While Wonder Woman (and, by association, the DCEU) is currently riding high, the MCU has several highly anticipated films coming out later this year and in 2018. One of the most anticipated in Ryan Coogler’s Black Panther. It stars Chadwick Boseman as the title character and it is scheduled to be released on February 16th, 2018.
The first trailer dropped today.
What do you think? Am I the only one who wants to visit Wakanda?
Only ten days to go before the big premiere!
This certainly does look ominous in the usual David Lynch style. I go a little emotional seeing Miguel Ferrer there.
Only ten more days until the wait is over…
Twins Peaks on TSL:
I’ve been hearing rumors that Kirsten Dunst might have an outside chance of getting an Oscar nomination for her performance as a recovering drug addict in the upcoming film, Woodshock.
Well, judging from the trailer below, it’s hard to say for sure. I love this trailer but it seems to indicate that Woodshock is either going to be brilliant or a mess. If nothing else, Kirsten Dunst appears to be playing a character similar to the one that she played in Melancholia. Dunst may have become a star playing a cheerleader in the first Bring It On but her best performances have always been the ones, like Crazy/Beautiful, Melancholia, and perhaps this one, where Dunst has played troubled characters who seem to be lost in the world.
Woodshock will be released on September 15th.
In June, a TV show based on Stephen King’s The Mist will air on Spike TV. I’m not particularly enthusiastic about it but I know some people are.
And, in all honestly, the latest teaser does look effective. I’ve read a few comments online that have described this teaser as being gory but, to be honest, it’s no more extreme than the typical episode of The Walking Dead. I mean, yeah, there’s some blood and there’s some dead people but … bleh. How is that shocking? That said, this teaser does create and maintain a properly ominous atmosphere. I’ll give the show a chance when it airs.
Here’s the teaser for Marvel’s latest network television show, The Inhumans.
There’s really not much to this teaser, just a lot disembodied voices and a title. It seems to be going for a Game of Thrones sort of feel but then again, just about everything is nowadays.
I’m still mad that they canceled Agent Carter.
Talk about perfect timing!
Here at the Shattered Lens, we just finished up our look back at the first two seasons (and the movie version) of Twin Peaks! One day later, Showtime releases this trailer for the upcoming revival!
This is called 25 years later and it features several rather ominous shots of some of our favorite citizens of Twin Peaks! There’s Big Ed (Everett McGill) sitting at a table and looking disturbed! There’s Sarah Palmer (Grace Zabriskie) in a grocery store! Oh look, it’s Harry Dean Stanton! What is Deputy Andy (Harry Goaz) looking at? Why is Deputy Hawk (Michael Horse) saying, “Really?”
And is that our Dale Cooper or is that the evil Doppelganger Cooper? Perhaps only Kyle MacLachlan knows for sure!
Watch the trailer below!
And then, get caught up on the story so far with the TSL’s look at Twin Peaks:
Hi, everyone!
Well, here’s the teaser for an obscure little art film called Star Wars: The Last Jedi. It’ll be interesting to see if anyone takes the time to discover this little film. Hopefully, it’ll make its way to Alamo Drafthouse at some point because the trailer is actually pretty intriguing. It looks like it might be kind of exciting and there’s a voice over that suggests that there’s actually more going on in this film than just pure spectacle for the sake of spectacle.
“I know only one truth. It’s time for the Jedi to end.”
That doesn’t sound good.
(By the way, Mark Hamill actually speaks in this trailer. So, all of you who thought the ending of Force Awakens indicated that Luke Skywalker had been rendered mute — well, you’re wrong! Or, actually, it might be more correct to see that I’m wrong since I think I was the only one who thought that.)
The Last Jedi comes out on December 15th. I get the feeling that Arleigh and most of the TSL staff have already bought their tickets.
Okay, so I’ll admit that I’m really excited about the trailer for Lady Bloodfight.
But, just from glancing at twitter, it appears that most of y’all are more excited about two other trailers that dropped today!
It’s kind of a tradition to complain that the Thor movies are the weakest part of the MCU. Of course, I would never say that because … well, you know. Chris Hemsworth and Tom Hiddleston. I mean, c’mon!
But anyway, there always has been kind of an inherent silliness to Thor and that silliness certainly seems to be present in the first trailer for Thor: Ragnarok.
Silliness, thy name is Jeff Goldblum.
Also, it appears that only Cate Blanchett can destroy Thor’s hammer. Well, that kinda makes sense. Cate Blanchett can do anything.
(I just like the music. Hey, Arleigh, is that Led Zeppelin?)
And then there’s this fun new teaser for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2! Have I mentioned how much I’m looking forward to this movie?
(Hmmm….Chris Evans, Chris Pratt, Chris Hemsworth, there’s a lot of Chris in the MCU. But where’s Christopher Walken?)
Hi everyone!
Excuse the brevity of this post. I’m currently running from one place to another, as I do every Monday. But there a few new trailers that I need to share with y’all!
For instance, here’s the new trailer for my upcoming biopic, Lady Bloodfight!
Speaking of biopics, here’s the latest trailer for the Tupac Shakur movie, All Eyez On Me! A lot of us thought this movie would be an Oscar contender. Then we watched this trailer.
(If All Eyez On Me is nominated for a bunch of Oscars, this post will, of course, be edited to remove all snark.)
It’s red band!
I’m actually looking forward to seeing Ingrid Goes West. Aubrey Plaza is always good, even when she’s stuck in something like Dirty Grandpa.
