They've also released a bunch of ugly posters for the movie in psychedelic colours and I must admit those are some of the ugliest posters the spy has seen in his life but I'm guessing they're following the funnier tone of the new film which is out this November worldwide.

SECOND TRAILERS FOR 'BEN HUR' REMAKE WITH JACK HUSTON, RODRIGO SANTORO, MORGAN FREEMAN, 'PETE'S DRAGON' REMAKE WITH KARL URBAN, BRYCE DALLAS HOWARD, ROBERT REDFORD

NEW 'PETE'S DRAGON' TRAILER

SHOWS MORE GREEN BEAST

This August's two big movies have got their second trailers today, starting with the remake of PETE'S DRAGON which will wing its way into cinemas August 12th starring Karl Urban, Bryce Dallas Howard, Wes Bentley and Robert Redford!

SOME PETS ARE TOO BIG TO KEEP

For years, old wood carver Mr. Meacham (Robert Redford) has delighted local children with his tales of the fierce dragon that resides deep in the woods of the Pacific Northwest. To his daughter, Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard), who works as a forest ranger, these stories are little more than tall tales... until she meets Pete (Oakes Fegley). Pete is a mysterious 10-year-old with no family and no home who claims to live in the woods with a giant, green dragon named Elliott. And from Pete's descriptions, Elliott seems remarkably similar to the dragon from Mr. Meacham's stories. With the help of Natalie (Oona Laurence), an 11-year-old girl whose father Jack (Wes Bentley) owns the local lumber mill, Grace sets out to determine where Pete came from, where he belongs, and the truth about this dragon.

NEW 'BEN HUR' TRAILER

WITH THE CHARIOT RACES

The second trailer has also been released for another movie that will storm into theatres on chariots the next weekend in August: remake of BEN HUR with Jack Huston in the lead role! It follows the epic story of Judah Ben-Hur (Jack Huston), a prince falsely accused of treason by his adopted brother Messala (Toby Kebbell), an officer in the Roman army. Stripped of his title, separated from his family and the woman he loves (Nazanin Boniadi), Judah is forced into slavery. After years at sea, Judah returns to his homeland to seek revenge, but finds redemption. The movie also stars Morgan Freeman and Rodrigo Santoro as Jesus himself.

PREMIUM SPOTLIGHT AND CHARACTER POSTERS FOR 'STAR TREK BEYOND' WITH CHRIS PINE, KARL URBAN, ZACHARY QUINTO, JOHN CHO, ZOE SALDANA, ANTON YELCHIN

'STAR TREK BEYOND' 

CHARACTER POSTERS ARE IN

While we're anxiously waiting to see what will the new STAR TREK TV series, starting in January at CBS, be about and who will stand at the helm of Enterprise (Nathan Fillion being fans' favourite rumoured name), we shall first watch the third movie in the rebooted saga (or the thirteenth at all) STAR TREK BEYOND which will boldly sail into the cinemas around the world from July 22nd this summer! Today you can enjoy the character posters showing all the stars portraying our beloved sf heroes!

THE CREW IS BACK
In the $150 million movie, the crew of the USS Enterprise, halfway into their five year mission, which takes them into uncharted territory, are attacked by a seemingly unstoppable wave of unknown aliens forcing them to abandon ship. Stranded on an unknown planet and with no apparent means of rescue nor communication, the crew find themselves in conflict with a new ruthless enemy, while Kirk must work out a plan to reunite his crew and get back to Earth.

CHRIS PINE AND KARL URBAN LEADING THE CAST AGAIN

With FAST AND FURIOUS franchise director Justin Lin behind the helm of STAR TREK BEYOND instead of J.J. Abrams who had to work on STAR WARS saga, the cast is again lead by the ensemble that has built up an amazing chemistry among themselves in the first two movies of the rebooted series. Chris Pine returns again as the young Captain Kirk fresh from the Star Fleet Academy and now given the command of Enterprise which he is taking into the legendary exploring mission with most famous Vulcan in the universe Spock, played by Zachary Quinto, as his trusted commander. It is interesting that while both Pine and Quinto have contracts signed for the fourth movie as well, the rest of the crew did not have presigned contracts even for this one, which Karl Urban, who is again playing everybody's beloved grumpy Doctor Bones or Lieutenant Commander McCoy, has recently confirmed by saying he did not even know he is returning for the third part, which is shocking given that his character is fans' favourite. Zoe Saldana is gain Lieutenant Uhura, John Cho portrays Lieutenant Sulu and Anton Yelchin is Lieutenant Chekov! Idris Elba is the main villain in the movie called Krall, while Sofia Boutella is Jaylah, the alien warrior you see in the trailer with the white skin. Oscar winner Shohreh Aghdashloo was cast as the High Command of the Federation for reshoots on the film.
