"I'm friends with boys now." Vertigo Releasing has unveiled their first official trailer for the film Extra Geography, an indie comedy from the UK about two best friends at a boarding school. This intiailly premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival back in January, and recently played at the Melbourne & Edinburgh Film Festivals. Set in an English boarding school, Extra Geography follows two teenage girls (Flic and Minna) as they grapple with all the challenges of girlhood: friendship, boys, studies, growing up and their summer project, "to fall in love". Which causes a rift in their friendship once things start to heat up. This stars Marni Duggan, Galaxie Clear, Alice Englert, and Aoife Riddell. Sundance adds: "Extra Geography offers a bittersweet lesson in unsinkable friendship: in life, love, and Shakespeare, someone always gets upstaged." This is a very quirky, distinct indie creation about female friendship and the prickly sides of it – especially when romance gets involved. With comparisons to Lady Bird and Frances Ha from reviews. An indie discovery from Sundance worthy of finding an audience beyond the fest. Take a look. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/dennis-quaid-jean-reno-sky-katz-in-the-florist-action-movie-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/dennis-quaid-jean-reno-sky-katz-in-the-florist-action-movie-trailer/#disqus_thread Tue, 01 Sep 2026 19:35:24 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=805266 "As long as she's next to you, I can't do anything!" Saban Films revealed the official trailer for The Florist, an action thriller movie heading direct to VOD in the US this fall. Yet another of these instantly forgettable, dime-a-dozen junk action movies. The latest film from the director of London Has Fallen back in 2015. The Florist is a pulse-pounding, suspense-driven action thriller that combines explosive, tactical set pieces with a gripping story of redemption, survival, and the deadly lengths one man will go to protect the innocent. A quiet horticulturalist harboring a secret life as a lethal assassin finds his true identity jeopardized when he forms an unlikely friendship with a witness of police corruption. This stars Dennis Quaid as Carl, Jean Reno as his assassin buddy Charlie, with Sky Katz, Leonidas Gulaptis, and Anna Schafer. Not to be confused with JCVD's action movie The Gardener, with a similar premise about an assassin now taking care of flowers. I wish this looked any good! It's definitely something they used to release direct-to-TV in the 90s. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/grandmas-talking-clock-in-horror-the-cuckoo-clock-official-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/grandmas-talking-clock-in-horror-the-cuckoo-clock-official-trailer/#disqus_thread Tue, 01 Sep 2026 17:49:14 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=805236 "You have to stop her!" Compassionate Disaster Films has revealed their official trailer for an indie horror film titled The Cuckoo Clock, marking the feature debut of filmmaker Lisa Jay. This is debuting in limited theaters this October - just in time for the horror season to kick off. A young woman named Penny falls in love with the home health care nurse sent to care for her elderly Grandmother with dementia. When the nurse mysteriously disappears, Grandma’s cuckoo clock speaks to her with a warning that Grandma might be responsible. "The granddaughter, Penny, starts on seemingly solid ground... The eventual disappearance of the nurse, Megan, is the catalyst for her mental disintegration. But maybe not. Perhaps there's something deeper - an earlier event that triggered her. Hints of whatever the problem may be emerge in a hallucinatory manner." Starring Hana Hahn, MaKenna DeCaro, and Laura Drake. The Cuckoo Clock film conveys a dream logic and symbolism to put the viewer in Penny's mind, her point of view. Very creepy clock horror – even a giant freaky cuckoo bird makes an appearance in the trailer. A movie for horror fans to watch out for. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/another-exciting-trailer-2-for-street-fighter-action-movie-from-japan/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/another-exciting-trailer-2-for-street-fighter-action-movie-from-japan/#disqus_thread Tue, 01 Sep 2026 16:45:38 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=805206 "This tournament isn't what you think it is...

The fights actually look like they will be good! Along with the new trailer, they've also debuted a "playable" arcade trailer (only on YT) to join in on the action and play Street Fighter while watching all the footage. Super cool.

