Black Adam – the final trailer reveals the iconic villain and the return of an anticipated character


Black Adam

Black Adam tells the origins of the DC anti-hero, played by Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

Black Adam is – at the moment – the only DC cinecomic scheduled for 2022. Amidst problems related to post-production and legal troubles for the performers, Warner Bros. was in fact forced to modify a large part of the DCEU release list. The fate of the comic-based Universe is therefore on the shoulders of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. After numerous leaks, photos, and official trailers, the film shows itself in the latest, spectacular trailer, which portrays the hero in serious danger and anticipates numerous and unpredictable implications of the plot.


Black Adam: the – many – previews contained in the final trailer

Black Adam, directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, will be available in cinemas from 21 October 2022 and will tell the story of a character little known to the general public. The film will therefore be configured as an origin story, of which you have a first glimpse in the trailer. In fact, the movie opens with a voiceover that explains the origin of the anti-hero’s powers, born from the anger of having lost his son – sacrificed himself to save his life – and therefore considered more a curse than a gift.

The trailer then shows, for the first time, the return of Amanda Waller, played – as happened in Suicide Squad and in the James Gunn reboot – by Viola Davis. Waller appears, in this version, to be very closely linked to the Justice Society of America – a group of superheroes from Golden Age DC – who will appear alongside Black Adam. 

In the film, to lend body and voice to the members of the team are Pierce Brosnan – Doctor Fate -, Aldis Hodge – Hawkman -, Noah Centineo – Atom Smasher -, Quintessa Swindell – Cyclone. But the surprises don’t end there. In fact, the clip ends with a shot showing the cinecomic villain, the fearsome and demonic Sabbac, shot only from behind, while facing Hawkman. To find out more about Waller’s role and Sabbac’s appearance, all that remains is to wait until 21 October.

Knock at the Cabin – evil "knocks on the door" in the first enigmatic trailer of the film by M. Night Shyamalan


Knock at the Cabin

Knock at the Cabin will debut in theaters on February 3, 2023.

M.Night Shyamalan, one of the most popular filmmakers of recent decades, is ready to return to the cinema with his new horror project, Knock at the Cabin (in Italy it will arrive in cinemas with the title Bussano Alla Porta), based on the novel The Cabin at the End of the World by Paul Tremblay. The film – expected for February 3, 2023, distributed by Universal – is ready to show itself in the first, enigmatic and disturbing, trailer.

Knock at the Cabin – plot, trailer, and cast of the horror by M. Night Shyamalan

At the moment little is known about the plot of Knock at the Cabin, but judging by the first images of the trailer and the first comments leaked online, the film would be part of the “home invasion” horror genre. M. Night Shyamalan revealed that the film is the script he wrote in the least amount of time and that the final draft was just a hundred pages long. According to some sources, the atmosphere of Knock at the Cabin is reminiscent of another director’s masterpiece, The Visit.

At the center of the story is a gay couple, formed by Eric and Andrew, happily married and parents of a 7-year-old girl, Wen. To lend body and voice to the two protagonists are respectively Ben Aldridge (Fleabag, Pennyworth) and Jonathan Groff – known to the general public for his role in the Netflix series Mindhunter and in Matrix Resurrections. 

Interpreting the four psychopaths who besiege the hut of the couple – lost in the woods of New Hampshire – are instead Nikki Amuka-Bird (Old), Dave Bautista – Drax of the MCU, coming soon on Netflix in the sequel to Knives Out -, Rupert Grint – Ron Weasley in the Harry Potter saga, formerly directed by Shyamalan in the Apple Servant series -, and Abby Quinn. The director returns to the cinema after the success of Old, which hit the box office all over the world in the summer of 2021, while not totally convincing critics and audiences.
