Magenta Edge Films revealed their official trailer for an indie film titled Concessions, another amusing love letter to a dying cinema and the patrons who don't want to leave. Also this year there's an Irish film titled Once Upon a Time in a Cinema set at a cinema, and last year there was the The Regulars set in London's old Prince Charles Cinema. From writer/director Mas Bouzidi, Concessions premiered at the 2025 Edinburgh Film Festival last year and arrives in the US to watch this fall (in limited theaters and on VOD). As the Royal Alamo Cinema closes its doors for good; the jaded staff, eccentric patrons, and an unhinged manager stumble through one last night at the movies — grappling with busted dreams, bad popcorn, and hard goodbyes. This was filmed on 16mm in Suffern, NY at the Lafayette Theater (see Google Maps). The film stars the late Michael Madsen (who passed away a few months ago), Steven Ogg, Josh Hamilton, Lana Rockwell, Ivory Aquino, Ari Barkan, Rob Riordan. Looks like an amusing indie creation that's all about how iconic (or maybe not) the movie theater experience is. Enjoy. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-who-is-martin-mull-doc-about-the-cult-comedian/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-who-is-martin-mull-doc-about-the-cult-comedian/#disqus_thread Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:43:22 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808204 "Martin Mull was the absolutely of top of comedy – and that's not what he did best." Netflix has unveiled the official trailer for a documentary film titled Who Is Martin Mull?, which hopes to answer this exact question! This is ready for streaming on Netflix starting in October. Some may know him already, the rest will recognize him as "ohhhh that guy!". Dive into the storied history of fan-favorite comedic actor Martin Mull (who you may know best as Gene Parmesan) in this star-studded doc. The film traces Martin Mull's restless reinvention from smoky folk clubs to primetime sitcoms to gallery walls, told in his own words and by the friends who watched it happen, including Steve Martin, Tom Waits, David Alan Grier, and others. Musician, cult comedian, unlikely TV fixture, and acclaimed painter — Martin Mull spent his life becoming someone new all the time, and no version was ever what anyone expected. I'm intrigued by this revelation about his other creative side and how all over the place his life has been. Looks like another fascinating doc. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/venice-2026-recap-6-worthwhile-films-to-watch-from-the-festival/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/venice-2026-recap-6-worthwhile-films-to-watch-from-the-festival/#disqus_thread Mon, 21 Sep 2026 17:11:20 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=807979 "He should be my film's protagonist." Time for a final recap. Each year, I am lucky for the opportunity to return to the splendid city of Venice in Northern Italy to attend the Venice Film Festival and catch the latest films premiering there. Unfortunately the selection at Venice 2026 was a huge disappointment - there were so few good films to talk about, that I can only really highlight these 6 films below worthy of being watched. The last few years were much better, but this year not a single film wowed me. This was my 10th year returning to Venice, and I'm always happy to be back, no matter how the films turn out (good or bad – it's fun to be there and watch everything). In total, I viewed 32 films during Venice this year. The Golden Lion winner (Woman Unknown) was not one of my favorite of the fest by a long shot, however the Grand Prix runner up Possible Love is the one that actually should've won instead. I'm depressed by just how bad the line-up was! Nonetheless, I still want to mention my 6 favorites from Venice 2026 anyway. I always do my best to watch as many films as I can, hoping to find any hidden gems and breakout hits amid the debuts. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-get-your-tickets-now-street-fighter-promo-trailer-references/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-get-your-tickets-now-street-fighter-promo-trailer-references/#disqus_thread Mon, 21 Sep 2026 16:23:57 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808157 "Three, two, one... fight!" Paramount Pictures has revealed one final "Tickets on Sale" trailer for the Street Fighter video game action movie arriving in theaters next month. This is looking like it could actually be one of the best video game movies we'll ever see – staying true to the iconic Street Fighter series of video games and what makes them so iconic to play. We posted the awesome full trailer back in April and second trailer earlier this month + a behind-the-scenes promo. From director Kitao Sakurai, this video game action movie lands in theaters October 2026. Street Fighters Ryu & Ken reunite when Chun-Li recruits them for the World Warrior Tournament.

