The Outback happened to John Grant." Arrow Video has revealed their 4K restoration trailer for the cult classic Australian thriller called Wake in Fright – the US release title for this. Wake in Fright originally opened in 1971 in Australia under the title Outback there, since it's set there following some wild and crazy folks living in the dusty Outback of Oz. Arrow states: "Raw and brutal in its depiction of Outback country drinking culture in the 1970s, Wake in Fright is an uncompromising landmark of Australian cinema from director Ted Kotcheff" (who would later direct First Blood). Kotcheff also sadly passed away just last year. Starring Gary Bond, after a bad gambling bet, a schoolteacher is marooned in a town full of crazy, drunk, violent men who threaten to make him just as crazy, drunk, and violent. It first premiered at the 1971 Cannes Film Festival as well. This psychological thriller film directed by Ted Kotcheff, written by Evan Jones, stars in the cast: Gary Bond, Donald Pleasence, Chips Rafferty, Sylvia Kay, & Jack Thompson. Based on Kenneth Cook's 1961 novel of the same name, it follows a schoolteacher who descends into personal moral degradation after finding himself stranded in this menacing town.

Grasshopper Film already released this film and it seems like it's worth watching. This new trailer appeared online and it's our first time posting about it. Angel Applicant is an autobiographical documentary film made by filmmaker Ken August Meyer. It first premiered back in 2023 at the SXSW Film Festival where it won Audience Award for Best Doc Film then. Paul Klee, a Swiss-German painter, fled Germany in 1933 when he and other modern artists were vilified by the rising Nazi Party. Isolated in Switzerland, a mysterious disease began wreaking havoc on his body & profoundly changing his artwork. Director Ken August Meyer explores Klee's expressive last works after also being diagnosed with the same fatal disease, systemic scleroderma. He discovers empathetic wisdom on how to cope with his own challenges within Klee's colorful paintings. Klee passed away in 1940 just at the start of WWII. It's strange this film hasn't been shown much since premiering in 2023 because it looks quite good. Especially because he takes the time go visit Switzerland exploring the mountains and Klee's gallery in Bern. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/watch-romain-gavras-excellent-music-video-for-gener8ions-storm/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/watch-romain-gavras-excellent-music-video-for-gener8ions-storm/#disqus_thread Fri, 01 May 2026 15:46:52 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=788018 "Just go ahead and run, run, run, run... If you won't die for some, if you don't stand for none." This is the must watch music video of spring 2026. An impressively choreographed, gritty school video for the French musician known as Gener8ion's track called "Storm." The song features young Swedish rapper "Yung Lean" who also appears in the music video as the main character. This Gener8ion music video is directed by the acclaimed French filmmaker Romain Gavras, who is already one of my favorite directors anyway - director of Our Day Will Come, The World Is Yours, Athena, and Sacrifice most recently. The video follows students at a boarding school of some kind set in the near future – the "Storm class of 2034." Yung Lean is the guy at the center of it all, getting involved in and stirring up plenty of trouble of his own. It ends with a spectacular coordinated dance sequence with the entire class dancing together. A vivid, unforgettable video. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/beautiful-owl-making-of-look-at-laikas-wildwood-stop-motion-film/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/beautiful-owl-making-of-look-at-laikas-wildwood-stop-motion-film/#disqus_thread Fri, 01 May 2026 15:05:13 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=788021 "There's something special about you... something magical." Laika has unveiled another wonderful 2-min making of featurette for their next stop-motion animated movie Wildwood – landing in theaters starting in October this fall. They've been developing it for years and it's finally finishing up. Here we get a glimpse at the owl character in it. This is an original project and they're trying to build up the mystique & intrigue and it seems like something special. The character of Prue was revealed in a 2024 first look – Prue McKeel (Peyton Elizabeth Lee) and her friend Curtis are drawn into a hidden, magical forest near Portland after Prue's baby brother Mac is kidnapped by crows, led by a mysterious woman. The full cast includes Jacob Tremblay, Carey Mulligan, Awkwafina, Mahershala Ali, Jake Johnson, Charlie Day, Jemaine Clement, Amandla Stenberg, Tom Waits, and Richard E. Grant. This making of promo focuses son capturing the beauty of the natural world and all of the birds in this story as the film is set in the PNW and is infused with the mystery of this magnificent region. I am always in awe of the extraordinary attention to detail – every feather, every leaf, every little aspect of every single thing in each frame. This looks gorgeous. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-uk-trailer-for-the-christophers-artist-thriller-with-mckellen-coel/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-uk-trailer-for-the-christophers-artist-thriller-with-mckellen-coel/#disqus_thread Fri, 01 May 2026 14:39:45 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=788003 "That's where the 'art' of it comes in..." "The art of – what?" "Becoming someone else..." 🎨 Picturehouse revealed another new UK trailer for The Christophers, the latest Steven Soderbergh movie to watch in theaters (after Presence & Black Bag last year). It's already out in the US now, and opens in UK cinemas this May. This first premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last year. The children of a once famous artist hire a forger to complete some unfinished, long ago abandoned canvases from his "Christophers" collection so they'll have an inheritance when he passes. Ian McKellen stars as Julian Sklar - who was once a star of London’s 1960s and 70's pop art explosion, but he hasn’t painted in decades and has been broke for years. His two estranged children (James Corden & Jessica Gunning), desperate for an inheritance, hire Lori, an art restorer and former forger to help them sell some unfinished pieces. Michaela Coel co-stars as the forger Lori Butler. I recently watched this and it's very good. A thoughtful film about artists and originality and expression and finding yourself. It's definitely worth a watch if you're intrigued by this cast or the story. