Bourne 5

Our Brand Is Crisis

Hey, remember when Sandra Bullock played an astronaut in jeopardy? We do too, but now it’s time to talk about an entirely different side of Sandy. We now have on our hands the trailer for Bullock’s upcoming Our Brand Is Crisis, in which the megastar plays “Calamity” Jane Bodine, a retired political consultant hired for the 2002 Bolivian presidential election. Director David Gordon Green’s dramedy is based on the identically named 2005 documentary. Co-starring Scoot McNairy, Billy Bob Thornton, Anthony Mackie, and Ann Dowd, it arrives on October 30th.

Demolition

Who’s up for another star vehicle trailer? This time it’s Jake Gyllenhaal in Demolition, a drama in which he plays an investment banker grappling with the sudden death of his wife. Chris Cooper and Naomi Watts co-star in the April 8, 2016 release, directed by Jean-Marc Vallée. It’s scheduled to open the 2015 Toronto International Film Festival.

Halloween Returns

Gillian Jacobs

Halloween Returns director Marcus Dunstan, whose film is a direct sequel to 1981’s Halloween II, has announced he’s love to cast Community star Gillian Jacobs in the lead…

“She’s known for all this comedy on Community, and yet I didn’t know her from Community first, I knew her from a movie called Gardens of the Night, which is one of the most wrenching dramas, and she’s excellent. I thought, ‘I wonder if this great performer would do that again, would like to go there,’ and I think so.”

Regarding the film’s title, Dunstan comments, “It does function as what it means to say: If you commit a violent act, sometimes you get returns. What are the repercussions of being a violent entity? In that case, ‘Halloween Returns’ could mean a number of things.”
