Trailers for Upcoming Films

[yoloswegmaster]

An extremely short teaser for Bong Joon-ho's MICKEY 17

Trailer. A reminder that not enough people saw Riley Stearns' Dual.

Word is that since the director had Final Cut and refused to make any changes, WB is dumping this in January and will make no awards run for it

The release date has now moved to April. Do any of the higher ups at WB even know what they are doing at this point?

Paul Schrader's Oh, Canada

[brundlefly]

Halfdan Ullmann Tøndel's Armand. With Renate Reinsve.

And current events and recent rewatches of Talk Radio and Mississippi Burning reminded me I'd forgotten Justin Kurzel's The Order.

[dadaistnun]

Ramon Zürcher's The Sparrow in the Chimney.

[brundlefly]

On Becoming A Guinea Fowl from Rungano Nyoni (I Am Not a Witch).

Walter Salles' I'm Still Here.

Magnus von Horn's The Girl with the Needle.

And for Christmas, while Amazon was burning cash on The Rock and Captain America save Santa, Netflix got the director of Non-Stop to do the snowless Die Hard 2 knock-off Carry-On with Taron Egerton and Jason Bateman, and Hulu got David Gordon Green to break between reboots for Ben Stiller and adorable delinquent orphans.

Gia Coppola's The Last Showgirl.

Kaveh Daneshmand's Le syndrome de l'été sans fin.

I assume Taron Egerton will now star in a series of films where a Liam Neeson-type federal agent/cop gets caught up in a conspiracy on a mode of transport. But don't get me wrong, I liked those films.

Paolo Sorrentino's Parthenope.

[TechnicolorAcid]

Mel Gibson’s Flight Risk, featuring a somber cover of Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer.

[Never Cursed]

Mel Gibson’s Flight Risk, featuring a somber cover of Talking Heads’ Psycho Killer.

I saw this trailer ahead of an IMAX showing of Megalopolis. I was one of the few audience members to laugh harder at the movie than at this cover (though it's still pretty funny). Suicide Squad level music usage, and for all we know the same people who put the needle drops in that movie remixed the Talking Heads song for this one

[TechnicolorAcid]

The remix in this trailer actually reminds me of a funny story where I was at a Turkish cafe for about an hour and a half that played like 3 songs on repeat and 1 of them was a Tik-Tok style cover of In the End that just sung Chester’s parts (though whether I would’ve been madder at the singer rapping I’ll never know).

[brundlefly]

Anya Taylor-Joy is Gorge. Sorry. Anya Taylor-Joy is in Scott Derrikson's The Gorge, which here looks a little like Annihilation, but rom-com.

[Mr Sausage]

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a trailer more thoroughly and methodically spoil the exact movement of its plot.

[brundlefly]

Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later. Alex Garland returns to co-script.

[colinr0380]

Looks like a bit of a melding of the earlier films with a doubling down on John Wyndham-elements mixed with Garland's recent turn into gender-based rural ritual horror with Men (or going back as far as outsiders to the main community becoming its downfall that might trace as far back as The Beach). Also is that a cameo by a skeletal Cillian Murphy?!

Rob Tregenza's The Fishing Place

Anna Kristiansen, imprisoned by the Nazis during the German occupation of Norway, finds herself in a precarious position when Norwegian Nazi Officer Aksel Hansen secures her release. Her freedom comes with a daunting price. Anna is dispatched to the hydroelectric town of Notodden to spy on Adam Honderich, a German High Church Lutheran Minister/Priest suspected of resistance activities. Conflicted by the moral ambiguity of her situation, but given only three days to succeed, she must survive sudden obstacles, the brutality of war, gestell, rapidly shifting cultures, all while seeking some final hope of redemption. The Minister/Priest goes fishing.

This will have a run at MoMA early next year.

[colinr0380]

The first film starring Geoffrey Rush in six years following his 'troubles' will have him being terrorised by a puppet wielding John Lithgow in a nursing home in The Rule of Jenny Pen. (I like to hope they'll reach the lofty heights of Mr Flibble from Red Dwarf)

[brundlefly]

When Alex Garland said he was "not planning to direct again in the foreseeable future" all the way back in April, he didn't say he wasn't planning to co-direct. So: Ray Mendoza and Alex Garland's real-time Iraq war film Warfare (NSFW).

No more of these American imperialism, bootlicking pieces of propaganda, please

Is there some source material for this film? If not, I'm not sure how you can definitively say that's the tone/message of the film just from that trailer. And it would certainly be out of character for Alex Garland.

It certainly sounds like this based on Deadline’s write-up

[willoneill]

I'm still going to give Garland the benefit of the doubt. His past comments and positions, particularly around Civil War, don't lead me to believe he's all of a sudden putting his name on American Sniper 2: Iraqi Boogaloo.

[Mr Sausage]

Mostly it looks like a gripping siege-style action movie ala Black Hawk Down and 13 Hours. I'm guessing it'll be very exciting, not explicitly political, but certainly impressed with the American military and its sense of duty and brotherhood among soldiers. It'll be very precise on the local, experiential level, but will make no attempt at a wider context.

I'll go see it.

[Walter Kurtz]

I can't wait for the inevitable sequel Black Hawk Down Guys vs Warfare SEALS and Also That Sniper Dude Somewhere with 'Cat' Ballou in a Special Guest Appearance.
