Adam Sandler has got the beard going in this trailer so I guess this is going to be one of his serious roles. That’s fine, I prefer Sandler when he’s being serious.
Here’s the trailer for Netflix’s Hustle:
HBOMax’s House of the Dragon is scheduled to premiere on August 21st. I’ll be curious to see what kind of reception is given to this Game of Thrones prequel. The finale of GoT left a sour taste in the mouths of many fans and it’s still one of those topics that you don’t dare mention on twitter unless you want to risk finding yourself in the middle of a very passionate debate. Nearly everyone seems to agree that, after all the build-up, ending with Bram the Broken ruling the kingdom was a bit of a letdown. I’ll be curious to see if those disappointed by how GoT wrapped up will still be willing to give House of the Dragon a chance. Or have we all moved on?
Personally, I think the trailer looks intriguing. And speaking of trailers, here it is:
A lot of people on Twitter were very, very excited today when the trailer for Weird dropped.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is …. well, the plot is right there in the title. It’s the Al Yankovic story. Since Yankovic has reportedly managed to avoid drugs, alcohol, and all of the other usual rock star debauchery, one can imagine that this will be a music biopic unlike any other.
Playing the title character is Daniel Radcliffe. Radcliffe, I have to say, has had a varied and interesting career ever since his former franchise ended. I guess one of the advantages of having Harry Potter money is that you can afford to take a few risks when it comes to picking your films. Good for him. We need actors who are willing to take chances.
Here’s the trailer. Weird will stream on Roku later this year.
Don’t Worry, Darling is one of the most anticipated films of the year. Not only is it Olivia Wilde’s second film as a director but it also stars two of the hottest performers around right now, Florence Pugh and Harry Styles! Set in the 1950s, Don’t Worry, Darling is described as being a psychological thriller, one in which a wife discover some dark secrets not only about her husband but also about the seemingly perfect community in which they live.
Here’s the trailer:
The dinosaurs and their friends, new, old, and somewhere in between, will all return on June 10th.
Til then, here is the 2nd trailer for Jurassic World: Dominion!

Wow, Peter Pan has really let himself go!
This screeenshot above is from the trailer for Chip n’ Dale: Rescue Rangers, which finds Chip and Dale estranged but forced to once again work together. It also features Peter Pan looking like he just spent a night drinking at Bada Bing.
This movie will be be streaming on Disney+, starting on May 20th!
Christina Ricci, whose performance was one of the highlights of the first season of Yellowjackets, plays a menaced mother in the upcoming supernatural thriller, Monstrous. The trailer below features Ricci’s character, her son, a rather ugly monster, and a really big car. Apparently, this film was produced by the Chicken Soup for the Soul people, which somehow just makes it all the more creepy.
(Seriously, whenever I see that anyone owns one of those “Chicken Soup” books …. well, I wouldn’t say that I silently judge them but the temptation is always there. Of course, you have to understand that I don’t really like soup to begin with. Someone once told me to have some chicken soup because I had a cold and I was like, “Yeah, I don’t have anything to do with soup so you’re advice is worthless and I’m still sick!”)
Anyway, the Chicken Soup brand is all about inspiring true stories so I guess maybe the monster is going to have a good life lesson to impart. We’ll find out on May 1st!
Here’s the trailer:
This is an intriguing trailer and really, how can you resist a film starring Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons? Night Sky will be available on Prime in May.
Obviously, making an origin story about a character who isn’t supposed to actually exist raises all sorts of existential issues but …. well, look. It’s PIXAR. And The LEGO Movie worked, didn’t it? And yes, I realize that the LEGO Movie was not a PIXAR film but I’m just saying that there’s all sorts of things that work in animation that wouldn’t necessarily work in live action.
Anyway, here’s the second trailer for Lightyear!
If Liam Neeson ever retires, Gerard Butler will be there to take his place as the best actor to regularly appear in violent and somewhat formulaic thrillers about men doing what they have to do to save the members of their family from being abducted and sold to the highest bidder.
Here’s the trailer for Last Seen Alive, which is due to be released next month. In this one, Butler plays a man whose wife vanishes at a gas station. It was originally titled Chase, which was a bit of a generic title. I prefer Last Seen Alive. Butler not only stars but he also produced.
