Onwards we plough towards the almighty Oscars; the Super Bowl just happened, and many Oscar-nominated films have been released in cinema. This can only mean one thing… this week’s watchlist is going to rock. Including the ‘Ghost In The Shell’ Super Bowl spot and much, much more.
‘Ghost In The Shell’ – Superbowl Spot
The highly-scrutinized, westernised movie version of the much-loved Japense manga is set to be released next month, and Paramount is pulling out all the stops in its promotional efforts. A new trailer for ‘Ghost In The Shell’ premiered online just before its worldwide debut as one of the many anticipated Super Bowl advertisements. The film stars Scarlett Johansson in a role that should probably be played by someone Japanese… but let’s leave it at that. Aside from that, the movie’s cinematography and graphics look excellent.
‘Jackie’ – Blu Ray & DVD Release US / UK
The Natalie Portman-fronted ‘Jackie’ has been making its rounds at many awards shows across the globe. Now, with the commercial praise matching that of its critical praise, the general public will be able to own this beauty on March 7th. I’ve just recently seen the movie and it is… stunning. Just stunning. The costumes, the performances, the script. Get this beauty!
‘Transformers: The Last Knight’ Superbowl Spot
The 5th film in the critically panned yet commerically successful megamovie franchise ‘Transformers’ is set to be released this summer. With Mark Wahlberg returning from the 4th entry and of course director Michael Bay, this film is set to smash the box office once it opens up. Paramount yet again are forking out big bucks to get this film in front of the 100 million+ audience the Super Bowl brings in. The film actually looks… interesting? Have a watch below!
