A brand new website called "Bingebuster" has launched as a fun virtual experience. Instead of just recreating the Blockbuster video experience digitally, they went a step further and actually made this a functional experience. The website syncs with various streaming services (Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV, Tubi, ITVX) to display actual movies that are available to watch directly on the online shelves as if you were browsing & choosing there. I remember doing this! The whole point is to recreate that nostalgic, lost-in-time experience of driving down to the nearest Blockbuster (or Hollywood Video or a local rental shop) Friday night and browsing the shelves and deciding then what to watch that night. This might really help with the streaming choice overload that so many people feel. It's organized just like Blockbuster - by genre along with new releases. You can even re-sort and filter as well. This is also made by the same guys who created the virtual Criterion Closet collection website called The Closet (check it out too).

Be careful with that! A new horror short has debuted online after playing at festivals that's worth a watch. Death Red is a 12-minute horror short film made by filmmaker Mitch Glass, his latest creation for the horror community (he also made the shorts Box 616 and Canary which we've featured previously). "This horror is scripted. Your goosebumps are not." Death Red premiered at the 2025 Sitges Film Festival last year and played at many others. Originally sold in the 1960s as Scarlet Secret, the paint later dubbed "Death Red" was outlawed in 1984 after it was discovered to contain the remains of victims murdered by Richard Barkner, a respected paint manufacturer who used his company, Barkner Paints, to conceal his crimes. Legend warns that using it and uttering the phrase "open their eyes" will awaken the trapped souls within. When young artist Claire acquires a forgotten can, she believes it will fuel her next masterpiece. Starring Kelsey Tuma as Claire. They shot this in only 2 days! Another impressive horror short from Mitch – I really hope he gets to make his first feature soon, too. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/danny-dyer-is-an-agent-in-one-man-show-the-soccer-agent-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/danny-dyer-is-an-agent-in-one-man-show-the-soccer-agent-trailer/#disqus_thread Fri, 07 Aug 2026 16:46:16 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=801403 "I don't just do this job. I AM this job!" ⚽ Vertigo Releasing has unveiled an official trailer for an indie film titled The Soccer Agent, also known as One Last Deal originally, since it should be called The Football Agent anywhere outside of the US. This Irish production first premiered at the Dublin Film Festival earlier this year and already opened in the UK back in March. It's a one-man-show film set entirely in this guy's office as he works out a major problem for his sports star clients. Starring Danny Dyer as Jimmy Banks, and Elliott Rogers as Matt Gravish. A veteran sports agent races to secure a final lucrative contract for his star client, as both their careers and lives hang in the balance. They're sending this direct-to-VOD in the US this fall and they also completely missed the World Cup soccer craze this summer. This story turns into an unsettling thriller when he gets an "unknown" call that changes everything... Worth a look if it sounds good. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-for-paolo-strippolis-the-spiral-italian-horror-film/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-look-teaser-for-paolo-strippolis-the-spiral-italian-horror-film/#disqus_thread Fri, 07 Aug 2026 15:40:43 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=801381 What's going on with this family? What will they have to deal with? One of the big horror premieres coming up this fall is this Italian film called The Spiral (aka L'estranea), made by filmmaker Paolo Strippoli as his latest genre offering (also A Classic Horror Story, The Holy Boy). This is supernatural thriller is first premiering at the 2026 Venice Film Festival in the Main Competition, then it will also play at TIFF in their prestigious Midnight Madness section in September. A mother arrives at her daughter's apartment during a storm to confess a lie that undermines the family's foundation, leading to an unraveling of the relationship between them. The film stars Jasmine Trinca, Romana Maggiora Vergano, Adriano Giannini, and Valeria Bruni Tedeschi. Anna confesses that she made a pact with a mysterious stranger 20 years earlier, making a sacrifice to save Alice, and now they must undo the curse. This teaser is more of just a clip, but it is a good quick intro to the family at the center of this story.

Remember this one? Universal Pictures has unveiled a brand new re-release trailer for the comedy The Nutty Professor celebrating its 30th Anniversary this year. Nutty Professor was director Tom Shadyac's second big hit after making Ace Ventura in 1994, this time a romantic comedy about a big guy who invents a skinny serum that changes his life. A remake of the 1963 movie of the same name, The Nutty Professor from 1996 stars Eddie Murphy in 7 different main roles in it – including as Sherman Klump and his skinny altar ego Buddy Love and most of the Klump family. The cast also includes Jada Pinkett Smith, James Coburn, Dave Chappelle, Larry Miller, John Ales, and Jamal Mixon. Grossly overweight yet good-hearted professor Sherman Klump takes a special chemical that turns him into the slim but obnoxious Buddy Love. It's showtime, everybody! Celebrate its 30th anniversary when the film returns to theaters this September. Way back in 1996, this was a huge box office hit - earning $128 million on its opening run that summer. Does it hold up all these years later? Well, go back to theaters and find out. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/javier-bardem-victoria-luengo-in-spanish-film-the-beloved-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/javier-bardem-victoria-luengo-in-spanish-film-the-beloved-trailer/#disqus_thread Fri, 07 Aug 2026 14:25:08 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=801324 "It's a story about betrayal, a story about abandonment." Madman Films has unveiled a new official trailer for the film titled The Beloved, originally known as El ser querido in Spanish, which initially premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival a few months ago. A new film by acclaimed director Rodrigo Sorogoyen (Stockholm, May God Save Us, The Candidate, Mother, The Beasts). Described as this year's Sentimental Value because the premise is quite similar - it's about an iconic filmmaker father trying to reconnect with his estranged daughter, who is also an actress. However, this film spends more time on set (in the Canary Islands) where he's shooting a new film which is thematically similar to the fractured relationship he has with her. Javier Bardem stars as Esteban Martínez, a famous filmmaker working on a new film. Victoria Luengo co-stars as his daughter Emilia, an unsuccessful actress. They reunite on a film shoot, confronting their strained relationship and many unresolved past issues that neither wants to address directly. This new trailer features many quotes from Cannes reviews along with a more melancholic & sad tone to capture the heartbreak between these two despite their attempt to come together and figure it all out.

