Alice Trailer

“Who are you then?” “I’m free.” Vertical has revealed the first official trailer for Alice, which just premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival a few weeks ago. The drama involves an interesting story similar to The Village – Sundance sets up film’s the concept: “Alice spends her days enslaved on a rural Georgia plantation restlessly yearning for freedom. After a violent clash with plantation owner Paul, Alice flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon discovering that the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned Black activist named Frank, Alice uncovers the lies that have kept her enslaved and the promise of Black liberation.” Alice stars Keke Palmer, with Common, Gaius Charles, and Jonny Lee Miller. The second half plays like a 70s blaxploitation film, which is the vibe this trailer is going for. I saw this already and it’s not so bad. Worth a look if the premise intrigues you.

Here’s the official trailer (+ poster) for Krystin Ver Linden’s Alice, direct from Vertical’s YouTube:

Alice Poster

Alice (Keke Palmer) yearns for freedom as an enslaved person on a rural Georgia plantation under its brutal and disturbed owner Paul (Jonny Lee Miller). After a violent clash with Paul, she flees through the neighboring woods and stumbles onto the unfamiliar sight of a highway, soon discovering that the year is actually 1973. Rescued on the roadside by a disillusioned political activist named Frank (Common), Alice quickly comprehends the lies that have kept her in bondage and the promise of Black liberation. Inspired by true events, Alice is a modern empowerment story tracing Alice’s journey through the post-Civil Rights Era American South. Alice is written and directed by first-time filmmaker Krystin Ver Linden, making her feature directorial debut with this film. Produced by Peter Lawson. It premiered at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival this year. Vertical will release Alice in select US theaters on March 18th, 2022 next month.

Watch: Adorable Animated Short ‘Crush’ About Cable Cars in Love by Alex Billington February 18, 2022 Source: Vimeo This might just be the sweetest short film you’ll see all year. Crush is an adorable 3-minute animated short made by a French animation collective called MegaComputeur (from their site: “We love telling stories and bringing characters to life… Especially dumb characters.”) and it’s a must watch . It was commissioned by the French Alps ski resort Val Thorens and it’s a delightful short about two cable cars in love. A scrap dealer about to crush an old 80s cable car imagines what life was like for two mountain lovers on cables. The character designs are so cute and I love how pure their love is – sharing fondue and snacks together, relaxing in a hot tub, making snowmen. Yes, I can confirm that this definitely makes me want to visit the mountains. I always adore these kind of warm, charming animated shorts that are meant to make you smile and laugh. Thanks to S...

Full US Trailer for Creepy Icelandic Thriller ‘Lamb’ with Noomi Rapace by Alex Billington July 27, 2021 Source: YouTube “It’s not a child. It’s an animal.” Someone loves their little lamb a bit too much. A24 has revealed an official US trailer for an unsettling film from Iceland called Lamb , which just premiered at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival earlier this month. A childless couple in rural Iceland make an alarming discovery one day in their sheep barn. They will soon face the consequences of defying the will of nature, in this dark and atmospheric folktale. This one is described in reviews as a “highly original take on the anxieties of being a parent, a tale in which nature plus nurture yields a nightmare.” The film stars Noomi Rapace (who is actually Swedish but she moved to Iceland as a child where she spent some time growing up), Björn Hlynur Haraldsson , and Hilmir Snær Guðnason . This looks like it starts out as an intriguing story about connecting with a little lamb...
