 Ever since Scarlett Johansson first appeared on screen, moviegoers and cinephiles alike fell deeply in love with her. Not only for her strikingly good looks but also her overwhelming talented acting abilities. Johansson has proved since the beginning of her career that she is a force to be reckoned with. She started out in independent films and has continued working on the occasional indie film, but now she’s been eyed for some bigger blockbusters including the Marvel films and the most recent "Ghost in the Shell" film. Becoming one of the most popular actresses working in film today, it is no doubt that Scarlett Johansson will go down as one of the best actresses to hit the screen.

 By Matt Neglia The first teaser trailer for Stephen King's horror classic remake is finally here.
Click below to see the trailer for "It."  By Matt Neglia The first trailer for David Lowery's follow-up to "Pete's Dragon" has been revealed. "A Ghost Story" made quite a splash at Sundance earlier this year and this trailer seems to show why.

Whether it be Netflix or HBO or FX, television creators rival (and even surpass) their cinematic counterparts. While Amazon has seen Emmy success with “Transparent,” they have just secured the writer/director that could be the most in demand right now: “Moonlight’s” Barry Jenkins.

Perhaps this will be the film to spark a chord with audiences and critics alike?

By Matt Neglia Apologies about the wait on this one as we released the podcast recapping our Top 10 Worst/Best of 2016 a few weeks ago but there have been some really cool things I'm working on for Next Best Picture and based on the listens for that episode, I'm sure many of you already know these.

By Josh Tarpley Pixar has been in one of two modes these past years. On one hand, sequels like “Monsters University” and “Finding Dory” have sought to recapture the magic of their past films. On the other hand, movies like “Inside Out” have pushed boundaries, both in terms of animation and emotional content. If the first trailer for “Coco” is any indication, it looks like Pixar is in full on boundary breaking mode again.
Click beyond the jump to see the first footage for “Coco.”  By Josh Tarpley In somewhat unexpected news, Sony is moving forward with a sequel to 2011’s “The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” and has set a release date for October 5, 2018. In definitely unexpected news, neither David Fincher, Rooney Mara nor Daniel Craig will be returning to the franchise. Director Fede Alvarez makes the jump from the horror realm (“Evil Dead,” “Don’t Breathe”) into the dark mystery that is “The Girl in the Spider’s Web.”

Past years have seen the premieres of “Keanu,” “Furious 7,” and even an early cut of “Sausage Party,” all met to wild enthusiasm amongst the festival goers. This year is no different, whether it be hyperkinetic action films ("Baby Driver," "Atomic Blonde"), experimental love stories ("Song to Song") or a behind-the-scenes look at a doomed movie production ("The Disaster Artist"), this year's festival seems to have something for everybody.

I know it's late but I can promise you that our Top 10 Worst/Best Of 2016 list of the final part of the NBP Film Awards is totally worth it.
Thank you and please feel free to subscribe on either SoundCloud, Tunein, GooglePlay, iTunes, Stitcher, Player FM or you can have a listen down below.  By Matt Neglia The trailer for the latest film from Edgar Wright, "Baby Driver" has just hit the web.

Click below to see the trailer.  By Josh Tarpley After 2015’s “Bridge of Spies” and 2016’s “The BFG”, Steven Spielberg isn’t taking anytime to slow down. In addition to being in post-production on “Ready Player One,” he has just signed on to direct “The Post,” a historical drama telling the events of how the 1971 “Pentagon Papers” were leaked to the press. If you weren’t already excited by a politically charged drama by Spielberg, let the fact that the film will star Tom Hanks and Meryl Streep completely sell you on the idea.

We're still trying to recover from the 89th Academy Awards. Now that the dust has settled, Will and I discuss how we feel about the winners and we also discuss the contenders that on paper look like they will be a part of the 2017 Awards Season.
Thank you and please feel free to subscribe on either SoundCloud, Tunein, GooglePlay, iTunes, Stitcher, Player FM or you can have a listen down below.  By Matt Neglia As heard last week on The Next Best Picture Podcast, we unveiled Part 8 of our annual NBP Film Awards which will conclude next week on the Next Best Picture Podcast. For the eighth week of the awards we revealed our picks for "Best Supporting Actress," "Best Supporting Actor," "Best Actress," "Best Actor" & "Best Ensemble."
Click below to see the winners from the Next Best Picture team and let us know in the comments some of your picks and thoughts.  With the 2016 Oscar Season behind us, we now look forward to the future and what the year 2017 is sure to bring us in the form of new Oscar contenders. While many are championing for "Logan" to do what "The Dark Knight" and last year's "Deadpool" was unable to do, we instead are looking a bit more ahead at the contenders that are more likely to get recognition from the Academy based on the talent involved and what they are known to go for. We will be updating our predictions for this year's contenders in the days to come.
