Warner Bros. Debuts Trailer for 'Tomb Raider'[teaser]The video game heroine is heading back to the silver screen.[/teaser] Warner Bros. has released the first official trailer for Tomb Raider. The new adaptation of the popular video game series comes from director Roar Uthaug and stars Academy Award-winning actress Alicia Vikander as Lara Croft. From Warner Bros. Pictures and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Tomb Raider is the story that will set a young and resolute Lara Croft on a path toward becoming a global hero. The film stars Oscar winner Alicia Vikander (Ex Machina, The Danish Girl) in the lead role, under the direction of Roar Uthaug (The Wave), with Oscar-winner Graham King (The Departed) producing under his GK Films banner. The film's production begins on the heels of the 20th anniversary of the wildly popular videogame franchise from Square Enix, Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. Check out the official trailer below! In addition to Vikander, the movie also stars Dominic West (Money Monster, 300), Hannah John-Kamen (Black Mirror, Ready Player One), Walton Goggins (The Hateful Eight, Django Unchained) and Daniel Wu (AMC's Into the Badlands). The Tomb Raider video games were previously adapted for the big screen in Lara Croft: Tomb Raider (2001) from director Simon West and Lara Croft Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life (2003) from director Jan de Bont. The original films starred Angelina Jolie in the title role. This new reboot takes its inspiration from more recent entries in the video game series and comes from a screenplay written by Geneva Robertson-Dworet. The new Tomb Raider is set to hit theaters on March 18, 2018. Source: Warner Bros. (YouTube)Posted Wed Sep 20, 2017 at 08:40 AM PDT by: -
Criterion Details December 2017 Blu-ray Titles[teaser]The distributor has revealed its upcoming slate of December releases, including Alexander Payne's Election.[/teaser] In an early announcement to retailers, Criterion is preparing 100 Years of Olympic Films, General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait, Monterey Pop (Remastered), The Complete Monterey Pop Festival (Remastered), and Election for Blu-ray throughout the month of December. 100 Years of Olympic Films (December 5) - Spanning fifty-three movies and forty-one editions of the Olympic Summer and Winter Games, this one-of-a-kind collection assembles, for the first time, a century’s worth of Olympic films—the culmination of a monumental, award-winning archival project encompassing dozens of new restorations by the International Olympic Committee. These documentaries cast a cinematic eye on some of the most iconic moments in the history of modern sports, spotlighting athletes who embody the Olympic motto of “Faster, Higher, Stronger”: Jesse Owens shattering sprinting world records on the track in 1936 Berlin, Jean Claude-Killy dominating the slopes of Grenoble in 1968, Joan Benoit breaking away to win the first-ever women’s marathon on the streets of Los Angeles in 1984. In addition to the work of Bud Greenspan, the man behind an impressive ten Olympic features, this stirring collective chronicle of triumph and defeat includes such landmarks of the documentary form as Leni Riefenstahl’s Olympia and Kon Ichikawa’s Tokyo Olympiad, along with lesser-known but captivating contributions by major directors like Claude Lelouch, Carlos Saura, and Miloš Forman. It also serves as a fascinating window onto the formal development of cinema itself, as well as the technological progress that has enabled the viewer, over the years, to get ever closer to the action. Traversing continents and decades, and reflecting as well the social, cultural, and political changes that have shaped our recent history, this remarkable marathon of films offers nothing less than a panorama of a hundred years of human endeavor. - 53 newly restored films from 41 editions of the Olympic Games, presented together for the first time- Landmark 4K restorations of Olympia, Tokyo Olympiad, and Visions of Eight, among other titles- New scores for the silent films, composed by Maud Nelissen, Donald Sosin, and Frido ter Beek- A lavishly illustrated, 216-page hardcover book, featuring notes on the films by cinema historian Peter Cowie; a foreword by Thomas Bach, President of the International Olympic Committee; a short history of the restoration project by restoration producer Adrian Wood; and hundreds of photographs from a century of Olympic Games Order the Blu-ray General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait (December 12) - In 1974, Barbet Schroeder went to Uganda to make a film about Idi Amin, the country’s ruthless, charismatic dictator. Three years into a murderous regime that would be responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Ugandans, Amin prepared a triumphal greeting for the filmmakers, staging rallies, military maneuvers, and cheery displays of national pride, and envisioning the film as an official portrait to adorn his cult of personality. Schroeder, however, had other ideas, emerging with a disquieting, caustically funny brief against Amin, in which the dictator’s own endless stream of testimony—charming, menacing, and nonsensical by turns—serves as the most damning evidence. A revelatory tug-of-war between subject and filmmaker, General Idi Amin Dada: A Self-Portrait is a landmark in the art of documentary and an appalling study of egotism in power. - New interview with Schroeder- New interview with journalist and author Andrew Rice about Idi Amin’s regime- PLUS: An essay by critic J. Hoberman Order the Blu-ray Monterey Pop (December 12) - On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll. Monterey featured career-making performances by Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Otis Redding, but they were just a few performers in a wildly diverse lineup that included Simon and Garfunkel, the Mamas and the Papas, the Who, the Byrds, Hugh Masekela, and the extraordinary Ravi Shankar. With his characteristic vérité style—and a camera crew that included the likes of Albert Maysles and Richard Leacock—D. A. Pennebaker captured it all, immortalizing moments that have become legend: Pete Townshend smashing his guitar, Jimi Hendrix burning his, Mama Cass being blown away by Janis Joplin’s performance. The Criterion Collection is proud to present this timeless document of a landmark event. - New 16-bit 4K digital restoration of Monterey Pop, supervised by director D. A. Pennebaker, with uncompressed stereo soundtrack on the Blu-ray- Alternate soundtrack featuring a 5.1 mix by legendary recording engineer Eddie Kramer, presented in DTS-HD Master Audio on the Blu-ray- THE OUTTAKE PERFORMANCES: Two hours of performances not included in Monterey Pop, from the Association, Big Brother and the Holding Company, the Blues Project, the Byrds, Country Joe and the Fish, the Electric Flag, Jefferson Airplane, Al Kooper, the Mamas and the Papas, Laura Nyro, the Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Simon and Garfunkel, Tiny Tim, and the Who (Blu-ray only)- Audio commentary by Pennebaker and festival producer Lou Adler- New interviews with Adler and Pennebaker- Chiefs (1968), a short film by cameraman Richard Leacock, which played alongside Monterey Popduring its inaugural theatrical run- Interview from 2002 with Adler and Pennebaker- Audio interviews with festival producer John Phillips, festival publicist Derek Taylor, and performers Cass Elliot and David Crosby- Photo-essay by photographer Elaine Mayes- Monterey International Pop Festival scrapbook- Trailers and radio spots- More!- PLUS: An essay by critic Michael Chaiken Order the Blu-ray The Complete Monterey Pop Festival (December 12) - On a beautiful June weekend in 1967, at the beginning of the Summer of Love, the first and only Monterey International Pop Festival roared forward, capturing a decade’s spirit and ushering in a new era of rock and roll.

