Trailers Week 58: 16/08/15

Trumbo
A quick film history lesson for you guys. In the post-war period, the USA was in the grip of terror surrounding the threat of communism. And the biggest threat it seemed came out of that pinko, leftist Hollywood. So to show they meant business, the US government sought to weed out the subversive elements of the film industry. One of their targets was witty screenwriter Dalton Trumbo. Already the subject of a documentary of the same name (with one of the funniest movie scenes ever), this biopic looks like it will focus on the comedy in Trumbo's life. Starring Bryan Cranston, Louis CK, Diane Lane, Stephen Root, John Goodman and Helen Mirren.


The Hateful Eight
Quentin's back with another western, this time about a group of bounty hunters who want to cash in and collect the alive part of a bounty. But one of them doesn't want this to go down. A reverse Reservoir Dogs if you will. Starring all of Tarantino's favourites; Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern and Jennifer Jason Leigh.


Ride Along 2
Kevin Hart and Ice Cube return for more of the big man/little man schtick.


Burnt
This looks like Whiplash with food. A prodigy chef aims to open the best restaurant in the world. Starring Bradley Cooper getting his Gordon Ramsey on, Sienna Miller, Daniel Brühl, Omar Sy, Alicia Vikander and Emma Thompson.


Naomi and Ely's No Kiss List
Two friends come up with a cunning way not to fight. Don't kiss boys? This looks like the flimsiest movie ever. One poke and it will all fall apart. Starring Victoria Justice and Pierson Fode. And no, I didn't just make up those two obviously fake sounding names.


Life
Retells the story of the friendship between actor James Dean and photographer Dennis Stock. Starring Dane DeHaan, Robert Pattinson, Joel Edgerton and Ben Kingsley.


Addicted to Fresno
Two sisters attempt to get out of the hell they've found themselves in. Starring Judy Greer, Natasha Lyonne, Fred Armisen, Aubrey Plaza, Molly Shannon, Ron Livingston and Malcolm Barrett.


Stonewall
Disaster director extraordinaire Roland Emmerich (Stargate, Independence Day) goes decidedly small with this fictionalised account of the 1969 Stonewall riots in New York City. Starring Jeremy Irvine, Jonathan Rhys Myers, Joey King and Ron Perlman.
