Okay, I'll be frank here: I have no familiarity with the book this film is based on. With that said, its a name I've heard thrown around in various conversations over the years and, from what I've gathered, it has a special place in the hearts of many people. Not much else to say except that I'm digging the trippy visuals promised by this teaser.
THE DISASTER ARTIST
Honestly, I'm shocked this movie is only coming out now instead of coming out a few years ago. Whatever, we've finally got a movie based around the comprehension-defying so-bad-its-good cult classic The Room. This teaser doesn't give away much plotwise; but, it looks like James Franco and his cronies are delivering a film that's both hilarious and sincere. Plus, the buzz for this coming out SXSW back in March is killer.
BLADE RUNNER 2049
I, like most cinephiles, was very skeptical when they announced production of a sequel to the ethereal sci-fi classic Blade Runner (seriously, if you've never seen it, go track down the Final Cut and watch it on the biggest screen in your possession); however, considering the talent involved and how stunning the last trailer was, I'd say there's a good chance of this being a pretty stellar film in its own right. Plus, this trailer is also gang-busters. There's certainly interesting things in this trailer that have A) been covered extensively elsewhere and B) constitute for spoilers for both films. Will it better than the original? Of course not; yet, I'm relatively confident that should be a treat once October rolls around.
THE SHAPE OF WATER
There are many filmmakers working today for which I can say each new work from them is a cause for celebration. Without a shadow of a doubt, Guillermo del Toro is one of those directors and it looks like he has another winner on his hands. The Cold War setting looks like its lended to some exquisite production design and the cast is pretty solid. Also, it's got Doug Jones treading familiar waters* playing a fish man. I'm all for it!
*pun intended.
Stay tuned for a couple more trailer reviews coming in the very near future.
