For anyone who’s not already aware, a new movie in The Grudge franchise is on the way. The movies are based on the Japanese Ju-On series, and began with the 2004 title of the same name starring Sarah Michelle Gellar.

This latest entry is produced by Sam Raimi and written and directed by Nicolas Pesce, and stars Andrea Riseborough, Demián Bichir, John Cho, Betty Gilpin, Lin Shaye, and Jacki Weaver. The movie is directly connected to both Ju-On and the 2004 American remake, but unlike the American remake, it will have an R rating instead of a PG-13 rating.

Focus Features has released the first trailer for Nocturnal Animals starring Amy Adams and Jake Gyllenhaal.

Directed by Tom Ford (A Single Man), the film is an adaptation Tony and Susan by Austin Wright that tells a story of love and revenge from two different perspectives, one from the point of view of Adam’s character who committed an unbelievable act of betrayal while the other focuses on Gyllenhaal’s character who has written a book about said betrayal and dedicated it to his estranged wife. Check out the full trailer below.

It’s being reported that Andrea Riseborough is in negotiations with Relativity Studios to join the cast of the long in development remake of the 1994 cult classic The Crow.

Assuming a deal gets all worked out and ink meets page Riseborough will play a villain in the movie, a character named Top Dollar, who was played in the original movie by Michael Wincott. The character was the main villain in the first movie, but is not in the graphic novel the movies are based on by James O’Barr.

First time director, Henry Alex Rubin, masters one of the most formidable difficulties in cinema with the greatest of ease and subtlety. He is able to take multiple narratives and seamlessly connect them in plausible ways in Disconnect. This weaving of narratives can be cumbersome and tackily melodramatic. Such was the case in 2005 when Crash made this storytelling popular, and a year later Babel grandly exploited the ploy to achieve artistic splendor. Each of these films was successful in their own right (Crash winning Best Picture at the Oscars and Babel receiving much critical acclaim).

After those two aforementioned films it seemed that the interlocking narrative was bound for obsolescence, following many botched attempts to replicate the magic that directors Paul Haggis and Alfonso Cuaron captured. But Mr. Rubin, working with an impeccable script crafted by Andrew Stern, resuscitates this form of narrative, attaching to it a social and domestic relevance that will undoubtedly leave viewers reeling after realizing there is a latent infection not only constantly threatening our society today but also our personal lives.

Despite what Jack Harper (Tom Cruise) may know about what happened to the Earth 60 years ago, nothing could have prepared him for the truth – not even a long-lost lover (Olga Kurylenko) who literally fell from the sky. The new trailer for Joseph Kosinski‘s Oblivion has arrived and it gives us a better picture of what Harper is fighting for and who he is up against. Morgan Freeman plays a freedom fighter who has all the answers that Harper is looking for. But who can Harper believe?

Check out the trailer here below to find out.

The trailer does create a splendid looking post-apocalyptic Earth, and the sci-fi machinery looks to be very polished and very real. This gives me a lot of hope that Kosinski’s second directorial effort will be much better than his first, especially since Kosinski, Karl Gajdusek, and Michael Arndt have adapted the screenplay from a comic that Kosinski created.
