Amazon announced its Q2 earnings results today, and at the same time said that Steven Knight (Peaky Blinders, See, Dirty Pretty Things) will be the writer of its first 007 movie, which Denis Villeneuve is already set to direct.

In director Uta Briesewitz’s upcoming thriller American Sweatshop, a social media content moderator (Lili Reinhart) can’t move on from a gruesome murder she’s forced to watch as part of her job. The movie’s trailer makes it look like a smart way to focus on the real horrors people have to endure to keep the internet running, which might make it a surprise hit when it hits theaters on September 19th.

Larry (Miles Teller) needs a few beats to figure out that he’s dead in the new trailer for director David Freyne’s metaphysical romcom Eternity. But once he does, Larry realizes that he has to figure out a way to convince his recently-deceased wife Joan (Elizabeth Olsen) to spend the afterlife with him rather than her first husband Luke (Callum Turner). No firm release date just yet, but the film’s out this November.

We knew the Looney Tunes flick was launching in 2026, but it won’t be until August 28th. The date was announced at San Diego Comic-Con, where a trailer was shown too, but it’s not online yet.

Train Dreams, which was one of my favorite films at the festival this year, is streaming on November 21st, and will also be coming to select theaters this fall. It’s an understated and heartbreaking movie about coping with loss and change, telling a story that spans a single lifetime and is buoyed by some incredible performances from Joel Edgerton and Felicity Jones. You can get a feel for it in the new trailer below.

Oh, I had such high hopes for the Piaggio G1T4-M1N1 (“Gita Mini”). An officially licensed Star Wars bot that follows you around, dodging pedestrians while carrying 20 pounds of cargo and playing The Imperial March on its party speaker? Heck yes. But a single walk to the park showed me that this $2,875 bot doesn’t have enough smarts. (I couldn’t fit all its fails into one video!)

Good Fortune seems familiar on the surface — Keanu Reeves is an angel who tries to show the destitute Aziz Ansari that money isn’t everything — but the formulaic plan also appears to backfire when it turns out money does fix a lot of problems. You can check out the new trailer here, while the movie hits theaters on October 17th.

Well, at least “this weekend,” according to a post on X. You can see the trailer before showings of The Fantastic Four: First Steps.
