Shazam! Chinese Exclusive Trailer
A new Chinese exclusive trailer for Shazam! has arrived. The latest DC superhero film stars Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer and Mark Strong, with David F. Sandberg in the director’s chair. Shazam! opens on April 5, 2019, with a special early engagement on March 23.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong).
Long Shot Red Band Trailer
Directed by Jonathan Levine, Long Shot stars Seth Rogen and Charlize Theron. The film is set for release on May 3, 2019.
He’s a hard-hitting political writer with a talent for trouble. She’s the country’s top diplomat with a talent for…well, everything. When Fred Flarsky reunites with his first crush who also happens to be the current US Secretary of State, Charlotte Field, he charms her with his self-deprecating humor and his memories of her youthful idealism. As she prepares to make a surprise run for the Oval Office, Charlotte hires Fred to punch up her campaign speeches and their unmistakable chemistry leads to a round-the-world affair. But Fred’s carefree indiscretions, past and present, could bring down her campaign before it even begins. The film redefines “international relations” with a profane, funny and unexpected love.
Charlie Says Trailer
Written by Guinevere Turner and directed by Mary Harron, the film reunites the two after their collaboration on American Psycho. Charlie Says stars Hannah Murray, Suki Waterhouse and Matt Smith as the titular character. The film arrives on May 17th.
Years after the shocking murders that made the name Charles Manson synonymous with pure evil, the three women who killed for him — Leslie Van Houten, Patricia Krenwinkel and Susan Atkins — remain under the spell of the infamous cult leader.
