New Trailers! Dracula, Normal, Hokum & Greenland 2: Migration
🎥 Caleb Landry Jones embraces eternal life, Bob Odenkirk faces small-town mayhem, Adam Scott confronts ancient evil, and Gerard Butler fights for survival, yet again!
🎥 “Dracula” U.S. Trailer: Caleb Landry Jones Becomes a Cursed Prince of Eternal Love in Luc Besson’s Operatic Gothic Reimagining with Matilda De Angelis & Christoph Waltz — In U.S. Theaters February 6th
Fans of classic monster movies are having a helluva time right now. Just recently, Guillermo del Toro supplied us with his vision of Frankenstein to mostly positive reactions. Early next year, Maggie Gyllenhaal will offer her version of The Bride, turning Frankenstein and Bride of Frankenstein into a Bonnie-and-Clyde–style duo.
But here’s a question... what about Dracula? Surely someone must have gotten their proverbial fangs into vampiric lore, right? We can’t be living in a world where the Prince of Darkness has been left out of the revival conversation. Well, folks, here comes Luc Besson to provide his own bold, blood-soaked take on the legendary vampire. And truth be told, it kind of looks a whole lot like Francis Ford Coppola’s 1992 vision, only filtered through a French period flair. Expect powdered wigs, candlelit salons, and aristocratic decadence as this Transylvanian ruler travels oceans of time to seduce his way into the heart of the woman he believes he lost ages ago. He might not prefer to drink wine, but he’s always had a thirst for something far stronger.
After collaborating on the 2023 dark crime thriller Dogman, Besson once again teams up with actor Caleb Landry Jones, who may not be a household name yet but has already built a reputation as a fearless, fully committed performer. Jones now steps into a role made iconic by Gary Oldman, which is no small task. While this project isn’t connected to Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula, it’s hard not to measure it against Oldman’s towering, operatic performance.
Here, Jones adopts a vague Eastern European accent as a 15th-century Romanian prince who loses his beloved wife while away fighting in a brutal war. Upon returning home, he denounces God, makes a deal with the devil, and begins his cursed existence as a centuries-old Transylvanian vampire. His journey eventually carries him to 1880s France, where a real estate transaction introduces him to a Parisian attorney and, soon after, the attorney’s fiancée, Mina. She, of course, bears an uncanny resemblance to the wife he lost long ago, setting off a dangerous collision of obsession, longing, and bloodlust.
Italian actress Matilda De Angelis (from HBO’s The Undoing) co-stars as Mina, the object of Dracula’s eternal longing, while Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz (because no stylish monster movie remake is complete without Christoph Waltz) steps in as the “Priest,” a God-fearing demon slayer tasked with “saving” the Count. He’s essentially serving as this film’s Van Helsing stand-in.
Co-starring Guillaume de Tonquédec, Zoë Bleu, Ewens Abid, and David Shields, the film marks Luc Besson’s 22nd feature, following genre-defining classics like The Fifth Element, Léon: The Professional, and La Femme Nikita, along with a handful of not-so-classic but undeniably fun guilty pleasures such as Lucy, The Messenger: The Story of Joan of Arc, Anna, and Dogman.
So sharpen those wooden stakes and mind your necks... ‘cause Dracula is slated to bite into U.S. theaters February 6th.
🎥 “Normal” Teaser Trailer: Bob Odenkirk Steps Into the Line of Fire as a Worn-Down Sheriff in Ben Wheatley’s Small-Town Action Thriller With Henry Winkler & Lena Headey — In Theaters April 17th
Here’s the funny thing about Bob Odenkirk’s career: he was a well-known comedian and a venerated comedy writer for years who, throughout the ’90s, came up with some of the greatest sketches in television history. Have you ever seen Chris Farley’s iconic sketch Matt Foley: Motivational Speaker? Well, Odenkirk is the dude who wrote that one for Farley.
Then something happened.
Odenkirk got cast as the smarmy lawyer Saul Goodman in Vince Gilligan’s Breaking Bad, and then continued the character on the equally brilliant prequel series Better Call Saul. All of a sudden, Odenkirk became more widely known for his dramatic work than his comedy. You’d think that would be about as good as it gets for a career like that.
But no. Odenkirk proved he wasn’t done surprising us, showing off both his dramatic chops and some legit fighting moves in the full-blown 2021 action romp Nobody, a role he’s since reprised for the 2025 sequel. Now, Odenkirk is moving into what feels like his third career change as a bona fide action star. And sure, he won’t be mistaken for someone like Jason Statham or Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson anytime soon, but he’s already proven he’s got what it takes to stand among them.
Odenkirk is once again reteaming with John Wick creator and Nobody scribe Derek Kolstad, along with Nobody producer Marc Provissiero, for what looks like a deceptively innocent small-town action bonanza where he yet again proves that when bullets start whizzing by, he’s the last guy you should be counting out.
In Normal, Odenkirk stars as Sheriff Ulysses, a substitute lawman looking for a fresh start. Haunted by both marital troubles and what’s ominously referred to as “moral injuries in the line of duty,” Ulysses takes a provisional posting in the quaint town of Normal. It’s a place that sounds like the definition of boring, where the biggest crime might be jaywalking or stealing a garden gnome.
