Full Trailer for Olmo Schnabel's 'Pet Shop Days' Feat. Willem Dafoe
"Captures a street-level realism." Utopia has unveiled an official trailer for a grainy, experimental indie film creation called Pet Shop Days, marking the feature directorial debut of young filmmaker / producer Olmo Schnabel. Yes he just so happens to be artist / filmmaker Julian Schnabel's son. This premiered at the 2023 Venice Film Festival, and it also played at SXSW & Santa Barbara last year, and is finally being released in NY & LA cinemas this March. For anyone intrigued. Impulsive black sheep Alejandro and pet store worker Jack, enter a whirlwind romance that sends them deep down the rabbit hole of depravity in Manhattan's underworld. It's executive produced & presented by Martin Scorsese, Michel Franco and Jeremy O. Harris, starring Jack Irv & Dario Yazbek Bernal, alongside Willem Dafoe, Peter Sarsgaard, Emmanuelle Seigner, and more. This is sort of an NYC drama, sort of an old school vibe film, and sort of just a strange crime thriller. Seems like it's trying too hard to be something unique when it just looks derivative & boring.

Funny Trailer for 'Giants of La Mancha' Animated Don Quixote Movie
"For La Mancha!!" Dazzler Media in the UK has debuted their official trailer for an animated movie called Giants of La Mancha, made by Argentinian VFX artist Gonzalo Gutierrez as his feature directorial debut. This was already released last year also under the titles Gigantes and/or Storm Crashers, but La Mancha provides a better hook. This trailer is for the UK release but since we never posted anything last year for the US release, why not catch up with it now. The story follows 11-year-old Alfonso, heir to Don Quixote, and his three imaginary rabbits, who are also joined by Pancho and Victoria. With their power of friendship, they save their beloved hometown La Mancha from a huge storm. They dream the impossible dream, overcome their fears, and use their imagination to find the real force behind the storm. So this is a mash-up between Don Quixote and Twisters? 🌪 Wild. Featuring the voices of Facundo Reyes, Marina Blanke, & Julian Janssen. This looks like a really bad direct-to-VHS movie, but that's also what makes it so ridiculously fun. Wait - why is there a giant mechanical spider in this? Did they borrow this from Wild Wild West? Hilarious.

Imagine a world ruled by Werelords – men and women who can shift at will into bears, lions, and serpents. When Drew suddenly discovers he's not only a werewolf but the long-lost heir to the murdered Wolf King's throne, he must use his wits and his newfound powers to survive in a land suddenly full of enemies. Drew's the only one who can unite the kingdom in a massive uprising against its tyrant ruler, Leopold the Lion.

The style in this is a bit clunky, but it still looks like an entertaining & exciting show about taking down a corrupt & evil king.

Mysterious Teaser for 'Mother's Baby' Thriller with Marie Leuenberger
"Georg, something's not right here." The Match Factory has revealed a teaser trailer for a mystery thriller film titled Mother's Baby, made by Austrian filmmaker Johanna Moder. This just premiered at the 2025 Berlin Film Festival a few days ago, and will likely play at more film festivals this the year before hitting theaters. An unsettling film about a new mother. Julia, a successful conductor, and her partner Georg would like to have a child when Dr. Vilfort offers them hope. Julia becomes pregnant at the doctor's private clinic in Vienna. The birth does not go well and the baby is immediately taken away, leaving Julia and Georg in the dark about what has happened. When finally reunited with the child a day later, Julia feels strangely distant. She begins to doubt whether it is really her child... The especially talented Swiss-German actress Marie Leuenberger (from The Divine Order) stars as Julia, with Hans Löw as her husband, Claes Bang as her creepy doctor, and Julia Franz Richter as a creepy midwife. I caught this at Berlinale and it's very good - a captivating little film about motherhood with especially eerie vibes as she tries to figure out what actually happened. Is it really her baby? Or is it something else? Keep an eye out for this - I recommend watching it.

New US Trailer for Miguel Gomes' Film 'Grand Tour' from Cannes 2024
"I'll hunt him down, whatever it takes." This one is for cinephiles only. Mubi has unveiled the official US trailer for a strange film titled Grand Tour, a unique creation from Portuguese director Miguel Gomes, best known for his films Tabu (2012), The Tsugua Diaries (2021), and his Arabian Nights trilogy (2015). The film premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival last year and it won the Best Director award as part of the competition, with stops at many other festivals after. Described as a "breathtaking odyssey of romance, escape, and pursuit." In 1917 Burma, a British civil servant abandons his fiancée — only to find her then relentlessly chasing him across Asia. A playful yet melancholic reimagining of the "pursuit film," blending luminous 16mm B&W cinematography with archival footage. This stars Gonçalo Waddington & Crista Alfaiate. It is a tragicomedy though also "melancholic and courageous." This is definitely not for everyone - an experimental, abstract style of mash-up cinema that only certain people will be into, so tread carefully.

Opioid Crisis Series 'Long Bright River' Trailer with Amanda Seyfried
"You gotta let it go..." "I'll let it go when I find her." Peacock has unveiled an official trailer for a streaming series titled Long Bright River, an opioid crisis thriller set in Philadelphia. It will be streaming in March for anyone interested in watching. Amanda Seyfried stars in this series as a Philadelphia police officer who searches for her sister, an addict who has gone missing. Adapted from Liz Moore's novel of the same name. When a series of murders begins in her own neighborhood, Mickey realizes that her personal history might be related to the case. Showrunner Nikki Toscano adds: "perhaps what drew me in the most was the possibility of what this show could achieve in its ambition to upend stereotypes: of those born into poverty & addiction, of those engaging in sex work, of those who have been written off or marginalized after they've seemingly fallen through the cracks of their community, and finally, of those engaged in police work. In fact, what makes LBR so unique as a series is that it aims to deconstruct the 'police as savior' narrative — a journey pulled through our protagonist, Mickey Fitzpatrick." Also starring Nicholas Pinnock, Ashleigh Cummings, Callum Vinson, and John Doman, with Dash Mihok and Britne Oldford. Have a look.
