Look at this beautiful place. Plus endless match lattes? Yes please. The latest must see animated short film coming out of the prestigious animation school Gobelins in Paris is this one titled Matcha Mountain. (We also recently posted Direction les Champs as well.) Made by a collection of six students at the school as their graduation project, this one features a very soft, lovely, colorful 2D style. Here's the official intro: Granny lives alone on Matcha Mountain. She rescues an injured balloon dog, addicted to matcha desserts by chance. (Of course–just like me, too!) Something begins to stir, and danger slowly creeps toward their fragile happiness... This is a dialogue free animated short that runs only 6 minutes and it's entirely worth a watch. It also reminds me of the charming Miyazaki short last year, which was also made by the same Zijin Chen from this short. Support the talented filmmakers & view below. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-promo-spots-for-jennifer-peedoms-tenzing-now-on-apple-tv/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-promo-spots-for-jennifer-peedoms-tenzing-now-on-apple-tv/#disqus_thread Fri, 16 Oct 2026 17:39:29 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=811934 Incredible achievements require great risk. Yes they do! The exquisite mountain climbing movie Tenzing is now available to watch on Apple TV streaming anytime. The film is an astonishing, exceptionally realistic mountain movie about the first summit of Mount Everest in 1953. It's also one of my favorites of 2026. On May 29th, 1953, New Zealander Edmund Hillary and Tibetan Sherpa Tenzing Norgay were the first to reach the top of the world's tallest mountain. Tenzing is the untold and inspiring tale of one of the most important mountain climbers in history who became the first on top of Chomolungma. Made by mountain filmmaker Jennifer Peedom (of docs Solo, Sherpa, Mountain, River) as her first narrative feature after many docs filmed in Nepal. Tenzing is a story of greatness that refuses to be diminished — and the love that makes it all possible. Starring Genden Phuntsok as Tenzing Norgay, Tom Hiddleston as Edmund Hillary, Willem Dafoe as John Hunt the British expedition team leader, Caitríona Balfe as Jill Henderson, and Thinley Lhamo as Dawa Norgay, Tenzing's first wife. I wrote a wonderful review of this, stating: "it is awe-inspiring and will leave everyone who watches it instilled with the sense of determination & success that got Tenzing & Ed to the top 73 years ago." There are a few more 30 second promo spots released by Apple TV that I'm highlighting below to celebrate its official release this week. Please take the time to watch & enjoy this film. // Continue Reading ›]]> 2 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/maddie-ziegler-in-fun-time-loop-comedy-in-a-holidaze-official-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/maddie-ziegler-in-fun-time-loop-comedy-in-a-holidaze-official-trailer/#disqus_thread Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:57:15 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=811893 "I'm projecting my fears onto a time loop fantasy!" 🎄 Netflix revealed the official trailer for a film titled In a Holidaze, one of their 2026 holiday season offerings this fall (along with A Dog's Perfect Christmas). From beloved author Christina Lauren comes a new holiday classic worth reliving. Maddie Ziegler stars in this festive romantic comedy all about second chances, tangled feelings, and a chosen family you’ll want to spend the holidays with. It’s going to be one cozy cabin Christmas with infinite do-overs. Will she figure out how to escape the loop? After making a romantic mistake of epic proportions, a directionless 20-something finds herself trapped in a holiday time-loop, forced to relive the same Christmas at her family's cabin until she discovers what truly makes her happy. Starring Maddie Ziegler, Graham Phillips, Elias Kacavas, Patton Oswalt, Jackie Sandler, Andrea Anders, Gil Bellows, Christopher Shyer, Samer Salem, Luke Roessier, Meredith Salenger, and Rob Lowe. Doesn't look so bad, should be a fun one to enjoy. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/trailer-for-loves-company-indie-comedy-with-rachel-dratch/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/trailer-for-loves-company-indie-comedy-with-rachel-dratch/#disqus_thread Fri, 16 Oct 2026 15:16:29 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=811840 "You are a bad houseguest..." FS is proud to debut the official trailer for the indie comedy film titled Loves Company, directed by filmmaker Jason Laurits as his feature directorial debut. This initially premiered at the Dances With Films Festival earlier in 2026 and played at a few other fests, being released by Tribeca Films starting in November on VOD this fall. "Don't Meet Your Idols." Celebrity personality, Blake de Troy, is fading into irrelevancy as a professional guest star and game show contestant. Just when he thinks he can no longer play the Hollywood game, a crazed fan holding him captive, strokes his ego enough to keep him wanting more. And nothing stirs up publicity like a kidnapping. Starring Rachel Dratch, Jack Plotnick, Sarah Baker, Dustin Ingram, Bryan Batt, Tristen J. Winger, Paul Wilson, & Rex Wheeler. This looks like a fun new spin on Misery, featuring a kooky cast playing up the awkwardness of the situation. It's always funny watching Dratch in any film and this one looks like it descends into some extra strange places. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-trailer-for-forty-love-french-tennis-film-with-romeo-beckham/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-trailer-for-forty-love-french-tennis-film-with-romeo-beckham/#disqus_thread Fri, 16 Oct 2026 14:17:27 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=811875 "In tennis, love means nothing." Studiocanal has revealed the first official trailer (with English subtitles) for the film titled Forty Love, a French gay tennis players movie made by filmmaker Pierre-Ange Carlotti as his first feature film. While there's no other international release dates set yet, this is ready to play in France starting in November this fall. A drama set in professional tennis, exploring the balance between ambition, performance, and intimacy on the French Riviera. A passionate LGBTQ sports film starring Paul Kircher, Guillaume Canet, Romeo Beckham (making his on-screen debut here), Benjamin Voisin, along with Catherine Deneuve. The film is a coming-of-age, rivals-to-lovers romance. It follows Sacha Gallo, a young tennis superstar. His world is turned on its head by a charismatic new rival, who challenges him on & off the court. "For the first time, he faces an opponent of an entirely different nature — love. A force as exhilarating as it is destabilizing — and far more dangerous than anything he has encountered on the court." Looks like the French version of Challengers with its own spicy twists and turns. This actually is really worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/horror-talk-series-your-dearest-darkest-friend-with-ted-raimi-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/horror-talk-series-your-dearest-darkest-friend-with-ted-raimi-trailer/#disqus_thread Fri, 16 Oct 2026 01:59:36 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=811837 "I do hope you'll join us for libations and lovely chat." Screambox has unveiled the first official trailer for a horror series called Your Dearest, Darkest Friend with Ted Raimi, which begins steaming later this month. This new Ted Raimi horror creation is yet another creepy talk show with Ted Raimi (kooky brother of master horror filmmaker Sam Raimi), who's eager to discuss any spooky topics. "Where Horror's Biggest Voices Share Their Greatest Stories." Raimi invites horror's greatest minds into his eerie manor for intimate conversations, signature cocktails, and curious discoveries. Legends and rising stars mingle with the spooky manor's peculiar puppet residents in a chilling talk-show experience. It's made for horror lovers, by horror lovers. As a self-proclaimed "Fabulist," Ted Raimi curates each guest's trip into a cinematic event that is one-part speakeasy of an era past, one-part fever-dream a-la Pee-wee's Playhouse, plus a dash of spooky spectacle that doesn’t dare end without a peculiar parting gift from "yours truly," Ted Raimi.

