. A vitally important, must see doc that actually might change the world. Filmed at night from Tel Aviv, Israel rooftops, this powerful investigative documentary examines the civilian casualties of Israel's military operations in Gaza and the systems behind targeted killings of Palestinians. It was produced by The Guardian, JW Films, Placeholder Films, and Unseen Hand, and executive produced by Oscar winner Jonathan Glazer (of The Zone of Interest). Not only is this film important for political reasons, but it's also important to see how Artificial Intelligence systems work today, their insane surveillance is & how much access they have, and how this is all used against regular people for the control of those in power. Frightening doesn't even cover half of it! Do not ignore this doc – it's seriously eye-opening & unforgettable. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/another-quick-trailer-for-turturros-only-living-pickpocket-in-new-york/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/another-quick-trailer-for-turturros-only-living-pickpocket-in-new-york/#disqus_thread Fri, 25 Sep 2026 15:49:31 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808889 "You know the consequence of stealing from a family like mine..." Sony Pictures Classics revealed another new trailer for the film The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, an acclaimed story of a pickpocketer in NYC made by actor / filmmaker Noah Segan. It's a good one! This first premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival to mostly rave reviews and now it opens in theaters soon this fall. Led by John Turturro in one of his finest performances, the film follows Harry, an old school hustler / pickpocket. A classic native New Yorker, he moves through life lubricating palms with cash, relying on his wits & connections. But times are changing for Harry. His daily take isn't green bills & wristwatches, it's credit cards and cell phones. And one unfortunate night, cryptocurrency and a handgun – which gets him into big trouble. A nostalgic portrait of a small-time career criminal navigating today's digitally networked world. Featuring Turturro playing Harry, with Giancarlo Esposito, Will Price, Tatiana Maslany, Victoria Moroles, Steve Buscemi, and Jamie Lee Curtis. This is old school, down-and-dirty filmmaking and the story is simple but it works well as a how-things-have-changed NYC parable. This trailer is basically a shorter version of the previous official trailer - but I'm happy to post it anyway. And I hope folks go catch this when it's playing in theaters. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/brandon-sklenar-dog-in-gritty-thriller-the-rescue-official-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/brandon-sklenar-dog-in-gritty-thriller-the-rescue-official-trailer/#disqus_thread Fri, 25 Sep 2026 13:55:17 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808868 "Nobody knows these mountains better than me. I know what I'm getting myself into." Paramount Pictures has revealed their official trailer for The Rescue, a dog movie + action thriller + cowboy vengeance story jumble of everything in one generic script. Nothing will stand between him, his dog, and his daughter. Well, of course not, that's the American way! Man must save woman always! Ugh. Brandon Sklenar stars as a former rodeo cowboy who takes matters into his own hands when his daughter is kidnapped for ransom. With her devoted dog by his side, he sets out to bring her home and will stop at nothing to find her. Starring Sklenar as "The Cowboy", with Josh Lucas, Hassie Harrison, Lorelei Olivia Mote, Nick Searcy, Austin Amelio, Spencer Treat Clark, Tim Blake Nelson, and Josh Duhamel. It looks excruciatingly cheese with all these cliche "I am the good guy taking out the bad guys" tropes. Don't mess with this cowboy. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/post-apocalyptic-survival-spooky-guests-in-hallowarrior-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/post-apocalyptic-survival-spooky-guests-in-hallowarrior-trailer/#disqus_thread Thu, 24 Sep 2026 21:11:55 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808841 "Just wait until our family gets a load of you..."

Starring Milly Shapiro (the sister girl from Hereditary!), along with Ajani Russell, AJ Bowen, and Shannyn Sossamon. Director Ben Sottak states: "Hallowarrior is a love letter to horror and Halloween, and I am thrilled that the film has found its home... It's an honor to have Hallowarrior join the Shudder family, and a treat to introduce their audience to this fun, scary, gory film along with its badass lead, Pumpkin, played by the incredible Milly Shapiro."

