Presented as a visual scrapbook, the trailer unfolds through carefully curated still photographs that chronicle a relationship’s most intimate and transformative moments. Rather than traditional narration, it relies on the power of imagery to tell the story.

Starring Dave Franco and Alison Brie, TOGETHER follows a couple as they reflect on the evolution of their love—through joy, heartbreak, and everything in between. The trailer’s restrained, emotive tone suggests a film rooted in the complexities of human connection and the impermanence of time. With a haunting score and tactile visual language, TOGETHER is poised to be one of NEON’s most emotionally resonant releases.

Opening in theaters July 30, the film joins NEON’s growing slate of bold, character-driven storytelling.

From the genre-defying musical Just Sing to the emotionally charged Paradise Records, we examine what makes these titles stand out in a crowded lineup. But there’s one more film—a surprise discovery—that completely flew under our radar until now.

We also dive into the cultural heartbeat of New York City and how its energy continues to inspire new voices in storytelling. With nods to artists like Logic and the cinematic legacy of the city itself, the video celebrates Tribeca’s role as a nexus of film, music, and creative fusion. Founded by Robert De Niro, Jane Rosenthal, and Craig Hatkoff, the festival remains a champion of diverse, independent voices—offering not just premieres, but new perspectives.

The first official clip from Superman (2025) has arrived, offering fans their initial full-scene glimpse into James Gunn’s highly anticipated DC Universe reboot. The clip, which features David Corenswet as Clark Kent, is a quiet, contemplative moment—marking a tonal shift from previous Superman films. Set in Smallville, the scene opens with Clark walking alone through the golden Kansas fields before heading into Metropolis, newspaper in hand.

Rather than starting with a superpowered spectacle, Gunn chooses restraint, leaning into warmth, nostalgia, and Americana. With gentle lens flares, slow dolly shots, and natural light, the cinematography underscores the story’s emotional weight. Lois Lane (Rachel Brosnahan) is teased through a voiceover at the Daily Planet, while John Murphy’s subtle score gives the moment a mythic resonance without overwhelming the human element.

This is Superman as Gunn promised—noble, introspective, and rooted in identity rather than invincibility. If the opening scene is any indication, Superman (2025) may succeed in marrying the emotional clarity of Man of Steel with the sincerity and optimism fans have long hoped to see restored.

Warner Bros. has released a behind-the-scenes look at Superman (2025) titled “Filmed for IMAX®,” giving fans their most immersive peek yet at the scale and ambition behind James Gunn’s DC Universe relaunch. Designed to be experienced in full IMAX 1.90:1 aspect ratio, the footage features sweeping set pieces, towering practical builds, and first glimpses of Superman in flight across expansive American landscapes.

Director James Gunn narrates portions of the video, underscoring his commitment to grounding the film’s spectacle in emotion and character. “We didn’t just want the action to be big,” Gunn says, “we wanted it to feel big—to mean something.” The featurette includes production shots of David Corenswet suited up as Superman, Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor, hinting at the dynamic interplay between hero, journalist, and villain that defines the heart of the film.

The IMAX footage emphasizes natural lighting, large-scale sets, and vivid contrast between Clark Kent’s Kansas roots and the grandeur of his Kryptonian heritage. From cornfields to craters, and newsroom interiors to planetary transmissions, every detail feels constructed to immerse audiences in both myth and intimacy.

The clip ends with Gunn and the crew watching playback on towering IMAX monitors, visibly proud of the visual depth they’re delivering. It’s clear Superman is not just a film—it’s an event calibrated for maximum theatrical impact.

In the latest official clip from James Gunn’s Superman, titled “Knowledge Is Worth Many Sacrifices,” the film pivots away from the grounded realism of its previous teasers to explore Krypton’s haunting legacy. Through a holographic message or recovered memory, Kal-El (David Corenswet) receives a solemn transmission from a Kryptonian elder—likely Jor-El—delivering a poetic warning about sacrifice, heritage, and the cost of wisdom.

