By Creative Media Times

“Homecoming is a safe space for you to process your military experience and think about what comes next,” Roberts’ Heidi Bergman says in the trailer.

Amazon Prime Video just dropped the second trailer for psychological thriller tv series “Homecoming” today and it is as intriguingly vague as it is strange, showing Roberts in the midst of a mystery.

This will be the iconic movie star’s first major role on a tv series. Created and directed by Sam Esmail, best known as the creator of the drama thriller “Mr. Robot” tv series, “Homecoming” also stars Bobby Cannavale, Shea Whigham and Stephan James.

Per Amazon’s detailed synopsis, Heidi Bergman is “a caseworker at Homecoming, a Geist Group facility helping soldiers transition to civilian life. Years later she has started a new life, living with her mother and working as a waitress, when a Department of Defense auditor questions why she left the Homecoming facility. Heidi quickly realizes that there’s a whole other story behind the story she’s been telling herself.”

Homecoming is set to premiere on Amazon Prime Video, November 2, Friday.

“A Whale Of A Tale” Documentary Release Set

Megumi Sasaki’s award-winning documentary A WHALE OF A TALE will be released on iTunes in the US, Canada and UK on Tuesday, October 30.

In 2010, Taiji, a sleepy fishing town in Japan, suddenly found itself in the worldwide media spotlight. THE COVE, a documentary denouncing the town’s longstanding whale and dolphin hunting traditions, won an Academy Award and almost overnight, Taiji became the go-to destination and battleground for activists from around the world.

Can a proud 400-year-old whaling tradition survive a tsunami of modern animal-rights activism and colliding forces of globalism vs. localism?

A WHALE OF A TALE reveals the complex story behind the ongoing debate. Told through a wide range of characters including local fishermen, international activists and an American journalist (and long time Japanese resident), this powerful documentary unearths a deep divide in eastern and western thought about nature and wildlife and cultural sensitivity in the face of global activism.

By Creative Media Times

Sony Pictures has released the poster and trailer horror thriller film “Escape Room” which recently moved up its released date from early February to January 4, 2019.

The trailer sees a group of strangers who received an invitation from a mysterious organization called MINOS. The invite sends them to an escape room to play a game: be the first to escape the “most immersive room yet” and they will win a million dollars.

Marvel Studios

Marvel Studios has finally unveiled the first trailer for their upcoming superhero movie “Captain Marvel”.

Also newly released by Marvel and Disney is the movie’s first poster. “Higher. Further. Faster,” the film’s tagline says on the poster.

This is the first look at the superhero in action since the character was first teased in the end-credits scene of Avengers: Infinity War.

In the comics, the character is the original Captain Marvel from an alien race of Kree who later adopted the identity of the recently deceased human scientist Walter Lawson. While posing as Lawson, he meets and become a mentor to Larson’s U.S. Air Force character Carol Danvers. Her DNA is melded with that of an alien after an explosion of a Kree device. It remains to be seen how much of the character origins from comics will carry over into the film.

Captain Marvel is currently slated for a March 8, 2019 release.