A second chance." Dekanalog has debuted an official US trailer for the kooky fun animal movie titled Hen, a story of a chicken on the run in Greece. Also known as The Hen or κότα in Greek - this premiered at TIFF 2025 last year and has been playing in many countries during 2026 already. This clever film follows a Leghorn chicken who escapes from an industrial farm and wanders until finding a home in the chicken coop of a small family-owned restaurant tied to a human smuggling ring. It was shot entirely in Greece and features 8 separate Hungarian chickens in the lead role of the "hen" – named Eszti, Szandi, Feri, Enci, Eti, Eniko, Nora, and Anett. 🐔 Yep they're all cuties! Hen follows a chicken on the road navigating the pecking order of a crumbling seaside restaurant in Greece. As she fights to protect her eggs, she becomes an unwitting witness to the complex human lives around her as the restaurant is caught up in greed, smuggling, and the migrant crisis. Reminds me of those donkey movies Eo and Au Hasard Balthazar, which are no doubt an inspiration for this tale. This looks delightful! And I hope the chicken makes it safely all the way to the end wherever she wants to go. Hen is finally releasing in limited US theaters in November. // Continue Reading ›]]> 2 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/david-oyelowo-hayley-atwell-in-treasure-island-mini-series-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/david-oyelowo-hayley-atwell-in-treasure-island-mini-series-trailer/#disqus_thread Thu, 24 Sep 2026 19:55:20 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808794 "We are more than men. We live forever!" 🦜 MGM+ & Paramount+ have revealed the main official trailer for an intense new Treasure Island series, arriving for streaming starting in October this fall. A fresh new adaptation of the iconic pirates adventure novel of the same name from Robert Louis Stevenson, originally published in 1883. Jim Hawkins sets sail aboard the Hispaniola, but as the crew closes in on Captain Flint’s treasure, loyalties begin to fracture and Long John Silver’s ambitions emerge. Starring David Oyelowo as Long John Silver, Hayley Atwell as Bess Hawkins, and Tom Sweet as Jim Hawkins, with Jack Huston, Tomer Capone, Craige Els, Tristan Sturrock, and Neil Pendleton. Jim Hawkins discover a treasure map, but his mother Bess's actions put them both in danger. Aboard The Hispaniola, they navigate threats from pirates and agents as alliances shift and survival hangs in the balance. Not sure why we need a pirate adventure story right now? Is anyone excited for it? But why not, looks entertaining enough.

Mixtape is scheduled to debuted for streaming on Shudder starting in early October - as always every year after year. Ready for more horror mayhem? V/H/S/Mixtape cranks the volume on horror with a blood-soaked collection of cursed music videos, terrifying performances, and found footage. Press play. Pray it stops. Directors of the segments this time include Ernest Dickerson (Demon Knight), Flying Lotus (Ash), Ghost's Tobias Forge, David Moreau (MadS), RZA (One Spoon of Chocolate), and Renee Zhan, with the film featuring GWAR and practical puppet effects from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop. What?! Awesome. Starring Barbara Crampton, Alex Hsu, Elie Kaempfen, Neela Jolene. I'm still impressed by how they continue making V/H/S movies and how bonkers the stories are every time. This is why horror rules! Such gross fun. The theme in Mixtape this time seems to be music or sound horror - which should be gnarly. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/johnny-depp-penelope-cruz-in-day-drinker-thriller-teaser-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/johnny-depp-penelope-cruz-in-day-drinker-thriller-teaser-trailer/#disqus_thread Thu, 24 Sep 2026 18:15:12 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808754 "Don't you sometimes want to misbehave?"

Starring Johnny Depp, Madelyn Cline & Penélope Cruz, along with Manu Ríos, Arón Piper, Juan Diego Botto, Anika Boyle. Is he some kind of John Wick again? This looks so weird so far.

Musk just premiered at the 2026 Venice Film Festival and is releasing in theaters in October very soon (Alex Gibney also debuted his other new doc Knife: The Attempted Murder of Salman Rushdie at Sundance 2026 earlier this year). Gibney's next doc is a full-on, 4-hour long journalistic doc that is split into two parts with an intermission. The first half is about Tesla & Space X, and the second half is about Twitter & Trump. "An incisive look behind the legend of Elon Musk, the wealthiest, and most unchecked, man on the planet." Yep. Gibney continues to show he's a master at exposing the dark truths behind the façade of public personas to demonstrate how power corrupts, and how absolute power corrupts absolutely. I've seen this doc and it does expose him for being a massive fraudster, just lying over and over about what he will do and what he will accomplish, while others do the actual hard work. The rest of it is all in here – watch this doc when it opens. // Continue Reading ›]]> 3 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-madden-football-movie-with-nicolas-cage-as-madden/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-madden-football-movie-with-nicolas-cage-as-madden/#disqus_thread Thu, 24 Sep 2026 14:23:04 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808709 "I can make what's inside your head live forever!"

