The Trailer Thread - Room with a Preview

Look, there's D&D the Ideal, and then there's D&D how much shenanigans can the players get away with. They've tried the former with, to be charitble, mixed results. KODT, Critical Role, Nodwick, and many others show folks prefer the latter.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

I feel like this is either going to be a cool film or a big swing miss like the Matthew McConaughey but either way, I'm in. I just like when movies go for it.

"Not even you can kill everyone." Buddy,

 

[4-So]

I need y'all to watch this trailer, which won't embed for some reason, and go on a journey of finding out what this fucking movie is about, because no way in hell are you going to guess.

(I will consent to giving a heads-up for a common phobia/gore thing: at the very end of the trailer, someone gets stabbed in the eye)

Obligatory "wtf did I just watch".

 

[Torzelbaum]

Seems pretty straight forward to me. Just a slight variation on a classic tale.

Spoiler

• Boy meets girl
• Another suitor of the girl kills the boy out of jealousy
• Boy is reincarnated as a fly to get revenge on the other suitor / his killer

 

[Johnny Unusual]

From the director of the megahit RRR comes Man Vs. Bee but it's a fly

To me the big reveal is learning this movie came out 10 years ago.

Someone mentioned this to me and I figured it was going to be an offensive crude bro comedy, but it looks like it might take a turn into making a point of showing how oblivious and wrong the main character is? Maybe it'll take a turn so the main character isn't pro-war as he appears to be in the beginning?

I don't know what to think, it's a true story which is interesting and certainly not a take on the Vietnam War I've seen before. Weird.

 

[Rascally Badger]

From the director of Green Book. I'm expecting boomer nostalgia.

 

[muteKi]

From the director of Green Book.

Yeah I also have zero faith in this given that fact

 

[Violentvixen]

Ah, did not catch that. That was another one where the premise and trailer sounded interesting but then I heard nothing but bad things about the movie. Never mind.

 

[Purple]

So I just randomly ran across this one, and like, OK, it's Asylum, they suck in predictable ways that aren't even fun to make fun of, no way this is watchable, but the trailer itself, taken as a standalone work of art, is just beautiful. Well except for the last 10 seconds or so when it starts repeating ideas anyway.

UFO Sweden is an upcoming Swedish film about a young woman whose dad disappears mysteriously, after which she starts to hang out with a group of Swedish ufologists, since she suspects that her dad might have been abducted by aliens. It will be released in Sweden in december, but there are plans to release it internationally as well, at least in Europe via Netflix. No word on any american release yet. You can enable english subtitles on the trailer on YouTube:

The big reason I want to share this particular trailer is because one of my friends has a role in the film, as one of the ufologists. He has worked as an extra in some previous movies, but this is the first time he has a named character role in a major Swedish production. Needless to say, I have purely personal reasons to be excited!

 

[Johnny Unusual]

That's a pretty awesome reason!

 

[Torzelbaum]

Trukk and Munky!?

 

[Johnny Unusual]

This looks like the kind of psychological horror survival thriller perfect for me. And a one man show where Willem Dafoe goes into empathy mode? YES!

 

[Felicia]

Another trailer for UFO Sweden (with english subtitles available), starring my buddy!

 

[Johnny Unusual]

I know we've seen lots of Watergate stuff before but this looks really good.

 

[estragon]

this is a really good bit, whether any of this is in the movie or just a gag for the teaser

Pffft that's great

I want to share another trailer for a Swedish film that I have no idea if it will be released abroad (but there are English subtitles available for the trailer). The movie title is "Sockerexperimentet" ("The Sugar Experiment"), and it's a fictional depiction of a real, shameful event in modern Swedish history (during the 1940s), where humans were used unknowingly in a study to determine the correlation between sugar intake (specifically, candy) and tooth decay. The film hasn't been released yet, but just watching the trailer made me teary-eyed.

 

[Johnny Unusual]

New Ari Aster and I like that the trailer doesn't make it clear what genre this film is... or how many genres it is.

 

[Daikaiju]

[Daikaiju]

Anyone look at that trailer for 65 ...

and just woder why the gun's ammo count is on the side of the barrell?

 

[Felicia]

I wish the preview image didn't have a dinosaur skull. It really spoiled the frankly hillarious reveal.

 

[Becksworth]

They did it. The bastards finally made a movie of FUCKING TETRIS

(Disclaimer: It's about the fight over the international IP rights and looks legitimately good)

 

[Torzelbaum]

I saw that and was planning on posting it here.

So is Hollywood officially out of ideas or has someone developed a new designer drug that they're using to "inspire this creativity"?

 

[Becksworth]

Just noticed it's rated R for language. Howard Lincoln is going to be cursing up a storm in this, isn't he?

 

[Felicia]

I wonder if the film will feature Vladimir Pokhilko (warning: his story goes to some dark places) in any capacity?
