Trailer Alert – Red Friday
TEASER – Red Friday from 401 Films on Vimeo.
Full disclosure, this is a shameless plug. Having said that, this is the best trailer of the SUMMER! Watch it in daylight, because you won’t be able to sleep if you watch before bedtime.
Red Friday is a short film that two buddies of mine and I started working on early this year. Right now it’s being shopped around at film festivals (how official does that sound) so we can’t show you the full thing, but never fear! 11.25.16 is the day it will be released on the 401 Films (that’s us) vimeo page. Stay tuned for some behind the scenes footage and stories!
Red Friday stars: Jessica Rockwood, Donnie Andrade, George the Elf and introducing Aundrea Scott.

Trailer Alert – American Honey
Ok, i’m not sure if this is a new movie, or just found footage of Shia LaBeouf’s life since in 2015.
All kidding aside, Shia LaBeouf looks awesome in this flick. I’ve been a big Shia fan since Even Stevens and noting has changed. Indiana Jones? Loved it (well…loved some of it). Transformers franchise? Own them on blu-ray and hate that they switched to Marky Mark. Disturbia?? Come on, if you don’t think Disturbia is a legitimate good movie then get the fuck off my blog. That shit was chilling and suspenseful as fuck.
This is one of those movies/movie trailers that twists my stomach. Guns, youngsters drinking and driving, cowboys in a convertible Cadillac?? Get the EKG machine, my heart rate is off the charts. All of it feels incredibly authentic, which brings me back to Shia. Dude looks like he’s on another level when it comes to acting. I recently read a story about how him and James Corden were asked to read for the movie War Dogs (Which ended up starring Miles Teller and Jonah “Fluctuating Weight” Hill). The night before they were set to read. Shia got picked up by police and spent the night in jail. Not letting that stop him, he showed up to the audition with his shoelaces in his hands (for those of you not familiar with prison, they take anything you can harm yourself with away from you) and read for the part with his shoelaces strung over his glasses. While the method was unorthodox, James Corden said it was the most incredible interview he’s ever seen. How someone with shoelaces over his eyes was able to stay razor focused. In short, i’m excited for the LaBeouf renaissance.

Trailer Alert – Arrival
I am 100 million percent on board for this movie. I need more Sci-Fi movies in my life and I need them yesterday. The only thing that bugs me are those space ships. No Alien is gonna land on my turf looking like they are driving a skipping stone and expect not to be blown to bits. Stop your game up, Aliens.

Trailer Alert – Luke Cage
If you enjoyed the Netflix series ‘Jessica Jones’ but thought to yourself: “self – this a great show, but it needs more Luke Cage”, then you’re in luck. Netflix just released the full length trailer for their new show ‘Luke Cage’, and it looks badass. Cage was a standout during ‘Jessica Jones’ and I appreciate Netflix giving the character his own show so quickly. These Netflix original shows somehow keep getting better (Stranger Things, I’m looking your way you beautiful bastard) and ‘Luke Cage’ should be no exception. Getting the audience to feel for a guy that is basically invincible can be tough, but Mike Colter did a terrific job in ‘Jessica Jones’ so I have to imagine this will be no different. Rounding out the cast is Maherhala Ali (House of Cards), Frankie Faison (The Wire), Erik LaRay Harvey (Boardwalk Empire) and a relative newcomer (at least to me) Simone Missick. Luke Cage premieres September 30th on Netflix.

Trailer Alert – The Justice League & Wonder Woman
Justice League
Get the mop, I just wet myself. Maybe I was just as excited for the first Avengers’ trailer, but I sure don’t remember that excitement. This excitement though…this excitement is palpable. I’m super ready for The Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman to join their fellow Justice League members on the big screen.
PS – GIVE ME MORE BAT-FLECK AND GIVE HIM TO ME NOW. People can argue whatever they want, but he is the best Bruce Wayne, ever. EVER. Strike me dead if that isn’t true.
Wonder Woman
Keep the mop out, there’s another puddle forming. Gal Gadot is a smoking-hot badass who makes me cry on command when she sacrifices herself for Han in Fast and Furious. She is the Wonder Woman we deserve and the one the Justice League NEEDS. With news of Brie Larson taking on the role as Captain Marvel, we are in for more badassery all around.

Rogue One Footage Alert
Pretty cool little video, but I assume the proper 2nd trailer drops today or tomorrow. Stay tuned. Disney bought the rights to Star Wars towards the end of 2012 and we’re already on the verge of a second NEW Star Wars film. WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE!
LESS THAN 6 MONTHS UNTIL ROGUE ONE!
HIT THE MUSIC!

P.S. If we’re being honest…at the end, when Jyn Erso says “May the Force be with us”, it moved.
Trailer Alert: Bleed For This
Miles Teller has been on one HELL of a hot streak, besides that abortion they called a Fantastic 4 movie. To be fair, he wasn’t even CLOSE to the worst thing about that movie. Anyway, Miles Teller trades drumsticks for boxing gloves for what looks to be his next big role. Miles plays Vinny Paz, a boxer, and nut case, from my home state of Rhode Island. He’s a legend in these parts and this movies looks like it will further solidify his place in history as one of the great American boxers (/nut cases). I probably watched this trailer 20 times before I blogged it. You’re not American/A living, breathing human if you don;t like a good comeback story.
You better believe i’ll have my ass in a seat the weekend it comes out. MattStar review to follow.

Trailer Alert – “Clown”
Clown tells a classic story. Clown cancels on kid’s birthday party, dad finds demonic clown costume, Dad murders his whole family. You know, that old chestnut. That bloody stump for a nose chestnut. Eli Roth has been on FIRE in recent years, finding and producing this movie is just another notch in his hot streak. Right now Clown sits at the top of the iTunes horror downloads.