IFC revealed the official trailer for the indie film titled Mouse, an acclaimed grief drama made by the filmmakers Kelly O'Sullivan & Alex Thompson as their follow-up to the indie surprise Ghostlight (also a good film). Mouse premiered at the 2026 Berlin Film Festival and also stopped by the Sydney, Melbourne, New Zealand, Deauville, and Vancouver Film Fests. Set in 2002, best friends Minnie & Callie's relationship is upended on the eve of senior year. After a tragedy, Minnie struggles to form her own identity. Facing the challenges of establishing herself as the school year begins, she starts to pull away from her other friends and create a complicated relationship with Helen – Callie's mother struggling with the situation in her own ways. The film stars Sophie Okonedo as Helen, Katherine Mallen Kupferer as Minnie, Chloe Coleman as Callie, with Iman Vellani, David Hyde Pierce, and Tara Mallen as Minnie's mom Barbara – one of my favorite performances in the whole film. I'm proud to be quoted in this trailer from my Berlinale review: "Mouse features pure, distinct filmmaking that feels entirely of its own.

Netflix has revealed their first official teaser trailer for the highly acclaimed film La Bola Negra, one of the biggest surprise hits from the 2026 Cannes Film Festival. This is opening in Spain later this month and hits US theaters starting in November – Netflix is kicking off their marketing now with this teaser & posters below before it plays at the Toronto Film Festival next in a few weeks. The title La Bola Negra means The Black Ball in English, a reference to an actual event and story that the film is inspired by (and tells within the story in the film as well). The plot is set across the years 1932, 1937 and 2017 in Spain, exploring the inter-connected lives of three gay men throughout Spanish history. It also explores what it means to be gay throughout different eras, focusing on "three existences" that are connected with themes of sexuality, desire, pain, and inheritance. Starring Guitarricadelafuente as Sebastián, Carlos González as Alberto, Miguel Bernardeau as Rafael, Milo Quifes, Lola Dueñas, plus appearances by Penélope Cruz and Glenn Close (who are both fabulous in the film). This powerful queer drama is deeply connected to the Spanish Civil War and the pain the nation still feels dealing with the horrible things that happened during that time. They're positioning the movie to be a big theatrical hit – enjoy the stunning footage below. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/vincent-lindon-tahar-rahim-in-les-miserables-official-french-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/vincent-lindon-tahar-rahim-in-les-miserables-official-french-trailer/#disqus_thread Tue, 01 Sep 2026 13:38:32 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=805140 Vive la Révolution!

This premiered at the 2026 Sundance Film Festival to plenty of acclaim – then stopped by tons of other fests including CPH:DOX, Sarasota, Dallas, San Francisco, Sheffield, Nantucket, Melbourne. Filmed over the course of ten years, One in a Million follows Israa from childhood to adulthood on an extraordinary journey from Syria to Germany — and back again. Co-directed by Itab Azzam and Jack MacInnes, the film bears witness to the remarkable trust between filmmakers and family, following Israa and her loved ones across borders, cultures and shifting circumstances. An intimate and nuanced coming-of-age story, One in a Million illuminates the complexities of the refugee experience while asking a universal question: what does it truly mean to call a place home? We first meet her at age 11 as she and her family are preparing to cross the sea in a dinghy, risking everything in search of safety & a better life in Europe. What unfolds is a deeply personal chronicle of surviving war, exile and heartbreak.

