No matter how hard you try, you can’t break up with your past. Universal Pictures has just released the trailer for Love Hurts.

This Valentine’s Day, Oscar winner Ke Huy Quan (Everything Everywhere All at Once, Loki, The Electric State) rockets into his first major leading man role as an unlikely hero, a seemingly mild-mannered realtor with a dark secret that he is desperate to leave behind. Spoiler alert: He won’t. 

From 87North—producers of the groundbreaking action films Nobody, Violent Night, Bullet Train, Atomic Blonde and The Fall Guy—comes a visceral, high-octane story of wrath and revenge.  

Quan stars as Marvin Gable, a realtor working the Milwaukee suburbs, where ‘For Sale’ signs bloom. Gable receives a crimson envelope from Rose (Oscar winner Ariana DeBose; West Side Story, Argylle), a former partner-in-crime that he had left for dead. She’s not happy.  Now, Marvin is thrust back into a world of ruthless hitmen, filled with double-crosses and open houses turned into deadly warzones. With his brother Knuckles (Daniel Wu; Tomb Raider, Warcraft), a volatile crime lord, hunting him, Marvin must confront the choices that haunt him and the history he never truly buried.

The film features a killer soundtrack and impressive and diverse cast that includes former NFL running back and Super Bowl champion Marshawn “Beast Mode” Lynch (Bottoms, 80 for Brady), Mustafa Shakir (Emancipation, Luke Cage), Lio Tipton (Crazy, Stupid, Love., Lucy), Rhys Darby (Jumanji: The Next Level, Yes Man), André Eriksen (Violent Night, The Trip) and Sean Astin (The Lord of the Ringstrilogy, Perry Mason).

Produced by 87North’s Kelly McCormick and David Leitch, Love Hurts is written by Matthew Murray (Sheltered, CloudStreet: Soaring the American West) & Josh Stoddard (Warrior, Kaleidoscope) and Luke Passmore (Archenemy, Slaughterhouse Rulez). Guy Danella (Violent Night) is also producing. The executive producer is Ben Ormand. 

Making his feature film directing debut on Love Hurts is acclaimed veteran stunt coordinator and fight coordinator JoJo Eusebio, whose credits include some of the greatest action films of the past decade including Black Panther, The Avengers, the John Wick films, The Matrix Resurrections, Violent Night, The Fall Guy and Deadpool 2. Eusebio also served as the second-unit director on Deadpool 2, Violent Night and Birds of Prey.

Netflix‘s Murderville trailer is here, and getting to the bottom of a vicious crime has never been more ridiculous. Murderville stars Will Arnett as Senior Detective Terry Seattle of Homicide Division. Every day means a new murder case and a new celebrity guest star as his partner. But here’s the catch: each episode’s guest star isn’t being given the script. They have no idea what’s about to happen to them. Together, the guest star and Terry Seattle will have to improvise their way through the case… but it will be up to each celebrity guest alone to name the killer. Join them as they punch a one-way ticket to Murderville.

The six-episode procedural crime comedy premieres globally on Netflix on February 3. Starring alongside Arnett for this off-the-wall exercise in improvisation is Haneefah Wood as Chief Rhonda Jenkins, Lilan Bowden as Medical Examiner Amber Kang, and Phillip Smithey as Detective Darren ‘Daz’ Phillips. As the Murderville trailer plays out, we find Arnett’s Detective Terry Seattle being joined by several celebrity guests, including Annie Murphy (Schitt’s Creek), Conan O’Brien (Death Stranding), Ken Jeong (The Hangover, Community), Kumail Nanjiani (Eternals, Stuber), NFL star Marshawn Lynch (Brooklyn Nin-Nine), and Sharon Stone (Basic Instinct, Casino).

Directed by Iain Morris and Brennan Shroff, Murdervill is executive produced by Will Arnett, Marc Forman, Jonathan Stern, Peter Principato, Brian Steinberg. Tom Davis, Andy Brereton, and James De Frond. Krister Johnson serves as showrunner, writer, and executive producer. Meanwhile, Anna Drezen, Chadd Gindin, Craig Rowin, Jack Kukoda, Marina Cockenberg, Kerry O’Neill, Hannah Levy, and Adriana Robles all act as writers on the series.

In addition to dropping the new Murderville trailer, Netflix also unveiled several images and key art for the improvisational murder mystery series:

I have yet to watch any episodes of the HBO series based on Michael Crichton's 1973 film WESTWORLD, so I have no idea what's going on in the trailer for the show's upcoming third season. But from what I gather, fans of the show also don't know what's going on in the trailer for this season, because it's doing something completely different. 

In Westworld season 3, the character Dolores (Evan Rachel Wood) has left the titular theme park behind and is now in the futuristic world outside the park. Here she meets a new character played by Aaron Paul, who the trailer focuses on.

New setting, new characters. Even as an outsider, it's interesting to see that Westworld is shaking things up so much for its third season.

Wood and Paul are joined in the cast of season 3 by Lena Waithe, Scott "Kid Cudi" Mescudi, Vincent Cassel, Tessa Thompson, and Marshawn Lynch. 

Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy adapted Crichton's concept into the series format and are executive producers on the show with J.J. Abrams, Richard J. Lewis, Roberto Patino, Athena Wickham and Ben Stephenson. Westworld is a production of Warner Bros. Television, Nolan and Joy's Kilter Films, and Abrams' Bad Robot.

I do intend to get around to watching the Westworld series sometime. Season 3 won't begin airing until 2020, so I still have several months to catch up on the first two seasons.
