As promised yesterday Pixar and Disney have released the first trailer for their upcoming Italian inspired movie Luca.
The movie is set in the Northern part of Italy and is set in and around around the ligurian culture and its people.
The story is based around two young friends who have a deep secret that when water touches them they turn into sea monsters, it is based on Northern Italian folklore which the director grey up hearing.
The movie is directed by Enrico Casarosa who was an artist on Pixar's Coco and you can tell in this trailer as it just spills with the same style and feeling of that movie.
The movie is voiced by Jacob Tremblay and Jack Dylan Grazer in starring roles and is released on June 18th - the trailer doesn't say if it will be theatrical or Disney+!
After the cast of the new Spider-Man movie had a bit of fun with the title yesterday (February 23rd) today its been revealed the title will be Spider-Man: No Way Home.

The titles that were teased by the stars were Spider-man: Home Slice, Spider-Man: Phone Home and Spider-Man: Home Wrecker, as you can see 'Home' was clearly going to feature.
Now today Sony have released a video which gives the proper title a reveal and lets agree its better than the teased ones!
Its also worth remembering that "Home" has featured in all the Disney MCU Spider-Man movies, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home and now Spider-Man: No Way Home.
The current rumours suggest that the movie will be set in the multiverse that WanderVision on Disney+ is currently teasing and the new Doctor Strange movie will feature, and as Benedict Cumberbatch's Strange will be in the movie is a fair guess.
There is also big rumours, although denied by Tom Holland, that previous Spider-Man actors Toby Maquire and Andrew Garfield could be in the movie as two previous generation villains feature in the shape of Electro and Doctor Octopus as played by Jamie Foxx and Alfred Molina.
The movie is currently wrapping filming with Jon Watts directing and alongside Holland as Spider-Man is the returning Zendaya and Jacob Batalon.
The movie is set for a December 17th 2021 release and a trailer and official poster is sure to follow soon.
The new Bond movie No Time To Die has been hanging on to its November release date since it originally got delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic but today it gives in and the release date moves to April 2nd 2021.
Universal, the distribution company for the Bond series released this statement: - "MGM, Universal and Bond producers, Michael G Wilson and Barbara Broccoli, today announced the release of No Time To Die, the 25th film in the James Bond series, will be delayed until 2nd April in order to be seen by a worldwide theatrical audience, we understand the delay will be disappointing to our fans but we now look forward to sharing No Time To Die next year."
This is the latest of the big end of year movies to get moved to 2021 and with only a few left including Wonder Woman 1984 and Death On The Nile this is leaving 2020 very empty.
With cinemas struggling to reopen safely and attendance in those that have opened struggling even with only 25 - 50% capacity as evident with Tenet's poor box office figures it is no wonder the movie has been delayed.
Film distributers are starting to realise that 2020 is now basically a write off, but this is clearly having an effect on cinema chains that are struggling to stay in business.
The music video for the theme song by Billie Eillish was only released yesterday so this is perhaps strange timing, although the press for this movie is all over the place as the song hit number 1 on the music chart back in February, a couple of months before the original release date!
This is Daniel Craigs reported last outing as Bond but he's perhaps going to have to hang on a little longer for all the press junkets that will happen in March/April next year.
