Obi-Wan Kenobi Trailer

"The key to hunting Jedi… is patience." Get ready - this might give you the chills! Disney has revealed the first teaser trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi, their next big Star Wars streaming series debuting this summer. It will drop on Disney+ starting in May. The series begins with Obi-Wan watching over Luke Skywalker on Tatooine, ten years after the events of Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith, and takes the character on a "rollicking adventure." The series stars Ewan McGregor, reprising his role as the iconic Jedi Master, and also marks the return of Hayden Christensen in the role of Darth Vader. Joining the cast are Moses Ingram, Joel Edgerton (returning in this as Owen Lars), Bonnie Piesse, Kumail Nanjiani, Indira Varma, Rupert Friend, O'Shea Jackson Jr., Sung Kang, Simone Kessell, plus Benny Safdie. Using the iconic "Duel of the Fates" song in this teaser is almost a cheat, c'mon!! It's too much. Everything about this looks incredible so far! Let's just hope it's as thrilling as the other series - can't wait to see more.

Here's the first teaser trailer (+ poster) for Disney+'s series Obi-Wan Kenobi, direct from YouTube:

The story in this new series begins 10 years after the dramatic events of Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith, where Obi-Wan Kenobi faced his greatest defeat—the downfall and corruption of his best friend and Jedi apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, who turned to the dark side as the evil Sith Lord Darth Vader. Obi-Wan Kenobi is a six episode mini-series directed by Canadian filmmaker Deborah Chow, director of the film The High Cost of Living previously, plus lots of TV work including "Reign", "The Man in the High Castle", "Fear the Walking Dead", and "The Sin" + "The Reckoning" episodes of "The Mandalorian". The series is written by Joby Harold. Executive produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Michelle Rejwan, Deborah Chow, Ewan McGregor, and Joby Harold. Star Wars film composer John Williams wrote the main theme for the series. Disney will debut the new Obi-Wan Kenobi series streaming on May 25th, 2022 this summer. Look good?

The frightmasters at Blumhouse have come up with their most terrifying idea yet! They’re developing…*checks notes*…a  Fantasy Island movie! Yes, that’s right – a film based on the 1970s Aaron Spelling series about an island where all your dreams can come true…for a price.  Jeff Wadlow , who directed Blumhouse’s  Truth or Dare , will helm the TV-to-film adaptation. Even if you’ve never seen a single episode of  Fantasy Island , I’m betting you’re familiar with it.

The plane!” Here are the rather whimsical opening credits. Fantasy Island According to Deadline , the folks at Blumhouse took one look at this and said, “We’re making that a movie.”  Truth or Dare director Jeff Wadlow will be behind the camera, and he’ll also co-write the film with his  Truth or Dare writers  Chris Roach and Jillian

The 14 Most Dangerous Mission: Impossible Stunts, Ranked Worst To Best

Image
"Mission: Impossible" premiered on CBS in 1966 as an upside down "Topkapi" riff that left the conniving to the good guys. For creator Bruce Geller, expertise was the point. Characters and plots were left blank and blurry, forcing viewers to join the Impossible Missions Force or be left in the high-tech dust. Fun only got in the way; Geller famously scolded star Peter Graves for smiling at the end of an episode. In 1996, director Brian De Palma reinvented the series as a star vehicle for Tom Cruise, and it's nothing but fun. The second film even includes a joke about how its star can't stop smiling. The fuse burns brighter than ever and expertise remains the native tongue, but "Mission: Impossible" has carved a new legacy in theaters -- mainly, its reputation for showing off knuckle-whitening, insurance-defying stunts, often performed by Cruise himself. Factoring in franchise importance and danger inherent, the following 14 examples are the best
