Ethan AlterNew 'Murder on the Orient Express' trailer amps up the mystery
This November, book a ride on the famed Orient Express to soak in the Eurasian countryside, spend some quality time with a few familiar faces… and witness murder most foul. The latest adaptation of Agatha Christie’s classic 1934 mystery is, itself, a throwback to lavish ’30s-era studio productions like Grand Hotel, which billed themselves as being filled with “more stars than there are Heaven.” In this case, Orient Express director Kenneth Branagh — who also stars Christie’s mustachioed detective, Hercule Poirot — surrounds himself with a cast that appeals to every audience demographic from Judi Dench and Derek Jacobi to Daisy Ridley and Leslie Odom Jr. The just-released second trailer for the film showcases its A-list ensemble and production values, which should go a long way towards making Christie’s oft-adapted story feel fresh and new.

Rascally James Corden wreaks havoc in exclusive 'Peter Rabbit' trailer
2018 marks the 125th birthday of Beatrix Potter’s vegetable-jacking bunny, Peter Rabbit, who made his first appearance in an 1893 letter the author sent to a friend’s 5-year-old son. Directed by Easy A‘s Will Gluck, the new Peter Rabbit — which hops into theaters on Feb. 9 — possesses a distinctly 21st century attitude and sense of humor. For example, the present-day Peter (voiced by Corden) and his forest pals even throw a raucous house party in the humble abode of Mr. McGregor (Domhnall Gleeson).
