Thirty-four days before reporting to prison, disgraced former Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes does the insensible thing and invites a film crew into her life. With Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim directing, the resulting documentary You Can See Everything – as revealed in its trailer – seems odd, provocative, and somehow feels both claustrophobic and as open as its title. While we are promised complete access, the core of the film trailer lies in its subject’s innate dubiousness.

Ramayana is one of the most revered epic poems from ancient India, and this fall it is coming to the silver screen in a new interpretation by director Nitesh Tiwari. Notably, the music for this film is a collaboration by two film music icons: A.R. Rahman and Hans Zimmer.

Before Rocky could go the distance, Sylvester Stallone had to persuade Hollywood to let him play the part. Peter Farrelly’s I Play Rocky revisits that struggle, with Anthony Ippolito as a young actor whose screenplay attracts rather more interest than its proposed star, and a trailer soundtrack that mirrors the initial reluctance of those around him.

The Drop: A Snowfall Saga is a spinoff of Snowfall, a crime drama tv series (2017-2023) about the crack cocaine epidemic in mid-1980s Los Angeles. The Drop sets the clock forward to 1991, reprising characters Wanda (Gail Bean) and Leon (Isaiah John) as they navigate the emerging West Coast rap industry.

2010’s The Social Network already contended with the consequences of Mark Zuckerberg’s creation with a trailer whose music has become a landmark, with a gripping choral cover of Radiohead’s “Creep”—establishing the cover song as a well-trodden convention in modern trailer editing techniques. Sixteen years later, well—it’s all in the title, isn’t it?

Its official trailer came out August 19th, and in under a week it has amassed over 85 million YouTube views. To put those numbers in context, the trailer for this summer’s box office champion, Spider-Man: Brand New Day, currently sits at 42 million YouTube views.

We know—didn’t we just cover Doomsday? Well yes, but it seems Marvel doesn’t stand still, and Kevin Feige had to have something up us sleeve for Disney fan event D23 (so called for Disney’s founding in 1923).

What’s better than one composer for a film? How about nine? Intended as a love letter to the music of the movies and the people who make it, an all-star “composer cast” comprising James Newton Howard, Alan Silvestri, Brandon Roberts, Michael Abels, Emily Bear, Lukas Frank, Michael Giacchino, Henry Jackman, and Nami Melumad each contribute to this unique film directed and produced by Tony Gilroy (of the well-received Star Wars spinoff, Andor). While details are yet to be divulged, one would hope that each composer will leave their own signature mark through distinctive themes and arrangements.

Fresh off his cameo appearance during the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final half-time show, Jason Sudeikis returns for Season 4 of hit tv series Ted Lasso. For its soundtrack, the Official Trailer sports, appropriately, British band Mumford & Sons 2026 bluegrass track ‘Run Together.’ Mumford & Sons are old friends of Jason Sudeikis, with their collaborations dating back to Sudeikis’ Saturday Night Live era.

Set in Houston, Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother is an action thriller directed by Bassam Tariq and starring Mahershala Ali. Ali plays Latif, a devout Muslim hitman trying to protect his children as his life unravels.

In 2026, the Avengers face their biggest foe yet: Superhero fatigue. Oops… I mean Dr. Doom, of course. Indeed, with 41 million trailer views on the official YouTube video in its first 24 hours alone, it’s difficult to argue that the Avengers aren’t in the running for most popular film of the year, seven years after the commercial peak that was Endgame. At the very least, it promises an unprecedented spectacle for longtime Marvel fans. While this is the film’s first official trailer, promotion for Avengers: Doomsday has already included a series of character reveal teaser videos released online last winter, and an unusual “Now In Production” quasi-trailer back in April 2025.

At the opening of the trailer for 1930s thriller The Weight, we see the beginnings of a backroom deal between Murphy (Ethan Hawke), a prisoner trying to get back to his daughter, and Clancy (Russell Crowe), a prison warden looking to recruit gold smugglers.

From the mind of Robert Eggers (2024’s Nosferatu, anyone?) comes Werwulf; starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe, it’s set in 13th century England, continuing Eggers’ penchant for plumbing the depths of horror and the unknown.

The new trailer for Spider-Man: Brand New Day features music that fittingly blends the martial type of orchestral scoring blueprinted by Alan Silvestri for the Avengers film franchise, with a taste of the fluid synthesizer aesthetic of Metro Boomin’s music production in Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse. 

Disney’s 3D animation division is back with another modern fantasy, this time focusing on the coming of age for Billie, a teen who feels miscast and out of place in her suburban life and discovers the magical realm of Hexe.

A remake of Spanish film The People Upstairs (2020), The Invite has a new trailer that sports a modern remix of the famous opera aria “Habanera” from Georges Bizet’s Carmen. It’s a Spanish-inspired American film using music from a Spanish-inspired French opera. The trailer opens with some verbal sparring between Angela (played by Olivia Wilde, who directs and co-stars) and Joe (Seth Rogen) while a persistent note on the double bass and pulsing shakers establish a groove. The editing here helps many of the words in this dialogue land on beat with the music.

Directed by David Robert Mitchell (best known for the critical acclaimed It Follows), The End of Oak Street adds to a recent crop of more original ideas coming out of Hollywood—we’re thinking, of course, of the runaway success to Backrooms. 

The final trailer for Steven Spielberg’s latest film Disclosure Day opens by setting up a sci-fi story. We see close-ups of characters' faces as they look to the sky, and we hear sound design evoking the distant explosions and crackling fire lighting the sky, while synthesizers pulse away.

But then the trailer does something I have hardly ever known a cinematic trailer to do.

Directed by Zachary Wigon and distributed by Bleecker Street, Victorian Psycho originally had some different talent and distribution attachments, intended to be a film starring Margaret Qualley and distributed by A24. Instead, Maika Monroe stars—known as a “scream queen” (a woman prominently featured in horror films), in the vein of Jamie Lee Curtis or Jenna Ortega.

The first trailer or teaser for Christopher Nolans upcoming epic The Odyssey showcased the film’s grand Mediterranean vistas through IMAX cinematography, with a scant three lines of dialogue sprinkled in. This week, we’ll unpack the music and sound in the second trailer for The Odyssey, released May 5th. While there is a lot more story unveiled in this new trailer, the music stays pretty faithful to the tone of the first trailer.
