Fatham Entertainment has released a new trailer for the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles re-release in celebration of its 35th anniversary. It's wild that this movie came out 35 freakin' years ago! Fathom Entertainment is bringing the movie back to the big screen for two special dates: Saturday, August 16, and Wednesday, August 20. And fans are getting more than just a nostalgic revisit. Directed by Steve Barron and produced by New Line Cinema, the original film wasn't just a huge hit, it was a landmark. With the help of Jim Henson's Creature Shop, the Turtles were brought to life using state-of-the-art animatronic suits and puppetry. The result was an awesome gritty, funny, and faithful adaptation that fans of the franchise loved! I love this movie! I actually watched it in the big screen a few months ago for the first time in years, and that was a very cool experience, one that you need to experience for yourself if your a fan! Fathom Entertainment CEO Ray Nutt summed up the spirit of the event, saying, 'Few titles in recent memory have as large and rabid a fanbase as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It's Turtle Time, and Fathom Entertainment is proud to be part of Turtlemania and help make possible a 35th anniversary celebration like no other on the big screen. Moviegoers across generations will revel in the action and excitement.' Adding to the experience, audiences will also get to see Turtles Unmasked , a brand-new featurette that digs into the behind-the-scenes madness of making the film. In the film, Four teenage mutant ninja turtles emerge from the sewers to protect New York City from a masked gang of criminal ninjas. Turtlemania is back! Experience one of the biggest and most widely anticipated movie anniversary celebrations of the year with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. This movie stars Brian Tochi as Leonardo, Corey Feldman as Donatello, Josh Pais as Raphael, Robbie Rist as Michelangelo, and Kevin Clash as Splinter, the Turtles' master. And features Judith Hoag and Elias Koteas. Produced alongside the team behind TMNT: Evolution, Mutation & Reboot , the mini-doc includes never-before-seen archival footage, extended scenes that didn't make the final cut, and even personal video diary footage from director Steve Barron reflecting on the film's production challenges. If you're a fan of this movie this is your chance to relive the turtle-powered magic with a crowd of fellow fans! The trailer for the 35th anniversary rerelease may be viewed below.

STAR WARS Is Heading Back to Theaters for Its 50th Anniversary Celebration — GeekTyrant

It's hard to believe, but Star Wars is about to turn 50 years old, and how is the galaxy far, far away planning to celebrate this massive milestone? By heading back to where it all began… the big screen. Disney just announced that George Lucas' original Star Wars will be re-released in theaters on April 30, 2027, giving fans a chance to experience the iconic space adventure the way it was meant to be seen. While the official anniversary lands on May 25, 2027, Disney is dropping the re-release a little early because that weekend is already locked in for the debut of a brand-new film, Star Wars: Starfighter , starring Ryan Gosling. This theatrical return comes hot on the heels of Star Wars Celebration Los Angeles, which runs from April 1 to 4, 2027. With all eyes on the franchise during that time, you can bet Lucasfilm will lean in hard on promoting the return of the original film. There's even a chance we'll see some of the original cast and crew reunite during the celebration. The big mystery right now is what version of Star Wars fans will get. Will it be the 1997 Special Edition, the version George Lucas considers definitive, complete with added scenes and updated visual effects? That's the safe bet. But there's a growing glimmer of hope among die-hard fans. Just last month, Kathleen Kennedy attended a rare screening of an untouched original print of Star Wars , not even labeled as Episode IV: A New Hope . That screening has fans wondering if Lucasfilm is gearing up for something even more special. Maybe they're cooking up a new restoration of the unaltered theatrical version. Or even a version that fuses the best elements from both cuts. Whatever it is, if Lucasfilm drops the original, unedited classic, it'll be the holy grail moment fans have been dreaming of. The 1977 classic tells the story of a farm boy named Luke Skywalker, played by Mark Hamill, who gets swept into a galaxy-wide rebellion with Princess Leia (Carrie Fisher), Obi-Wan Kenobi (Alec Guinness), and the roguish Han Solo (Harrison Ford). It changed cinema forever and kicked off a cultural phenomenon that includes sequels, prequels, spinoffs, shows, novels, comics, and a mountain of collectibles. So, get ready to relive the magic. Whether it's the original theatrical cut or the Special Edition, Star Wars returning to theaters in 2027 is going to be a fun event for longtime fans and a perfect introduction for a new generation.

