What you may need to know.

1. A bit of a guilty pleasure, but I love the whole Toy Story franchise,

2. Lightyear is an upcoming 3D computer animated film produced by Pixar and a part of the Toy Story canon. It will be Pixar’s 26th animated feature.

2. It is the definitive origin story of Buzz Lightyear — the hero who inspired the toy. The film reveals how a young test pilot became a Space Ranger.

3. The Trailer carries with it all the humour, thrills and wonder we’ve come to expect from the Toy Story empire, with David Bowie’s iconic “Starman” tune lending its stirring notes to inspiring scenes of daredevil spaceflight, a more menacing Emperor Zurg, purple intergalactic portals, tentacled alien creatures and Buzz’s personal companion robot, Sox.

4. Chris Evans replaces Tim Allen for the voice of Buzz Lightyear in this iteration of the character and he’s got the perfect cadence and tone to pull it off.

5. Lightyear is directed by Angus MacLane, who helmedshort films BURN-E, Toy Story Toons: Small Fry, and the television special Toy Story of Terror.

Andy’s Verdict: Deadly Buzz.

Release date: June 17.

What you may need to know.

1. In the first official trailer for their upcoming horror-comedy film Studio 666, the Foo Fighters are going to gain a seventh member — that is, if the paranormal demon possessing Dave Grohl’s body and trying to kill his fellow bandmates counts toward the lineup.

2, Directed by BJ McDonnell, Studio 666 takes some creative liberties in the retelling of the rock band’s experience recording their latest record Medicine at Midnight.

3, The trailer finds the Foo Fighters settling into a supposedly haunted mansion in Encino, California, for a change of environment in hopes of creating a stellar tenth studio album.

4. But as the days go by, Grohl’s writer’s block – which is brushed off by Lionel Richie ( yeah you read that right )  and the rest of the band – feelings of unease give way to something much stranger than they had anticipated.

5, From there, Grohl’s demons become less creative and more literal as he’s overtaken by a spirit with a knack for violence. During one recording session, his domineering frontman nature leads to a gory decapitation by way of a shiny gold cymbal, as you do.

6. The film stars Grohl and fellow Foos’  Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel, Pat Smear, Chris Shiflett, and Rami Jaffee alongside Whitney Cummings, Leslie Grossman and Jenna Ortega.

Andy’s Verdict: Shakes head up and down while thinking of The Shining.

Release date: February 25.
