Just a Metric Ton of Rando Movie Trailers
I’m tired, boss. It’s been a week, let me tell you, and it’s only going to get worse over the next few days. So no List of Six this week. Maybe comic reviews. We’ll see. And for this middle of the week, I’m just gonna drop a bunch of random movie trailers that came out in the past few days. I don’t know what’s happening, but these are really, really random movies.
Let’s start with the most random (and that’s saying something!) Bando Stone and The New World with Donald Glover! This one is pretty wild and awesome.
It’s so nifty looking! Donald Glover at his weird and wild best, in a truly interesting premise. The effects also look pretty damn insane. Very creative, very inventive, and that could really make the movie.
Bando Stone and The New World…apparently currently has no release date. Huh. Oh well.
Next up is Red One, wherein the Rock and Chris Evans do a Taken with Santa Claus.
Honestly, this one looks fun. It’s probably gonna be ridiculous, but the same could have been said about Violent Night, and I loved that movie! That was Die Hard and Santa Claus. So I’m definitely willing to give this one a chance.
Red One comes to theaters on November 15! Theatres? Not Netflix? Interesting.
Third up is the trailer for Jackpot, in which John Cena and Awkwafina (that rhymed!) do a silly, R-rated action comedy. I love both of them, so I’m down!
And Simu Liu! Wonderful! I’m so glad to see him still getting work. I want that dude’s career to explode! And I want to see Shang Chi 2 sooner rather than later. But for now, I’ll settle for Jackpot, which comes to Amazon Prime Aug. 15.
Next is another trailer for the movie Trap, which is an M. Night Shyamalan movie.
And starring everybody’s forgotten Hollywood dreamboat, Josh Hartnett. Guess he’s back for good. Looks spooky. And the trailer doesn’t give the twist away, if you’re worried about that. Just looks like a solidly spooky horror film. Good times.
Trap comes to theaters on Aug. 2.
Lastly, we have Hellboy: The Crooked Man, what appears to be a fanmade Hellboy movie given realish studio power. If you can call Ketchup Entertainment a real studio.
I don’t even know about this. I guess Mike Mignola himself, along with author Christopher Golden, wrote this movie, so that’s something. But otherwise, this looks almost pathetic. But it also looks…maybe interesting? Seems to be a really spooky movie that just happens to throw Hellboy in as our protagonist. That could be fun! And if made cheaply, maybe we get a bunch of low key Hellboy movies?
I guess we’ll see when Hellboy: The Crooked man comes to theaters(?) sometime this year.
And that’s it! Those are all the movies! Or at least all of the trailers I saved and wanted to share. Probably a bunch more rando movie trailers in the world at the moment. But these will have to do for now!

Get Ready For Another Spooky Vampire Movie!
Vampires are eternal. Especially in movies. So there’s going to be another spooky vampire moving coming out this year: Nosferatu! Made by Robert Eggers, who made The Witch, The Lighthouse and the Northman. Sadly, this movie is not called The Vampire or The Nosferatu. It’s a remake of a 1922 film, which was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
This could be fun. Weird and fun. I’ve only ever seen The Northman by Eggers, and was not all that impressed. He’s the guy who makes really weird, artsy movies. I want to like those, but I rarely do. So we’ll see. This is definitely spooky enough to be a spooky vampire movie.
Nosferatu comes out Christmas Day, because of course it does. Now that’s some synergy I can get behind!

They’re Making An Animated Watchmen
Man, nothing is going on this week other than the heat. I’ve had a lot of success either staying in my air conditioned office or my air conditioned home (my car’s AC is broken). So I haven’t really worried about the heat. But in order to fulfill my oath of posting something online every once and a while, here’s the trailer for the first parts of an animated Watchmen adaptation.
We’ve had a number of Watchmen adaptations over the years. There was a motion comic once that I watched, and it had one, male voice actor doing the voices for everybody. Will this one be any different? I don’t know! But it promises to be very faithful to the comic. I think they’re just going to animate the comic right off that page. That might be neat!
Watchmen Parts 1 & 2 come out in August! And…uh…I don’t know in what format. On Max? In theaters? Surely not on DVD…

Paddington in Peru to Complete Epic Trilogy
The Paddington movies are a delight…though I haven’t seen the first one. That’s on me. Paddington 2 is as good as everybody says, so I’m excited for Paddington 3! It’s Paddington in Peru!
Looks delightful! I don’t know if the same people who made the previous films are back, but let’s hope so. We need more movie goodness and goodiness in our lives. Especially on a Friday. Should be a fun weekend. I may go see Inside Out 2.
Paddington in Peru comes to theaters on Nov. 8.

There’s Gonna Be a New Alien Movie, Obviously
Like sands in an hourglass, so goes Hollywood. We’re gonna have another Alien movie, because obviously. That’s what happens. Will it be as new and unique as Prey was to the Predator franchise? Probably not. But it will be named Alien: Romulus for some reason.
I hope this means the sequel will be called Alien: Remus.
I’m not big fan of the Alien franchise. I’m just not a fan of horror films in general. But this seems to be a big deal, and maybe people haven’t seen this trailer yet, so I’m sharing. I like to share movie trailers. And later today, there’s gonna be the full trailer for the upcoming Ninja Turtles cartoon based on Mutant Mayhem. I’m rather excited about that trailer!
But for now, know that Alien: Romulus will come to theaters Aug. 16.
