USA DAWN: NEWS AND UPDATES

First trailer for Selena Gomez’s passion  project 13 Reasons Why looks for clues  in a teen suicide. “I’m about  to  tell you the story of my life,” intones the voice in the first  13 Reasons Why  trailer. “More specifically, why my life ended.”  Netflix will explore what drove a a teenager  to  commit suicide on their upcoming series  13 Reasons Why , based on  the  New York Times best-selling book by Jay Asher. The series is being co-produced by Selena Gomez, who will not appear on screen. 13 Reasons Why   will  be directed by Tom McCarthy, who recently won an Oscar for  Spotlight .  The  series was written by Tony and Pulitzer Prize Winner Brian Yorkey ( Next to Normal ). The 13-episode series will focus on Clay (Dylan Minnette), a high school student  who  receives a series of cassette tapes from his friend Hannah (Katherine Langford) explaining why she committed suicide jus...

Disney has released the first full trailer for its live action remake of  Beauty and the Beast , which is set to release in cinemas next year. Coming after a teaser trailer that didn’t reveal too much about the movie, this new clip offers glimpses of many of the characters fans will remember from the original. We see Gaston (Luke Evans) rallying an angry mob, presumably for an assault on the Beast’s castle, as well as a brief snippet of one of his musical numbers. Belle’s father also features prominently in the new trailer, played here by Kevin Kline. Unsurprisingly, the animated portion of the cast is also given plenty of focus in this clip. Ewan McGregor’s French accent looks likely to define his performance as Lumière, while the strength of the cast is demonstrated by appearances from Cogsworth (Ian McKellen) and Mrs. Potts (Emma Thompson). All this being said, the star of the show is undoubtedly the Beast himself. Even a few years ag...

A Ram Rebel and a Dodge Challenger police car feature, too. Way back in the warm, sunny days of June, we reported on a rather strange looking Chrysler-badged limousine spotted during filming for the latest installment in the  Wolverine saga. Now, with the first trailer for  Logan  (or  Wolverine 3 , if you prefer its informal name) hitting the internet, we're getting another look at the odd limo, along with a few other offerings from Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. There's a flock of "Federal Police" Rams and a spinning, bluish-green Rebel – we're guessing Wolverine and Professor Xavier stole it from some kind of work crew – judging by the gold-ish decals on the door and the work box in the bed. Our look at the Chrysler limo isn't great, although it does appear in two scenes of the trailer. We're thinking these shots are connected, and here's why. Our first sighting comes in a cemetery, where the hulking limo sits in the background while Wo...

THE LATEST TRAILER  for  Rogue One: A Star Wars Story  is here—and those of you who were hoping for a little more backstory finally get your wish. In the combat-packed, two-and-a-half-minute clip, we learn that Jyn Erso (Felicity Jones) has been drafted into the Rebel cause partly because her long-missing father, Galen Erso (Mads Mikkelsen), was needed to help build the Death Star—a turn-of-events that will no doubt force Jyn to spend thousands of credits on therapy. The rest of the teaser delivers plenty of action, with X-wings tearing across the sky, AT-ATs stomping on the beach, and a briefly glimpsed Darth Vader, who, as usual, appears to be marching while miffed. We’ll have to wait until December 16 to fully go  Rogue , but for now, we’ve got a good feeling about this. Pause at:  1:43, when Jyn and pals appear to be disguising themselves as Imperial baddies in order to infiltrate the Death Star—a ploy that will feel oddly familiar to the ...

Grab your Master Balls, everybody, because we just got our first trailer for  Pokémon Sun and Moon , and we’re breaking it all down on today’s  Nerdist News ! This is a major cuteness alert, because  Nintendo  just graced us with two whole minutes of the latest installments of our favorite Pocket Monster series—including introductions to the three new starter  Pokémon  and a glimpse into the gameplay of the all-new Alola Region. Oh, and we’ve also got a piece of the  Deadpool  set to give away — details below! In this sneak peek, we see that the Hawaiian-inspired world, Alola, looks like a more tropical land than we’ve seen in the past, embracing greenery, palm trees, and oceans aplenty. We also get a glimpse at three brand new  adorable  starter Pokémon. In classic Poké-fashion, we have one grass-type, one fire, and one water as we meet Rowlet: a grass and flying type owl, Litten, a fire-breathing cat Pokémon, and Popplio, a wat...

Marvel unveils the first look at footage from their next superhero origin movie The Marvel Cinematic Universe is about to be turned upside down — and inside out. The release of “Captain America: Civil War,” which pits hero against hero, is just weeks away from its May 6 opening, and the first trailer for “Doctor Strange,” starring  Benedict Cumberbatch , promises even bigger and weirder things ahead for the Marvel Studios franchise. The teaser trailer debuted late Tuesday night on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” — but after Kimmel and Cumberbatch had a little fun goofing on each other using the show’s “Wall of America.” See what happens when the host coaxes the star into trying his hand at a magic act: The trailer itself gives the audience a taste of Dr. Stephen Strange’s origin story: how he went from being a brilliant surgeon to desperately seeking greater truths. That leads him to the Ancient One ( Tilda Swinton ), who trains him to become the S...