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-marty-life-is-short-doc-about-comedian-martin-short/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-trailer-for-marty-life-is-short-doc-about-comedian-martin-short/#disqus_thread Fri, 01 May 2026 14:02:48 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=787970 "I'm so damn lucky. How do I keep it going?" The eternal question. Netflix has revealed the official trailer for Marty, Life Is Short, a new biopic documentary film about the famous comedian Martin Short. He was also featured very prominently within Steve Martin's recent biopic doc called STEVE! (Martin) because they're best friends (and he shows up in here, too). From acclaimed writer / director Lawrence Kasdan comes this new doc Marty, Life Is Short: the definitive documentary on comedian Martin Short, exploring his career across film, television, theater and comedy. Using beautiful, intimate, never-before-seen archive footage alongside exclusive interviews with some of the most established and beloved stars, the heartfelt doc takes a close look at one of the most influential comedians of a generation. From Imagine Documentaries, this gets into all the various sides of his fascinating life that most of us probably aren't familiar with. As Tom Hank says: "Marty operates at the speed of joy." Looks wonderfully uplifting & wholesome – worth a watch. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-trailer-for-animated-film-decorado-trippy-existential-journey/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/new-trailer-for-animated-film-decorado-trippy-existential-journey/#disqus_thread Fri, 01 May 2026 13:26:29 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=787959 "What exactly are you searching for?" GKids has debuted a second official trailer for the US release of the animated film Decorado (you can view the first trailer). The third feature directed by Spanish animation filmmaker Alberto Vázquez, Decorado played at Fantastic Fest, Sitges, London, Tokyo, & other film festivals last fall. Now hitting US theaters starting this May – and it looks like a doozy! Another one to watch out for this summer. The story follows Arnold, a mouse in midlife crisis, who sees his world as artificial theater set. As personal troubles mount, his suspicion of living in a fake reality leads him to search for what's authentic. Adapted from the acclaimed 2016 short film (which we posted) also by director Alberto Vázquez (Birdoby, Unicorn Wars), Decorado blends biting humor with haunting beauty in a darkly comedic odyssey through our era of social control, manufactured realities, and the quest for authentic human connection. The English dub version has the voices of David Goldstein as Arnold, Marissa Parness as María, Brian Maillard as Duck Roni. I like how trippy & wild this story gets in all the footage at the end of the trailer below. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-official-trailer-for-the-hen-film-following-a-chicken-on-the-run/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/full-official-trailer-for-the-hen-film-following-a-chicken-on-the-run/#disqus_thread Thu, 30 Apr 2026 21:34:49 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=787925 Why did the chicken cross the road? 🐣 Madman Films in Australia has unveiled the first official trailer for a film called Hen, or The Hen, an animal movie made by Hungarian filmmaker György Pálfi. This clever tale of a chicken who goes on the run premiered at the 2025 Toronto Film Festival last year and will be out in Europe this summer in theaters. This film follows a Leghorn chicken who escapes from an industrial farm and wanders until finding a home in the chicken coop of a small family-owned restaurant tied to a human smuggling ring. It was shot entirely in Greece and features 8 separate Hungarian chickens playing the lead role of the "hen" – named Eszti, Szandi, Feri, Enci, Eti, Eniko, Nora, and Anett. 🐔 They're all cuties! Hen follows a chicken on the road navigating the pecking order of a crumbling seaside restaurant in Greece. As she fights to protect her eggs, she becomes an unwitting witness to the complex human lives around her as the restaurant is caught up in greed, smuggling, and the migrant crisis. Reminds me of those donkey movies Eo and Au Hasard Balthazar, which are no doubt an inspiration for this tale. Looks quite good! I'm curious. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/one-more-fun-uk-trailer-for-power-ballad-paul-rudd-vs-nick-jonas/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/one-more-fun-uk-trailer-for-power-ballad-paul-rudd-vs-nick-jonas/#disqus_thread Thu, 30 Apr 2026 20:36:50 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=787907 "We got robbed – what are you going to do?" Lionsgate UK has revealed the final official UK trailer for the pop rock musical comedy Power Ballad - opening soon in the UK and US theaters this summer. This looks like a fun one! Watch them duke it out! Power Ballad is the latest musical comedy creation made by Irish mastermind John Carney (of Once, Begin Again, Sing Street, Flora and Son). It originally premiered at the Dublin Film Festival and also stopped by SXSW. Rick, a washed-up wedding singer, and Danny, a fading boy band star, bond over music and a late-night jam session. When Danny turns Rick's song into a hit, Rick sets out to reclaim the recognition he believes he deserves – even if it means risking everything that he cares about. Starring Nick Jonas and Paul Rudd as the two rockers. A feel-good story about music, self-respect, friendship, and price of ambition. The film's cast includes Peter McDonald, Marcella Plunkett, Rory Keenan, Keith McErlean, Jack Reynor, Paul Reid, Beth Fallon, Havana Rose Liu, and Naoimh Whelton. This is a much funnier trailer than the recent US preview, showing more of the macho dude vs dude showdown in the movie once Rudd figures out his song was stolen. I'm ready to watch this!

