Science fiction not only aspires to tell stories that predict the future and the moral lessons that come from an uncertain path, but much of science fiction is also inspired by the current climate of culture. After movies like The Creator from Gareth Edwards, we may be seeing an influx of AI-related stories. The upcoming Atlas from Netflix has Jennifer Lopez fighting her own war in an exo suit that is run by an AI program that Lopez must trust in order to survive. The new trailer has now premiered online courtesy of Netflix.
The official plot synopsis from Netflix reads,
“Atlas Shepherd (Jennifer Lopez), a brilliant but misanthropic data analyst with a deep distrust of artificial intelligence, joins a mission to capture a renegade robot with whom she shares a mysterious past. But when plans go awry, her only hope of saving the future of humanity from AI is to trust it.

Originally scheduled to come out on Valentine's Day (February 14th), Happy Death Day 2U will now be released one day earlier out of respect for the one-year anniversary of the Parkland school shooting.
Multiple sources, including Entertainment Weekly, share the news of the new Happy Death Day 2U release date, including a statement from Universal Pictures:
“When Universal Pictures became aware last week that the one-year anniversary of the tragic events in Parkland, Florida fell on the Happy Death Day 2U release date, the studio spoke with victim advocates and immediately began the process of changing the release date of the film. Following discussions with its partners in exhibition, Universal will move the North American release date to February 13.
Additionally, the studio has decided not to show the film in Parkland and the surrounding areas. Outdoor, digital and in-theatre marketing for the film will be suspended in that market.

Today brings about a brand new trailer for the upcoming horror sequel to the surprisingly fun Happy Death Day. The "Groundhog Day"-esque slasher flick returns and picks up soon af the events of the first film with an all new twist that puts her friends in danger as well:
This is a pretty solid trailer and I'm digging the horror/comedy vibe (much like the first film) that's also mixed with action and sci-fi elements. There's a lot going on and seeing Jessica Rothe's character taking more action this time around is neat. It's strange, though, that this trailer seems to show even less than the movie's teaser trailer last month. Still, it's a fun reminder that Happy Death Day 2U...

So who’s going to pledge Kappa now that it’s got a death curse on it? That’s one of the questions bedeviling Happy Death Day 2U, the upcoming Valentine’s Day treat from Universal Pictures. The trailer for the follow-up to Blumhouse’s hit 2017 horror-comedy was released today.
The original Happy Death Day took in nearly $123 million worldwide, and production started in May on the sequel. Jessica Rothe and Israel Broussard are back onscreen, with original director Christopher Landon, who wrote the sequel, on board again.
In the first movie, Rothe’s sorority girl Tree Gelbman relives the day of her murder in Groundhog Day style, and Broussard played Carter, a guy she keeps waking up next to. The sequel has Rothe’s Tree confronted with even greater dangers, not least being a knife-wielding killer in a baby mask.

Lest you forget history is doomed to repeat itself, Blumhouse Productions is releasing a sequel to its late-2017 entry into the comedy horror canon, “Happy Death Day.” In the case of “Happy Death Day 2U,” however, history repeating itself is a very good — and chillingly entertaining — thing. The newly released trailer from Universal Pictures recaps the first film while putting protagonist Tree Gelbman (Jessica Rothe) through the ringer of terrifying twists and comic turns once again.
In the original “Happy Death Day,” Rothe plays a college student who is murdered on the night of her birthday, only to wake up and start the same day over again every time she dies. Her never-ending cycle of death ceases only when she finds out the identity of the killer.
In the sequel, Tree discovers her nightmare occurring again, except this time everyone she knows is dying as well. In order to save her friends,...

Jane the Virgin star Gina Rodriguez stars in Miss Bala, the Catherine Hardwicke-directed English-language redo of Gerardo Naranjo’s hard-charging 2011 Spanish-language thriller. Columbia Pictures has set a February 1 release date for the film and took the wraps off the first trailer today.
Rodriguez, in the role Stephanie Sigman portrayed in the original, stars as an American recently arrived in Tijuana who is kidnapped by a cartel and drawn into the dangerous world of cross-border crime. She must use all of her cunning, inventiveness and strength she never knew she had to survive the ordeal. It’s a different kind of strength, to be sure, from what she exhibits on the CW’s flagship dramedy, but judging from this first look she is up to the task as she tightrope-walks between the gang and the feds, all with the singular goal of protecting her family.

Blumhouse horror sequel Happy Death Day 2U ups the ante and meta-minded horror, setting up a bloody Valentine's Day.
Happy Death Day may not have broken the box office with Avengers: Infinity War level might, but the Groundhog Day-influenced 2017 Blumhouse horror flick managed to achieve something impressive in its own right, manifesting as a big bang for the studio’s buck, with the micro-budgeted ($4.8 million) movie managing to reap $55.6 million at the domestic box office, which adds to a total of $122.6 million worldwide. Consequently, sequel prospects quickly glistened like frosting on a Happy Death Day 2U cupcake.
The sequel, titled Happy Death Day 2U, saw original film helmer Christopher B. Landon back in the director's chair, this time working off his own script. He's joined by a returning producer in studio head Jason Blum. Angela Mancuso and John Baldecchi return as executive producers, joined this time by Samson Mucke.

Breaking through a long-standing color barrier, "Precious" director Lee Daniels is the first African-American to be nominated for the Directors Guild of America's best director award.
Kathryn Bigelow, director of "The Hurt Locker," also contributed to the diverse array of nominees announced Thursday, becoming just the seventh woman to be singled out in the DGA's feature film category.
The two will contend for the DGA Award for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film with James Cameron, nominated for "Avatar"; Jason Reitman, who booked a ticket to the awards ceremony with"Up in the Air"; and Quentin Tarantino, who made the cut with "Inglourious Basterds."
The winner will be announced at the 62nd annual DGA Awards on Jan. 30 at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Century City.
"Precious: Based on the Novel 'Push" by Sapphire" has been something of a Cinderella story ever since it first debuted at the 2009 Sundance Film Festival.
