So, the official first trailer for the new live-action Ghost in the Shell movie recently came out, and I have to say, it does look pretty good. Apart from the “whitewashing” controversy, which is no small matter, the trailer itself does show a film that seems to stay true to...
The first trailer for Luc Besson’s new film, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, has just come out, and it looks pretty awesome. He’s best know for the hit sci-fi movie The Fifth Element, and Valerian seems to have a similar vibe. You can read a bit more about it on...
