A philosophical voice-over talks about stars, galaxies, children's stories and science fiction. It wraps up with a lovely look at the Enterprise speeding through space.

Strange New Worlds will last for 10 installments, with new episodes streaming weekly. The teaser doesn't drop any major plot points, but it does give an intriguing peek into a new Trek universe where horses and spaceships can share a scene.

MORBIUS


Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While at first it seems to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil – or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?

The popularity of Morbius stems from Marvel's dive into horror comics in the early 1970s. Just a little bit before the Satanic panic of the '80s, Marvel Comics introduced a slew of dark, edgy characters like Blade, Moon Knight, Man-Thing, Werewolf by Night, and Ghost Rider, as well as comic book series like The Tomb of Dracula and the anthology series Crypt of Shadows. In contrast to Marvel's usual superheroes, these horror comics were darker and sometimes aimed at an older audience (though kids still ate them up).


In the comics, Morbius isn’t a villain eternally doomed to be bad. Yes, being an accidental vampire leaves Morbius prone to some bad behavior, but the guy has proven in the comics he’s capable of helping people, too.


Trivia: The character of Morbius can also be glimpsed in the bonus features of the Blade (1998) DVD, in a deleted ending.

The New York scenes were actually filmed in Manchester's Northern Quater, United Kingdom. All city lights, signs, and license plates were changed to match to those found in New York.


Release Date: 01, April 2022.

Knights of Ren Trailer Leak - Fan Film


This latest fake trailer took aim at a Star Wars wish list entry and had a lot of fans questioning whether the short video was actually a fake at all. The opening title cards and the LucasFilm tags are all exactly as you would expect in an official Star Wars project, well-known voiceover ties into The Force Awakens, the footage of a black-clad figure leaping from a TIE Fighter and onto an X-wing before slicing the spacecraft with a lightsaber is almost as perfectly cinematic as you can get, and the end title reveals even has the “A Star Wars Story” subtitle perfectly in place. As many pointed out, fake trailers don’t get any better, but there is no doubt that it is still just a fake trailer.

The Knights of Ren made their namedrop debut in Star Wars: The Force Awakens as well as appearing in visions before making their first proper appearance in The Rise of Skywalker. However, their general use in the movies was thought to be wasted by many fans, and while the comics have since expanded on their history, fans still want to see more of them on screen. Apparently, someone decided to put together their own amazing, but still fake, teaser and let the internet just imagine the possibilities.

Jurassic World Dominion - Official Trailer

The popular dinosaur saga has evolved. In Jurassic World: Dominion, the sequel to 2018's Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom, the infamous prehistoric monsters have escaped into the wild, meaning the human race has to learn how to live on a planet with creatures that died out 65 million years earlier. We'll give you three guesses as to how well this will work out.

Jurassic World: Dominion also marks the end of a trilogy that began with 2015’s Jurassic World, and will complete the story that iconic filmmaker Steven Spielberg began nearly 30 years ago with his ground-breaking adaptation of Michael Crichton’s bestselling novel.

Trivia:  A never-before-seen new dinosaur called the "Pyroraptor" (fire thief) will be in the film. It gets its name due to its remains being discovered after a forest fire occurred.

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power

Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, and will take viewers back to an era in which great powers were forged, kingdoms rose to glory and fell to ruin, unlikely heroes were tested, hope hung by the finest of threads, and the greatest villain that ever flowed from Tolkien’s pen threatened to cover all the world in darkness. Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone. Amazon Studios