Starring Slow Horses' Rosalind Eleazar as Misty, Chris Rock, Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick, Topher Grace, Kelli Garner, Rich Sommer, Amy Landecker, Anthony Anderson, and Tracie Thoms as Rhonda. The review from TIFF were mostly mixed, not everyone enjoyed this, but it does seem like a fascinating take on an actress making a comeback.

This is the first ever DC horror thriller, based on the comic book character of Clayface from the Batman universe. The movie is a creepy body horror story about an up-and-coming actor whose face is disfigured by a gangster. As a last resort, he turns to a scientist who transforms his body into clay. Exploring "the loss of one's identity and humanity, corrosive love, and the dark underbelly of scientific ambition." Tom Rhys Harries stars as Matt Hagen who becomes "Clayface", with Eddie Marsan, Max Minghella, Naomi Ackie, David Dencik, Nancy Carroll & Joshua James. It's produced by The Batman's Matt Reeves and features a screenplay co-written by horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan. The first teaser is still the best preview so far, the last trailer was okay, but this final trailer looks like it actually might deliver on being a thrilling anti-hero story of a man becoming a comic book villain. Hopefully this ends up being pretty good. // Continue Reading ›]]> 2 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/freaky-final-trailer-for-beware-boiuna-gigantic-amazon-snake-horror/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/freaky-final-trailer-for-beware-boiuna-gigantic-amazon-snake-horror/#disqus_thread Wed, 23 Sep 2026 23:02:26 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808647 "Just hanging out in the jungle with a giant snake." 🐍 She's almost here!

A team of doctors embark on a local mission in the Amazon rain forest, but it soon becomes clear that not everybody – or everything – is happy to see them. Their appearance draws the attention of an ancient predator, the "Boiúna." In the jungle where nature holds absolute power, she decides who lives & who dies.

Studiocanal has revealed an official trailer for Another Day for the French film also known as Garance. The original French title is the name of the main character, though the English title is more of a thematic title about her alcoholism. This premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival playing in the Main Competition - I'm a big fan of it even though it got mixed reviews (here's mine). Garance is a young actress but not a star. She manages things as best she can, finding fuel and comfort in alcohol. As she embarks for an 8-year journey of life changes, she drinks more and more. Until death seems to loom. Starring Adèle Exarchopoulos as Garance & Sara Giraudeau as Pauline, with Rudgy Pajany, Raya Martigny, Mathilde Roehrich, Sara-Jeanne Drillaud. Part of the reason this did not get great reviews is because it's a very direct, specific look at how an alcoholic person refuses help and yet must learn to get that help. And while I think that's important to portray in cinema, not everyone agrees.

This premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. It also played at many other doc fests: True/False, Thessaloniki, Docs Against Gravity, and at Sheffield. Closure is "a visceral film that defies the true-crime genre." After his teenage son goes missing, Daniel scours the depths of the Vistula River, torn between the dread of a fatal leap and the hope that his son may still be alive. The film is a documentary, but plays like a haunting mystery thriller. It's all about how so many young people go missing in Poland & how they can never find them yet the adults keep looking and looking. I've seen this film at Sundance and it's very good, but also depressing, obviously. Reviews state: "Marczak’s film becomes not just a document of a hunt but a psychological portrait of loss and a family’s attempts to come to terms with that." One of the year's unique docs even if it is a heavy watch. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/epic-art-heist-movie-masterplan-official-trailer-starring-stanley-tucci/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/epic-art-heist-movie-masterplan-official-trailer-starring-stanley-tucci/#disqus_thread Wed, 23 Sep 2026 19:45:17 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808569 "I would like to offer you the job of a lifetime."

Thrown into a chaotic reunion they never asked for, this new family must learn to work together—and try not to kill each other—if they want any chance at pulling off the heist of the century. The heist? The Mona Lisa, though perhaps there's more trickery going on. Stanley Tucci stars as the art thief Roger, along with Simona Tabasco as Chiara and Victor Belmondo and Jay. Filmed around France & Italy, of course. This is skipping theaters and heading directly to streaming next month, which seems like perhaps the best plan for this one.