Visually drenched in solemn light and alien iconography, the clip leans into the grandeur of Superman’s origins, contrasting the emotional intimacy of Clark Kent’s Earth-bound life with the epic magnitude of his galactic lineage. Corenswet’s silent performance—anchored in awe and grief—emphasizes the film’s dual emotional register: intimate character drama and mythological sci-fi.

As composer John Murphy’s score swells beneath the narration, the scene echoes the classic tones of Man of Steel and Superman: The Movie, while signaling a more philosophical and emotionally complex approach to the Superman mythos. It’s a stirring look at what’s shaping up to be a deeply personal yet universally resonant superhero epic.

A new clip from Superman (2025), titled “Keep An Eye On Him,” has been released, offering a sharp, dialogue-heavy moment that underscores the film’s tonal balance between human stakes and heroic mythology. The scene centers on Clark Kent (David Corenswet) navigating his dual identity while under the wary gaze of law enforcement and federal authorities—hinting at larger tensions between Superman and the institutions meant to protect the world.

Set in a drab government corridor, the clip favors subtle tension over spectacle. Characters exchange loaded glances and clipped dialogue, suggesting that Superman’s arrival hasn’t unified the world—it’s split it. Corenswet’s performance exudes quiet intensity, reinforcing James Gunn’s commitment to portraying Kal-El as both alien and painfully human.

This brief but effective scene continues to support what early looks have promised: a Superman story that blends idealism with realism, and action with internal conflict. With its July 2025 release date drawing closer, anticipation is soaring for the first chapter in DC Studios’ new cinematic universe.

Marvel Studios has released the first official clip from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, offering fans an unexpected look into the emotional core of the upcoming reboot. Titled “Sunday Dinner,” the scene finds the newly formed team—Reed Richards (Pedro Pascal), Sue Storm (Vanessa Kirby), Johnny Storm (Joseph Quinn), and Ben Grimm (Ebon Moss-Bachrach)—sharing a rare moment of calm amid the chaos of their evolving powers and responsibilities.

Set against the backdrop of a quiet evening in the Baxter Building, the clip is more intimate than action-packed, centering on familial chemistry and subtle character beats. Pascal’s Reed anchors the scene with contemplative authority, while Kirby’s Sue provides warmth and resolve. Johnny’s irreverence and Ben’s dry wit round out the dynamic, reminding viewers that this isn’t just a superhero squad—it’s a makeshift family learning to navigate their new reality.

The subdued tone suggests director Matt Shakman (WandaVision) is leaning into emotional storytelling and character development, promising a version of the Fantastic Four that prioritizes interpersonal stakes alongside cosmic spectacle. The film hits theaters July 25, with expectations sky-high for this long-awaited MCU entry.

From acclaimed horror filmmaker Mike Flanagan (The Haunting of Hill House, Doctor Sleep) comes an emotional new adaptation of Stephen King’s The Life of Chuck, starring Tom Hiddleston and Mark Hamill. This official clip offers a first look at the film’s unconventional tone—far from typical King terror, the story unfolds in reverse chronology, beginning with Chuck’s death and tracing his life back through moments of joy, mystery, and loss. The scene, set in an eerie yet oddly tender world, showcases Flanagan’s ability to infuse metaphysical themes with human intimacy.

The adaptation stitches together three seemingly disparate vignettes that eventually coalesce into a portrait of life, death, and cosmic significance. With evocative cinematography, melancholic undertones, and performances that straddle surrealism and sincerity, this clip gives audiences an early taste of a film that promises to be one of the most ambitious King adaptations to date.

In this behind-the-scenes featurette, 28 Years Later director Danny Boyle breaks down the bold visual decision to shoot much of the film on the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Blending real-world chaos with cinematic finesse, the choice created a sense of immediacy, intimacy, and unpredictability—echoing the energy of 28 Days Later while modernizing the aesthetic for a new generation. Through handheld realism, low-light experimentation, and subtle post-production refinement, How It Hitsdives into how mobile filmmaking shaped the sequel’s visceral tone and redefined what’s possible for major motion pictures.