The Criterion Collection is proud to present the most comprehensive document of the Monterey International Pop Festival ever produced, featuring the films Monterey Pop, Jimi Plays Monterey, and Shake! Otis at Monterey, along with every available complete performance filmed by Pennebaker and his crew. - New 16-bit 4K digital restoration of Monterey Pop, supervised by director D. A.

In Alexander Payne’s satire Election, the teacher becomes unhealthily obsessed with cutting his student down to size, covertly backing a spoiler candidate to stop her from steamrolling to victory, and putting in motion a series of dirty tricks and reckless promises with uncanny real-world political parallels. Adapting a then-unpublished novel by Tom Perrotta, Payne grounds the absurdity of his central dynamic in the recognizable—the setting is his hometown of Omaha, and the accomplished cast is rounded out with nonprofessionals—and distills his closely observed take on deeply flawed humanity to its bitter but stealthily sympathetic essence - Audio commentary from 2008 featuring Payne- New interview with Payne- New interview with actor Reese Witherspoon- The Passion of Martin, Payne’s 1991 UCLA senior thesis film- TruInside: “Election,” a 2016 documentary featuring on-set footage and interviews with cast and crew- Omaha local-news reports on the film’s production- More!- PLUS: An essay by critic Dana Stevens Order the Blu-ray You can find the latest specs for all of the titles listed above linked from our Blu-ray Release Schedule, where they're indexed throughout December.Posted Mon Sep 18, 2017 at 10:45 AM PDT by: -

The piece, titled 2048: Nowhere to Run, is the second of three prequel clips that will help fill in the gaps between the original Blade Runner set in 2019 and the upcoming sequel set in 2049.

In Blade Runner 2049, thirty years after the events of the first film, a new blade runner, LAPD Officer K (Ryan Gosling), unearths a long-buried secret that has the potential to plunge what’s left of society into chaos. K’s discovery leads him on a quest to find Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford), a former LAPD blade runner who has been missing for 30 years. The film comes from executive producer Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien, Alien Covenant) and director Denis Villeneuve (Arrival, Prisoners, Sicario).
