May 2025 update: Film festival season

If you're seeing more posts here than usual, it's film festival season in the northern hemisphere. We're getting exposure to lots of new movies from small studios from around the world seeking distribution deals. I'm working my way through some long lists of films in alphabetical order with a limit of 10-20 per day as to not spam the community. Subscribers can expect regular posting cadences to resume in a few weeks.


This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.

Rules

  1. All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
  2. No fan-made trailers or remixes.
  3. Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
  4. Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
  5. Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.
  6. Don't be a jerk.

ah yes foundation.

the show that was built on a solid foundation special effects wise but ultimately so very very disappointing with their grade A shit tier spin on one of my favorite stories

disregard the story and add another endless boring melee fighting scene with unloveable botched characters pls

asimov wrote so many good and popular books with well crafted stories but nobody dares to just follow that story or even the bare minimum of its vibe/theme

they should add the most obnoxious product placement to send it home just like in iRobot

Haven't read the books, but my understanding was that the whole "the emperor is three clones of the first emperor at three different stages of life" thing was one of the additions that weren't in the books... And that was my favorite part. The rest was meh.

Which is too bad because they could have used that concept in a new IP and done some really cool shit.

TBH Asimovs books are just men in rooms smoking cigars and talking how their plans went perfectly.

Not exactly riveting television.

nah. there is much they could show. but building many different sets is costly. there is plenty of films that are narrative heavy and still good. but the showrunners seem to think the viewer gets bored if they dont have a bunch of idiots beat each other on the floor for 5 minutes straight every second scene. thats probably cheap to make too