What do we have here?! Horror fans - don't skip over this preview. A24 has unveiled a surprise teaser trailer for a movie now titled Slayground, a Halloween haunted house horror movie from acclaimed genre filmmaker Jeremy Saulnier (of Blue Ruin, Green Room, Hold the Dark, Rebel Ridge). This secret teaser started playing in theaters this past weekend - everyone was surprised because this new title is so new it is not even listed online anywhere. Written & directed by Saulnier, the film was initially titled October, but since it won't release this October and A24 didn't want to wait until next year, they gave it a new title. It's still due out in theaters sometime soon this fall. Starring Chase Sui Wonders, Sophie Wilde, Stephen Root, Imogen Poots, Matty Matheson, Young Mazino, with Macon Blair. Details on what's going on are rather vague – but this trailer (and the sneaky viral website) is filled with CCTV footage of people going through a crazy scary Halloween haunted house. Maybe all the scares in there are actually real? It's run by a demon? There's also a reveal of a uber gnarly villain character at the end of this footage - check it out below. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/brad-pitt-is-back-in-the-further-mis-adventures-of-cliff-booth-trailer/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/brad-pitt-is-back-in-the-further-mis-adventures-of-cliff-booth-trailer/#disqus_thread Mon, 21 Sep 2026 12:41:54 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=808088 "Whatever it is you're thinking, it's not what you think." Here we go, Fincher fans! Netflix has revealed the first full official trailer for the long-awaited new David Fincher movie titled correctly: The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth. This is the official new name for this (different from the Super Bowl spot), a spin-off from Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood featuring the same character. Now set for release in November (in IMAX theaters) then streaming on Netflix in December later this year. It's 1977, 8 years since Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) encountered the Manson family. In these Mis-Adventures, directed by Fincher from a new script by Tarantino, the fairytale is over. Los Angeles no longer needs a hippie-slaying stuntman the way it did. But Hollywood will always have problems, problems that can only be solved with Cliff's unique (occasionally extralegal) abilities. Starring Brad Pitt as Cliff Booth, with Elizabeth Debicki, Scott Caan, Carla Gugino, Yahya Abdul-Mateen II, Peter Weller, Corey Fogelmanis, JB Tadena, Matt Groove, Karren Karagulian. This looks fun! This trailer is a bit dark, many night scenes obviously. The rest of it just seems like a scuzzy hang out and get in trouble in Hollywood movie.

Life After Movies has revealed their official trailer for a documentary film titled As Far Back As I Can Remember... The Story of Goodfellas, looking back at the success and legacy of Martin Scorsese's iconic 1990 movie Goodfellas. The ultimate love letter to his mafia film with Robert De Niro, Ray Liotta, Joe Pesci, and Lorraine Bracco. Released in 1990, directed by Scorsese and written by Nicholas Pileggi & Martin Scorsese, the film went on to win the Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Joe Pesci) Academy Award after six nominations from the Oscars back then. Often regarded as one of Scorsese's best (along with many others in his filmography) this doc explores the making of the film, how it turned out so iconic, and how much of an impact it has had on cinema and beyond. With brand new interviews with many of those behind & in front of the camera, including Lorraine Bracco, Irwin Winkler, Chris Serrone, Nicholas Pileggi, Samuel L. Jackson, Debi Mazar, Illeana Douglas, Kristi Zea, Barry Wetcher, camera operator Larry McConkey, Joseph Reidy, Johnny Roastbeef, Bo Dietl, Julie Garfield, Welker White, Barbara De Fina, Kevin Corrigan, Joseph D'Onofrio, and plenty more.

