Trailers Week 45: 17/05/15

Youth
This trailer is so similar to that of the fantastic Italian film The Great Beauty, that I thought the film was an American remake of it. This trailer even has the same piece of music that is in the former, which can viewed here. But upon discovering that Youth is the follow up film from director Paolo Sorrentino, I immediately understood the connection. Starring Michael Caine, Paul Dano, Jane Fonda, Rachel Weisz and Harvey Keitel.


Crimson Peak
Director Guillermo Del Toro returns to the horror genre with this 19th century haunted house movie. It has all the trademarks of a Del Toro horror; ghouls, shadowy characters and amazingly unique set design. Starring Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Jessica Chastain and Charlie Hunnam.



The Intern
From writer & director Nancy Meyers comes this not particularly inspiring comedy. This seems like it could go either way, but for now I'll pass off judgement. It has a surprisingly strong cast, Robert De Niro, Anne Hathaway, Rene Russo and...uh....Snoop Dogg apparently?



Manglehorn
Al Pacino breaks away from his typecast mould in Manglehorn where he seems to be playing a Southern family man? Directed by David Gordon Green and starring Al Pacino, Holly Hunter and Chris Messina



American Heist
This crime feature/heist film from director Sarik Andreasyan looks very action packed but doesn't seem to have much of a story. Perhaps Adrien Brody really needs a pay-check. Starring Hayden Christensen, Adrien Brody, Jordana Brewster and Akon.


Jem and the Holograms
This film seems to be inspired by Justin Bieber and how he got picked up by a record label through youtube videos. However the characters in this seem a little more masculine than Justin. Based on an 80s animated series, Jem and the Holograms is directed by Jon M. Chu and stars Juliette Lewis, Molly Ringwald and Aubrey Peeples.


Unexpected
Cobie Smulders stars as a pregnant high-school teacher who develops a friendship with one of her students, who also happens to be pregnant. Directed by Kris Swanberg and starring Cobie Smulders, Anders Holm, Gail Bean and Elizabeth McGovern.
