Joker
Put on your happy face: The final trailer for director Todd Phillips' vision of the Joker is here. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, the film takes place in 1980s Gotham and looks at the early days of Authur Fleck's rise to crime kingpin and Batman's number one nemesis. It'll take place outside of the DC Extended Universe, and rather conveniently sets aside Jared Leto's take on the Clown Prince of Crime. Joker comes to theaters October 4, 2019.
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker
The saga of Anakin, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie, Ben, Rey, and all the rest will soon come to an end. The film will be the last in the Skywalker Saga, closing a 42-year chapter. Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker arrives in theaters December 20, 2019.
Ford v Ferrari
For years, Ferrari dominated the 24 hours of Le Mans. In 1966, Ford broke that streak by winning the race for the first time with the Ford GT40. In the film, Matt Damon and Christian Bale portray Carroll Shelby and Ken Miles to retell the creation of Ford's legendary race car. Directed by James Mangold, Ford v Ferrari is slated for release November 15, 2019.
Diego Maradona
Diego Maradona is a soccer legend. Regarded by many as the best to ever play, the Argentine-born footballer has the "Goal of the Century" and became the first player ever to break the world transfer fee twice. From the director of Amy and Senna, this documentary is compiled from 500-hours of unseen footage taken from Maradona's personal archive to profile the sports icon like never before. The film will go to theaters on June 14, 2019.
The Report
After 9/11, Senate staffer Daniel Jones begins investigating the CIA's Detention and Interrogation Program. His findings prove their techniques to be brutal, immoral, and ineffective, and The White House will do just about anything to keep his report for getting out. Starring Adam Driver, Annette Bening, Jon Hamm, and Michael C. Hall, The Report will go to theaters on November 15, 2019, before streaming on Amazon Prime November 29th.
2001: A Space Odyssey Epilogue
203 years after Frank Poole is left to die in space by the out-of-control AI HAL 9000, Frank comes across an artifact he's seen before, somewhere, in some other time. Imagining an epilogue to Stanley Kubrick's landmark 2001: A Space Odyssey, Steve Begg's terrifying vision of Frank's life after the events of the film is nearly as ambiguous and unnerving as the film itself.

Oris Movember Edition Watch
The Movember Foundation has been raising money for men's physical and mental health issues since 2003, using the power of community to help spread awareness. Now they're teaming with Swiss watchmaker Oris and Yankees manager Aaron Boone — someone who knows a thing or two about the power of a team — on the Movember Edition watch. Based on Oris' iconic Chronoris model, it has a 39mm stainless steel case and a black dial with rose gold-plated hour and minute hands. It also features an orange second hand, and white indices that come together to create a pleasing vintage feel. An Oris 733 automatic movement powers the timepiece, which arrives on either a brown leather strap with a Movember signature mustache imprint or a stainless steel bracelet. It's packaged in a special presentation box with a leather travel pouch and a more casual red and white NATO fabric strap — a perfect bonus for those who know the importance of getting out and spending time in their community.
Presented by Oris.

The new colors go with almost anything, and just like the rest of the line they're soft, comfortable, and will never look dated.

Recycled Skateboard Eames Lounge Chair
The Eames Loung Chair is one of the most iconic chairs to ever be made. While the molded plywood shell and leather cushion has seen its share of remixes over its 60-year history, Andrew Szeto has taken a more unconventional approach. The Ottawa-based carpenter built his version of the classic lounger from pieces of recycled skateboards. He shares all the details in this how-to.

His Dark Materials fans have a reason to celebrate. Sir Philip Pullman's trilogy is coming to HBO.

1917

Punkt. MP02 Mobile Phone
To kick off the launch of Uncrate Issue 05 and the return of our favorite not-smartphone, the Punkt MP02, we've partnered with Punkt, Grand Classics, and Mark Ronson to host a VIP screening of 1983's The King of Comedy, staring Robert De Niro. Personally selected by Mark Ronson, the film is a timely choice given its direct influence on this month's release of Joker, and as De Niro also appears in Joker as homage to his character in The King of Comedy. On October 16th at the Public Arts venue, at New York's Public Hotel, a select group of guests and friends of Mark Ronson, Punkt, Grand Classics, and Uncrate gathered for the screening and cocktails. Punkt, maker's of minimalist technology, chose to partner with Grand Classics on this screening due the increasingly frustrating effect of smartphones on the film community. Often used to snap pictures that leak a film's plot details well before release, smartphones have become a drag on sets around the world. Punkt's MP02 phone, a camera-less work of art, fixes not only this issue but allows anyone to disconnect from the distracting while remaining connected via a good old fashioned phone call or basic text message. Animoji's need not apply.

Apex: The Secret Race Across America
In 1983, a racing record was set that many thought couldn't be broken: 32 hours and seven minutes from the East Coast of the United States to the West Coast.

That record fell in 2007, and Apex: The Secret Race Across America documents how it all happened.

Porsche At The Gotthard Pass
Located in the Swiss Alps, the Gotthard Pass has been one of the most important parts of the Swiss Confederacy that became modern Switzerland.

Filmed with a DJI drone system, a Porsche 356 Speedster and brand-new 911 Speedster weave their way along one of the most breathtaking roads in the world.
