I’m making this to be a catch-all thread to discuss unreleased or new movies that are not deserving of their own threads, so that they do not get swallowed in the Mini Movie Review thread, which is mostly about older movies. This would also be a place to talk about trailers and upcoming films we are excited about or dreading that are not part of a big franchise.
I’m not posting trailers directly in the thread because too many YouTube videos make threads glitchy and crashy.
Anyway,
Sting
There’s a trailer for this new horror movie about a giant, man-eating spider. It looks a bit predictable, but maybe effective for arachnophobes.
Fly Me To The Moon
Scarlet Johansson stars in another ill-conceived movie, this time a wacky comedy about how NASA faked the moon landing.
Challengers
Zendaya teaches two boys about tennis, love. This looks really painful.
Maxxxine
The sequel to X and Pearl. It’s going for an 80’s crime/noir neon horror vibe, and I think it nails it. Looking forward to this one.
Speak No Evil
A horror remake starring James McAvoy as a creepy guy, this time with a gross serial killer beard. Might be a solid film?
Don’t Tell Mom the Babysitter’s Dead
Apparently an almost scene-for-scene remake of the original, but starring black actors instead of white. The YouTube comments section for this one is more disturbing than James McAvoy with a beard.
The Teeth of the Hydra Are Upon You
The trailer is just an attempt at viral marketing. Looks like it’s working.
Cuckoo
An artsy jump-scare horror movie? Maybe it will have an Identity-level twist.
Bad Boys 4
Martin Lawrence looks to be carrying Will Smith for a change. Looks like they’re making a move to be the new Fast franchise.

The trailer for Fly Me To The Moon looked pretty good, not my cup of tea from the looks of it, but looked like a decent flick.
Abigail - April 19 release date
The horror film focuses on a group of kidnappers who capture and must watch over Abigail, the daughter of a powerful underworld figure from whom they demand a $50 million ransom. However, they soon get more than what they bargain for when they realize that they are trapped inside with no ordinary little girl.

This might work if it was directed by the Cohen Brothers, but I don't think it is. Anyone else? It is a big lift to pull off.
Edit: Great idea for a thread.
Thanks.
And yeah, if you told me a month ago that a Scarlet Johansson Channing Tatum rom com would be more politically worrying than the movie about a 2nd American Civil War in an election year, I would not have believed.

Abigail looks pretty cool. Feels like they took Popsy and unlocked its full potential.

Saw the trailer at Dune 2 and swear I could hear my wife's eyes rolling into the back of her head as well as a couple groans from the audience. To make matters worse the theater nearby is putting it into multiple screens including the big boys as if it were a big budget popcorn film that is gonna draw in the bigliest crowds.
Upcoming limited release will have Alien(1979) showing in theaters April 26th, one night only I believe.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.
Another biopic of a famous, dead musician. The actress looks and sounds a lot like Winehouse from what I recall. Still, the trailer looks completely formulaic.
Amy Winehouse needs to think about her whole life before she *chugga-chugga-snoooorrrt*!
Looks like a tearjerker coming of age movie from A24. The trailer is (accidentally) a perfect parody of a snooty, up-its-own-butt Oscar-bait art flick. I could not stop laughing:
Currently slated for 16th August. Set between Alien and Aliens.
Teaser trailer shows some promise, and I’m optimistic. Whilst of course just a trailer, they seem to have the aesthetic spot on. Dingey, not dark (AvP Requiem got that completely wrong), utilitarian and lived in. Plus there’s what I presume to be an earlier model of Pulse Rifle, perhaps a Civilian Issue one.

I’m not as enthusiastic about the film, but I agree they’ve captured the look and the design language. It shows the people making it care.
Sasquatch Sunset
This trailer shows a bunch of Sasquatch doing everyday Sasquatch things. According to the comments, a bunch of people walked disgusted out of a showing at some film festival when the Sasquatches performed all their bodily functions on the big screen.
This looks like a live action Looney Tunes cartoon, if it were made in the 30’s. I’ve never seen so many nut-shots in a trailer with so many art house seals of approval.
Check out the trailer. It’s wacky and bizarre.

Looks really fun and more in keeping with the original cartoon's target demographic.
Too many old men who stayed attached to their childhoods a little too hard are complaining that it doesn't follow the thing they liked exactly, but that seems to be the norm these days. people unable to let go of something getting angry at others for daring liking it in a different way.
Transformers always strikes me as a franchise that was made for younger kids but which got adopted by a lot of teens to young adults (now old adults).
I don't think it helps that you've things like the original film which is clearly more teenage targeted but the actual G1 animated series are clearly aimed at a much younger audience.

I grew up on it, but have never clung to it has hard as some of these people. I mean, it started with two different continuities anyway - the g1 comic storyline and the g1 cartoon storyline. So right off the bat there is no 'one true lore'. And the gloriousness of that original film's cynical darkness has kept me entertained for years. In keeping with that corporate cynicism, the film was pushed to a PG rating in order to get it shown more (g movies apparently got less screenings back then), so the psychedelic happy accident of a film ended up with things that hit harder for the wrong reasons and it's why I think it kept TFs in the zeitgeist longer than other 80s toy properties.
I am actually looking forward to this film more than any of the others except Bumblebee. Michael Bay's lens did disagreeable things to these inherently crazy characters that just turned me off.
Trap A new film from M. Night Shyamalan. Trailer says "In the world of M. Night Shyamalan" which I'm not sure if means it has some connection to another film, like the Unbreakable films, or is just trying to make it sound like it might be, but totally isn't.
Josh Hartnet is playing a dad who takes his daughter to a big pop star's concert (Lady Raven, played by Shymalan's daughter) and while there discovers the concert has been closed off and encircled by the police keeping anyone from leaving. It turns out a serial killer is hiding at the concert and the police are there to find him, and of course our main character is the serial killer. That isn't a spoiler, btw, it is shown in the trailer and is just the set up for the rest of the film. Considering the director I'm sure there will be some sort of unexpected turn in the narrative.
Between getting one daughter a bump in this film and the other (Ishana) getting a major studio release as a directorial debut this year for The Watchers it is looking like a good year to be a Shyamalan daughter.

Did they ever do a version where the apes progress to space travel and they go to a future world dominated by humans? Just wondering what kind of gloriously convoluted title they could use for that
Edit - I see the original series kind of did that, with more mundane titles. Oh well
