Uh, one-eyed Mads Mikkelsen playing a former assassin named “The Black Kaiser,” doing his best over-the-top John Wick impersonation in a snow-covered wilderness? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. This trailer for Netflix’s upcoming Polar is extremely my speed. Check it out below and mark January 25 on your calendars.
What are you doing? Why are you reading this? Odds are, you
already know whether or not you’re going to see Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Hell, most of you probably have tickets (or you’re not seeing
it until 2017). You don’t need me to tell you whether it’s good or not. Go see
Rogue One. Come back afterwards and we can discuss it then.
It’s been a rough week for a lot of folks. People are
looking for hope, and maybe, just maybe, two new international trailers for
Rogue One: A Star Wars Story can help with that a bit. Hope and resistance are what we've got to lean on right now, and like what we’ve seen thus far, they hammer that home hard once again.
Marvel movies take a great deal of (often very warranted)
heat for being overly similar. It’s one thing to create an overarching
aesthetic in a shared cinematic universe and lay out markers that identify a film
as a piece of a larger work. It’s another when every film cranked out starts to
feel like the same damn thing. The comic book giant’s latest endeavor, the
mystical adventure Doctor Strange, is unique in that it both
manages to buck this trend while falling face-first into most of the pitfalls.
It’s safe to say, most of us are excited for a Star
Wars movie, any Star Wars movie. But we have a lot
to look forward to with Rogue One: A Star Wars Story later
this year—it’s the first of the “standalone” films, it explores different
corners of that far, far away galaxy we all adore, it’s supposedly a gritty war
film, it has little to do with the Force, and much more. And it looks
incredible, including the latest, purportedly final trailer. Check it out
below.
Everyone is all pumped for Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, especially in the wake of the trailer that dropped last week.
It looks like an awesome war movie that, while bearing obvious hallmarks of a
Star Wars movie, promises to bring something new to that
far, far away galaxy. And what would a Star Wars movie be without
some daddy issues? Which is what we get a glimpse of in this new Japanese
trailer.
Marvel takes a lot of flack for their movies being a bit
same-y, which isn’t an entirely unfounded complaint. They’ve taken steps to mix
things up lately, most notably with Guardians of the Galaxy,
but later this year they’re going to take things in an entirely different
direction with Doctor Strange. And if you need proof that
this is like nothing we’ve witnessed thus far in the MCU, check out the new
trailer that just hit the airwaves.
If you’re anything like me, you spent most of today checking
to see if your boss was around so you could watch this new Rogue One: A Star Wars Story teaser trailer. Totally worth the risk, right? If
you haven’t checked it out yet for some reason, you should take the opportunity
to do so below. Again, totally worth it.
