I Am Fully on Board With An Insane Street Fighter Movie
Late last week were The Game Awards, which I don’t watch, but they had a lot of trailers for upcoming video games and video game-related things. I should probably share some of those trailers, and I might, because I like video games. But more importantly, we got a solid teaser trailer for the upcoming Street Fighter movie…and it’s a hoot!
I am fully in favor of going full cartoon with a new Street Fighter movie. I’m very eager to see what they do with it. A cheesy Street Fighter was a flop in the 90s. A more serious attempt was a flop, when they focused on Chun-Li that one time. Why not have some fun with it? Why not go with totally accurate costumes and powers and smashing cars and fighting? Mortal Kombat tried to be serious and make stuff up and not even get to the tournament. The Twisted Metal TV show is going all-in on the zaniness and it was one of the best shows of the year!
The Street Fighter movie comes to theaters on…oh wow, Oct. 16. That’s a long ways away. And yet still before Grand Theft Auto VI…alas.

Various Trailer Friday!
Due to sheer laziness, I haven’t been posting as much as I probably should be these past few weeks. Just how I’m rolling these days, I guess. But I have been holding onto movie and TV trailers in case I ever do post more. And now I’m just gonna share a bunch, in case you haven’t seen them yet.
First up, this just came out yesterday, is a final trailer for A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, the next Game of Thrones spin-off. This one looks good, I think.
I haven’t watched any of House of the Dragon. I’m not sure why. It’s supposed to be good. I just don’t have any interest in that corner of Westeros. But this one looks fun, following hedge knight Ser Duncan the Tall as he fumbles his way through being a knight, alongside his street urchin squire, Egg. Looks like a fun blend of comedy and heroic action.
A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms comes to HBO Max on Jan. 18.
Next up is a movie trailer for Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. The first film was a great horror comedy, and I can only hope the sequel is just as much fun.
Looks fun already! Kinda crappy that the main character gets immediately thrown into another death game. And I don’t quite think the escalation works as well as it could, given the story of the original, but I guess we’ll see. Let us hope for the best!
Ready or Not: Here I Come comes to theaters on April 10.
Another movie coming out next year is Project Hail Mary, from the same author who wrote The Martian. That’s a good sign. Be careful, there’s apparently a very big spoiler in the trailer that the studio has decided to just give away because it’s a major part of the movie anyway. I don’t mind being spoiled about this.
Yeah, this looks fun. It’s got the same love for science as The Martian, and seemingly the same sense of humor. Ryan Gosling is always fun. And it’s directed by Phil Lord and Christopher Miller, who have made some incredible films and probably can do no wrong.
Project: Hail Mary comes to theaters on March 20.
Lastly, it’s the next Pixar film, Hoppers, which looks about the same as any other recent Pixar film. They have really fallen from grace.
I haven’t even seen Elio, and I’m pretty sure it’s free for me to watch on Disney+. I just can’t be bothered. And I probably won’t be bothered with Hoppers. It’s no Mitchells vs the Machines! But it is coming out, and maybe some of you are into that sort of thing.
Hoppers comes to theaters on March 6.

Check Your Theaters for Wake Up Dead Man!
The next mystery film in the Knives Out series will come to select theaters next week, so check your selection theaters to see if you’re one of them! I was able to see Glass Onion in the theater and that was a hoot, so I’m going to keep my eyes very peeled and my fingers crossed for Wake Up Dead Man.
Until then, here’s a new trailer.
Looks good to me! Rian Johnson and Daniel Craig have made an excellent series of mystery movies, and I can’t wait to see the newest one! So here’s hoping at least one of my local theaters has the film. Otherwise, I’ll have to wait for the Netflix release, which won’t be terrible, but won’t be nearly as much fun.
Wake Up Dead Man comes to select theaters on Wednesday, Nov. 26, and then will be on Netflix on Dec. 12.

Ninja Turtles Mini Sequel Coming in December!
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem was phenomenal! And the follow up cartoon was also super fun. So as a lifelong Ninja Turtles fan, I am fully on board with the current media status quo. And we’re next going to see these turtle teens in a new short cartoon premiering ahead of an upcoming Spongebob movie on Dec. 19.
Looks good to me! The animation is still awesome. The jokes are cool. The turtles are pretty awesome. I’m glad to see new material since we don’t know when the movie sequel will come out.
Will I go see this Spongebob movie just to see this short? No. I’ll have to figure out some other way to watch. I’m sure it will be fun!

The Wicked Sequel is On Its Way!
I really enjoyed the Wicked movie. I’ve always heard how great the play is but never saw it, so I was very much looking forward to a cinema adaptation. Movies are my jam, after all. And the first one was good. And now we’re going to get Wicked: For Good in a couple of months. Sounds good to me!
Looks pretty epic and full of life and character and Wizard of Oz stuff and all that goodness. Is it just a retelling of the Wizard of Oz, but from the Wicked Witch’s secret perspective? I don’t remember and I don’t know for sure. Suffice to say, this is a big trailer and this will be a big movie.
Wicked: For Good comes to theaters on Nov. 21.
