Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Brad Bird (The Incredibles), Tomorrowland casts Clooney as a former boy-genius and Britt Robertson as a clever, optimistic teenager whose life is forever changed when she comes into possession of a mysterious pin that transports her to a strange city located somewhere between space and time and filled with amazing technology.

The new trailer offers a glimpse at what happens when the two main characters cross paths, and the wild adventure filled with robots, rocket ships, and a menagerie of sci-fi elements that spins out of their meeting.

Along with releasing the new trailer, Walt Disney Pictures launched the official website for the film. The interactive site lets visitors explore the enigmatic city and offers quite a bit more information about the premise for the film, which is based on the Disney theme park attraction of the same name, taking a page from the billion-dollar Pirates of the Caribbean handbook.

The trailer was also accompanied by an announcement that a special presentation of new footage from Tomorrowland will be screened in IMAX theaters around the world beginning May 1, and an extended preview of the film will screen before IMAX presentations of Avengers: Age of Ultron. Heck, if viewers wait long enough, they may not have to go to the film at all.

The 7 best thrillers of 2024, ranked
A man looks down in Juror #2.

Looking back on an entire year through any lens is hard, and that’s especially true if you love movies. Every year comes with a handful of masterpieces (we're still not over Anora), a handful of total disasters (ahem, Kraven: The Hunter), and plenty of things that land somewhere in between.
If you’re looking for some of the year’s best thrillers, though, you should know that 2024 was actually a pretty good year for the genre. From Netflix originals to other titles that made it to theaters, here’s a rundown of the seven best thrillers from the past year.
We also have guides to the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
7. Juror #2 (2024)
Juror #2 - Official Trailer - Warner Bros. UK & Ireland
Clint Eastwood is well into his 90s now, and even so, he still seems to have an intuitive sense of how to put together a gripping narrative. Juror #2 tells the story of a regular guy living in Georgia who finds himself selected to serve on a jury for a crime he quickly realizes he might have committed.
As he wrestles with his potential guilt, he also starts to wonder whether he should turn himself in and save an innocent man. If he does, he'll abandon his pregnant wife and unborn child. Nicholas Hoult leads the cast in this remarkably complicated thriller, which challenges you to question your ethics and asks impossible questions with no easy answers.
You can watch Juror #2 on Max.
6. Love Lies Bleeding (2024)
Love Lies Bleeding | Official Trailer HD | A24
What starts as a grounded thriller gradually becomes something more fantastical in Rose Glass' genre-defying Love Lies Bleeding. The movie follows two women who fall in love with one another in the 1980s, and slowly work to extract one half of them from the criminal life that they have tried to leave behind.
Anchored by rock-solid central performances from Kristen Stewart and newcomer Katy O’Brien, Love Lies Bleeding is stranger and more intoxicating than you might expect. It's an excellent thriller, but it also works as a bizarre love story with an ending you'll have to see to believe.
You can watch Loves Lies Bleeding on Max. 
5. Civil War (2024)
Civil War | Official Trailer HD | A24
Set in an alternate version of modern America that has been torn apart by civil war, Civil War tells the story of a group of journalists traveling to Washington, D.C., to chronicle what are likely the war’s final days.
While the movie doesn’t offer much detail on the politics of the struggle, what it does is create a world where violence is constantly possible, and you’re never certain about whether you can trust the people around you.
You can watch Civil War on Max. 
4. Longlegs (2024)
LONGLEGS | Official Trailer | In Theaters July 12

A terrifying, exhilarating riff on The Silence of the Lambs that is a little less straightforward than that movie, Longlegs tells the story of an FBI agent who is tasked with investigating a series of potentially related murders. What she finds instead is something far more unsettling, and personal, than she bargained for.

Like A Complete Unknown? Then stream these 5 essential Bob Dylan movies
Timothee Chalamet holds a guitar and stares in A Complete Unknown.

Few musicians in the history of pop music have managed to capture the popular imagination in quite the same way that Bob Dylan has. Dylan is an enigma, and he's worked hard to maintain an image of unknowability in spite of his massive fame.

That may be why so many movies have been made about the folk musician, a combination of documentary and fiction films that stretches from the 1960s all the way to today. In honor of A Complete Unknown, which is out now in theaters nationwide, we've pulled together something of a syllabus of other essential Dylan movies. Without further ado, here they are.
