Here is a list of new movie trailers released recently and some look truly great. To begin with, Netflix’s Project Power, starring Jamie Foxx, is releasing on August 14, while Megan Fox’s Rogue in which she stars as a mercenary will be available On Demand starting August 28.

Even though cinemas are closed in most parts of the world, there is plenty to catch on streaming platforms. From biographical drama Tesla to Brandon Cronenberg’s Possessor, let’s catch some of the interesting trailers.

PROJECT POWER – Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt’s action thriller

Starring Oscar winner Jamie Foxx and Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Netflix’s action-thriller Project Power follows an ex-soldier, a teen, and a local cop who team up to fight the increasing crimes on the streets of New Orleans, caused by the result of a dangerous new pill that grants users temporary superpowers. Project Power is releasing on Netflix on August 14.

Official synopsis for ‘Project Power‘

On the streets of New Orleans, word begins to spread about a mysterious new pill that unlocks superpowers unique to each user. The catch: You don’t know what will happen until you take it. While some develop bulletproof skin, invisibility, and super strength, others exhibit a deadlier reaction. But when the pill escalates crime within the city to dangerous levels, a local cop (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) teams with a teenage dealer (Dominique Fishback) and a former soldier fueled by a secret vendetta (Jamie Foxx) to fight power with power and risk-taking the pill to track down and stop the group responsible for creating it.

ROGUE – Mercenary Megan Fox fights a ferociously dangerous lion

Directed by MJ Bassett, this action thriller starring Megan Fox and a group of international actors follows the story of an extraction mission that seems more than what it looks. As we see in the trailer that Fox and the team of mercenaries face a dangerous lion, the story is also linked to illegal animal trade, global politics, and corruption. Rogue is releasing (VOD) on August 28.

Official Synopsis for ‘Rogue‘

Megan Fox (Transformers franchise) tackles a thrilling new role as a battle-hardened mercenary in this explosive action saga. As team leader O’Hara, she leads a lively squad of soldiers on a daring mission: rescue hostages from their captors in remote Africa. But as the mission goes awry and the team is stranded, O’Hara’s squad must face a bloody, brutal encounter with a gang of rebels — and the horde of ravenous, enraged lions they encounter.

TESLA – A much-awaited biopic on the brilliant inventor

Michael Almereyda’s biographical drama Tesla stars Ethan Hawke as Nikola Tesla and Kyle MacLachlan as Thomas Edison. Hopefully, we will get to see the life, his struggle, groundbreaking inventions, and of course, the tussle of ideas – his alternating current design vs. Edison’s direct current model. The film had its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival on January 27 and is scheduled for an August 21 release.

Official Synopsis for ‘Tesla‘

Brilliant, visionary Nikola Tesla (Ethan Hawke) fights an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical system to fruition, then faces thornier challenges with his new system for worldwide wireless energy. The film tracks Tesla’s uneasy interactions with his fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle MacLachlan) and his patron George Westinghouse (Jim Gaffigan).  Another thread traces Tesla’s sidewinding courtship of financial titan J.P. Morgan (Donnie Keshawarz), whose daughter Anne (Eve Hewson) takes a more than casual interest in the inventor.  Anne analyzes and presents the story as it unfolds, offering a distinctly modern voice to this scientific period drama which, like its subject, defies convention.

POSSESSOR – Sci-fi thriller from the ‘Antiviral’ director Brandon Cronenberg

Brandon Cronenberg’s (Antiviral) upcoming science-fiction feature film Possessor follows Tasya (Andrea Riseborough), a corporate agent who uses brain-implant technology to inhabit other people’s bodies, driving them to commit assassinations for the benefit of the company. The film had its premiere at Sundance but yet to get a release date.

Official Synopsis for ‘Possessor‘

From the visionary mind of writer/director Brandon Cronenberg, POSSESSOR is an arresting sci-fi thriller about elite, corporate assassin Tasya Vos. Using brain-implant technology, Vos takes control of other people’s bodies to execute high profile targets. As she sinks deeper into her latest assignment Vos becomes trapped inside a mind that threatens to obliterate her.

HOW TO FAKE A WAR – A dark comedy where a pop star fakes a war for a PR stunt

The trailer for How to Fake A War looks like a satirical or dark comedy, but the whole idea of a pop star trying to fake a war between two nations for self-promotion or PR stunt seems bizarre. Nevertheless, we would like to see where the story actually heads, even though it sounds crazy in the beginning. The film is coming out on August 21.  

Official Synopsis for ‘How to Fake A War‘

When an unexpected outbreak of peace leads to a ceasefire between Russian forces and Georgian rebels, arrogant rock star Harry Hope fears for the success of his heavily hyped Piece of Peace global charity concert. Desperate, he dispatches his PR consultant, Kate and her naïve intern, Pegg, to create a fake war story – until the concert, at least.
