New Jurassic World 2 Teaser Unleashes Insane Dinosaur Footage

[ad_1]

A new teaser for Jurassic World 2 has arrived online in advance of a new, full-length trailer to be released on Wednesday. Since the sequel arrives in theaters on June 22, it's highly likely that this will be the final full trailer that we get. Though, there are sure to be quite a few TV spots once the release date gets closer. For now, we have a new 30-second teaser, that packs an awful lot into a short window and really emphasizes the horror elements of Fallen Kingdom.

This brief teaser opens up with the shot of Owen (Chris Pratt) in the truck with the T-rex, which doesn't go well. There are a few new shots of the hybrid Indoraptor in here as well, which looks to be formidable and terrifying. Easily the coolest shot is of the Mosasaurus from the first Jurassic World. This time, he's swimming out in the open ocean with a bunch of surfers, which is reminiscent of a shot from Blake Lively's shark flick The Shallows, only with a much bigger threat than a shark. Lastly, we get Jeff Goldblum as Ian Malcolm riffing on John Hammond's famous line, with Malcolm saying, "Welcome to Jurassic World."

The big takeaway here is that clearly, dinosaurs are going to make their way to the mainland in a way that will be very threatening to human life. While we know Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom is going to take us back to Isla Nublar, a volcanic eruption is going to force the dinosaurs off of the island. According to Colin Trevorrow, who directed the first movie and co-wrote this installment, the volcanic eruption takes place within the first hour of the movie. So that won't be the climax. It's also been promised that this movie won't just feature dinosaurs chasing people around on an island. That seems to be true, as it appears they're going to be chasing people around all over the place.

J.A. Bayona (A Monster Calls) took over directing duties for this installment. It's been said that Jurassic World 2 will be darker than its predecessor and this brief teaser makes that inescapably clear. While this won't be the first time we've seen dinosaurs on the mainland, as the climax of The Lost World: Jurassic Park brought a T-rex to San Diego, this looks to be doing it on a much more grand scale. Are they going to go full-on Planet of the Apes, but with dinosaurs?

Jurassic World revived the Jurassic Park franchise, which had been dormant for 14 years up to that point. The movie grossed $1.67 billion worldwide, becoming one of the highest-grossing releases ever. Universal appears confident that the sequel will do big business as well, as they've already announced Jurassic World 3 for June of 2021, with Colin Trevorrow returning to direct. While you wait for the full trailer to arrive on Wednesday, be sure to check out the new Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom teaser, courtesy of Universal Pictures, for yourself below.

Insane Bleeding Steel Trailer Has Jackie Chan Fighting a Cyborg

[ad_1]

The trailer for Bleeding Steel has arrived and this should firmly place it on everyone's most-anticipated summer 2018 movies list. The studio describes it as an "action-packed drama reminiscent of '80s techno-sci-fi thrillers." In other words, the movies that had the best cover art at Blockbuster back in the day. If you aren't sold already just based on that alone, and the knowledge that a still-kicking-ass Jackie Chan, who is 64-years-old, is in it doing what he does best, then the ridiculous and awesome footage in the trailer should do the trick.

This thing wastes absolutely no time in getting going, as there is a huge explosion and a cyborg battle right away. Or, as the trailer explains, the world's first "super-bio warrior." The trailer claims that this warrior is immortal, but that doesn't stop Jackie Chan from doing what he does best. Lots of car chases, lots of explosions, lots of henchmen getting beat up by a man who is nearly at retirement age and, for some reason, a huge fight on top of the Sydney Opera House in Australia. What more could you want? Also, not for nothing, but that super-bio warrior looks quite a bit like Darth Vader without his helmet on.

In Bleeding Steel, Jackie Chan stars as Lin, a police inspector in modern Hong Kong. While tracking down a deranged, mecha-enhanced villain, Lin discovers that a geneticist's lost bio-chemical invention has been surgically implanted into his missing daughter. With the help of a young hacker, Lin connects the dots between the device that haunts his daughter, his enemy's sinister army, and a strange cultural phenomenon called "Bleeding Steel."

Not to put a damper on anyone's mood, but the movie was released in several international markets last year, with Lionsgate picking up the domestic release rights. Not that it's a ton to go on, but there are currently 7 reviews for the movie on Rotten Tomatoes, only two of which are positive. But hey, Bleeding Steel doesn't exactly seem like the kind of movie that was made to win over Oscar voters. Not only that, but Jackie Chan has been doing some of his most interesting work in his later years in movies like last year's underrated The Foreigner. It's not every day we get to see a martial arts legend appear in a bombastic sci-fi thriller such as this. If nothing else, this gives us something to watch until Chan and Chris Tucker actually get the lead out and make Rush Hour 4.

The movie comes from director Leo Zhang and stars Callan Mulvey, Tess Haubrich, Na-Na OuYang, Damien Garvey and Show Lo. Lionsgate Premiere is releasing the sci-fi flick on July 6 in select theaters and VOD platforms. In addition to the trailer, we also have the new poster, which you can also check out.

Happytime Murders Red Band Trailer Is Insane R-Rated Muppet Madness

[ad_1]

The Happytime Murders trailer is here. This thing is very much red band and totally NSFW. More so than anything you're likely to see for a wide release movie. You've been warned. Shockingly, this comes from the mind of Brian Henson, son of Jim Henson, but this is not in any way what you might expect from a name like that. This trailer proudly boasts that the same guy who directed Muppet Christmas Carol, Muppet Treasure Island and Muppets Tonight is responsible for this debauchery. And you're not ready for the debauchery in store.

This first footage for The Happytime Murders is in no way messing around. Puppets getting blown to pieces, puppet prostitutes, who happen to use the term "rotten cotton," which has disgusting but kind of hilarious implications. This thing is so very NSFW that it's hard to believe it even got made. Let alone from the son of the guy who created The Muppets. What a time to be alive. Perhaps the icing in the cake is getting to see someone snort ecstasy, namely Melissa McCarthy, through a piece of licorice. The last shot in the trailer is particularly surprising for several reasons.

No Sesame. All Street. The Happytime Murders is a filthy comedy set in the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles where puppets and humans coexist. Two clashing detectives with a shared secret, one human (Melissa McCarthy) and one puppet, are forced to work together again to solve the brutal murders of the former cast of a beloved classic puppet television show. In addition to McCarthy, who looks like she's having a ton of fun here, the movie also stars Maya Rudolph, Joel McHale, Leslie David Baker, and Elizabeth Banks. But this feels like the kind of movie that will have room for some cameos.

There is definitely a bit of a Who Framed Roger Rabbit? vibe going on here. Only if that movie were extremely R-rated. Despite all of the low-brow humor in here, taking the guy who probably formed a lot of people's childhoods with his work on The Muppets and having him take puppets, put them in a world with humans and make it into a seedy crime drama is kind of ingenious. If they can let some of the cleverness shine through in the midst of all the sex, drugs and language, this could be something pretty great.

The screenplay for this insanity comes from Todd Berger, with a story he and Brian Henson cooked up. The movie is set to arrive in theaters on August 17, so we can all close out the summer movie season in style. This feels like a movie that is either going to be surprisingly great, or amazingly terrible. Either way, it feels like the kind of thing you're going to have to see to believe. Be sure to check out the first trailer for The Happytime Murders below.
