TRAILER: Bridge Of Spies

Via Vanity Fair:
In this first look at Bridge of Spies, directed by Steven Spielberg from a script by Matt Charman and Joel and Ethan Coen, you see the strange set of circumstances that brought James Donovan to East Berlin in the 1950s. Hanks describes Donovan as a “bull of a negotiator,” and says that when the attorney was tasked with defending a Soviet spy (Mark Rylance) who had been captured in the United States, “James Donovan knew that if he took the case of defending Abel, it was going to consume him.” As it turned out, Donovan developed a rapport with the spy, and when an American U-2 bomber (Austin Stowell) was shot down over the Soviet Union some time later, Donovan was perfectly positioned to travel to East Berlin and negotiate a prisoner exchange to bring the American back home. It’s all a true story, and one Spielberg remembers very well from his own childhood.

TRAILER: Jurassic World

Via Rolling Stone:
The first official teaser for the long-awaited Jurassic World featured plenty of exposition – but a depressing lack of dinosaurs. The folks behind the movie's new global trailer, however, have gone to great lengths to rectify the situation by showcasing all kinds of CGI behemoths – from a monstrous, hungry sea beast (the "mosasaurus") to a winged dino that picks up a woman and soars away. Picking up 22 years after the timeline in the original Jurassic Park, the new film focuses on a dinosaur park operated by the Masrani Global Corporation on the Central American island Isla Nublar. In an attempt to spike attendance, the company leads researchers to create new creatures using genetic modification – and the results are (as one might expect) disastrous, as the bloodthirsty "Indominus Rex" begins to "kill for sport." Chris Pratt stars as a velociraptor trainer who stands up to corporate greed while trying not to become some beast's afternoon snack.
