New Interstellar TV spot shows off brand new footage: watch now





A brand new TV spot has arrived online for Interstellar, boasting a whole host of brand new footage from Christopher Nolan’s latest film.



The new promo was made for Australian TV and clocks in at just under a minute, with much of that runtime showing off new content from the space-centric saga.



Cue more grit and determination from Matthew McConaughey’s astronaut, further heartbreak as he leaves his children, and a massive bump of adrenaline courtesy of Hans Zimmer’s score.



Take a look at the new spot, below…







To be honest, Warner could release a minute-long title card for this one and we’d still be excited, but this latest footage genuinely does look breathtaking, as McConaughey and chums head for distant planets in order to save the Earth.



Directed by Nolan and co-starring Anne Hathaway, Casey Affleck and Jessica Chastain, Interstellar will open in the UK on 7 November 2014.

Crouching Tiger sequel will be simultaneously released in IMAX and on Netflix





The Weinstein Company has struck a deal to simultaneously release martial arts sequel, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon: The Green Legend, on both Netflix and IMAX theatres.


The film is being billed as Netflix’s “first original movie” and will tell a story of “lost love, young love, a legendary sword and one last opportunity at redemption.”



Original star Michelle Yeoh will be returning for round two, alongside Donnie Yen and Harry Shum Jr, while renowned martial arts choreographer Yuen Wo-Ping will be behind the camera.



“The moviegoing experience is evolving quickly and profoundly, and Netflix is unquestionably at the forefront of that movement,” said Harvey Weinstein.



“We are tremendously excited to be continuing our great relationship with Netflix and bringing to fans all over the world the latest chapter in this amazing and intriguing story.”



Principle photography is currently underway in New Zealand, with the film set to premiere on Netflix and in selected global IMAX theatres on 28 August 2015.

Joaquin Phoenix and Benicio del Toro star in first Inherent Vice trailer: watch now





The first trailer has arrived online for Inherent Vice, Paul Thomas Anderson’s adaptation of the novel by Thomas Pynchon and the first time one of his books has been brought to the big screen.



The new film stars Joaquin Phoenix as Doc Sportello, a bedraggled private investigator who finds himself mixing business with pleasure when his latest case comes courtesy of his ex-girlfriend.



She wants him to look into her current billionaire boyfriend, who appears to have been kidnapped, but the investigation soon leads our hero into a whole heap of trouble.



Take a look at the new trailer, below…





There’s a great sense of scuzzy, knockabout charm on show here, particularly in Phoenix’s shambling performance, while the supporting cast is second to none. Put simply, we can’t wait.



Directed by Anderson and co-starring Benicio del Toro, Josh Brolin, Reese Witherspoon and many more, Inherent Vice will open in the UK on 30 January 2015.

William Shatner says he has been approached by J.J. Abrams about Star Trek 3





William Shatner has shed more light on the rumours of a potential appearance in Star Trek 3, by revealing J.J. Abrams has been in touch to sound him out.



According to Shatner, Abrams called him recently, saying, “I’m calling because the director of Star Trek, the next movie, has had an idea where you might be involved, so I’m calling to find out whether you would be interested.”



Unsurprisingly, Abrams had asked Shatner that he keep their discussion private, but as far as the actor is concerned, the rumour mill had pretty much got to the bottom of things anyway.



“It’s all over the internet that the director had held an interview and said they want Shatner and Nimoy to be in the next movie," he said. "I’ll bet you J.J.’s frothing at the mouth at this point. So the news is out that they have an idea that they want Leonard and myself…”



We’re not sure how much that will appease Abrams, but in any case, Shatner is at least keen on the idea in theory…



“I would love to do it,” he continued. “But how do you get me fifty years later into the movie? I mean how do you rationalise it? I know it’s science fiction, but even I couldn’t come up with an idea.”



Over to you, Mr. Orci… Star Trek 3 is expected to arrive in 2016, with a release date yet to be confirmed.