But of course, nothing is ever that simple. When a botched bank robbery shatters the town’s peaceful routine, Ulysses finds himself stumbling into something far bigger and far darker than he bargained for. Turns out, Normal isn’t just a misleading name... it’s a full-blown lie. And whatever secrets this town has been burying are about to claw their way to the surface, with Ulysses right in the middle of it all.
Directed by Ben Wheatley, the cult British filmmaker known for his gritty, stylized genre work in Meg 2: The Trench, Free Fire, and High-Rise, Normal is being described as a “kinetic neo-Western,” which is code for plenty of bullet-riddled gunfights, bone-breaking brawls, moral ambiguity, and a whole lot of tension wrapped in snow-covered Americana.
Joining Odenkirk in the cast are TV icon Henry Winkler and Game of Thrones’ Lena Headey, along with Brendan Fletcher, Peter Shinkoda, Jess McLeod, Ryan Allen, and Billy MacLellan.
At this point, Odenkirk is positioning himself as a new kind of action hero — one who’s reluctant, worn down, and just trying to survive a day that has gone completely tits up. Because in a town called Normal, nothing ever is.
Normal is coming to theaters April 17th.
🎥 “Hokum” Teaser: Adam Scott Is Haunted by an Ancient Witch in a New Supernatural Horror From Oddity Director Damian McCarthy — In Theaters May 1st
Here’s a quick recommendation for any horror fans looking for a movie that can crawl under your skin and rattle your core, as the terror doesn’t come from cheap jump scares but rather from a pure, slow-burning atmosphere of dread and creepiness. It’s called Oddity. And it’s a small British horror thriller that came out last year, introducing Irish horror filmmaker Damian McCarthy as a major new voice in the genre.
The film was one of our favorite horror gems of last year and instantly put McCarthy on our radar as a filmmaker to watch. Now it seems McCarthy will be returning next year with his follow-up, which just might cement him further as a talent horror fans might not want to ignore.
Hokum features Severance star Adam Scott in what looks like a sharp left turn from his usual affable roles as Ohm Bauman, a reclusive horror novelist who travels to Ireland to scatter his parents’ ashes. Seeking quiet, closure, and maybe a little peace, he instead finds himself surrounded by whispered legends, uneasy locals, and tales of an ancient witch said to haunt the remote inn where he’s staying.
This first teaser doesn’t offer much in the way of detail, but McCarthy has already proven his knack for atmosphere-first horror, and Hokum so far appears cut from the same cloth. This feels like the kind of supernatural thriller that thrives on silence, shadow play, and creeping psychological unease, with Adam Scott absorbing the brunt of its slow, suffocating dread. The teaser also flashes a startling image of a strange figure wearing a Kabuki-like bunny (donkey?) mask with wide-open eyes, which alone might be enough to fuel a few sleepless nights. Considering how much we adored McCarthy’s last film Oddity, Hokum has quickly climbed to the top of our most anticipated releases of 2026.
Co-starring Peter Coonan, David Wilmot, and Austin Amelio, and produced by horror heavyweights Roy Lee (Weapons, Barbarian) and Steven Schneider (Paranormal Activity, Insidious), Hokum is slated to arrive in theaters May 1st, courtesy of Neon Films, the studio behind Longlegs and Parasite.
Just remember, the next time you check yourself into an old Irish inn, make sure you double-check that it’s not known for something other than a warm welcome.
🎥 “Greenland 2: Migration” New Trailer: Gerard Butler Leads His Family Across a Shattered Europe in Ric Roman Waugh’s Apocalyptic Survival Sequel With Morena Baccarin — In Theaters January 9th
Gerard Butler returns to protect his family yet again in Greenland 2: Migration, the sequel to director Ric Roman Waugh’s apocalyptic survival thriller, where Earth is struck by a planet-killing comet, forcing humanity to seek refuge beneath the surface.
Released back in January of 2020, Greenland became a modest box office hit, proving that as long as Gerard Butler is battling life-or-death scenarios, audiences are more than willing to strap in and enjoy the ride. Well, Butler is back as John Garrity, and if he thought securing his family on a flight to Greenland, where bunkers had been set up for humanity’s survival, was the hard part, he’s about to learn things are only getting more dangerous.
Greenland 2: Migration drops audiences back in with the Garrity family five years after the comet strike that nearly wiped out the entire planet. John (Gerard Butler), Allison (Morena Baccarin), and their son Nathan (Roger Dale Floyd) are still alive thanks to the Greenland bunkers. But living underground has started to look like a slow-motion death sentence. Crumbling infrastructure, limited resources, and increasingly violent climate events make it clear that the bunkers were never meant to be permanent.
When rumors surface of a possible safe zone in France, untouched by the worst of the comet’s destruction, the family is forced to gamble everything once again. The problem? No one knows if the place even exists, let alone how to reach it. With time running out below ground, John leads his family back into the open world, trading concrete walls for a treacherous trek across a devastated Europe.
This time around, the apocalypse isn’t a single catastrophic event... it’s an ongoing condition. Collapsed cities, unstable landscapes, and lethal storms turn every mile into a test of endurance. Survival isn’t about outrunning disaster anymore; it’s about navigating the wreckage it left behind.
Again working from a script by Chris Sparling, director Ric Roman Waugh returns to escalate the scope while keeping the focus locked on a family on the verge of collapse as the world around them falls apart. The Garritys may have survived the end of the world, but Greenland 2: Migration asks a harsher question: what does it take to keep going when the world refuses to stop ending?
The sequel hits theaters January 9th.
