This year, film fans will be treated to what will likely be the biggest movies of all time: Avengers: Endgame, and Episode IX. So let’s try to hype another film that doesn’t have a built-in audience, shall we? How about this one? Ang Lee, the visionary director of Life of Pi (we just adore that film) has teamed with Will Smith to give us one helluva sci-fi adventure. Have a look at the first trailer featuring, aside from a whole lot of explosions, a de-aged Smith. Wow. We’re excited! Gemini Man is an innovative action-thriller starring Will Smith as Henry Brogan, an elite assassin, who is suddenly targeted and pursued…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Once Upon A Deadpool’
Calling all you Deadpool fans! If you love the “Merc with a Mouth,” then you can file his latest outing under C, for “crazy enough to work,” or, better DP for “definitely plausible.” In the world of Deadpool, just like the ’80s, anything goes. So feast your eyes on the teaser trailer for Once Upon A Deadpool which takes all the hard-R elements out of this years’ Deadpool 2, and chops up the story a la the 1987 bedtime-story classic The Princess Bride, replete with an adult Fred Savage! Yep, like we said, crazy enough to work. Enjoy!! Once Upon A Deadpool opens in theaters for a limited engagement this holiday…

Sweet (Red Band) Trailer…’The Predator’
In the 31 years since Since John McTiernan and Ah-nuld kicked-off the Predator universe, the series has had some severely diminishing returns. Usually the more you see of something, the less impact is has. And weak story has a lot to do with it. As such, the Predator brand needs a real good jump start that is both fresh, exciting, and free of well-worn gimmicks. So while the news of re-shoots, a pushed back release date, and a ho-hum first trailer haven’t done much to get people excited, we’re hopeful. Why? The fact that Shane Black is attached to this sequel (of sorts) has us excited. After all, there isn’t…

Sweet Trailer…Ethan Hawke’s ‘Blaze’
We’re always eager and excited to see films from Texas born-and-bred talents. One such individual is Austin native, Ethan Hawke. His new movie, Blaze, premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival where newcomer Ben Dickey’s performance won him the Special Jury Award for Achievement in Acting. Dickey stars as Blaze Foley, the unsung songwriting legend of the Texas outlaw music movement that spawned from the likes of Merle Haggard and Willie Nelson. The film weaves together three different periods of time, braiding re-imagined versions of Blaze’s past, present, and future which explore his love affair with Sybil Rosen; his last, dark night on earth; and the impact of his songs and…

Sweet Trailer…’CREED II’
To use some boxing vernacular, when Ryan Coogler‘s Creed came out in 2015, it hit me a left hook (the film and the score). Earlier this week, we got our first look at the sequel to this new Rocky-based franchise. To be honest, this does comes as a bit of a surprise. Not just because Creed is a tough act to follow, but going for the emotional connection to previous Rocky films (read: Drago!), seems like the story is already backtracking when it should be moving forward. You can thank Sylvester Stallone who returns in front of the camera, and behind it with a writing credit. It will feel a little…

Sweet Trailer…’Killing Gunther’
These days, we don’t really post trailers. But once in a while, something drops that is too good to pass up. Case in point, the hilarious-looking preview for the upcoming action comedy, Killing Gunther, starring former Mr. Universe, The Governator himself, the one and only Ah-nuld. Much in the same way Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon was both a spoof and heartfelt homage to a beloved genre (highly recommend btw), this lets Arnie have a lot of fun doing what he does best: blowing things up and leaving a wake of debris, bodies and killer taglines. If you’re a fan of ’80s cinema (and since we’ll never…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Blade Runner 2049′
As a movie related website, we’ve been on the web since early 2009. But we never would have thought that we would ever report on a sequel to the 1982 classic, Blade Runner. Now while we’ve never been as taken by Sir Ridley Scott’s seminal masterpiece as the rest of the world has, over time, I’ve personally come to appreciate its importance and the popularity behind it. So while we are many months out from its release, behold, the first trailer, err, “announcement” for Blade Runner 2049. It’s mostly filled with sandy hues and a lot of text, but it still looks so very noir. Thirty years after the events…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…’Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets’
We don’t post many trailers as of late, mostly because there are plenty of movie-themed outlets that showcase the latest and greatest hitting cinemas. But when something comes along that really resonates with us, we are obliged to post it. Case in point. Luc Besson (The Fifth Element, Leon) is one of our all-time favorite filmmakers, and any time he has a film set to come out, to us, it’s like a new Star Wars is being released. So, in case you somehow missed this everywhere else on the web, enjoy the first teaser for Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets. Rooted in the classic graphic novel series,…

Sweet Trailer…’Arrival’
Once in a while we get a sci-fi film, or any genre flick for that matter, that takes a worn idea and turns it on its side. Well, Denis Villeneuve (director Sicario, Prisoners) has literally turned sci-fi on its side (the ships anyway) in this awesome trailer for his upcoming feature. Wait, didn’t Ridley Scott already do that in the beginning of Prometheus? Eh, doesn’t matter. This looks awesome, so enjoy the new official movie trailer for Arrival. When mysterious spacecrafts touch down across the globe, an elite team – lead by expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) – is brought together to investigate. As mankind teeters on the verge of…

Sweet Trailer…’A Monster Calls’
Ok, world. If you haven’t seen the trailer for A Monster Calls, stop what you’re doing right now and check this out! The video that follows is a stellar, stunning, and highly intriguing film starring Liam Neeson…don’t worry, he’s not rescuing his daughter in this one. Not even close. This film, from J.A. Bayona (The Impossible), looks so good you’ll wish this was playing in theaters starting tomorrow. But let’s clear this up right now. This is not The BFG, this is not Groot, it’s not even The Iron Giant, or even everyone’s favorite Ent, Treebeard. This highly original film (that takes place in the young boy’s head, obviously) features high caliber…

Sweet Trailer…’Kubo and the Two Strings’
We at GST are ever the fan of Laika‘s animated films. If you’ve seen ParaNorman and Boxtrolls you know they have such a distinct look – one as odd as it is captivating. In a world where CG has dominated so much of the entertainment world, it’s amazing to see the work that this company still does with practical tools, models, and effects. They share a lot in common with digital animators (this is stop-frame after all) but the tangible element, gritty and wonky though it may be, adds so much depth and character to each Laika feature. If you haven’t been keeping up with Kubo, enjoy this amazing looking trailer.…

Sweet Trailer…’Star Trek Beyond’
The Summer season is heating up, and while Captain America’s third installment is winning over film fans, a little known sci-fi property is warming up for its third at bat. That’s right, Justin Lin (of Fast & Furious fame) took the helm of the Enterprise (while J.J. Abrams was hard at work at an equally obscure science fiction property), and this looks great! Star Trek Into Darkness left many fans cold, so if this trailer is any indication of what Lin can bring to the table, then sign us up for Star Trek Beyond. Engage! “Star Trek Beyond,” the highly anticipated next installment in the globally popular Star Trek franchise,…
