The latest action-packed trailer for Tomorrowland raises the stakes once again

By

Walt Disney Pictures’ upcoming movie Tomorrowland is quietly making a case for itself as a film to look out for this year, and the latest trailer for the science-fiction adventure puts the spotlight on unlikely George Clooney.

Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Brad Bird (The Incredibles), Tomorrowland casts Clooney as a former boy-genius and Britt Robertson as a clever, optimistic teenager whose life is forever changed when she comes into possession of a mysterious pin that transports her to a strange city located somewhere between space and time and filled with amazing technology.

The new trailer offers a glimpse at what happens when the two main characters cross paths, and the wild adventure filled with robots, rocket ships, and a menagerie of sci-fi elements that spins out of their meeting.

Along with releasing the new trailer, Walt Disney Pictures launched the official website for the film. The interactive site lets visitors explore the enigmatic city and offers quite a bit more information about the premise for the film, which is based on the Disney theme park attraction of the same name, taking a page from the billion-dollar Pirates of the Caribbean handbook.

The trailer was also accompanied by an announcement that a special presentation of new footage from Tomorrowland will be screened in IMAX theaters around the world beginning May 1, and an extended preview of the film will screen before IMAX presentations of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Heck, if viewers wait long enough, they may not have to go to the film at all.

Along with Clooney and Robertson, the film stars Hugh Laurie as scientist David Nix, as well as Raffey Cassidy, Tim McGraw, Judy Greer, Kathryn Hahn, Keegan-Michael Key, and Thomas Robinson. The film is based on a screenplay penned by Bird and Lost writer and co-creator Damon Lindelof.

Tomorrowland hits theaters May 22.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)
A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.
The Skin I Live In (2011)

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

The best Netflix original series right now
Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
