Rio shows off its groove in this new trailer

By Ryan Fleming Published February 7, 2011

The new animated film Rio has dropped a new trailer on the Super Bowl (it’s supposed to be good luck). Developed by 20th Century Fox and Blue Sky Studios, the people behind the Ice Age franchise, as well as Robots and Dr. Seuss’ Horton Hears a Who! is back with Rio, the story of two birds finding adventure and love in Rio de Janeiro.

Blu (voiced by Jesse Eisenberg) is a timid and socially awkward member of the rare blue macaw family who is taken down to Rio in order to mate with Jewel (voiced by Anne Hathaway). The two do not hit it off, and Jewel is forced to help the flightless Blu along the way after the two escape into Rio. Hijinks ensue.

Michael Keaton’s outlaw ghost returns in the new Beetlejuice Beetlejuice trailer

A woman and Betelgeuse stand next to each other with confused looks on their faces.

Michael Keaton's Beetlejuice is back to wreak havoc on the Deetz family in the latest trailer for Beetlejuice Beetlejuice.

"The living. The dead. Can they coexist? That's what we're here to find out," Winona Ryder's Lydia Deetz proclaims in the trailer. Set to an ominous version of Day-O (The Banana Boat Song), the new footage begins at the funeral for Lydia's father, Charles Deetz, played by Jeffrey Jones in Beetlejuice. While in Winter River, Lydia's teenage daughter, Astrid (Wednesday's Jenna Ortega), discovers the model of the town in the attic and accidentally opens the portal to the Afterlife. Once Beetlejuice's name is said three times, the titular "bio-exorcist" (Keaton) returns to haunt and terrorize the Deetz family.

Longlegs trailer: Nicolas Cage goes crazy in a new horror movie

A woman stands against a wall with a scared look on her face in "Longlegs."

Who better to play a sinister and disturbing character than Nicolas Cage? The Oscar-winner sounds legitimately terrifying in the chilling trailer for Longlegs, Neon's upcoming horror movie from director Osgood Perkins.

Longlegs stars Maika Monroe as Lee Harker, an FBI agent assigned to work on a cold case involving a serial killer played by Cage. The cryptic trailer never shows Cage's face, but his sadistic voice can be heard as he stalks and frightens Monroe's Harker. While speaking about his character to The New York Times, Cage said, "I play […] a possessed Geppetto. He makes these dolls, and these dolls infiltrate families and get the families to do terrible things.”
