Our Planet is a new Netflix series where Sir David Attenbourgh explores never-before-seen habitats. I always get a little bit worried about nature documentaries because they always seem to lead up to a bunch of tigers eating a gazelle but, judging from this Super Bowl spot, it looks like the show features some really impressive footage.
Plus, I can’t resist anything that feature animals looking quizzically at a camera.
Did you know there’s a new Twilight Zone coming out?
Yes, again.
There’s actually been quite a few Twilight Zone revivals but this latest one involves Jordan Peele, who is a certified superfan of the show. I mean, Get Out basically was a feature length Twilight Zone episode and Uswas apparently inspired by the show.
Plus, the new Twilight Zone is going to be online which, in theory, means a bit less censorship. That’s always a good thing.
Here’s the Super Bowl spot for Jordan Peele’s Twilight Zone!
Okay, I nearly missed this commercial because I don’t like beer. In fact, if Leonard hadn’t said something on twitter, I totally would have missed it. That would have been a shame because this might be the best commercial of this year’s Super Bowl.
Basically, it starts out like a Bud Light commercial. But then suddenly …. well, just watch it:
Game of Thrones will be returning to HBO soon. The Bud Knight, meanwhile, appears to be gone forever….
Marvel Studios is being a little bit mean this Super Bowl, offering us intriguing hints of what’s to come, as opposed to full scale trailers. Earlier, they gave us about 19 seconds of Avengers: Endgame. And now, here’s 30 seconds of Captain Marvel.
If you don’t have 30 seconds to spare, this teaser features Brie Larson being a badass and Samuel L. Jackson with hair and two eyes.
Wonder Park is this year’s first big animated film. It’s due to be released on March 15th. The trailer, which dropped today for the Super Bowl, looks cute enough. To be honest, I’d probably be a little bit more excited about it if it was a PIXAR film but, in general, I love animated films so I’ll be seeing this one.
It’s Super Bowl Sunday here in the States, which means that it’s time for me to watch the commercials while everyone else watches the game. Every year, all of the big upcoming movies drop new trailers during the Super Bowl. It’s kinda like the studios are saying, “Sorry for all the crap we dumped on you in January. Believe it or not, we’ve actually got some movies worth seeing coming out!”
So, let’s get things started tonight by sharing the Us Super Bowl commercial! Us is Jordan Peele’s follow-up to Get Out. Judging from this trailer, it would appear that Us is even more of a straight-up horror film than Get Out was.
Seriously, this trailer is hella creepy! Check it out:
It’s always a bit difficult to judge whether a film is going to be good based on its trailer. There have been great films that have had boring trailers. There’s been some really bad films that had great trailers. Just recently, I was way excited to see White Boy Rick, because the trailer was so good. And then I finally saw the movie and bleh. It was bland. It was boring. These things happen.
At the same time, I was also really excited to see American Hustle, again based on the trailer. And then I saw it and I loved the movie even more than the trailer! So, those things happen, too!
With that in mind, though, I do have to say that I really liked the trailer for The Isle. As you can see by watching it below, the trailer is full of atmosphere and hints that this could be a well-done, dreamlike horror film. The trailer itself tosses about comparisons to The Wicker Man and The Witch and, from what they included in the trailer, I can kind of see it. I can also see possible hints of A Field In England, which is also a good thing!
So, with that in mind, here’s the trailer for The Isle. I like it!
