News Sugar Colin Farrell Gets Consumed by Los Angeles’ Underbelly in Sugar Trailer If you like Chinatown vibes and Hollywood drama‚ this one is for you. By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on March 5‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed Apple TV+ has a hardboiled detective series coming our way this spring. The show‚ titled Sugar‚ has Colin Farrell starring as the titular character‚ a hardboiled private investigator in current-day Los Angeles whose latest case—searching for a missing woman—entangles him with the city’s dark underside. The streaming platform released a trailer for the series today‚ and it looks like the series from writer Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend‚ Thor) is marinating in noir aesthetic even though it takes place in sunny SoCal. Here’s the official synopsis: Sugar is a contemporary‚ unique take on one of the most popular and significant genres in literary‚ motion picture and television history: the private detective story. Academy Award-nominee Colin Farrell stars as John Sugar‚ an American private investigator on the heels of the mysterious disappearance of Olivia Siegel‚ the beloved granddaughter of legendary Hollywood producer Jonathan Siegel. As Sugar tries to determine what happened to Olivia‚ he will also unearth Siegel family secrets; some very recent‚ others long-buried. Is anyone else getting some Chinatown vibes? In addition to Farrell‚ Sugar stars Kirby (Sandman)‚ Amy Ryan (The Wire)‚ James Cromwell (Succession)‚ Anna Gunn (Breaking Bad)‚ Dennis Boutsikaris (Better Call Saul)‚ Nate Corddry (Mindhunter)‚ Sydney Chandler (Don’t Worry Darling)‚ and Alex Hernandez (Invasion). That’s an impressive roster of actors‚ and that‚ along with this trailer (and my penchant for noir mysteries based in Los Angeles)‚ make me eager to see this once it hits my television screen. The first two episodes of Sugar’s eight-episode season premiere on Apple TV+ on Friday‚ April 5‚ 2024 on Apple TV+. The remaining episodes will drop weekly every Friday. Check out the trailer below.

News The Wild Robot The Wild Robot Trailer Is Great‚ But Has the Audacity to Make You Cry By Vanessa Armstrong | Published on March 5‚ 2024 icon-comment 0 Share New Share Twitter Facebook Pinterest RSS Feed DreamWorks Animation has adapted Peter Brown’s middle grade novel‚ The Wild Robot‚ and if the trailer released today is any indication‚ it looks like it will be one worth watching. Not only does it come from writer-director Chris Sanders‚ whose previous credits include How to Train Your Dragon‚ The Croods‚ and Lilo &; Stitch‚ but it also features a stellar voice cast‚ beautiful imagery‚ and a robot that may or may not remind you of Mosscap from Becky Chambers’ Monk &; Robot series. Here’s the official synopsis for The Wild Robot: The epic adventure follows the journey of a robot—ROZZUM unit 7134‚ “Roz” for short—that is shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and must learn to adapt to the harsh surroundings‚ gradually building relationships with the animals on the island and becoming the adoptive parent of an orphaned gosling. And here’s that voice cast I hinted at above: Lupita Nyong’o (Us‚ The Black Panther) is robot Roz; Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us‚ The Mandalorian) is fox Fink; Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek‚ Best in Show) is opossum Pinktail; Bill Nighy (Living‚ Love Actually) is goose Longneck; Kit Connor (Heartstopper‚ Rocketman) is gosling Brightbill; and Stephanie Hsu (Everything Everywhere All at Once) is Vontra‚ a robot that will intersect with Roz’s life on the island. We’ll also apparently hear Mark Hamill (Star Wars‚ of course)‚ Matt Berry (What We Do in the Shadows)‚ and Ving Rhames (Pulp Fiction) as well in some shape‚ way‚ or form. The Wild Robot premieres in theaters on September 20‚ 2024. And remember‚ as the end of the released clip reminds us: “Sometimes to survive‚ we must become more than we were programmed to be.” Check out the promised trailer below‚ which rudely made me cry:[end-mark] The post <;i>;The Wild Robot<;/i>; Trailer Is Great‚ But Has the Audacity to Make You Cry appeared first on Reactor.

The Spear of Ala—the fortress that stands at the gates of the demon’s hive—is the last bastion against the horde‚ and reports say it may already have fallen. Olive Paper is expected to take the vanguard in the fight. Only an heir of Kaji can wield the artifact that opens the gates of the Spear of Ala‚ and as Ahmann Jardir’s child‚ Olive seems destined for a role as leader and savior.