14 Of The Coolest Trainers To Wear In 2025, Recommended By Sneakerheads

It might be hot outside, but fashion's It sneakers are as cool as they come. Whether you exclusively wear sneakers exclusively for workouts or they're your go-to shoe year-round, a great pair can make you feel effortlessly stylish and even more confident—as long as you know the ones that will up your style cred. That's where our experts come in. I spoke with Rachel Makar, senior director of merchandising at StockX, and Ricardo Lajoie, global chief merchant of Vans, to get their takes on what makes a sneaker 'cool' today. And don't worry—you get to shop their expert advice, too. 'What's considered "cool" in sneakers today is super personal,' says Makar. 'People want something fun, and designers who are pushing the limits and thinking outside the norm are winning—the overnight success of the ballerina sneaker and the massive rise of the "snoafer" are perfect examples.''Cool is when form, function, and story intersect—when what you're wearing says something without saying anything,' adds Lajoie. 'It's not just the silhouette, but who's wearing it, how they're styling it, and what the sneaker stands for.'The takeaway? Cool is a state of mind, with a different definition for everyone. Sneakers can add to your cool, but it's up to you to make them your own. And while there's no shortage of cool sneakers, it can be intimidating to wade through the hundreds—if not thousands—of options. Want to get started? Shop our favorite styles that are cool now (and will be for seasons to come), below. Miu Miu has practically driven the sneaker trends of recent seasons. The reason everyone's buying skinny, flat, retro sneakers? It's all thanks to Miu Miu. Everyone say, 'Thank Miu.' Colours: Navy, White Material: Technical fabric, soft suede Gucci's vintage-esque Re-Motion sneakers are the perfect way to test out the runner trend without feeling too casual. And in burgundy, with a cute ankle strap (an ideal place to add charms, might I add), they're a timely mix of wearable trends. Colours: Burgundy, Olive, Chartreuse, Ivory Material: Nylon, suede 'I'm a big fan of runners and revamped performance styles,' says Makar. 'Some of our top performers are the Gel-NYC from Asics and Salomon's XT-6 and the newer XT-Whisper. The appeal lies in their ability to blend comfort and edge. Once strictly for the gym or trail, these models now work dressed up or down, for a sporty fit or a more elevated look at the office. It's a great time for sneakers that balance utility with style.' Colours: Fairy Tale/Footwear Silver Material: Leather, rubber Rihanna is the final boss when it comes to cool. Naturally, her Fenty x Puma collab—especially the denim pair, tied to her latest movie, Smurfs—is also ultra-cool. Pro-tip: size up! Colours: Blue Denim Material: Denim upper 'A sneaker that lasts isn't chasing moments—it's built from one,' says Lajoie. 'The classics endure because they connect to a broader cultural truth, whether it's a subculture, a sport, or a social movement.' Vans embodies that ethos with the Super Lowpro, inspired by the Serio Style 84. Colours: White, Black, Red, Blue, Light Blue Material: Suede and nylon upper Tabi discourse aside, the split-toe design of the Margiela Tabi sneaker serves as a unique conversation starter and subtly marks you as a fashion insider. Colours: Black Material: Canvas, rubber The 9060 offers a feminine, futuristic twist on the dad-shoe trend—representing another stylish evolution from the past year. 'Reviving archived styles has been extremely successful because there's an element of nostalgia built in,' Makar says. 'When you combine that emotional connection with wearability and strong design, you create real longevity.' Colours: Rain Cloud Material: Suede, mesh 'Right now, one of the most exciting trends we're seeing is the rise of ballet-inspired sneakers,' says Makar. 'Styles like the Adidas Taekwondo Mei Ballet, the Puma Speedcat Ballet, and the Adidas Ballerina Bad Bunny are a few of the biggest movers, and they all blend a sleek, feminine look with practical wearability.' Colours: White, Black, Yellow Material: Leather, suede, and rubber There's something super edgy about an all-black sneaker (I would know—I have four pairs). On's collaboration with FKA Twigs is even cooler, with paneled mesh and all-black laces. Material: Mesh, suede Yellow Onitsuka Tiger sneakers are all over the streets of New York City. Vibrant, statement-making sneakers are the perfect way to top off an ultra-cool outfit. Colours: Yellow Material: Suede, rubber Cleat-inspired sneakers are having a moment, and Gola's take offers the perfect mix of athletic and casual. Colours: White, Black, Hot Pink Worn-in accessories—at least, aesthetically—are still very much trending. So is suede. Golden Goose fuses both in its famously disheveled-looking gray suede sneakers. Colours: Grey Material: Suede A shoe that ELLE senior fashion commerce editor Dale Arden Chong calls 'a mix between an Air Max and a running sneaker,' the highly coveted Nike Pegasus Premium features springy cushioning, high energy return, and breathable material. Colours: White/Multi-color Material: Mesh, foam Texture and pattern offer compelling ways to infuse personal style and expression into your look. The Adidas Samba sneaker, designed in collaboration with Wales Bonner, features a distinctive metallic and croc-embossed texture—a prime example of the concept.
