The trailers for the slasher movie “Halloween Kills” and the animated musical comedy film “Sing 2” have been released.
“Halloween Kills” stars Jamie Lee Curtis in the latest “Halloween” franchise. In 2018, David Gordon Green’s “Halloween,” starring Curtis, was a hit, grossing more than $250 million worldwide to become the highest-earning of the movie franchise and setting a new record for the biggest opening weekend in history for a horror film starring a woman.
Evil isn’t over yet this year with “Halloween Kills,” written by Scott Teems (SundanceTV’s “Rectify”), Danny McBride and David Gordon Green based on characters created by John Carpenter and Debra Hill.
In “Halloween Kills,” minutes after Laurie Strode (Curtis), her daughter Karen (Judy Greer) and granddaughter Allyson (Andi Matichak) left masked monster Michael Myers caged and burning in Laurie’s basement, Laurie is rushed to the hospital with life-threatening injuries, believing she finally killed her lifelong tormentor.
Michael manages to escape and resumes his ritual bloodbath. As Laurie fights her pain and prepares to defend herself against him, she inspires all of Haddonfield to rise up against their unstoppable monster. The Strode women join a group of other survivors of Michael’s first rampage who decide to take matters into their own hands, forming a vigilante mob that sets out to hunt Michael down, once and for all.
“Halloween Kills” is from Universal Pictures, Miramax, Blumhouse Productions and Trancas International Films, It also stars Will Patton as Officer Frank Hawkins, Thomas Mann (“Kong: Skull Island”) and Anthony Michael Hall (“The Dark Knight”).
On the other hand, “Sing 2”, the new chapter in Illumination’s smash animated franchise, arrives with big dreams and spectacular hit songs as the ever-optimistic koala, Buster Moon, and his all-star cast of performers prepare to launch their most dazzling stage extravaganza yet …all in the glittering entertainment capital of the world.
There’s just one problem: They first have to persuade the world’s most reclusive rock star—played by global music icon Bono, in his animated film debut—to join them.
Buster (Matthew McConaughey) has turned the New Moon Theater into a local hit, but Buster has his eyes on a bigger prize: Debuting a new show at the Crystal Tower Theater in glamorous Redshore City.
But with no connections, Buster and his cast—including harried mother pig Rosita (Reese Witherspoon), rocker porcupine Ash (Scarlett Johansson), earnest gorilla Johnny (Taron Egerton), shy elephant Meena (Tori Kelly) and, of course, porcine provocateur Gunter (Nick Kroll)—have to sneak their way into the world-famous Crystal Entertainment offices, run by ruthless mogul wolf Jimmy Crystal (Bobby Cannavale).
In a desperate attempt to get Mr. Crystal’s attention, Gunter spontaneously pitches an outrageous idea that Buster quickly runs with, promising that their new show will star lion rock legend Clay Calloway (Bono). Problem is, Buster has never met Clay, an artist who shut himself away from the world more than a decade ago after the loss of his wife.
What begins as a dream of big-time success becomes an emotional reminder of the power of music to heal even the most broken heart.
“Sing 2” is written and directed by acclaimed returning filmmaker Garth Jennings and features additional new characters played by music superstar Pharrell Williams, Black Panther’s Letitia Wright and comedians Eric Andre and Chelsea Peretti.
The film is produced by Illumination founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and by Janet Healy. “Sing 2” combines dozens of classic rock and pop hit songs, electrifying performances, breathtaking artistry and Illumination’s signature humor and heart into the definitive feel-good cinematic event of the year.
