The First Trailer for Disney's Live-Action 'Mulan' Is Here


On Sunday (July 7), Disney gifted us with our first trailer for Mulan, the latest chapter in their run of live-action remakes of their classic films. And while we’ve just gotten Aladdin in theaters, and we’re waiting for the releases of The Lion King (July 19!) and The Little Mermaid (and following all of the developments along the way), fans are still pretty excited from the one-minute, 30-second look they got at Mulan—judging by the subsequent tweets, that is.

If you haven’t watched Disney’s 1998 animated version Mulan for the better part of two decades, it follows the story of a young woman who dresses as a man in order to take her older father’s place in the Chinese army after the emperor conscripts one man per household to fight—and she becomes a legendary warrior in the process. The plot is based on the Ballad of Mulan, which dates back to China’s Northern and Southern dynasties (between 420 and 589), and it’s a story that’s been retold in film many times, including in an award-winning 2009 version called Rise of Mulan by a Chinese studio that brought more realism to the tale.

The glimpse of the upcoming Disney live-action remake, out in 2020, opens with Mulan riding a horse across a field, then cuts to her family announcing that the matchmaker has found an auspicious match for her. She’s clearly not super-thrilled about it, but her dad says that it’s what’s best for the family. The teaser then goes on to split scenes between her training as a warrior and her training to be a “good wife,” as a character says, ultimately ending with her doing some serious damage on the battlefield.

The actress starring as Mulan in the live-action remake, Liu Yifei, reportedly beat out more than 1,000 other actresses for the role, according to Newsweek. And it seems like this version is going to be a little less Disney-ified than the original, as one Twitter user pointed out—hence the lack of Mushu and singing in the teaser.

And let’s just say fans are pretty excited about their first glimpse:

Watch the whole thing below—and start counting down until March 27, 2020:

Hear Beyoncé as Nala for the First Time in The Lion King's Latest Trailer


Disney is really working to make its reboot of The Lion King as epic as possible. In addition to rendering the film through some super fancy computer animation and getting Donald Glover to voice Simba, they snagged none other than Beyoncé for the role of Nala. Fans are already freaking out about Queen Bey’s turn as Queen of Pride Rock, and now a new teaser trailer lets us hear her in character for the first time.

The clip is pretty short, but it’s very Bey-heavy (thanks, Disney.) It basically only features Beyoncé’s voice over scenes from the movie. “Simba, you have to take your place as king,” she says at one point, and just like that we have an Oscar front-runner.

The BeyHive, naturally, is losing it on Twitter:

“Beyoncé’s voice sounds like velvet in that Lion King trailer,” one person wrote. “Beyoncé’s voice just sent shivers all over my body. Holy mother of Lions ??? #LionKing,” another Twitter user joked.

Beyoncé seems excited about the role, too. Over the weekend, she paid homage to Nala by wearing lion-inspired couture to her mother Tina Knowles’ Wearable Art Gala. She showed up in a sparkling gold body suit, complete with feathers and glittering sequins. In an Instagram post, she also added a clip of Blue Ivy in a full headdress, singing along to “The Circle of Life.” Clearly, both of them are getting super into the character.

The Lion King also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor, John Oliver, Seth Rogen, and James Earl Jones, who’s reprising his role as Mufasa. That’s already a pretty jaw-dropping list of voice actors, and Beyoncé just elevates things even more. Now, all we need is to hear her versions of the movie’s iconic songs.

The Lion King hits theaters on July 19, 2019. Let the countdown begin.

The First Full-Length Trailer for Hannah Brown's Season of *The Bachelorette* Is Here


Get ready, Bachelor Nation: Hannah Brown‘s season of The Bachelorette premieres next week, and if this new trailer is any indication, we’re in for a wild ride.

ABC dropped the first full-length teaser for The Bachelorette on Tuesday, May 7. All your standard high jinks are present: One man jumps over a fence to meet Hannah on night one (a not-so-subtle jab at Colton Underwood). Another pops out of a cardboard box and says, “This package isn’t complete without you, Hannah!” A third guy plays the guitar for her. It’s all very extra in the best way possible.

And the drama is more intense than ever. At one point Hannah yells at all the guys for not trying to get to know her. “None of you know anything about me,” she tells them during one episode. “And what makes me, me. And things that I have gone through. No one’s even asked, because all we do is talk about stupid shit. Figure it out, or I don’t want to do this.”

Later on she straight up says, “My trust has been completely broken, so I’m for sure gonna do what I want to do.” Yes, ma’am! Put these overgrown frat boys in their place!

I can already spot the two problem dudes from this trailer, as well. There’s Luke, who at one point is called an “evil pathological liar” and a “psychopath.” Also, Cam is getting on my nerves because he actually says in his interview, “I always say A-B-C: ‘Always Be Cam.'” I didn’t ask for a spelling lesson, sir!

“I want my life to be [exciting] regardless of whether a man is in it or not,” Brown told Glamour after ABC announced she was the new Bachelorette. “I want to see more of the world and, through that, find out more about myself.”

Her journey begins Monday, May 13, at 8:00 P.M. ET on ABC.

The First Trailer for Netflix’s ‘Wine Country’ Is Here—and It’s Hilarious


When news broke that Amy Poehler would be making her directorial debut with the Netflix comedy Wine Country, I could barely contain my excitement—especially after finding out she hired some of her best SNL girlfriends for the cast. The first trailer for the movie dropped on Thursday, April 11, and it’s everything I could’ve imagined and more.