Film Movement revealed a new trailer for the 4K restoration of this 1991 Chinese classic titled Raise the Red Lantern. One of the early films in acclaimed director Zhang Yimou's oeuvre (his 4th feature at the time), this premiered at both the Venice & Toronto Film Festivals in 1991 before opening in the US in 1992. "As visually striking as it is dramatically effective," Zhang's Oscar-nominated Raise the Red Lantern sumptuously captures 1920s China while "subtly exploring the politics of power & control." A young woman becomes the fourth concubine of a wealthy man and soon realizes there's fierce competition for his attention & associated privileges. Starring Gong Li, Ma Jingwu, He Saifei, Cao Cuifen, and Jin Shuyuan. The 4K restoration of Raise the Red Lantern was carried out by the Udine Far East Film Festival on the occasion of its 26th edition. The original image & sound negatives were used under the supervision of Director Zhang Yimou. The vintage positive copy, shown at the 1991 Venice Film Festival and preserved at Venice Biennale's Historical Archive of Contemporary Arts, was used for color reference. The restoration was made in 2024 at L'Immagine Ritrovata. I've seen this film - it's, indeed, truly stunning. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-trailer-for-v-for-vendetta-20th-anniversary-re-release-in-nov/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/final-trailer-for-v-for-vendetta-20th-anniversary-re-release-in-nov/#disqus_thread Fri, 18 Sep 2026 21:03:28 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=807954 "By the power of truth, I, while living, have conquered the universe." 💥 "Vi veri universum vivus vici." Fathom Ent. has revealed one final "get your tickets" trailer for the special screenings of the extraordinary revolutionary classic V for Vendetta, made by The Wachowskis and director James McTeigue. The 2026 event will be held on November 5th, 2026 in celebration of the 20th Anniversary of the movie (it was originally released back in March 2006 but the date November 5th is important in the movie). With another viewing on November 1st as well. V for Vendetta is one of my all-time favorites, a brilliantly exhilarating cinematic experience, and one of The Wachowski Sisters' most unforgettable follow-ups to The Matrix just 7 years prior. In a near future British dystopian authoritarian society (similar to the one in America today), a shadowy freedom fighter, known only by the alias of "V", plots to overthrow the tyrannical government with the help of a young woman. Natalie Portman stars as Evey, and Hugo Weaving co-stars entirely under a Guy Fawkes mask in one his best performances ever as the enigmatic V. The cast includes Stephen Rea, Stephen Fry, John Hurt, Tim Pigott-Smith, Rupert Graves, & Roger Allam. November 5th is right around the corner and let me say – this is the movie we all need at this moment in time. As powerful as ever. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/venice-2026-too-much-sugar-depicts-the-real-power-of-storytelling/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/venice-2026-too-much-sugar-depicts-the-real-power-of-storytelling/#disqus_thread Fri, 18 Sep 2026 20:27:03 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=807907 "Ryan and I share a basic desire to correct the mistakes of our deadbeat fathers and stop the generational hurt by being good fathers ourselves." Watching films every single day and recommending films for a living has made me rather unsure if cinema is actually having the positive impact that we all want to believe it is. Are people really changing after watching new films? Are they actually learning more about the world? Are they really growing & evolving after they experience new perspectives from other people? Thankfully there is one film that is capturing this change happening. Too Much Sugar is a unique documentary hybrid film created and directed by American filmmaker Robert Greene. It just premiered at the 2026 Venice Film Festival in the Orizzonti section though it really feels much more like a Sundance film through and through. It's a clever meta filmmaking concept about addressing toxic masculinity by having two manly papas from a small town in Missouri confront themselves by making a film about themselves and their families. It didn't entirely wow me, but it's solid overall. As time passes I still find myself thinking about it and these families. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-free-leonard-peltier-true-story-activism-doc-film/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/official-trailer-for-free-leonard-peltier-true-story-activism-doc-film/#disqus_thread Fri, 18 Sep 2026 17:04:42 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=807887 "It's always because of the land." Netflix is about to debut this documentary film to watch worldwide next month. Free Leonard Peltier is a true story documentary about one man and America. It's also the story about one activist and the power of activism. Free Leonard Peltier premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival last year, and after touring around to other fests, it's finally ready for release. Acclaimed directors Jesse Short Bull and David France revisit one of the most discredited convictions in modern America—the double life sentences handed down to Indian rights activist Leonard Peltier for the 1975 murder of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation of South Dakota. The film chronicles occupations, arrests, demands, assassinations—and in the midst of it all, the story of Peltier, a one-time mechanic who joined the AIM movement to protect and advocate for his people and quickly found himself in a war. After nearly five decades in federal prison, Peltier's sentence was commuted to home confinement in January 2025. Alas has conviction was not overturned.