After premiering Monica at the festival back in 2022, he's returning once again with his latest film - in both English and Italian. The film is a love story where the boundaries between presence and absence, care and dependence, desire and control blur until they dissolve... The romance is between Luca Marinelli as Leo and Alicia Vikander as Anne, and the cast includes Susan Sarandon (whose "voice echoes across time, carrying to the surface what endures"). This project is based on an old Bernardo Bertolucci screenplay of the same name, however updated through Pallaoro's lens to tell a heartfelt story about emotional dependency. Andrea took the screenplay as a point of departure, finding in it themes that have long originated his own cinema and reshaping them to create this new film. The Echo Chamber is premiering in the competition in Venice next week before opening in Italian cinemas right after. Stay tuned for first reviews + more updates. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-trailer-for-zack-snyders-the-last-photograph-tiff/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/first-trailer-for-zack-snyders-the-last-photograph-tiff/#disqus_thread Mon, 31 Aug 2026 14:40:12 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=804994 "I have stretched my aching body across the world." Here we go! The Toronto Film Festival has announced a surprise last-minute addition to the line-up this year: Zack Snyder's new film The Last Photograph. There were rumors earlier in the year that this might show up in Cannes, but it looks like TIFF is the place for it. After making his two Rebel Moon movies, Snyder went out and shot this film on the down low. It was filmed across Iceland, Colombia, and Los Angeles throughout 2025 – with Snyder himself working as the cinematographer. An ex-DEA agent searches South American mountains for his murdered diplomat siblings' children, aided by a junkie photographer who is the only one who saw the killers, confronting past demons as reality blurs in remote wilderness. "Their journey into the unknown takes them further and further away from civilization, bringing into question everything they believe..." Starring Stuart Martin & Fra Fee as Ethan & Joe, with Costanza Andrade, Marlon Moreno, Quique Mendoza, Pedro Calvo-Anca, Ed Hughes, Mia Calvo, Gustavo Angarita, Jackie Kay, José Restrepo.

It's chaos out there!" Vertical has unveiled the main official trailer for the indie film Come With Me, a thriller similar to Falling Down about man losing his grip when everyone turns against him. We posted the first teaser for this in April when it was premiering at a film festival. It's now ready to hit limited theaters starting this September. "The film is both topical and polarizing—a true independent project brought to life through diligence, collaboration, and Aaron Harvey’s distinct vision." After more problems at his job and a traumatic home invasion event that still haunts him, a working-class man named Simon finds catharsis in his right to bear arms. Influenced by a rhetoric-spewing radio host, he soon finds himself caught between following the status-quo or doing what's right – even if the "right" thing, isn't... Filmed on location in Mississippi. Simon begins a deadly descent into his own mind, trying to rectify the perceived wrongs and cleanse the injustice he starts to see in the world around him. Theo Rossi stars as Simon, featuring Ron Perlman as the radio host, along with Kate French, Ronnie Gene Blevins, Michael Sirow, Chris Mullinax. "Come With Me is both a film for now and a cautionary tale for the future." This isn't about our future anymore – it's about right now in America!

With a rival attempting to sabotage him, Adam and best friend Benny plot wild schemes to drum up the cash, leading to a high-stakes bowling showdown. As usual in bowling films. Starring Meegwun Fairbrother as Adam, Victoria Gwendoline (aka Victoria Turko) as Benny, with Gabriel Daniels, Stephanie Sy, Star Slade, Carolina Campos, & Curtis Howson.

The original Spanish title of the film is Hombre al agua (or Man Overboard) and it's Bernal's first film he has directed since making Chicuarotes in 2019 (which had really bad reviews). This time he's got another original story to tell about a wealthy man controlling manipulating people's lives. "What would you do if your perfect life turned out to be a trap?" Overboard follows Camilo, a lifeguard who arrives in Mexico believing he's found a new opportunity, only to discover that it's all part of a much darker plan. After rescuing a Mexican business plan and marrying his daughter, he discover it is all a trap to use him. "A film by Gael García Bernal that blends humor, suspense, and a story you won't want to miss."