Wine Country follows Poehler’s character, Abby, as she tries to plan a classy Napa getaway for her friend Rebecca (Rachel Dratch), who’s turning 50. She invites her longtime squad along for the ride, which includes comedy heavy hitters like Maya Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey, and Cherry Jones. (Tina Fey also makes an appearance.) It’s essentially just a movie about your favorite SNL women getting tipsy on wine while on vacation, and I’m 100 percent here for it.

Check out the trailer for yourself, below. It’s serving some major Girls’ Trip vibes.

Based on this trailer, it seems these women are going to get into some serious Bridesmaids-esque shenanigans. In just the few short scenes we see, Maya Rudolph gives us a drunk serenade (and falls off the piano), Ana Gasteyer pulls out a bag of drugs, and the rest of the cast all rolls down a hill in unison. According to the film’s tagline, though, “as the alcohol flows, real world uncertainties intrude on the punch lines and gossip, and the women begin questioning their friendships and futures.” As long as all of them are friends again before the hangovers kick in, I’m OK.

Wine Country will debut May 10 on Netflix, so be sure to save a bottle of wine (or three) for the occasion. I seriously can’t wait to watch these women drink chardonnay for two hours.

While you’re waiting for Wine Country, though, check out the best movies currently on Netflix.

Hannah Brown’s First ‘The Bachelorette’ Trailer Is Here, and It’s Incredible


I’ll admit: I had mixed feelings about Hannah Brown being our new Bachelorette. The former Miss Alabama is charming, sure, but she didn’t exactly get the best edit on Colton Underwood’s season of The Bachelor. (Ugh, her “feud” with beauty pageant roomie Caelynn Miller-Keyes.) But then again, I’ve sat through an entire season of Arie Luyendyk Jr. moaning “mmm” when he kisses and made it out alive. Hannah could spend her time as the Bachelorette yelling “Roll Tide!” and I’d be entertained. What I’m saying is, the bar is low.

And any lingering doubts I had are fully gone after watching the first teaser for the new season of The Bachelorette. It’s so wild and bizarre—which means I love every minute of it.

The whole thing starts off with Hannah in a Cinderella-blue ballgown and beauty queen regalia wandering through a forest. Then she gradually starts shedding signs of her pageant past. Down goes her tiara. Goodbye to her sash. Bachelor red roses rise up triumphantly around them. “You Don’t Own Me”—the Lesley Gore classic repopularized by The Handmaid’s Tale—plays in the background. Hannah’s making a feminist statement, I think, and I’m here for it.

At the end of her journey, Hannah suddenly removes the train of her dress to reveal she’s wearing a chic power jumpsuit. The drama! “Think you know her?” the trailer teases. “Think again.” THINK AGAIN.

The whole thing is very Once Upon a Time meets early Taylor Swift meets Britney Spears’ “Fantasy” perfume commercial. A cinematic masterpiece, in other words. I haven’t seen anything this all-around perfect since Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

Watch for yourself, below:

The reactions to this trailer on social media were on par with my response. “OBSESSED!!!” one enthusiastic fan wrote. “Best Bachelorette promo in years.” Others cited getting “chills” after watching. The reviews are in: This promo is a hit.

Despite this trailer’s insistence that we don’t know anything about Hannah, we did learn a few things about her after Underwood’s season. “Ultimately, my future wasn’t with Colton, but my journey isn’t over,” she told Glamour in a recent interview. “I’m so excited for the rest of my life, and I want love to be an adventure. I want it to be fun. I want it to be exciting, and I want my life to be that way regardless of whether a man is in it or not. Alabama will always be home and have a special place in my heart, but I want my life to be more than just living there. I want to see more of the world and, through that, find out more about myself.”

Watch the Trailer for Noah Centineo and Camila Mendes' Netflix Rom-Com The Perfect Date


To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before alum Noah Centineo is already the Internet’s boyfriend, so his next role isn’t too much of a stretch given that it’s literally called The Perfect Date. In it, he plays a guy who gets paid to be a dream date for young women—so, yeah, the casting decision couldn’t have been better.

The trailer, which Netflix just released today, only adds to the appeal. It introduces us to Centineo as Brooks Rattigan, a high school senior who hopes to attend Yale but doesn’t have the money for the expensive tuition. “I’ve always wanted to date the most popular girl, drive the nicest car and go to the fanciest school. But I can’t afford any of that,” he says in the clip.

To get some extra cash, he ends up escorting Celia Lieberman (played by Laura Marano) to a school dance. It goes so well that it inspires a plan: create an app where people can pay him to be their plus-one at events. His job is to take on the role of whatever stand-in boyfriend they need for the occasion. In the trailer alone, he pretends to be a cowboy, an art connoisseur, and more.

Watch, below:

Because this is a romantic comedy, of course things eventually get knotty. Rattigan starts dating his crush Shelby Pace—played by Riverdale favorite Camila Mendes—and starts living out some rich kid fantasies that distance him from his friends. Naturally, there’s a tricky love triangle with Shelby and Celia to deal with too. (Fun fact: Marano and Centineo actually worked with each other on Austin & Ally back in the day.)

Centineo, of course, brings all the Peter Kavinsky charm that made him a breakout star in To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before (and, hopefully one day soon, the To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before sequel).

The Perfect Date is out on April 12 on Netflix, so mark your calendars and prepare to swoon.
