WATCH: Michelle Yeoh as Aung San Suu Kyi in Full Trailer for Luc Besson’s The Lady

Let’s cut to the chase: Michelle Yeoh looks simply amazing in the first full trailer for Luc Besson’s The Lady , the story of Burmese politician Aung San Suu Kyi and the two decades she spent as a political prisoner in her own country. The film played Toronto last month but doesn’t yet have a U.S. release date, which is too bad because after glimpsing the uncharacteristically restrained (and gorgeously shot) work here by Besson, it’s one of the more intriguing upcoming releases on my radar.

See Mark Wahlberg Return To a Life of Duct Tape-Assisted Crime in the Contraband Trailer

Did you guys realize that Mark Wahlberg and Kate Beckinsale were starring in a little heist movie called Contraband ? Me neither, but that’s probably because Universal has quietly scheduled the film, from Icelandic director Baltasar Kormákur, for a quiet box office death release next January. But we’re going to need something to watch during that winter wasteland month so let’s take a look and see if super-angry Mark Wahlberg, his abs, and and Kate Beckinsale undressing for the camera can’t motivate us to buy tickets.

Be Afraid: Ryan Gosling Threatens Early Retirement

It’s often said that we get the culture we deserve, and maybe — judging by the soft reception for Drive and the general post-Venice quietude around next month’s The Ides of March — the adage is true. Why else would Ryan Gosling, one of the most respected screen talents of his generation, publicly contemplate getting out of the business early?

Watch the Impressionistic U.K. Teaser Trailer for Andrea Arnold’s Wuthering Heights

“This is something of a pointillist Wuthering Heights , a story told more with dots and dashes than with long, bold strokes,” wrote Movieline’s Stephanie Zacharek after seeing Andrea Arnold’s bold take on the classic novel upon its Venice Film Festival debut. Now that the film’s first teaser has debuted, you can see for yourself what she meant, windswept longing gazes and foggy moors and elemental snatches of scenery and all.

Trailer: Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Michael Shannon Play Good Bike Messenger, Bad Cop in Premium Rush

Take it from Jennifer Aniston — working as a New York City bike messenger is neither glamorous nor exciting. Unless you’re Joseph Gordon-Levitt in David Koepp’s upcoming bike messenger thriller Premium Rush , in which case transporting packages across town is a fast-paced career option with hot co-workers, adrenaline rushes and the occasional highly dangerous assignment.

As it turns out, the best place to get Dan Aykroyd to discuss the possibility of Ghostbusters 3 is on the radio.

Our Idiot Brother Red Band Trailer: What an Effing Moron

Red band trailers are the Movieline reader’s one-stop shop for swear words, PG nudity, and otherwise offensive dialogue. They’re the Costco of cusses. In the new red band trailer for the pleasant-seeming Our Idiot Brother (read the Movieline review here), Paul Rudd befuddles his parole officer, interrupts some schtupping, and survives the cutting commentary of his sister Elizabeth Banks. It’s all very red , you know?