From explosive action to prestige dramas, Prime Video’s July 2025 lineup is a curated blend of crowd-pleasers and hidden gems. Highlights include the long-awaited streaming debut of Saltburn, the psychological crime series Dark Wolf: Terminal List, and Ari Aster’s political slow-burn Eddington. New Amazon Originals, returning fan-favorites, and a spotlight on global cinema round out the platform’s diverse offering. Whether you’re in the mood for romance, thrills, or thoughtful indie fare, there’s something new every week to stream this July on Prime Video.

A24 unveils the first official footage from Eddington, Ari Aster’s genre-defying new film set at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Set in the arid isolation of New Mexico, the story centers on Sheriff Joe Cross (Joaquin Phoenix), a measured enforcer of public health mandates, and Mayor Ted Garcia (Pedro Pascal), a defiant populist whose rhetoric fractures the already tense town. Emma Stone plays Louise Cross, Joe’s conflicted wife, while Austin Butler delivers a chilling performance as cult leader Vernon Jefferson Peak, injecting spiritual extremism into an already divided community. With cinematography by Darius Khondji and a score by Bobby Krlic and Daniel Pemberton, Eddingtoncaptures the paranoia, power plays, and moral erosion of a nation in crisis.

In this fascinating behind-the-scenes feature, acclaimed trailer editor Bill Neil unpacks what makes a trailer unforgettable. Drawing on decades of experience crafting previews for some of Hollywood’s biggest films, Neil walks us through the anatomy of a great trailer—how a single sound cue can change the emotional trajectory, why silence can be more powerful than dialogue, and how the best cuts are built on rhythm, not just story.

Featuring iconic examples from Mad Max: Fury Road, The Social Network, Jaws, The Shining, and Inception, this video essay offers an insider’s look at the precision and psychology behind the trailers that shaped modern cinema. Equal parts film school and love letter to the art of editing, it’s a must-watch for anyone who cares about how movies first hook us.

The first official clip from Paul Thomas Anderson’s One Battle After Another has arrived. Titled “Baby,” the scene offers a restrained but emotionally loaded moment featuring Leonardo DiCaprio in what may be one of his most vulnerable performances to date.

Set in the American heartland during an unspecified postwar period, One Battle After Another appears to be a meditation on generational trauma, masculinity, and the silent wars waged within domestic spaces. The clip showcases Anderson’s signature stillness and emotional geometry—long takes, lingering silences, and dialogue that hints at a deeper rupture beneath the surface. DiCaprio’s character remains unreadable yet exposed, as Anderson captures a man circling a confrontation he’s not ready to have.

Shot on 35mm with the director’s frequent collaborators behind the camera, “Baby” suggests the film’s power lies not in spectacle but in emotional precision. With Anderson returning to stripped-down storytelling, One Battle After Another is shaping up to be one of the year’s most anticipated auteur-driven dramas.

In this behind-the-scenes featurette from A24, musician and composer Michelle Zauner—better known as Japanese Breakfast—breaks down the creative process behind her original song for Materialists, the highly anticipated film from Past Lives director Celine Song. Zauner discusses how the film’s themes of longing, illusion, and modern love informed her lyrical choices and sound palette, crafting a track that acts as an emotional echo to the film’s stylish and seductive tone. Combining candid studio footage, scoring sessions, and director insight, this video is an intimate glimpse into how music and image intertwine in one of the summer’s most artful releases.

In an era dominated by digital filmmaking, Jurassic World Rebirth takes a bold creative turn—embracing 35mm film to capture its prehistoric thrills with new depth and timeless grain. This behind-the-scenes featurette showcases the visual transformation brought by director Gareth Edwards and DP Greig Fraser, who sought to ground the blockbuster spectacle in a more tactile, cinematic tradition. With interviews, onset footage, and side-by-side comparisons, this video offers a rare look at how format choices shape narrative tone, image quality, and nostalgia. For fans of Jurassic Park and modern cinephiles alike, this is a glimpse at the craftsmanship behind the rebirth of a legacy.