Some men disappear. Freestyle Digital Media has revealed the official trailer for a film titled Checkout, an indie film spy comedy made by the filmmaker Jonathan Dekel. This first premiered a few years ago & is only now getting a release direct-to-VOD this month. The film follows a desperate Mossad spy who's forced to retire yet goes rogue so he can catch a legendary terrorist. Checkout is a wickedly funny spy comedy about identity, obsession, and the thin line between a good story and a total lie. A desperate spy is interrogated about his relationship with a legendary terrorist, and every time he tells the story, it spirals further into farce. Starring character actor Josh Pais as Dov, Norman Issa, Dar Zuzovsky, Aki Avni, Yael Sharoni, & Oz Zehavi. One of the positive reviews quoted on the poster calls this a "Wes Anderson-ish espionage romp" which definitely sounds like fun – just hope it lives up to that description.

Corbijn's first new narrative feature since making Life way back in 2015, and his latest since the doc Squaring the Circle: The Story of Hipgnosis in 2023. This smoldering chamber thriller from director Anton Corbijn stars Oscar winner Helen Mirren + Alden Ehrenreich as opponents in a strange confrontation between a youthful literary agent and The Talented Mr. Ripley author Patricia Highsmith. A young man travels from New York to Switzerland to try to persuade iconic thriller writer Patricia Highsmith to write one final installment of her Tom Ripley series, with his efforts gradually turning more sinister. Along with Mirren & Ehrenreich, this one also stars Olivia Cooke & Juliet Stevenson.

