I don’t think we have anything like a thread for posting new trailers for upcoming movies, and it seems like a good thing to have.
I’ll kick it off with this one I saw today, which seems to be roughly the answer to the question “What if ET had been found by Rainman?”
(If you watch the trailer, I think you have pretty much seen the whole movie.)
I’m going to stick to trailers for films I hadn’t heard of until I saw them in the theater:
Opening next week
Could be a SciFi sleeper
If you liked The Lobster
Looking forward to Oppenheimer, which opens in a couple days. Apparently it’s a pretty accurate account of the subject matter for a Hollywood movie (unlike another WWII-related big blockbuster in the fairly recent past that really pissed me off with its gratuitously ridiculous innacuracies, ‘The Imitation Game’).
DO NOT plan on doing a ‘Barbenheimer’ double feature.
I tried to post the Oppenheimer trailer using the YT video link and a slash at the end, but it’s still not working for me, so here’s a link to it.
OK- for the nth time, here is a link to @Dr.Strangelove’s post in Site Feedback about this problem. Read it. Read the thread from there on for a few examples. Follow the instructions.
Yes, thank you very much, I have read that post, and I thought I did everything that it recommends, and it still didn’t work. Maybe it’s a timing thing, as Dr. S mentioned. Here’s another try…
Yep, I appended the date (&71923), just in case it had been posted somewhere else on the board, and quickly hit ‘reply’ before the trailer image showed up in the preview pane.
I think appending the slash will only work once. If someone has already posted the link with a slash, then Discourse will see the preview already exists and object. Thats why using &[number] is a safer bet. I tend to use a 3 or 4 digit number as well, just for extra insurance
ETA: Yes, using the numerical date is probably even better, because it’s unlikely people will post the same YT link on the same day.
Back to trailers. This one looks like it is either going to be a monumental film or a monumental bust (many have tried to capture this subject).
This looks really, really awful.
Can’t find a review of this one yet but holy moly does it look bad.
I’ve been waiting for this one for over forty years. It got a cover story in Cinefantastique back in the early 1980s, but the project was delayed numerous times, and then by David Allen’s death. It looked as if it would never get made. But they crowdfunded it and finally got it finished up, apparently using genuine stop-motion animation rather than CGI. And it looks like good Harryhausen-esque work. It was released at a convention earlier this year, and I’d love to see it on DVD or some streaming platform.

The thumbnail image for this movie reminded me of the fake movie billboard in GET SHORTY.
