A new trailer for Ron Howard's epic In the Heart of the Sea, based on the book by Nathaniel Philbrick, features "a handful of dazzling CGI shots and no shortage of harrowing human drama," hinting that "the movie could be a late-in-the-game awards player," Indiewire reported. Opening December 11, the film stars Chris Hemsworth, Cillian Murphy, Tom Holland, Ben Whishaw and Brendan Gleeson.

In showcasing a trailer for the adaptation of Rick Yancey's The 5th Wave, Indiewire noted: "We're coming up to an interesting point in the recent history of the YA movie. Harry Potter and Twilight have come to an end, and The Hunger Games wraps up in November. And though there are a few possible contenders (The Maze Runner did better than most expected), most of the films trying to fill their gaps... have died on the vine. Will the same fate happen to The 5th Wave?" The cast includes Chloë Grace Moretz, Nick Robinson, Maika Monroe, Alex Roe, Liev Schreiber, Tony Revolori, Ron Livingston and Maggie Siff. The movie hits theaters January 15.
