It has been a wild ride for the distribution of Pixar Animation Studios’ upcoming film, Soul. Due to the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, the folks at Disney and Pixar have decided to release the film on December 25 to Disney+ rather than move the film to a 2021 theatrical release date. While I’m sad not be able to enjoy the artistry of this Pixar film on the big screen (hopefully, we’ll get a chance in the future), I feel grateful that we at least get to see it this year.
Here’s the latest trailer.
Also, check out this cool track by Jean Batiste who is one of the songwriters on the film.
Here’s the latest poster for the upcoming Disney+ release.
Warner Bros.’ much anticipated film Tenet is opening in U.S. theaters this weekend (at least in markets where movie theaters are open). The talented folks at Poster Posse have created some cool new posters for the film.
Look for a full review coming soon to the Movies Past and Present podcast.
I am ever hopeful that we’ll actually get to see some new movies in an actual theater this fall. One of the first ones out of the gate will be 20th Century Studios’ oft-delayed The New Mutants which is currently scheduled to open in theaters on August 28 (COVID-19 permitting).
Josh Boone, the film’s director, and the film’s main stars did a presentation at last week’s Comic-Con@Home event which is available to view on YouTube.
And, if you can stand it, here’s the first official teaser trailer for the film where, yet again, “The Fast Saga” takes us to a place where the laws of gravity and mortality don’t exist…
Unlike Martin Scorsese, we at Movies Past and Present think the films from Marvel Studios are fun. Check out this new poster and teaser trailer for their upcoming film Black Widow.
We got a bit of a sneak peek of Soul at the 2019 D23 Expo last summer and it looks innovative, introspective, entertaining, and just overall terrific. Can’t wait to see this film.
It’s hard to believe, but the final trailer was finally released today for the highly anticipated conclusion to the episodic Skywalker saga Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (aka Episode IX).
Here’s the trailer:
Here’s the final poster.
And I’m not sure if I ever posted this awesome poster released at the 2019 D23 Expo…love this.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker opens in theaters on December 20.
