Jack Sparrow is back and more irreverent than ever!
The new trailer for Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales makes its TV debut on Thursday's The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and shows Johnny Depp's pirate character in some deep water when ghost sailors, led by Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem), escape from Devil's Triangle and are looking to kill him and every pirate they find at sea.
Watch: Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood Have Epic Lord of the Rings Reunion With Co-Stars
"I once knew a Spaniard named something in Spanish," Jack Sparrow says of Salazar.
"They're coming for you, Jack," Henry (Brenton Thwaites), a young sailor in the Royal Navy, warns. "Where's your ship? Where's your crew? Your pants!"

Groundhog Day and 10 more films about time, dreams, and perceptionGroundhog Day and 10 more films about time, dreams, and perceptionAdriana Floridia2/2/2017 10:30:00 Am
Today is Groundhog Day, where the myth lives on that a groundhog who sees his shadow will doom us to a longer winter than we deserve. Then there is Harold Ramis’ Groundhog Day, the film in which Bill Murray’s weatherman, Phil Connors mysteriously finds himself living the same day over and over again. On a traditional level the movie is a comedy, but it actually touches upon some really dark philosophical themes. It’s estimated by the filmmakers that Phil lives the same day for 10 years.
In honour of Groundhog Day, we’re taking a look back at ten other films that deal with time, memory, dreams, and repeated experiences. While there may be no film that tackles the topic as precisely as Groundhog Day, these...

Oculus Studios has new virtual reality content for sports fans. The Vr production company has launched the documentary Striving for Greatness: An Uninterrupted Original, starring NBA star LeBron James, on Samsung Gear Vr.
The 12-minute Striving for Greatness documentary follows James during training sessions for his 13th NBA season and provides interview with the NBA player and his trainers. Developed by Oculus Studios, the documentary was produced by Vr company Felix & Paul Studios alongside Uninterrupted, the sports lifestyle multimedia production company and network co-founded by James and Maverick Carter in early 2015. Uninterrupted originally launched portions of the documentary on its Facebook page earlier this year as part of that site’s 360-degree video efforts.
Virtual reality experiences have started to make an appearance in the online video world over the last year. In January, Vice announced Spike Jonze would direct the media company’s first-ever virtual reality program. Then in July,...

Facebook and YouTube are currently battling for online video supremacy, but at the same time, they are emerging as rivals in the world of virtual reality, too. As YouTube rolls out its own library of 360-degree videos that can be viewed on devices like Google Cardboard, Facebook is support its own Vr projects. One recent premiere on the Facebook-owned Oculus Rift is Henry, a short film from former Pixar animator Ramiro Lopez Dau.
Henry has an adorable premise that would not be out of place in a pre-feature Pixar short. It centers on the titular porcupine, who loves to give hugs despite his prickly nature. Dau is using the project to experiment with Vr storytelling techniques. "Can you make a character emote in Vr? How does it feel? Those questions were at the core of Henry," he told The Hollywood Reporter.

If Virtual Reality – long the frustrated bridesmaid of how we experience movies, TV and other media – is ever to realise its full potential, it has to evolve and adapt, and most importantly, reach the public on a much wider scale than it has before. The Oculus team, which is looking to bring Vr headsets to the world, has decided to push into another frontier: storytelling using the technology. To that end, they've developed and made a short film called Henry. You can catch the trailer below. Henry is the second short to come from Oculus' Story Studio, and is designed to push the boundaries for Vr films. Directed by Pixar veteran Ramiro Lopez Dau, it’s the story of a hedgehog spurned by everyone around him because of his painful habit of trying to hug everyone. He makes a birthday wish for some friends and... Well, that would be spoiling it.
