Sony Pictures opens its Christmas tent-pole Passengers on Dec. 21 and it isn’t taking any chances in drumming up interest for the space-set romance thriller. In its first clip for the movie, the studio has chosen to release a gravity loss scene featuring Jennifer Lawrence in a revealing white swimsuit.
Well played, Sony. Well played.
Passengers stars Lawrence and Christopher Pratt as strangers on a spacecraft to a new planet who are awakened from their sleep pods 90 years too early by a ship malfunction that threatens to wipe out the 5000 still sleeping passengers on board.
The opening sequence to Paramount Pictures’ big screen adaptation of the Japanese manga Ghost in the Shell has gone online. An homage to the source material, the clip provides a provocative peek at Scarlett Johansson’s magnificent boobs as cyborg crime-fighter The Major.
Ghost in the Shell arrives in theaters March 31, 2017. Unlike The Major in the manga, Johansson will not go nude but will be wearing a thermoptic suit meant to fool us into thinking we’re seeing more than we are. Does it work? Check out the clip to see, but be warned of Kenji Kawai’s ear-ache of a score.

Well, I’ll be a monkey’s uncle… Kong: Skull Island just might be as awesome a King Kong movie as Peter Jackson’s 2005 epic. Helmed by some dude named Jordan Vogt-Roberts for Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures, the film looks every bit as gorgeous as Jackson’s and a lot meaner!
Kong: Skull Island follows a team of explorers on an uncharted Pacific Island unaware of the monsters their expedition has unleashed and the beast who rules the land. Starring in this epic are Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, John C. Reilly, and Oscar-winner Brie Larson.

Europa has released a trailer for Fifth Element director and screenwriter Luc Besson’s new sci-fi epic Valerianand the City of a Thousand Planets, starring Dane DeHaan (Chronicle) and British stunner Cara Delevingne (Suicide Squad).
The trailer reveals a pretty fun looking ride complete with colorful landscapes and an odd and whimsical array of aliens, robots, and monsters. The only thing it appears to lack is a Leeloo-like outfit for model-turned-actress Delevingne. Here’s hoping they’re just keeping that under wraps.
