‘The Burial’ Trailer: Jamie Foxx Heads to Court as Tommy Lee Jones’ Attorney

Typically, when you see horror films that are “based on a true story” or “inspired by true events,” it’s a very loose interpretation of what that means. That said, there is one event that happened in the U.K.

Netflix has teased a trailer for a Squid Game spin-off that sees real life contestants take on the gruelling challenges from the hit TV series - without the fatal consequences. But fans have made a demand as the launch of the new reality show draws nearer.

Naturally, when you see the names Uma Thurman and Samuel L. Jackson in the cast list of a film, people are going to get excited.

Following up on his two acclaimed horror directorial efforts, “Before The Fall” and his entrée into Hollywood with the “Rings” franchise, Spanish director F. Javier Gutiérrez returns to Spain and takes us on the disturbing journey of a man who loses everything to evil with “The Wait” (“La Espera”).

OMG the new Saw X ad is priceless!

Even though Gareth Edwards broke out with his debut feature, “Monsters,” back in 2010, we really don’t know too much about him, as a filmmaker. He followed that film up with “Godzilla” in 2014, which was fairly well received, but it’s his third film, “Rogue One: A Star Wars Story” that most people remember him from.

We are only a month away from the release of what is likely 2023’s most anticipated film—Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon.” Before the film’s premiere earlier this year at Cannes, this film was already at the top of a lot of people’s must-see list, but after the rave reviews from the prestigious festival, there’s no denying the hype has only grown for this crime drama.

TORONTO – Considering the explicit gravity of her previous films, “The Burial” is an unexpected detour for filmmaker Maggie Betts. Likely considered a dramatic comedy by most, the MGM release centers on a 1995 lawsuit where a Mississippi small businessman, Jeremiah Joseph O’Keefe (Tommy Lee Jones), took the Loewen Group, a Canadian funerals services company, to court.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic While it’s easy to imagine lawyers screaming “objection, your honor!” to the exaggerated courtroom theatrics of “The Burial,” good luck convincing audiences that this David v. Goliath legal showdown between a small-time Southern funeral home operator and an unethical Canadian billionaire should have played out any other way.

The Burial is a not-so-great title; it sounds like a horror film. I hope it doesn’t keep people away from this highly entertaining, crowd-pleasing movie that otherwise is an example of what good old fashioned Hollywood filmmaking can still be all about in the right hands. It feels bigger than life, but it is based on some pretty big lives indeed.

Released 20 years ago, Freaky Friday is a beloved movie that started a long-lasting friendship between its stars Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan. However, it almost looked very different!

EXCLUSIVE: We’re getting an exclusive first look at Paramount+’s Finestkind from Oscar winner Brian Helgeland, starring Jenna Ortega, Tommy Lee Jones, Ben Foster and Toby Wallace, ahead of its premiere Friday at the Toronto Film Festival. The film is set for a November premiere exclusively on Paramount+.

The trailer for Amazon’s Prime Video movie The Burial has arrived.

“The Royal Hotel” just had its world premiere at the Telluride Film Festival (our review coming soon), and it’s definitely one to watch for several reasons. For one, it’s filmmaker Kitty Green’s follow-up drama to her excellent narrative debut film, “The Assistant,” which tracked the Harvey Weinstein story from a lowly assistant POV.

How can one small business stand up to corporations? It might seem an unlikely question for a funeral home, but even that industry faces these issues. Maggie Betts’ “The Burial” looks at what happens when a small funeral home encounters corporate entities determined to corner the market on death care. The film, premiering at the 2023 Toronto Film Festival, finds a skilled acting duo in leads, Tommy Lee Jones and Jamie Foxx.

An unlikely pair are taking on big business.

“This fella tried to bully me out of business,” Jeremiah O’Keefe says. “I don’t think I should be expected to stand for it.” His wife reminds him, “You’ve never sued anybody before in your whole life.”

Want to watch something a little different on Apple TV+ this fall? How about “The Super Models,” a new documentary series that charts the careers of four of the biggest models ever: Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, and Christy Turlington. The four-part series looks back on when these four women first entered the modeling scene together in 1970s NYC, becoming worldwide sensations in the process.

A legendary new trailer for the upcoming four-part docuseries “The Super Models” has been unveiled.
