Trailer Talk: The Matrix Resurrections, Don’t Look Up, and more!

The Matrix Resurrections

Yep, I’m all in, give this to me now, I can’t wait. Like many folks, I love The Matrix, but unlike a lot of folks, I do admire, appreciate, and even enjoy a lot of what the sequels did. I think there’s some really fascinating ideas that the Wachowskis were exploring there, and I would imagine Lana Wachowski wouldn’t be doing this if she didn’t have an idea that she wanted to explore. I have no idea what to expect, and that’s exciting.

The Matrix Resurrections hits theaters and HBO Max for 31 days starting December 22nd.

Don’t Look Up

I mean, yeah, with a cast like this, how can one not be at least somewhat interested in seeing how this pans out. I know some people are a bit mixed on Adam McKay’s work, especially his recent “important” movies, which is understandable, even if I’m less harsh on them than others. This looks like it’s going to mix things up a bit, combining his recent political stuff with his earlier comedies, and I think it could potentially become something really cool. At least, I sure hope it does.

Don’t Look Up hits select theaters early in December before being available on Netflix on December 24th.

Belfast

Filmmakers making vaguely semi-autobiographical projects in black-and-white is a weirdly specific subgenre I won’t get tired of. And to get one from the Kenneth Branagh, hell yeah I’m interested. And honestly, between this and Barb And Star Go To Vista Del Mar, I’m digging this newfound appreciation for Jamie Dornan that seems to be happening. The rest of the cast is no joke either, and I’m very excited to see how this turns out.

Belfast will be released in theaters on November 12th.

C’mon C’mon

Another black-and-white movie, and this one looks pretty good to. Granted, this is from Mike Mills, a really great filmmaker who I think has actively gotten better and better with each project that he’s been on. This definitely looks like it’s going to be an emotional ride, and I’m very pumped to experience it. Not much else to say here really, it looks fantastic, and if the film is as good as this trailer, we might be in for a treat.

C’mon C’mon will open in theaters on a currently unspecified date in November.

The Guilty

I remember seeing Gustav Möller’s 2018 film, and was absolutely riveted by it. It was easily among the best films that year, and was hesitant about a remake, despite the folks involved. But man, Netflix got some good people to cut this trailer. That said, this does look like it’s going a bit “bigger” than the original, which feels like a very Hollywood thing to do. Not mad at it, but it is pretty much what I would have expected. Antoine Fuqua can be a bit hit-and-miss for me, but I’ll always check out what he has coming, so I’ll definitely be checking this one out.

The Guilty opens in select theaters in September before hitting Netflix on October 1st.

Luzzu

Can’t say I’ve seen many films out of the country of Malta, but this trailer really had my attention. What starts off like a Ken Loach-esque social drama turns into a low-key thriller, and a really interesting one at that. I read that Ramin Bahrani is a producer on the project, which is not very surprising since this style is pretty much in his wheel house. When I saw this, I wanted to make sure I put it on this week’s Trailer Talk, it looks really interesting, and something I hope people put on their radar.

Luzzu hits theaters on October 15th.