Paramount+ has revealed a first look teaser for Frisco King, the next new spin-off series based on Taylor Sheridan's "Tulsa King" crime thriller series with Sylvester Stallone. This one is set down in Texas, of course it is, when ex-con Russell Lee Washington Jr. escapes from Oklahoma. In Frisco King, Samuel L. Jackson reprises the role of Russell Lee Washington Jr., this time lording over a Texas suburb. Sent by the mob to kill Dwight while in Tulsa, he's instead inspired to build his own criminal empire in Frisco. The series premieres on December 18th with two episodes followed by new episodes every Friday. Jackson’s character, Russell Lee Washington Jr., was first introduced in the third season of Tulsa King last month. In addition to Jackson, this next new series stars Asa Germann, Kai Caster, Lilah Pate and Savanna Gann, with a special appearance by Sylvester Stallone (returning as Dwight Manfredi). "Frisco may not know it yet, but its new king has arrived." Lee finds a hustler's playground hidden beneath the polished surface of American suburbia. Recruiting an ambitious protégé, a loyal driver, and a growing network of eccentric partners, Lee transforms small hustles into big business.

And I'll do something else that won't be the same." 🌸 Copper Pot Pictures revealed a trailer for a documentary film titled Don Bluth: Somewhere Out There, a biopic look back at the life and career of animation legend Don Bluth. This is releasing to watch on VOD starting in November coming soon. Don Bluth is the visionary behind the films An American Tail, The Land Before Time, The Secret of NIMH, and Anastasia, and the video game Dragon's Lair. Weaving intimate conversations with hundreds of hours of never-before-seen archival & home video, this film draws a compelling portrait of an artist who spent his life battling his own ego and a career torn between art and commerce all in pursuit of fulfilling his dream. Bluth led an early exodus from Disney in the 1980s (after The Fox and the Hound), battling the titan for animation's soul by creating his own work. The film shows his internal war between art, ego and faith. I'm a fan of Don Bluth and love the tell-all stories where people explain what really happened to them, how they feel, and how they've grown over time. Looks great! I'm in. // Continue Reading ›]]> 1 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-us-trailer-for-indias-ramayana-humongous-fantasy-action-epic/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-us-trailer-for-indias-ramayana-humongous-fantasy-action-epic/#disqus_thread Thu, 15 Oct 2026 14:50:36 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=811707 "Before history existed, men walked among gods.

Sony Pictures launched a final epic English-language trailer for the Indian action movie Ramayana, a religious fantasy adventure inspired by the Hindu legend of Rama. In theaters in November worldwide - including in the US. We posted the original Indian main trailer a few months ago. Ramayana is a two-part film series and is one of the most ambitious cinematic undertakings ever from India, crafted for a global audience – including an epic score composed by Oscar-winners Hans Zimmer & A.R. Rahman. The story was written thousands of years ago and influenced countless stories in all mediums ever since. The goal of this 2-part movie is to tell this iconic story via the ambition, scale, emotion & grandiose storytelling of classics Lords of the Rings, Avatar, Gladiator. With Ranbir Kapoor as Ram - his life, focusing on his exile and victory over the evil demon king Ravana, is chronicled in the epic Ramayana story. He's celebrated during festivals like Diwali & Ram Navami. "I will not hesitate to destroy him." Also with Yash as the bad guy Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, Kajal Aggarwal, Arun Govil, Indira Krishnan, Lara Dutta. This looks totally bonkers! Massive, massive scale and tons of vibrant footage. Yes it's mostly CGI but still – this should be as entertaining as RRR and all the major Indian action movies recently.

