We’re getting a new trailer for the Netflix film tomorrow, and as a teaser the streamer put out this poster that provides the best look yet at Jacob Elordi as the creature.

It’s set to debut on July 23rd, 2027, just about 20 years after the premiere of the first Simpsons movie in July 2007. I remember seeing the first in theaters, so now I feel really old.

President Donald Trump’s nebulous plan / threat to impose an 100% tariff on movies produced outside of the US never materialized when he trotted it out earlier this year. But Trump has begun banging that drum once again, which could mean Hollywood is in for a new way of production-related headaches.

Lionsgate has been hyping up generative AI ever since it partnered with Runway to build a model trained on the studio’s IP. But TheWrap reports that the companies have been struggling to get the model to generate anything usable because the “Lionsgate catalog isn’t enough to create those kinds of large-scale projects.”

Avatar: Fire and Ash’s villanous Na’vi clan believes that Eywa has forsaken them in the movie’s latest trailer, but all the shots of Pandora’s bioluminescent creatures rising up in revolt make it seem like the planet’s collective consciousness isn’t gone — it has just been waiting to make a move.

The Netflix film has an intriguing premise: “When a single, unattributed missile is launched at the United States, a race begins to determine who is responsible and how to respond.” The trailer is mostly people looking very emotional in control rooms, and yet it’s still pretty intense. It streams on October 24th.

Though all of Oz is atwitter in Wicked: For Good’s final trailer, there’s a (literal and metaphorical) storm on the horizon that’s going to pop off when Glinda (Ariana Grande) and Elphaba (Cynthia Erivo) are reunited.

This interview goes wildly off the rails, starting just before this anecdote:

In addition to a new trailer for OD and a poster for Physint, Kojima Productions also showed off the first look at its animated Death Stranding project, under the working title “Mosquito.” It’s being written by Raised By Wolves creator Aaron Guzikowski, with Hiroshi Miyamoto from ABC Animations as director.