A neuroscientist mourning the loss of her father is suddenly able to speak with him through a new technology, causing her to question everything from her relationships to her life's work. The cast includes Adam Pally, Maggie Grace, Avi Nash, and Paulina Porizkova. It's yet another artificial intelligence drama about using AI software to recreate your deceased loved one. But this has been done so many times over and over recently, so many films are doing this exact same story. This has the more upbeat comedic vibes of Her, with a few twists thrown in as the story plays out with a new bf & dead dad calling her. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/super-intense-trailer-for-pitfall-trapped-in-a-spiked-pit-forest-horror/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/super-intense-trailer-for-pitfall-trapped-in-a-spiked-pit-forest-horror/#disqus_thread Thu, 30 Apr 2026 15:42:32 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=787803 "We're being hunted..."

He quickly learns his fall was not an accident. There is a killer after them – played by none other than Randy Couture. Ha. What a concept! It's about a scary serial killer guy who torments hikers by trapping them in a giant hidden pit with spikes in it? This is insane! Starring Richard Harmon, Randy Couture, Alexandra Essoe, Jordan Claire Robbins, Matt Hamilton, Stephanie Izsak, Brenna Llewellyn, Michael Ryan.

Jackie, President and CEO of Air Cruz, runs a tight ship in her business, including a rigid anti-fraternization policy for all her employees. When a new sexy lawyer begins working for her, that romance policy becomes very tested. The two attractive actors Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein lead the raunchy romantic comedy about a steamy, secret office romance and the trouble two workaholics get in when they start thinking with their hearts. The ensemble cast also of this romcom includes Betty Gilpin, Amy Sedaris, Jodie Whittaker, Mary Wiseman, Tony Hale, with Bradley Whitford, and Edward James Olmos.

Did you watch this movie in theaters when it first opened? I did! It's brilliant! Revisit this glorious official trailer for one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken. The Fountain was the 3rd movie directed by Darren Aronofsky coming off his breakout hit Requiem for a Dream in 2000. It took him six years to finally finish and release it. Here's the story: Aronofsky originally planned to direct The Fountain on a $70 million budget with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett in the lead roles, but Pitt's withdrawal and cost overruns led Warner Bros to shut it down. Aronofsky rewrote the script to be sparser and was able to resurrect the film for $35 million with Hugh Jackman and Rachel Weisz in the lead roles. Spanning over one thousand years, and three parallel stories, The Fountain is a story of love, death, spirituality, and the fragility of our existence in this world. Along with Jackman & Weisz, it also stars Ellen Burstyn, Stephen McHattie, Mark Margolis, and Cliff Curtis as a conquistador. The Fountain also features a phenomenal score by composer Clint Mansell – it's still one of my all-time favorite movie scores. I love the visuals, especially all the space stuff with the floating tree of life, and I have fond memories of covering this movie during its original release back in 2006. Check out the classic theatrical trailer below. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-tubis-give-me-back-my-baby-surrogate-mom-thriller/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-tubis-give-me-back-my-baby-surrogate-mom-thriller/#disqus_thread Wed, 29 Apr 2026 19:48:09 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=787755 "What makes her trustworthy?"