Netflix has debuted their main official trailer for their next animated movie titled Steps (aka Stepsisters), made by Netflix Animation Studios only for release via streaming. Arriving to watch just before Thanksgiving this fall. "Think you know Cinderella's 'evil' stepsisters? Think again." Steps is a reinvention of the Cinderella story about her other sisters. Blamed for magical mischief at the Royal Ball, stepsister Lilith turns her other step-sister into a frog and causes the kingdom to be run by a mean girl. She must partner with Cinderella to save the kingdom and prove that even "villains" deserve happily ever afters, too. Sure why not. This does look like a fun remix. The voice cast stars Ali Wong as Lilith, Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella, Stephanie Hsu as Margot, Nikki Glaser as the evil Priscilla, Daniel Radcliffe as The Prince, Young Mazino, Luis "Damian Priest" Martínez, Peter Dinklage, and Bette Midler as The Fairy Godmother. With a score by Kris Bowers (Oscar nominee for The Wild Robot). If you're into all this emotional footage, Steps is coming up to watch in a few weeks on Netflix.

Indeed the important question. Mubi has revealed the trailer for a documentary film titled Nuisance Bear, originally an A24 release that they've sold to Mubi instead. This premiered at the 2026 Sundance FIlm Festival earlier this year where it won the Grand Jury top doc prize. A young polar bear is confronted with the presence of humans during its seasonal migration, as the boundaries between human & animal habitats continue to blur due to worsening climate change. "For generations, we lived in a world where we kept our distance from each other. That world no longer exists." Filmed entirely in northern Canada, Churchill (see Google Maps) calls itself the "polar bear capital of the world." During the autumn, hundreds of bears migrate north, passing through. Based around the story of an old Inuit sage marked by personal tragedy, Nuisance Bear adopts the viewpoint of these "undesirable" neighbors whose path brings them into conflict with modern life. I've seen this doc and it's good but really tragic and sad because these poor bears are just treated as either zoo animals (even in the wild) or game to be hunted.

This is landing in theaters in November in under a month from now if you're ready to watch. From director Will Eubank (The Signal, Underwater, Land of Bad), this action thriller features Caviezel going up against an evil corporation. "He's not a threat, he's a guarantee." A weapon systems engineer and former Green Beret protects his Wyoming neighbors against a ruthless corporation threatening their rural community. When a powerful foreign corporation descends on his community, Fitz must take action: armed with weapons no one has ever seen, a lifetime of lethal military training, and an unwavering code of justice, Fitz becomes a one-man war. Jim Caviezel stars as Fitz with Olivia Thirlby, Beau Knapp, Garret Dillahunt, and Shea Whigham. The first trailer is a bit better overall, but this is still tons of fun. I am all for these ridiculous tech weapons, including the invisibility blanket + gun with auto-targeting rockets and much more craziness. // Continue Reading ›]]> 2 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-trailer-for-kj-apas-jimmy-stewart-biopic-about-his-wwii-era/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-trailer-for-kj-apas-jimmy-stewart-biopic-about-his-wwii-era/#disqus_thread Wed, 14 Oct 2026 19:07:16 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=811471 "Now, let me tell you a little secret...

Burns & Co. has debuted a third official trailer for Jimmy, a new biopic movie about the famous American actor James Stewart – aka Jimmy Stewart – and his toughest years flying planes during WWII before going on to make his magnum opus It's a Wonderful Life (in 1946).

KJ Apa stars as Jimmy Stewart in this Jimmy movie, along with Max Casella as Frank Capra, Kara Killmer as Lady Julia, Julian Works, Sarah Drew, Jason Alexander as Louis B.

He was among a certain breed of men who understood the true meaning of sacrifice by fighting for our freedom," KJ Apa explains.

Sumerian Pictures has debuted their full official trailer for Josephine, one of the best films of 2026 finally getting released this fall. Still on my Top 10 so far. The second feature film made by acclaimed filmmaker Beth de Araújo, this first premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival and won both the Audience Award & Grand Jury Prize at the fest. It just played at the London & Warsaw Film Festivals recently and everyone who sees it says it's excellent. After 8-year-old Josephine accidentally witnesses a heinous crime in the middle of Golden Gate Park, she begins to act out violently to protect herself. This emotional trauma leads to conflicts between her parents as they search for justice, and a way to feel safe again as a loving family. A remarkably powerful psychological thriller about our broken society. Starring newcomer Mason Reeves as Josephine, Channing Tatum & Gemma Chan as her parents, with Philip Ettinger, Syra McCarthy, and Eleanore Pienta. I wrote a glowing review at Sundance and have been recommending this to anyone who admires the power of cinema. A very tough film to watch about sexual assault, but it's so beautifully made with integrity and vitally important. Don't skip it. // Continue Reading ›]]> 3
