Fun Trailer for No Budget Sci-Fi Indie Comedy 'Foil' Shot in the Desert
"This foil is holding you back" Cranked Up Films has revealed an official trailer for a very low budget indie film titled Foil, a wacky UFO comedy from filmmaker Zach Green, co-written by Green and writer Devin O'Rourke. This premiered at Dances with Film Festival last year, and will be out on VOD this May. Here's the pitch: An unusual piece of foil with potential alien origin causes a rift between two former best friends camping in the California desert. Described as a sci-fi buddy comedy following two friends, Rex and Dexter, who are hoping to reconnect. They soon realize that their intentions for the camping weekend are at odds. Dexter, a failed filmmaker, hopes to harness a fabled vortex in the area to inspire a movie. Rex, a rebellious conspiracy theorist, plans to investigate a rumored UFO crash believed to explain the anomaly. This stars Chris Doubek as Tom, Brian McGuire, Devin O'Rourke, Zach Green, Ari Stidham, Ashley Rae Spillers, & Jasmine Wattar. Looks somewhat kooky and amusing, might be worth a watch when it's out.

Official Trailer for 'A Man in Full' Series with Jeff Daniels & Diane Lane
"I don't just want to take down your ex-husband, I want to devour him." Oh damn! It seems the battle has begun. Netflix has debuted the full official trailer for the series A Man in Full, arriving for streaming early May in a few weeks (first teaser here). It's adapted from the novel "A Man in Full" written by the late Tom Wolfe, a book many are familiar with already. The main character is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta conglomerate king whose outsize ego has at last hit up against reality. When Atlanta real estate mogul Charlie Croker faces sudden bankruptcy, political and business interests collide as Charlie defends his empire from those attempting to capitalize on his fall from grace. Starring Jeff Daniels as Croker, with Tom Pelphrey, Diane Lane, Lucy Liu, William Jackson Harper, Aml Ameen, Sarah Jones, Jon Michael Hill, and Chanté Adams. This looks wicked and amusing and, you know, from this trailer I'm kinda on the side of everyone trying to take him down. Will they be successful…?
Dakota Johnson & Sean Penn in a NYC Taxi in 'Daddio' Full Trailer
"I just gotta tell ya… you're better off walking away." Sony Pictures Classics has revealed the main official trailer for the indie film titled Daddio, marking the feature debut of the newcomer filmmaker Christy Hall. This initially premiered at both the 2023 Telluride & Toronto Film Festivals last fall. It's currently set for a release in select theaters starting in late June this summer. The New York City drama is set entirely in a taxi cab departing from JFK airport. A young woman jumps into the backseat of a yellow taxi, the cabbie throws the vehicle into drive as the two head out into the night toward Manhattan, striking up the most unexpected conversation resulting in a single, epic, remarkable journey. Dakota Johnson stars as Girlie, and Sean Penn co-stars as the driver Clark, described as a "curbside philosopher." I'm actually very curious to watch this, to see where their conversation goes and what gets revealed between the two of them. It's worth a look.

Whoa! Now what do we have here? A giant celestial being? Animation fans need to keep an eye out for this online series called Mothership, the latest creation from the animation studio known as Nathan Love. There are now two teaser trailers online, following premieres at film festivals back in 2023. It's mysteriously described as "a ridiculous space odyssey starting at the beginning of time itself (the Big Bang)." The story follows a creature known as the Starman. He is exiled to a planet where he accidentally creates life. "The Starman shapes and teaches these creatures, evolving them into human-esque forms. They worship him, he instructs them in the building of monuments and a civilization grows. With their help, the Starman is able to travel back to his galactic home. But was the creation he left behind a mistake?" These teasers reveal the humongous Starman creature in all of its glory and splendor, showing just how detailed every aspect of this animation looks. Even with only a tiny bit of footage, I'm hooked. I'll be waiting to watch when it launches.

A Soldier Returns with a Demon in Supernatural Horror 'Refuge' Trailer
"I know you think you found something out there. Or something found him…" Vertical has revealed a full official trailer for an indie horror thriller titled Refuge, made by the acclaimed Finnish action filmmaker Renny Harlin - also of The Strangers; Chapter 1. Apparently he was already in Bulgaria shooting Ninja Fury when local producers contacted him about making Refuge next. After a mysterious attack from a malevolent demon during his tour of duty in Afghanistan, Sergeant Rick Pedroni returns home a changed man, and more dangerous than ever. This is similar to many other solider-returns-home-damaged films but with a supernatural PTSD twist. The film stars Aston McAuley as Rick, Sophie Simnet as his wife Kate, Raza Jaffrey, Johanna Harlin, Shervin Alenabi, Atanas Srebrev, Max Kraus, and Jason Flemyng. This mostly looks like generic horror mashed up with a soldier story, though it does have some scary scenes in it.
