The Girl on the Train, starring Emily Blunt is a film adaptation of the novel by Paula Hawkins. The movie is billed as a mystery thriller and it will be released on October 7th. Looks like I have a new book to read before October 7th.
Trailer: The Birth of a Nation
Nina Simone's rendition of "Strange Fruit" playing in the background just ripped my heart from my chest, and I'm bleeding happily because this movie looks absolutely riveting. I cannot wait for it to hit theaters in October. Here's to high hopes for authentic storytelling.
Trailer: Me Before You
This looks adorable. Me Before You is scheduled for release on June 3rd.
Trailer: The Family Fang
I wasn't sure how I felt about seeing so many familiar faces in one movie, when there aren't a bunch of explosions and heart-pumping chase scenes, that sort of thing can be distracting. I didn't think I'd get into this, but by the time the trailer was over, my interest had been piqued. I love stories about dysfunctional families because who doesn't? Plus Christopher Walken's in this, so why not? The Family Fang hits theaters April 29th.
Trailer: Green Room
I've never seen Patrick Stewart play anything other than a fearless and wise leader (not counting his voiceover work) and I have to say, seeing him in a role that's a complete departure from that persona is refreshing. Green Room opens in limited release this Thursday, April 14th and it opens nationwide on April 24th.
Trailer: Born to Be Blue
Ethan Hawke is already getting a considerable amount of Oscar buzz for his portrayal of jazz legend Chet Baker. If you're thinking, "Hold up, it's waaaaay too early for Oscar buzz right now," you're not alone. I thought the same exact thing when I read the reviews, but then I watched the trailer and a few clips. From what I can see, Hawke is back and in top form. I'm excited.
