‘Nobody 2’ Fights Its Way Into CinemaCon With a Sneak Peek Your Dad Is Going to Love
Image
Never underestimate a funny man. That’s what audiences learned when Ilya Naishuller released his action-packed feature Nobody in 2021, which moved Bob Odenkirk out of his typical safe space of funny guy and reintroduced him as an action star. The Breaking Badand Better Call Saul actor stepped up to the task at hand and made it look easy in the hit film that holds a glowing 84% critics’ rating and an even more impressive audience score of 94% on Rotten Tomatoes. Today, during Universal’s presentation at CinemaCon, audiences got their first taste of the highly anticipated follow-up film that will crash into theaters later this year. Very much on par with the movie that kicked off what could easily become a franchise, Odenkirk’s Hutch Mansell is back in Nobody 2 and ready for more ass-kicking action.

At CinemaCon, we got an early look at the first trailer. Here's what we saw:

‘The Goonies’ Reunite: Ke Huy Quan ‘Would Love’ to Make a Sequel, Corey Feldman Says ‘Get Us All Together, Everybody Is Looking Good’
Image
Key Huy Quan thinks the last time he was in the same room with most of his “The Goonies” co-stars was at least 20 years ago. Corey Feldman thinks it was more like four decades ago at the film’s Los Angeles premiere in 1985.

Whatever the case may be, Quan was joined Monday at his hand-and-footprint ceremony at the Tcl Chinese Theatre in Hollywood by Feldman, Josh Brolin, Kerri Green, Jeff Cohen and director Chris Columbus. “I had an incredible ‘Goonies’ reunion this morning,” Quan told me Monday night at the premiere of his new action movie “Love Hurts.”

The cast had a virtual fundraising reunion on Zoom during the Covid pandemic.

Hollywood, California – February 03: (L-r) Josh Brolin, Jeff Cohen, Kerri Green, Ke Huy Quan, Corey Feldman and Chris Columbus attend the hand/footprint in cement ceremony for actor Ke Huy Quan at Tcl Chinese Theater on February 03, 2025 in Hollywood,...

Azrael Review | Samara Weaving Silently Fights to Survive the Rapture
Image
Azrael takes place after the Rapture, where humanity's devout survivors have taken a vow of silence. Quiet subservience is assured by cutting vocal cords and leaving a crucifix-shaped scar. But another terrifying remnant stalks the wilderness and demands to be fed through bloody sacrifice. The film falls prey to a few clunky genre tropes. It hurdles those barriers with slick cinematography, brutal violence, and a fierce lead performance. Samara Weaving continues to prove her mettle as a horror and action badass in a visceral thriller with biblical themes.

Hunting a Woman in the Woods

Azrael 3.5/5 RHorrorAction

Many years following the apocalypse, a devout cult of mute zealots hunts down a young woman, Azrael, who has escaped her imprisonment. Recaptured by its ruthless leaders, Azrael is to be sacrificed to pacify an ancient evil that resides deep within the surrounding wilderness yet she will stop at nothing to ensure her own survival.

Azrael Review: Samara Weaving Heavily Supports A Mismanaged Religious Horror
Image
This review of Azrael was originally published during the 2024 SXSW Film & TV Festival.

Azrael, the latest horror starring scream queen Samara Weaving, hails from the minds of director E.L. Katz and screenwriter Simon Barrett. The movie follows a relatively simple premise: a young woman is hunted by a frightening cult and demonic creatures in a post-rapture world. Their sinister plan for her is unclear, but one thing's for sure she will survive at any cost.

Where To Watch Azrael: Showtimes & Streaming Status
Samara Weaving at an event for La 90e cérémonie des Oscars (2018)
Samara Weaving returns to the horror movie genre in 2024, and there are multiple options for where to watch Azrael in a short amount of time. After making a name for herself with horror movies like Ready or Not and The Babysitter, plus having a cameo in Scream VI, the actress is cemented as a modern scream queen. Samara Weaving's horror movies filmography grew again in 2024 thanks to Azrael, the action horror movie from the minds of director E.L. Katz (Cheap Thrills) and writer Simon Barrett.

Azrael's story is set in a world where no one speaks. The movie revolves around a cult's attempt to imprison and sacrifice Weaving's Azrael to a mysterious evil. With Azrael's reviews being mostly positive, the inherent interest for some in seeing Weaving return to horror becomes even more exciting. This is especially true considering the involvement of Shudder, the horror-focused production company behind acclaimed films like In A Violent Nature,...

Bob Odenkirk Learns How To Fight Dirty For His R-Rated Action Movie In New Short Film
Image
Wish Me Luck reveals behind-the-scenes training for Bob Odenkirk in Nobody, showcasing his own stunts and collaboration with stunt professionals. Nobody initially flew under the radar upon release but gained newfound success on streaming platforms, renewing interest in the in-development sequel. The movie stands out from being just a John Wick clone by utilizing Odenkirk's acting strengths, blending dark humor with intense action and leaving audiences curious about the character's future.

Nearly three years after the movie became a sleeper hit, the Wish Me Luck trailer reveals the first look at the short film chronicling Bob Odenkirk's training for Nobody. The Emmy winner led the cast of the 2021 movie as Hutch Mansell, a seemingly mild-mannered, middle-class family man whose past as a government assassin comes to light after his encounter with a Russian gangster. Much like Keanu Reeves in the John Wick movies, Odenkirk performed his own stunts, with the...
