Sony Pictures has just released the second trailer for Antoine Fuqua‘s The Magnificent Seven. The film is a reimagining of the 1960’s film of the same name, which also happened to be an adaptation of Akira Kurosawa’s 1954 Japanese-language film Seven Samurai. Fuqua’s film stars Denzel Washington, Chris Pratt, Ethan Hawke, Vincent D’Onofrio, Lee Byung-hun, Manuel Garcia Rulfo, and Martin Sensmeier as our seven protagonists, each with their own special set of skills, who are hired by the residents of a small town in need of help ousting the nefarious industrialist Bartholomew Bogue (Peter Sarsgaard).

Check out the trailer here below.

Remakes can be frustrating, especially now that there are so many of them. But Disney seems to have the formula to get them right with their live-action remakes of their classic animated films. Cinderella and The Jungle Book are some of the more recent films that show that if you put the right creative team behind the lens, you can have blockbuster hit. So they got Bill Condon (Dreamgirls, Chicago) to direct Beauty and the Beast. Then there was the cast. As we have seen from these Disney remakes, they usually tout a rather talented cast. So they got Emma Watson and Dan Stevens to star as the live-action versions of their animated Beauty and the Beast characters. Not to mention they also cast Luke Evans as Gaston and Josh Gad as LeFou. And let’s not forget Ewan McGregor as Lumiere and Ian McKellen as Cogsworth. They even brought back Alan Menken who will do new recordings of the original songs and have new songs as well.

A recent teaser trailer just gave us a small taste of what’s to come. Sure there was a lack of music, but all the decor and cinematography proves that the studio is putting 110% effort into making something really spectacular. So now we are getting another look at the marketing campaign. The first teaser poster for Beauty and the Beast has just been released. Check it out here below.

A week ago our own Michael Lee shared the new Ghostbuster‘s theme song by Fall Out Boy and Missy Elliott on Geeks of Doom, and the reactions were sorta… mixed.

But if you were among those who disliked that version, a new Japanese pop take on the song has been released that you might just enjoy. You can watch the video below.

Disney has released an official trailer for Pete’s Dragon, the next in the line of remakes of their older movies. We saw a teaser trailer for the movie released back in February.

Unlike most of Disney’s remakes lately, which are updated live-action takes on their classic animated features, this one is a remake of their 1977 feature of the same name, which was a mixture of live-action and animation.

You can read more about the movie, give the new trailer a watch, and see a new poster below.

In my opinion there is no greater fusion of science fiction and horror than The Thing, John Carpenter‘s 1982 masterpiece of frostbitten fear and otherworldly invaders. It may have flopped hard at the box office when it first opened (a week following the release of E.T. – wow, that could not have been a pretty sight), but the film has gained a massive cult following over the years thanks to repeated cable airings and home video rentals and sales, and it has endured as an unbeatable genre classic.

Scream Factory, the offshoot of Shout! Factory devoted to releasing only the finest in sci-fi and horror cinema on Blu-ray and DVD, is preparing to give us fans of The Thing its definitive home video edition when it releases Carpenter’s timeless film on collector’s edition and deluxe limited edition Blu-ray this fall.
