Dora and the Lost City of Gold Trailer #2 Goes Exploring for the Ultimate Treasure

We have a brand new trailer for Dora and the Lost City of Gold. This serves as a live-action adaptation of Nickelodeon's beloved and highly regarded children's series Dora the Explorer. So, be it adults who are now feeling a bit nostalgic regarding a major fixture of their childhood, or young kids now who are still enjoying what Dora has to offer in her animated form, this is bringing the heroine to life in a totally new way. This latest trailer offers our best look yet at what Isabella Moner is going to bring to the role.

It's clear that Dora is going to be ripped from her comfort zone. As we saw in the previous Dora the Explorer trailer, she is being pulled from exploring the jungle alongside her parents and is being forced to go to a real high school with other kids her age. Inevitably, Dora finds her way back to the jungle and ends up being able to lead her fish out of water friends through the terrain that she's far more familiar with. Dora's cast of familiar characters is also along for the ride, with Diego and the trusty monkey Boots both showing up. Even Swiper the fox, who was her most notorious nemesis from the series, is making the jump. But there are also human threats present in the kid-friendly action/adventure flick.

Isabella Moner previously starred in movies such as Michael Bay's Transformers: The Last Knight and Sicario: Day of the Soldado. Interestingly enough, early on, it was reported that Bay was going to serve as a producer on this movie, but that turned out not to be true. Eva Longoria Desperate Housewives, is on board as her mom, Michael Pena (Ant-Man and the Wasp) set to play her dad. Benicio Del Toro, who previously worked with Moner in Sicario: Day of the Soldado, is lending his voice for Swiper. Diego will be portrayed by Jeffrey Wahlberg (Future World). Last, but certainly not least, Boots is going to be voiced by none other than Danny Trejo (Machete).

Dora and the Lost City of Gold centers on Dora, who has spent most of her life exploring the jungle with her parents. But nothing could prepare the young explorer for her most dangerous adventure ever; High School. Dora quickly finds herself leading her monkey pal Boots, Diego (Jeffrey Wahlberg), a mysterious jungle inhabitant named Alejandro Gutierrez (Eugenio Derbez), and a group of teens from her new school on a journey to save her parents, while also trying to solve the impossible mystery behind a lost city of gold.

James Bobin (Alice Through the Looking Glass, Muppets Most Wanted) is in the director's chair. Dora and the Lost City of Gold is set to arrive in theaters on August 9 from Paramount Picutres. Will this be a later summer surprise? Or merely something parents will take their kids to see? Be sure to check out the new trailer for yourself.

Ian McKellen Pulls the Ultimate Con on Hellen Mirren

Warner Bros. has released a brand new trailer for The Good Liar. This is the latest from director Bill Condon, who most recently helmed Disney's live-action Beauty and the Beast. He was originally supposed to helm Universal's remake of Bride of Frankenstein. But when the Dark Universe fell apart in a hurry, he instead decided to tackle a more grounded thriller with two excellent leads in the form of Ian McKellen and Hellen Mirren. This looks right up his alley and like the rare kind of non-blockbuster movie in the modern marketplace that could actually prove to be a hit.

The trailer kicks off with a pretty great shot of Ian McKellen rocking a mustache and a million dollar grin. Once that's over with, we get to the heart of the matter, which has him meeting up with Helen Mirren for an online date. They hit it off but we quickly come to find that McKellen isn't who he says he is and things get pretty dicey. There's a lot of mystery, intrigue and deception. All together, it looks very stylish, slick and like a very effective thriller. The kind we don't get to see all that often anymore, especially as a big-budget studio release.

These days, it seems like either low-budget indies that manage to break through, low-ish budget horror movies, or massive budget blockbusters are the only things that regularly make money. Every once in a while a comedy breaks through, but movies like this are really suffering theatrically. It's too early to say if this movie is going to be as good as it looks like it could be, but this is exactly the kind of thing movie lovers don't want to see disappear in the age of streaming services.

The Good Liar centers on a lifelong con artist Roy Courtnay (Ian McKellen), who has made something of a life of it. He can hardly believe his luck when he meets a rather well off widow named Betty McLeish (Hellen Mirren) through an online dating site. As Betty opens her home and life to him, Roy, rather surprisingly, finds himself actually caring about her. This turns what was supposed to be a straightforward con into the most precarious tightrope walk of his life.

The studio has also released a new poster for the movie, which highlights its two stars. Jeffrey Hatcher (Mr. Holmes) penned the screenplay, which is based on the acclaimed novel by Nicholas Searle. We've got two classic movie stars, a very talented director, some compelling source material and a big studio behind the project. All of the pieces are in place for this to be something to look forward to in late 2019. The question is, will moviegoers actually show up? The Good Liar is set to hit theaters on November 15. Be sure to check out the trailer for yourself from the Warner Bros. Pictures YouTube channel.
