“As a collection of history's worst tyrants and criminal masterminds gather to plot a war to wipe out millions, one man must race against time to stop them. Discover the origins of the very first independent intelligence agency in The King's Man.” That's the synopsis that came along with the first teaser for The King's Man. 20th Century Fox's prequel to The Kingsmen series set for February 14th 2020. Great teaser though. I can’t wait to see this. The first film totally blindsided me when it was released, & I loved it. I also liked the second one, but the original blew me away. This teaser looked very interesting. I'm a big fan of origin stories. Especially organization origin stories. Pair that with how big a fan I am of Ralph Fiennes, & this is an automatic must see. Even if I can’t stop thinking of Voldemort every time I see him. Anyway, this looked awesome to me. Gonna have to plan a refresh on the previous films. What did y'all think? In fact where are y’all on these as a whole? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Definitely Wasn't Expecting “Spies In Disguise” Trailer
I’ve been saying that FOX is new on my radar, so a lot of this stuff I haven't even heard of. I don’t know what I was expecting out of this trailer for Spies in Disguise, but it wasn’t this. When it started, I didn’t know what to expect. At one point I started wondering what audience this was going for? Then, it took this crazy turn. This might be a really funny, family fun for everyone type flick. The pair up of Will Smith & Tom Holland seems it could be classic. All in all I was pleasantly surprised by this trailer. To the point of even wondering if this could be a reemergence of Will Smith? He's popping up a lot again all the sudden. Can’t wait to see more of this though, it looks hilarious.

Red Band Trailer For Fox Searchlight's "Ready Or Not"
Warning, this is definitely a Red Band trailer, & it lives up to it. That said, Ready or Not seems like it's going to be a pull no punches, thriller that has me pretty intrigued. The synopsis itself is pretty straightforward considering how crazy it really is, "Ready or Not follows a young bride (Samara Weaving) as she joins her new husband’s (Mark O’Brien) rich, eccentric family (Adam Brody, Henry Czerny, Andie MacDowell) in a time-honored tradition that turns into a lethal game with everyone fighting for their survival." It gets crazier in the more fleshed out unfolding in the trailer. The family made its fortune in board games. Leading to the brides tradition of picking a game to play with the family after the wedding. She uses a box that pops up Hide 'n Seek as the game. Then proceeds to hide not knowing the seekers will be heavily armed with intent to kill. The object of the game being survive 'til dawn. With the family believing something bad will happen if the bride manages to do so. I don't know why, but these are some of my favorite horror/thriller type films. Escape Room & even the SAW franchises come to mind. Something about people getting put in these strange situations & fighting their way out with just wit. This looks like it's really gonna have people on edge. What do y'all think though? I'm in just on this. How about y'all? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Official Trailer For "Ad Astra"
Didn't take too much out of this trailer except a strong sense of intrigue. Considering everything they talked about in this, including the search for extraterrestrial life the synopsis seems pretty vague as well: "Astronaut Roy McBride (Brad Pitt) travels to the outer edges of the solar system to find his missing father and unravel a mystery that threatens the survival of our planet. His journey will uncover secrets that challenge the nature of human existence and our place in the cosmos." I've been a huge Brad Pitt fan for what feels like ever. That alone would have me on board. Throw in space & you've totally piqued my interest. I actually liked the fact this trailer stayed bare-bones. In fact, I'm not sure if I want to see or know any more than the little we've got here. I love the mystery when it comes to "realistic" sci-fi. In fact, I stayed away from trailers for Interstellar when it released for just that reason. I'd be happy if we only got a few remixes of this trailer until its September 20th release. Especially if they keep it as wide open as this look was. I would love to go into this expecting a little of anything. What did y'all think though? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Official Trailer For "FORD v FERRARI"!
Matt Damon, Christian Bale, Jon Bernthal. This thing is must-see on star power alone. Them you throw in this synopsis, "based on the remarkable true story of the visionary American car designer Carroll Shelby (Damon) and the fearless British-born driver Ken Miles (Bale), who together battled corporate interference, the laws of physics, and their own personal demons to build a revolutionary race car for Ford Motor Company and take on the dominating race cars of Enzo Ferrari at the 24 Hours of Le Mans in France in 1966", & you've got a heckuva reason to look forward to November 15. I remember they were losing their minds over this one at CinemaCon. Now, after finally seeing the trailer, I know why. This trailer was absolutely fabulous, & even though I know that could mean nothing, I can't help but think this film looks special. Equal parts racing & display of advancements in engineering, with an emotional human element thrown in from many different angles. I think director James Mangold might've really pulled out a winner in this one. I'm now as excited as the folks at CinemaCon were. What about y'all though? Does this do it for you? Do you see the same "special" in this trailer? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
