Trailer Blitz! Wildwood, The Rivals of Amziah King, 72 Hours and More
🎥 Here’s a list of films coming to screens soon!
🎥 “Wildwood” Teaser Trailer: LAIKA Ventures Into a Darkly Magical Hidden Forest in Travis Knight’s Forthcoming Stop-Motion Fantasy — Arriving In Theaters October 23rd
There are places you don’t go. Which, in movie language, usually means somebody is absolutely going there.
And in Wildwood, the upcoming stop-motion fantasy from LAIKA, that forbidden place just happens to be a dangerous hidden forest near Portland, filled with secrets, strange creatures, and a whole winged kingdom waiting beyond the trees.
Directed by LAIKA co-founder Travis Knight (Kubo and the Two Strings, Bumblebee) and based on the bestselling children’s novel of the same name by Colin Meloy and Carson Ellis, Wildwood follows Prue McKeel (voiced by Peyton Elizabeth Lee, of Disney Channel’s Andi Mack), a young girl whose life changes when her infant brother Mac is kidnapped by crows and carried into the mysterious wilderness known as the Impassable Wilderness. Determined to save him, Prue ventures into this hidden world with her classmate Curtis Mehlberg (voiced by Jacob Tremblay), only to discover that the forest is much bigger, stranger, and more politically tangled than either of them expected.
This isn’t just a simple rescue mission. The teaser points toward a sweeping dark-fantasy adventure about love, loss, sacrifice, and the kind of courage it takes to step into the unknown when turning back is no longer an option. Along the way, Prue and Curtis are pulled into the Avian Principality, a winged realm shaped by power struggles, secrets, and a mysterious woman named Alexandra, voiced by Carey Mulligan.
The stacked voice cast also includes Mahershala Ali, Jemaine Clement, Awkwafina, Angela Bassett, Jake Johnson, Charlie Day, Amandla Stenberg, Tom Waits, Maya Erskine, Tantoo Cardinal, Richard E. Grant, Rob Delaney, and more.
Chris Butler, who previously wrote and directed LAIKA’s ParaNorman and Missing Link, wrote the film’s adapted screenplay. And with Knight back in the director’s chair after Kubo and the Two Strings, Wildwood looks to be another handcrafted swing from a studio that has built its reputation on tactile worlds, eerie beauty, offbeat adventures, and frame-by-frame stop-motion magic.
Wildwood is slated to open in theaters October 23rd.
🎥 “The Rivals of Amziah King” Trailer: Matthew McConaughey Rules the Ruthless Honey Game in Andrew Patterson’s Backwoods Oklahoma Crime Thriller — Hitting Theaters August 14th
There are plenty of crime thrillers about drugs, guns, money, and power. But honey? Now that’s one sticky business. And the more you stir the pot, the more likely you are to get stung.
Matthew McConaughey heads deep into rural Oklahoma in The Rivals of Amziah King, the new crime thriller from writer-director Andrew Patterson, the filmmaker behind the critically acclaimed low-budget UFO gem The Vast of Night. And judging by the trailer, Patterson is once again building a strange little world where genre expectations get bent into something more offbeat, more musical, and maybe a whole lot meaner than expected.
McConaughey stars as Amziah King, a charismatic, bluegrass-loving beekeeper who runs the best honey-making operation in town while surrounding himself with a ragtag band of musically gifted misfits. He’s got the charm, the swagger, and the apparatus to turn his beekeeping empire into something big. But in this corner of Oklahoma, the honey trade isn’t exactly sweet... and there are plenty of rivals swarming around, waiting for their time to strike.
Things take a more personal turn when Amziah’s estranged foster daughter Kateri, played by newcomer Angelina LookingGlass, unexpectedly returns after a devastating loss. For Amziah, her arrival offers a rare chance to rebuild a broken bond and maybe turn his honey operation into something resembling a family business.
Of course, this is a crime thriller, which means family healing can only last so long before somebody starts threatening the whole hive. And when the situation turns ugly, Kateri will be forced to find her own inner strength and seek justice within a system built to protect the powerful.
Joining McConaughey and LookingGlass is a strong ensemble that includes Scott Shepherd, Rob Morgan, and Tony Revolori, with the legendary Kurt Russell taking on the role of a powerful bigwig who sets his sights on Amziah’s honey empire and clearly isn’t afraid to get his hands dirty to get what he wants.
Making his highly anticipated follow-up to The Vast of Night, writer-director Andrew Patterson burst onto the scene as a rising indie filmmaker working outside of Hollywood. As someone who formed his own production company in Oklahoma City, producing sports commercials for the local basketball team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, it seems Patterson has moved on to bigger things while keeping his Oklahoma roots firmly intact.
The Rivals of Amziah King is scheduled to open in theaters August 14th.
🎥 “72 Hours” Trailer: Kevin Hart Crashes a Miami Bachelor Party From Hell in Tim Story’s New Netflix Comedy — Premiering July 24th on Netflix
Kevin Hart has spent plenty of time getting roasted, mocked, chased, punched, and generally humiliated for our entertainment. But in the upcoming Netflix comedy 72 Hours, he may have finally found his most dangerous opponent yet: a bachelor party full of twentysomethings! And worse, he kind of asked for it.
Directed by Tim Story, the filmmaker behind Barbershop, Think Like a Man, and Hart’s Ride Along movies, 72 Hours stars Hart as a 40-year-old executive whose career is wobbling just enough to make one very bad idea sound like a good one. After he’s accidentally added to a bachelor party group chat, he decides to crash the weekend and prove he can still hang with the younger crowd. Big mistake. Huge!
The trailer lays out three days of Miami-fueled anarchy, with Hart’s character getting dragged into a weekend packed with yacht parties, party buses, drugs, run-ins with the law, cartel trouble, and enough bad decisions to make anyone over 40 start rethinking every life choice that led them there.
Hart leads the cast alongside SNL cast member Marcello Hernández, Scream’s Mason Gooding, comedian Kam Patterson, and Please Don’t Destroy member Ben Marshall as the younger party crew. The ensemble also includes Severance’s Zach Cherry, Better Call Saul’s Michael Mando, comedian Mike Epps, recent Oscar nominee Teyana Taylor, and legendary actor Andy Garcia.
Working from a script penned by Matt Mider and Kevin Burrows, along with Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz and Hayden Schlossberg, Tim Story directs as well as produces alongside Hart.
So, yes, Kevin Hart, Miami, bachelor parties, cops, drug dealers, and 20-something hijinxs may sound like a random assortment of words. But in 72 Hours, they’re basically the whole itinerary.
72 Hours is slated to debut July 24th only on Netflix.
