Winston Duke And Zazie Beetz Explore The Meaning Of Life In 'Nine Days' [TRAILER]

October 15, 2020

Nine Days is the feature film directorial debut for Edson Oda, a Japanese Brazilian writer/director based in Los Angeles, and what a debut it was! The film took the Sundance Film Festival by storm, snagging the coveted Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for a U.S. Drama in the process. I don’t want to speak too soon, but something tells me we will be hearing Edson Oda’s name plenty in the near future.

The story-line for the existential fantasy drama is described to perfection by the Sundance Institute below:

“What if being born is not the beginning but the goal? In a house distant from the reality we know, a reclusive man named Will interviews prospective candidates—personifications of human souls—for the privilege he once had: to be born. Five contenders emerge. During the course of nine days, Will tests each of them, but he can choose only one. The victor will be rewarded with a coveted opportunity to become a newborn in the real world, while the others will cease to exist—nine days is everything they’ll ever experience.

Supernatural, metaphysical, and packed with the deepest, most human emotions, this spiritual child of Charlie Kaufman and Michel Gondry will hit you in the head and the heart. Propelled by an extraordinary performance from Winston Duke as Will and buoyed by a stunning supporting cast of highly accomplished actors, Nine Days marks not only the feature debut but the cinematic birth of writer-director Edson Oda, a singular, visionary artist.”
— Sundance Institute

Filmmaking is an art form, and for me when you leave the theater feeling like you experienced something that changed you in some way, that really is what it’s all about. From Mandalay Pictures, the cast includes Winston Duke, Zazie Beetz, Benedict Wong, Bill Skarsgård, Tony Hale, and David Rysdahl.

Sony Pictures Classics is set to release Nine Days on January 22nd, 2021. Watch the trailer below.

Disney-Pixar's Animated Comedy 'Soul' Set To Hit Disney+ This Christmas [TRAILER]

October 15, 2020

From Academy Award-winning director Pete Docter (Monsters, Inc., Up, Inside Out) and Kemp Powers (co-director), Soul is the latest Disney-Pixar release.

Joe Gardner (voiced by Jamie Foxx) – is a middle-school band teacher who gets the chance of a lifetime to play at the best jazz club in town. Unfortunately, a fateful accident takes him from the streets of New York City to The Great Before – a special place where new souls get their personalities, quirks and interests (think Inside Out meets Coco) before they make their final adventure to Earth.

Confident that he deserves another chance on earth, Joe teams up with a unique and adventurous soul, 22 (voiced by Tina Fey), who has never understood the appeal of the human experience. While Joe does his best to show 22 what’s so great about living, he may just discover the answers to some of life’s most important questions.

Disney-Pixar films rarely miss the mark, and in the last 5 years or so two of my favorites have been Inside Out (2015), and Coco (2017). I really like the balance of real-life and comedy, providing viewers with plenty of heart and humor and this feels like yet another feather in their cap.

Soul is set to drop on the Disney+ streaming service December 25th. Watch the latest trailer below.

In their desperate battle for survival, the unit encounters the mysterious Hunter (Tony Jaa), whose unique skills allow him to stay one step ahead of the powerful creatures. As Artemis and Hunter slowly build trust, she discovers that he is part of a team led by the Admiral (Ron Perlman). Facing a danger so great it could threaten to destroy their world, the brave warriors combine their unique abilities to band together for the ultimate showdown.”