Madman Films has revealed an official trailer for the acclaimed documentary film Rehearsals for a Revolution, made by the Iranian filmmaker Pegah Ahangarani. This first premiered at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival where it earned some top notch reviews and won the L'Œil d'or Best Documentary award at the fest. The profoundly moving doc film covers decades in the life of this actress and filmmaker, showing all her country has been through. Pegah traces her life through five portraits of her relatives and mentors. Using personal archives, home videos, protests, and newspapers, she chronicles over 40 years of Iranian history from 1979 to 2026. This easily sounds like one of the most important must watch docs of 2026. With many strong reviews to back it up and festival stops all over - next playing at the 2026 Melbourne Film Festival. "Ahangarani weaves together archival materials in order to show the world that personal and collective history cannot be separated, because at the end of every story there is always a human being." Check out the initial trailer below and add this to your watchlist. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-intense-teaser-for-bad-day-at-the-office-pov-action-thriller/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-intense-teaser-for-bad-day-at-the-office-pov-action-thriller/#disqus_thread Thu, 06 Aug 2026 20:44:32 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=801259 "Can you survive the day?" Action Xtreme has unveiled the first teaser trailer for an action movie Bad Day at the Office, a first person POV action film from action director Chee Keong Cheung. We haven't seen one of these POV action movies in a while! Time to dive into another crazy adventure. This is premiering at the 2026 Edinburgh Film Festival coming up this month as one of their Midnight premieres, before it hits theaters in the UK this October. A man with amnesia wakes up in a hotel room next to a corpse, triggering a dangerous conspiracy. He and a maid try to recover his memories & evade the cops to uncover the mystery and survive those pursuing them. The film stars John Hannah, Radha Mitchell, Tamer Hassan, Lana Parrilla, Tim Fellingham, Roxanne McKee, Branko Tomović, and Victor Gardener. Edinburgh's exciting intro: "Shot in the style of first-person shooter video games with cine-literate wit, humor, ferocious pacing and a cracking soundtrack, this is an anarchic, ultra-violent, hilarious thrill ride of pure, cinematic carnage. The ultimate Midnight Madness experience." Filmed entirely from a first-person POV using mainly GoPros. There's even a fight on the London Tube! And one with samurai swords.

HBO Max & Sky TV have revealed the first look teaser trailer for fiery new legal drama thriller series titled War, arriving to watch starting in October this fall. This UK production set in London is made for Sky TV, but HBO also thinks it looks good enough to drop it in the US streaming on HBO Max at the exact same time as the UK this fall. War stars Dominic West as the tech titan Morgan Henderson and Sienna Miller as his estranged wife, international film star Carla Duval. Set in the elite world of London law, it debuts with a scandalous divorce case that sends shockwaves through boardrooms, bedrooms, and courtrooms alike.

The divorce draws young lawyer Jonathan "Johnny" Warren into a ruthless world where ambition is currency, betrayal is strategy, and winning is everything. Season 2 is already being made and will continue with defamation case after the divorce is finalized. Also starring Archie Renaux, Marisa Tomei, Kelly Macdonald, David Harewood, Richard Schiff, Pip Torrens, Honor Swinton Byrne, Miles Jupp, and Phoebe Fox. This looks wicked and wild!

It's real important I get it back." Sony Pictures Classics has unveiled an official trailer for the film The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, an acclaimed new NYC love letter made by actor / filmmaker Noah Segan. This initially premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival earlier in the year to many rave reviews – it's one of the better films coming out of this year's fest. 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 as Harry, with Giancarlo Esposito, Will Price, Tatiana Maslany, Victoria Moroles, Steve Buscemi, and Jamie Lee Curtis. I'm a big fan of this film! It's old school, down-and-dirty filmmaking and the story is simple but it works well as a how-things-have-changed NYC parable. Definitely worth a watch when it's out in theaters. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-disneys-animal-doc-lion-exec-produced-by-favreau/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-disneys-animal-doc-lion-exec-produced-by-favreau/#disqus_thread Thu, 06 Aug 2026 15:39:51 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=801160 "The journey of a king." National Geographic & Disney have revealed an official trailer for a new nature doc called Lion, about lions and an adorable lion cub. This is their follow-up animal doc connected to the live-action The Lion King movies. With narration by O.J.

