 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 Josh Tarpley Paul Greengrass (“Captain Phillips,” “Jason Bourne”) has lined up his next project over at Paramount Pictures and it has prohibition-era America as its setting. Greengrass will partner with screenwriter Brian Helgeland (“L.A. Confidential,” “42”) to create “Ness,” an adaptation of the graphic novel by Brian Michael Bendis and Mark Andreyko. The film will focus on famed prohibition agent Eliot Ness and looks to be something new for the Bourne director.
Click beyond the jump to learn more about “Ness.”  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.

By Matt Neglia The first full length trailer for "Justice League" has come out and it is directed by everyone's favorite director, Zack Snyder after the critically ridiculed and financial disappointment of "Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice" failed to light the world on fire. Perhaps this will be the film to spark a chord with audiences and critics alike?
Click below to check out the trailer.  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.

For those that were huge fans of Screenwriter/Director Martin McDonagh's "In Bruges" & "Seven Psychopaths" will find a lot to enjoy in the trailer for filmmaker Martin McDonagh's third outing "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." The film stars Frances Mcdormand, Woody Harrelson, Sam Rockwell, Abbie Cornish, Peter Dinklage & John Hawkes. Click below to check out the trailer.  By Matt Neglia Fox Searchlight has released the trailer for the new Rachel Weisz starring vehicle called "My Cousin Rachel." It is directed by Roger Mitchell who audiences may be familiar with from his works "Notting Hill," "Venus" & "Hyde Park On Hudson and also stars Sam Claflin, Iain Glen & Holliday Grainger.
Click below to check out the trailer.  By Josh Tarpley “Frank” and “Room” director Lenny Abrahamson has found his next project in the form of “Burning Rainbow Farm.” The film will be produced by Anonymous Content (“Spotlight,” “The Revenant”) and Film4 (“Under The Skin,” “Frank”), and adapt the book of the same name by Dean Kuipers. “Burning Rainbow Farm” will tackle the real life story of Rainbow Farm, a marijuana-friendly community that ended up being raided by the FBI.

This week on Episode 30, it's just myself and Kristen Lopez as we discuss the latest film news, answer some fan questions and discuss the trailer for Edgar Wright's "Baby Driver." We also talk details surrounding the new HD giveaway, so be sure to listen for a chance to win.

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.”
Click beyond the jump to learn more about sequel/reboot.  By Will Mavity If Oscar nominated composer Lin Manuel-Miranda missed out on an Oscar win for "Moana" in 2016, he won’t need to wait until the "In The Heights" film adaptation is eventually released to have a second chance at Oscar glory. Miranda will find himself in the Oscar race once again this year thanks to an Original Song he is reportedly composing for Blue Sky Animation’s "Ferdinand."
 By Josh Tarpley The South By Southwest Festival has always been a good venue to debut energetic films to an even more energetic audiences. 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. Starring Ansel Elgort, Jamie Foxx, Lily James, Kevin Spacey, Jon Bernthal, Jon Hamm & Meryl Streep, the film is expected to hit theaters August 11th.
Click below to see the trailer.  By Josh Tarpley El Chapo is one of the most intriguing figures in the criminal world. Apart from his criminal enterprise as one of the most powerful drug traffickers in the world, El Chapo found himself in the headlines several times for breaking out of prison (leading to massive manhunts). This has lead to many books and now two films in development based on his exploits.
Click beyond the jump to read about Sony’s attempt to capture this man on film.  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.
