Any review of Hulu's The Great should start off with this very important note: Are you an animal lover? Do you find it physically upsetting to watch any harm come to a furry creature, in real life or on-screen? Then The Great is definitely a hard pass for you.

Hulu has released the first trailer for The Great, a satirical period piece from the Oscar-nominated co-writer of The Favourite, Tony McNamara. The series stars Elle Fanning as Catherine the Great, the outsider who maneuvered her way to becoming Russia's longest-reigning leader.

Bleecker Street has released a new Teen Spirit trailer. The upcoming film stars Elle Fanning as Violet, a shy teenager with a great singing voice who dreams of escaping her small town by competing in a singing competition that could propel her to pop superstardom. This looks like a nice movie even if it is a bit simple.
