The Trailer Thread - Room with a Preview

Interestingly, Ghandi is in one of the test tubes at the beginning.

 

[Tegan]

Gandhi is what got the show cancelled the first time, so they clarified immediately that he will not be in the new show.

I'm not really feeling it from the trailer. The humour isn't what I expect, but they might also just be picking whatever they feel are the safest gags to lure new people in.

 

[lincolnic]

I really had no idea about that, thanks for the info.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

I feel like Apple+ is bringing out series that look like they could be interesting. It would be easy to get preachy (and may) but there's a good cast and potential for this to be pretty interesting.

 

[Paul le Fou]

Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?

I didn't realize this was happening! I am cautiously optimistic. I know it said Miller and Lord are involved again, but are they actually writing and directing or just producing?


Speaking of Miller and Lord,

Can't find any info about directing, but they're executive producing and writing (at least some of the episodes) as well as reprising their original roles as JFK and Scudworth, respectively. And another original writer, Erica Rivinoja, is the showrunner.

 

[Rascally Badger]

I was on the fence with this, but then I found out it is going to have a touch of the Tucc, so I'm in.

Banner year for Dracula...

They really went with "slowed down version of Bullet With Butterfly Wings." Are they trying to trick us in to thinking it's a Zack Snyder movie?

Despite all my rage, we're still giving Billy Corgan money in 2023.

That looks really bad on top of the 3 or 4 different things that have me saying "really?" about the premise, but the questionable trailer music did at least make me laugh.

 

[Fredde]

I dunno, I kind of like the idea of remaking Alien, set on an 1800s sailship with Dracula as the xenomorph.

I agree but I'm also open to the possibility it's a decent movie with a poor trailer trailer since the director has done a number of well-received movies at this point (Trollhunter, Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, The Autopsy of Jane Doe). But that music is so ridiculous.

 

[Violentvixen]

I think the premise could be cool because that chapter of the original novel is so spooky yet leaves so much unsaid. But the second I saw a happy dog in the trailer I turned it off because I figure something terrible is going to happen to that poor dog.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

A sequel to the Meg does not deserve to look as fun as this...

 

[Bongo]

 

[lincolnic]

I can't lie, I'm interested.

"Is this a movie about Cheetos?" I start to type as a joke as the trailer loads.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

This movie looks *lowers shades* dangerously cheesy.

Seriously though, it does look very... seriously I want to say cornball or saccharine but everything is turning into a pun that ironically can also be described as the words I am using.

 

[Daikaiju]

Huh. Color me intrigued.

 

[Daikaiju]

Also didn't realize Flaming Hot dated that far back.

 

[Violentvixen]

I heard about it because people are excited about the Latino representation which is neat to see and hopefully pans out. Also female Latina director.
