Trailers

Blink Twice, director co-writer Zoë Kravitz’s new psychological thriller about two women (Naomi Ackie and Alia Shawkat) trapped on an eccentric billionaire’s (Channing Tatum) island, sounds like a cross between Glass Onion and The Menu.

And the movie’s first trailer makes it seem like those two flavors are going to go pretty well together Blink Twice hits theaters on August 23rd.

It’s never easy to tell whether M. Night Shyamalan’s about to whip out another banger like Split, or a dud like Old. And the trailer for Trap — Shyamalan’s new thriller about cops luring a killer into the open with a concert — makes it extremely hard to tell which camp it’s going to fall into.

Stitch is an embroidery game that challenges players to thread together all kinds of interesting embroidery puzzles. It’s like paint-by-numbers with thread, with increasing levels of difficulty and complexity. It’s a neat concept that reminds me a bit of the comfort of playing A Little To The Left.

Though Stitch is already out on Apple Arcade, it will make its Switch debut sometime today.

Akira Toriyama’s Sand Land manga, published in 2000, is getting both an anime and video game adaptation. The anime is out now on Hulu and Disney Plus while the video game launches on April 26th. Bandai Namco just released a new trailer for the game making use of another popular piece of sand related media and it is exactly what you think it is. They saw the opportunity and went for it.

Today Netflix dropped the latest (and first full-length official) trailer for the third season of Bridgerton. It is equal parts ridiculous and delightful and seemingly packed with way more intense stares-into-eyes than previous seasons. The first batch of episodes drop in a little over a month and I for one can’t wait to see what the members of the Ton are up to.

Nintendo revealed that a new Endless Ocean was in development earlier this year, and the latest trailer is the chillest thing I’ve seen in a long time. Just three minutes of soothing ocean views and soundscapes. The game itself is launching on the Switch on May 2nd.

Abigail, Universal’s new horror about a vampire posing as a young girl, seems to have all the makings of a classic killer child movie. But watching the film’s new trailer, you can absolutely see Megan’s influence as Abigail prances around while murdering folks she just wants to have fun with.

Abigail hits theaters on April 19th.

In The Crush House, launching sometime this year, you’re tasked with running a reality TV show. You’re encouraged to capture all the salacious moments between cast mates, like fighting and flirting, in order to keep those ratings high.

That’s an intriguing enough premise on its own, but it gets even more interesting as the trailer hints that things in The Crush House may not be what they seem.

The new trailer for Tilman Singer’s horror film — which stars Hunter Schafer and Dan Stevens — doesn’t give a lot away, but it sure does look scary. You can find out for yourself when it hits theaters on August 9th.

After teasing it at the Game Awards last year, Dead Cells studio Motion Twin is showing off more of its next release — the speedy action game Windblown — with a gameplay trailer that looks very intense. It’s due to hit early access on Steam later this year.

The first season of Apple TV Plus’ The Big Door Prize series from David West Read asked its characters to imagine what more their lives could be if they really tapped into their full potential. And the show’s new season season 2 trailer makes it feel like the titular prize machine is going to change the game with “a new stage.”

The Big Door Prize back on April 24.

Netflix is next up in making a fictional series about true crime podcasters. Bodkin is described as a “darkly comedic thriller” set in the titular “idyllic, coastal Irish town,” and it stars Will Forte, Siobhán Cullen, Robyn Cara, David Wilmot, and Chris Walley. It starts streaming on May 9th.

The developers at Pocketpair are doing that annoying game developer thing where on April Fools Day they announce a legitimately cool new game idea only for it to be a joke. And for some reason, it’s always a dating simulator.

In Palworld: ~More Than Just Pals~ choose from a roster of dateable Pals and trainers including the busty Lovander with a student ID number... errr... 69. It’s a shame this is fake; weird dating sims are always fun.

Landfall Games, developer of TABS and Stick Fight: The Game, continues its tradition of launching pretty neat games on April Fools Day.

In Content Warning, you and up to three of your friends journey to the underwater Old World to film all kinds of spooky shit. Survive the night, upload your video, ???, profit! Best part is, for the next 24 hours the game is free on Steam. After that you’ll have to pay a whopping $7.99, which seems like the best part of the joke.

The new trailer for Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes has what all good action movies need: an overhead shot of people being hunted in tall grass. (See Prey, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, and X-Files: Fight the Future for more on this subject.) The latest Apes hits theaters on May 10th.

The second season of AMC’s Interview with the Vampire is just a few weeks away, and when it gets here, it looks like we’ll be following Louis, Lestat, and Claudia (newcomer Dalaney Hayles) to the Théâtre des Vampires to take in a show or two.

Poor Things director Yorgos Lanthimos is already back with his next film, Kinds of Kindness. The first teaser trailer doesn’t reveal much — aside from a stacked cast — but the movie is described as a “triptych fable” that hits theaters on June 21st.

After Alien: Covenant, it felt like 20th Century Studios might not have been sure where it wanted to take the franchise. But the nightmarish first teaser trailer for director Fede Álvarez’s upcoming Alien: Romulus standalone film — out August 16th — makes it seem like the studio has a solid plan to get things back on track.