This initially premiered at the 2025 Venice Film Fesitval last year and is finally getting a US release this year. A pianist falls for a mysterious woman who vanishes into a supernatural realm. Following her through a doorway, he encounters fantastical beings and must navigate a dreamlike afterlife to find her – guided by music and memories. In the classic Greek tragedy, a snake bites Eurydice on her wedding day, and her new husband, Orpheus, travels to the Underworld to bring her back. Virgilio Villoresi's expressionistic adaptation of the tale is based on Dino Buzzati's 1969 Poema a fumetti, which was actually Italy's first graphic novel. The film is a modern reimagining with an aesthetic untethered from reality: a kaleidoscopic journey through time and place, reflecting on mystery, eroticism, melancholy, art, love, life, death. Starring Luca Vergoni, Giulia Maenza, Aomi Muyock, and Vinicio Marchioni. This one is for all the cinema nerds who love this kind of distinct, visually stylish experimental work.

Black Fawn Films has revealed the first official festival trailer for the indie horror film titled Death of a Yellow Bird, made by Canadian indie genre filmmaker Cody Calahan. This is premiering soon at Fantastic Fest 2026 this month down in Austin, and will likely show up at other festivals as well. The initial synopsis is pretty simple: A ghostly voice speaks to a man through a VHS tape found buried beneath his childhood home. From the looks of it, this is the next liminal, vintage indie horror following Skinamarink, Backrooms, and Undertone. FF describes it as "slow-burn, atmospheric horror " that "is sure to be one of the most cathartic experiences at this year's fest." Starring Ari Millen as the man. "When the man begins to hear the mysterious presence in his recordings, the film’s sound uses garbled, staticky words to communicate the otherworldliness of the entity and the man's own mysterious past and identity. Would it surprise you to know the director was a producer on the soundscape horror Undertone from earlier this year?"

Picturehouse has revealed the official US trailer for a beautiful, uplifting friendship film titled The North, following two friends as they hike across the Scottish Highlands. Made by Dutch filmmaker Bart Schrijver, it's a narrative fictional feature that plays like a documentary about these friends as they reconnect while taking in the nature. Schrijver’s acclaimed film captures the former best friends and roommates Chris (Bart Harder) and Lluis (Carles Pulido), who meet up after a decade to hike Scotland's West Highland Way and Cape Wrath Trail (visit this site). Shot entirely on the route of the walk up in the Scottish Highlands, and in chronological order, The North is a beautiful ode to friendship and the healing power of nature. It’s not only a poignant and powerful drama, but also one of the definitive hiking film, allowing us to enjoy the stunning majesty of the Highlands shoulder-to-shoulder with Lluis & Chris as they reconnect with each other and with nature. This looks great! It seems to have similar vibes as the Before films, without the romance, but with the reminiscing about life. // Continue Reading ›]]> 0 https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/crime-comedy-stranglehold-trailer-with-ashley-benson-ron-perlman/ https://www.firstshowing.net/2026/crime-comedy-stranglehold-trailer-with-ashley-benson-ron-perlman/#disqus_thread Thu, 17 Sep 2026 21:24:33 +0000 https://www.firstshowing.net/?p=807790 "Ain't very Christian what you're doing here now."

This four-part docu series traces Mike Tyson's rise from Brooklyn to becoming the youngest heavyweight champion, and the fame, controversy, and the personal reckoning that followed. Tyson is a "raw" 4-part documentary that peels back the curtain on Mike Tyson’s explosive life, from a brutal childhood and a meteoric rise to heavyweight glory to the addiction, jail time, public breakdowns, and the infamous ear bite that almost ended it all. Told unfiltered in Tyson’s own words, with never-before-seen material and rare access to his family, friends, foes, it's an intimate portrait of greatness, collapse, and a man still confronting the cost of his legacy.

Netflix is always buying indie animated films to play, but this they made in-house on their own. "Think you know Cinderella's 'evil' stepsisters? Think again." Steps is a reinvention of the Cinderella story about her other sisters. Blamed for magical mischief at the Royal Ball, stepsister Lilith turns her other step-sister into a frog and causes the kingdom to be run by a mean girl. She must work with Cinderella and a troll to save the kingdom and prove that even "villains" deserve happily ever afters, too. Huh, okay. The voice cast features Ali Wong as Lilith, Amanda Seyfried as Cinderella, Stephanie Hsu as Margot, Nikki Glaser as the evil Priscilla, Daniel Radcliffe as The Prince, Young Mazino, Luis "Damian Priest" Martínez, Peter Dinklage, and with Bette Midler as The Fairy Godmother.
