Harrison Ford Shines In “Indiana Jones And The Dial Of Destiny” Trailer: Watch

by

The Super Bowl was quite the hub of trailer releases this year, and this is no exception. A closer look at Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny aired during the program. The exciting new film will include flashbacks of a young Harrison Ford as the character. It will also include flashbacks with Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Killing Eve) playing Jones’ goddaughter Helena. This addition to the Indiana Jones saga takes place during the United States-Soviet Space race of 1969. Indiana Jones and Helena go up against the Nazis for their last adventure.

The franchise will add Mads Mikkelsen and Boyd Holbrook to the cast. They will play the film’s villains, Jürgen Voller and Klaber, respectively. Additional new cast members include Antonio Banderas, Shaunette René Wilson, and Toby Jones. Plus, John Rhys-Davies will bring back the character of Sallah from the 1989 film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade. The first trailer for the fifth installment of the franchise was an action-packed showcase of the archaeologist’s highly-anticipated return to the big screen. The Super Bowl’s addition to the film’s promotion was a continuation of the celebration.

Indiana Jones 5 Trailer: Watch

Indiana Jones 5 is coming a whopping 15 years after the fourth film in the series. Ford confirmed to audiences of the franchise that it will be his final appearance of the iconic character. He told Variety‘s Marc Malkin last month at the premiere of his new Apple TV+ series, Shrinking, “I always wanted to do it. I wanted to do the rest of the story to see the end of his career.” The film’s musical composer also announced that this feature would be his last, however, he more recently said that he will not be retiring any time soon. The 91-year-old told Variety’s Jon Burlingame in January, “I’ll stick around for a while. I can’t retire from music. A day without music is a mistake.”

James Mangold is the writer and director of the film. He also directed Logan (2017) and Ford vs. Ferrari (2019). The creators of the series, George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, directed the franchise’s previous films. Fans do not need to worry, as they are both listed executive producers for Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. The movie is scheduled for release in theaters on June 30, 2023.

Shawn Mendes, Javier Bardem, And Scoot McNairy All Star In The Singing Crocodile Movie That You Did Not See Coming

by

Have you ever watched the critically-acclaimed, award-winning classic Paddington and thought “maybe this could work if it was set in NYC, and he was a crocodile who can sing in the same style as Canadian pop singer Shawn Mendes?” Maybe not, but Sony Pictures took that thought and ran with it! Of course, it’s actually based on a children’s book, but the story is the same. Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile is an upcoming movie that will likely change the face of cinema for years to come, just like Cats and Minions.

The movie stars Shawn Mendes as the voice of the croc who befriends a child who just wants to show the world how great a singing crocodile can be, naturally. Mendes even told People that he “relates” to the story, which is really telling. And he wears a cute scarf!

It gets better: the movie stars Constance Wu, Javier Bardem, and Scoot McNairy, all of whom look like they are taking the role very seriously. McNairy is known for his serious, dark roles, in movies like Argo and 12 Years A Slave. Bardem is also one to take on more gritty roles, like No Country For Old Men and Mother! It is nice to see them having fun with a crocodile that sings. Here is the official synopsis:

When the Primm family (Constance Wu, Scoot McNairy, Winslow Fegley) moves to New York City, their young son Josh struggles to adapt to his new school and new friends. All of that changes when he discovers Lyle – a singing crocodile (Shawn Mendes) who loves baths, caviar and great music-living in the attic of his new home. The two become fast friends, but when Lyle’s existence is threatened by evil neighbor Mr. Grumps (Brett Gelman), the Primm’s must band together with Lyle’s charismatic owner, Hector P. Valenti (Javier Bardem), to show the world that family can come from the most unexpected places and there’s nothing wrong with a big singing crocodile with an even bigger personality.

Even though the premise is silly, that’s probably what people said about Paddington back in the day. And look at where he is now! The movie will be released in theaters (yes–it’s getting a wide release, not straight to streaming) on October 7th.

Trailer: Kendrick Lamar Travels to Ghana in Spotify Documentary

From Compton to Ghana.

Fresh off the release of his new album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, Kendrick Lamar traveled to Accra, Ghana for the first time. His journey was documented as part of a mini-documentary for Spotify.

In the first 15-second trailer, he meets young fans and hits the beach. He was having such a good time that he forgot what day it was.

“I couldn’t even tell you what day it is,” says Kendrick, whose song “We Cry Together” soundtracks the clip. “I’m just being in the moment. This life shit, it’s all about an experience. And everybody got they own different experience.”

The documentary debuts sometime next week. Kendrick will also perform as part of Spotify’s Cannes Lions Festival programming on June 20.

Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers debuted at No. 1 upon its release last month. Kendrick shot a short film for one of the standout tracks, “We Cry Together” with Taylour Paige, which is playing for a limited time at the Laemmle Theatre in L.A.

Starting July 19, he will bring his live show across the globe on “The Big Steppers Tour,” which kicks off in Oklahoma City.
