Who knew that the sequel to Ryan Gosling’s 2011 art-house thriller Drive would come in the form of a moving expose of the trials and tribulations of Uber drivers?
Well, this hilarious spoof trailer for Drive 2: The Uber Years imagines just that – with Gosling’s anonymous Driver character ditching his job of assisting robberies to work for the global cab company.

A brand new trailer for Star Trek Beyond has been released just one day after the first teaser for the upcoming TV reboot.
And unfortunately for the filmmakers, fans have reacted more positively to the TV teaser than they have to their flash, two and a half-minute promo for the third movie in the reboot series.