Freestyle Digital Media has debuted their official trailer for an indie survival thriller film titled After Impact, made by filmmaker Michiel Rensen who also stars in the lead role. Another post-apocalyptic survival thriller that of course reminds me of Deep Impact, also featuring a similar title, as well as last year's Greenland 2: Migration. As society begins to unravel, Ethan grapples with personal betrayal, overwhelming loneliness, and the growing fear that survival may come at the cost of his humanity. Seeking refuge in his family's bunker, Ethan endures the harsh aftermath of the impact, wrestling with physical injury and emotional despair. When a faint voice crackles over his radio, Ethan discovers he is not as alone as he believed. Starring Michiel Rensen, Maxie Ouyang, Will Clague, Riki Antonievich, Lee-Ann Dirks. After Impact is a haunting sci-fi thriller about isolation, endurance, and the fragile hope that someone else is still out there. This looks solid for an indie creation made entirely by just a few people. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/sound-off-coyote-vs-acme-is-out-in-theaters-what-did-you-think/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/sound-off-coyote-vs-acme-is-out-in-theaters-what-did-you-think/#disqus_thread Fri, 28 Aug 2026 21:42:08 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=804756 Now that you've seen it, what did you think? 💥 "These companies think they can do whatever they want. We're sick of it!" Fight the power! Playing in theaters worldwide is Coyote vs. Acme, the movie that Warner Bros was planning to delete & then never show anyone (still unbelievable?!), which was rescued by Ketchup Entertainment. After years in development, years of legal battles (how meta), and an extra year of final post-production & marketing prep, it's finally here for all of us to enjoy on the big screen. Is it totally worth the wait? Was everyone making a big stink about it right? How did this movie turn out? Directed by comedy filmmaker Dave Green, Coyote vs. Acme is the tale of what happens when Looney Tunes character Coyote decides to sue the Acme Corporation for selling him defunct & dangerous products to try to capture the Roadrunner. He hires small town billboard lawyer Kevin Avery, played by Will Forte, to confront the corporation and get them make better products. Just like Space Jam and Who Framed Roger Rabbit before it, Coyote vs. Acme is a clever live-action + cartoon hybrid movie combining cartoon antics interacting with real human beings. Made by Warner Bros Animation, the studio tried to shelve it indefinitely – until it was successfully rescued & revived. And now we get to experience it all of its glory.

Briarcliff Entertainment has debuted the official trailer for a film titled Nickels, yet another new grief drama arriving to watch this fall. Nickels is directed by indie filmmaker Spencer King and is set for a US release in theaters this October. This is the first we've heard or seen anything about this – no festival premieres either. It's a heavy emotional film about a man named Tom who lost his brother while he was riding a motorcycle 35 years ago. Tom Monroe, a successful entrepreneur, is haunted by his brother's death in a motorcycle accident. Years later, a neighbor's son ends up in a bike crash, leading Tom to suspect his brother's spirit has returned. This trailer hints that it's about grief but also about the possibility of reincarnation and coincidences that might be something more. Starring Rob Riggle giving an unusually dramatic, emotional performance as Tom, with Aaron Holliday as his neighbor's son, Bitsie Tulloch, June Schreiner, Tom Arnold, & Odessa A'zion as his daughter. It's a tad saccharine, but also looks endearing with them trying to make sense of all the feelings they are all feeling.

Though he has been making more music videos recently as well. This smoldering chamber thriller from director Anton Corbijn stars Oscar winner Helen Mirren + Alden Ehrenreich as opponents in a strange confrontation between a youthful literary agent and The Talented Mr. Ripley author Patricia Highsmith. A young man travels from New York to Switzerland to try to persuade acclaimed thriller writer Patricia Highsmith to write one final installment of her Tom Ripley series, with his efforts gradually turning more sinister. Along with Mirren & Ehrenreich, this also stars Olivia Cooke & Juliet Stevenson. Premiering at TIFF this fall then in theaters starting in October. This looks quite sneaky & tricky!

Sophie enters the cutthroat world of an elite tennis academy in Southern Europe, where ambition, obsession and fierce competition mask something increasingly sinister beneath the surface. She must contend with fierce competition and the school's increasingly evil undercurrents. Starring Sandra Guldberg Kampp as Sophie, with Elina Löwensohn, Tracy Gotoas, Helena Zengel, Zlatko Burić, Lily Taïeb, Juliana Vieira Guerra, Lucie Zhang, and Vincent Romeo.