An emotional, real-life drama chronicling the remarkable four-year journey of a tiny lion cub named Kio as he becomes a king. Executive produced by Disney Legend and The Lion King live-action director Jon Favreau & BBC Studios Natural History Unit's creative director Mike Gunton. Blending Favreau's distinctive storytelling and passion with Gunton’s world-class natural history expertise, the ambitious series goes beyond traditional wildlife documentaries to deliver a gripping, blockbuster drama rooted in documentary truth. The truth about lions and the animal kingdom, I guess? Of course these lion cubs are so cute it's impossible not to be enamored by this.

Inspired by the memoir "Debriefing the President" by CIA Analyst John Nixon, the eight-episode political thriller chronicles one man's relentless pursuit of truth amid a nation's complicated quest for justice. The very first American to interrogate Saddam Hussein slowly starts to realize that the US invasion of Iraq is not as cut and dry, nor its outlook as positive, as Washington believes. With Joel Kinnaman as John Nixon & Waleed Zuaiter as Saddam Hussein, plus a cast featuring Lena Góra, Rebecca Night, Ewan Miller, Tom Berenger, Matt Barr, Paul Ryan, Christopher McDonald, Dar Salim, and Talia Balsam. Of course everything is being made for TV/streaming nowadays, but this looks like it would be better as a movie not a series. And more people might see it that way. It looks really intense!

From director Lance Oppenheim (of Some Kind of Heaven and "Ren Fair"), this new film stars Robert Pattinson as the host Chris Hansen, who seems to have his own motives for this series. In 2006, "To Catch a Predator" host Chris Hansen sets out to make television history. Just last year there was a documentary film titled Predators (watch the trailer) from Sundance, which took a very critical look at the show, the host Chris Hansen, and what was really going on behind the scenes, and whether it was actually helping stop predators or making things worse. This film seems to be inspired by the revelations in that doc, telling the story of how Hansen created this show for his own smug glory. Along with Pattinson, Primetime stars Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, Matthew Maher, Phoebe Bridgers, and Bokeem Woodbine as a cop. This is premiering at the 2026 Venice Film Festival next month before opening in US theaters this fall. "What would've happened if I wasn't here...?" Looks dark and intense!

Hitting theaters in November worldwide. We just posted the original Indian main trailer last week, this version is dubbed in English. It's similar but actually features a bunch of new scenes + footage not seen in the other recent trailer (including more of the flying elephant fight - his name is Airavata). Ramayana is a two-part film series & represents 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 first written thousands of years ago and influenced countless stories in all mediums ever since. The goal of the 2-part movie is to tell this iconic story via the ambition, scale, emotion & grandiose storytelling of films like 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. Also with Yash as Ravana, Sai Pallavi as Sita, Ravi Dubey, Sunny Deol, Kajal Aggarwal, Arun Govil, Indira Krishnan, Lara Dutta.

Lionsgate debuted a video for a recent viral marketing stunt they setup in New York City to promote the action movie Mutiny (watch the trailer). This is pretty cool! I dig these on-location promos. Mutiny smashes into theaters this August - made by the same action director as Plane. After his billionaire industrialist boss is murdered in front of him, Cole Reed is set up to take the fall for the crime – leaving him on the run as he works to uncover an international conspiracy. Most of the big action takes place on a cargo ship which Statham has invaded. Not only does he want vengeance, he's going to rescue a bunch of people. Starring Jason Statham as Cole Reed, with Annabelle Wallis, Jason Wong as Taran, Roland Møller, Arnas Fedaravicius, Adrian Lester. Lionsgate setup a big red button near the USS Intrepid Museum in NYC. When someone pressed it, a bunch of stunt actors would jump into action and fight each other there for ~5 minutes right in front of them. Awesome!

He's making his feature directorial debut working on this film. It premiered at festivals last year and will be out in US theaters this September. In the near future, twin siblings Bax & April (Storrie & Krug) struggle to survive at the margins of a hyper-capitalist city where technology quietly governs life and death. When April disappears after trying to protect him from a criminal network, Bax spirals into guilt & isolation. Haunted by visions of his sister, he descends into a violent underworld in search of the truth, confronting the cost of identity, love, and survival. Starring Lilly Krug and Connor Storrie (from Heated Rivalry), with Tudor Chirila, Serban Pavlu, Tourialay Akbari. This was filmed in Budapest, Romania and features solid low budget visuals - with cinematography by Matthew Atticus Berger. They're obviously going for a Blade Runner 2049 vibe in here, though the story doesn't seem that original or interesting to follow.

Toby must unravel the town's deep corruption before his career -- and his life -- end up as dead as the missing victim. This almost plays like a dark comedy mixed with a rural thriller, with all the sarcasm in it. Filmed on location in Mississippi, of course. The Deputy stars Duke Nicholson, Stephen Dorff, Tiffany Haddish, with Billie Lourd, Colleen Camp, Julia Fox, Daniel Diemer, and the William H. Macy as Sheriff Krueger.
