The Goonies‘ Teaser Trailer Was the Most Ambitious Crossover Event in History

While everyone remembers The Goonies’ full, very ‘80s-appropriate trailer that introduces its characters and a significant chunk of its plot, there was also a very clever teaser trailer that, for a brief period of time, was shown in theaters during the months before the film’s release. It’s a far cry from what we’d describe as…

The Films of Amblin Gets a Deservedly Beautiful and Nostalgic Art Show

The Amblin projects of the ‘70s, ‘80s, and ‘90s are more than mere films. They’re our memories, our fears, our dreams. Jaws scared us from going into the water. The Goonies got us to jump on our bikes and go off on an adventure. E.T. helped us believe in aliens. And next week, two of…

The Original Men in Black Marked a Transition of the Hollywood Blockbuster

When most of us think of the original Men in Black, it’s not that significant. It’s a blip on the blockbuster scale. A film that used Will Smith at his prime, had a hit pop song in its credits, and spawned a few sequels. Watching it now though—over 20 years since its 1997 release, on…

An Animated Gremlins Prequel Series Is Suddenly a Thing We Desperately Need

We’ve been waiting for a third Gremlins movie for years, but it looks like the next best thing might be on the horizon: an animated series all about the lovable critters (lovable until you feed them after dark, get them wet, or expose them to bright light, that is…then all bets are off). Variety broke…

The New House With a Clock in Its Walls Trailer Feels Magical and Adventurous

The first trailer for The House With a Clock in Its Walls was… fine. Cool visuals, great cast, but tonally, it felt a bit awkward. Well, that’s gone in this second trailer, which ups the wish-fulfillment, fantasy, and adventure elements in a way that will get you very excited. Directed by Eli Roth, The House…

No One Wants an Arachnophobia Remake, But James Wan Is Giving Us One Anyway

Arachnophobia is one of those movies that gets scarier the less you remember it. Because you want to forget. Because it’s giant spiders. Sadly, Amblin Entertainment won’t let us forget, as it has teamed up with Aquaman director James Wan to remake the 1990 horror comedy. As reported by Deadline, Amblin and Wan’s Atomic Monster…

The House With a Clock in Its Walls Trailer Features a Whole Different Kind of Haunted House

The latest film from the director of Hostel and Cabin Fever features a house so haunted, it has its own heart. However, despite Eli Roth’s reputation, this isn’t a gory horror movie. It’s produced by Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment, which means the scares are fun for the whole family! Starring Jack Black and Cate Blanchett,…
