Trailer Watch: Deadpool is on His Best Behavior in Recut 'Once Upon a Deadpool' | No Film School

Although not unprecedented, the upcoming release of David Leitch's Once Upon a Deadpool, a recut, PG-13 censored version of his earlier 2018 hit, Deadpool 2, is an odd beast indeed.

Known for its raw, raunchy dialogue and extreme, bloodthirsty violence, the R-rated comic book series starring Ryan Reynolds as the titular masked superhero, has found immense popularity for being non-kid-friendly. Now comes news that a PG-13 version, cleaned up for, we suspect, young children who wish to spend the holidays with their families at a local multiplex listening to a severely less foul-mouthed protagonist, is headed to theaters on December 12th, 2018.

A teaser trailer has just dropped for the upcoming release and it features Deadpool preparing to read a Christmastime story to actor Fred Savage, a thespian who knows a thing or two about being read bedtime stories in movies (Rob Reiner's 1987 children's film, The Princess Bride, says hello). There are hardly any scenes from the censored cut shown here—if you want that, we suggest Googling a scene from Deadpool 2 and tightly covering your ears—but the banter between Reynolds and Savage (as well as a crude sight gag involving an elderly couple and the Pixar Academy Award winner, Up) is inspired enough to get Deadpool fans excited enough to give it a watch.

'Tis the season for a little more Deadpool, and 20th Century Fox, who is agreeing to donate one dollar from each ticket sold to the Fuck Cancer campaign at Reynolds's request, is hoping this truly takes off.

What's the Hype With 'Interstellar' Revisiting Cinemas After a Decade in 70mm IMAX?

Here's Why You Need to Revisit 'Interstellar' in 70mm IMAX

Celebrate the love and hope at the center of Nolan's space epic in the format it was meant to be seen.

If we know anything about Christopher Nolan, he likes to go big. Nolan started with smaller-scale stories (as many of us do) with early noir adjacent works like Following, Memento, and Insomnia, then started going and staying big with his illusionist drama The Prestige. Since then, the scale has been various degrees of massive, with the biggest scope in his time-and-space sprawling epic, Interstellar.

While Interstellarmight not be everyone's favorite Nolan outing, there's no denying it's an impressive feat of filmmaking and his most emotional—if watching Matthew McConaughey's Cooper desperately try to reach his family through quantum space-time doesn't make you cry at least a little bit, what's going on, dude?

With Interstellar'sIMAX release, it's a great time to shed some tears in a public setting in one of the most prestigious film formats around. As we mentioned in our film gauge piece, Nolan loves shooting on film and utilizes 65mm intentionally to provoke a tone of massive scale. In that regard, Interstellar was made for 70mm IMAX. That goes without saying, dawg. That being said, other factors make Interstellar a perfect movie to revisit in theaters while you can.

Let's break down the release further below.
