THE KING https://youtu.be/yMJnsTx-TBg
Timothée Chalamet stars as Henry V in this adaptation of several of Shakespeare’s plays. I didn’t expect much, but this looks pretty cool. It comes to theaters October 11th and starts streaming November 1st.
LUCY IN THE SKY https://youtu.be/vQP-L2pJzmk
Natalie Portman plays an astronaut in this fictionalized take on the strange and dark events the followed real-life astronaut Lisa Nowak’s return to Earth. From the trailer, the film looks dreamy and tense and beautiful. I’m really interested in the ways it’s playing with aspect ratio. The movie comes out October 4th.
THE LAUNDROMAT https://youtu.be/wuBRcfe4bSo
Along the lines of how The Big Short took on the 2008 financial crisis, Netflix’s upcoming film The Laundromat takes a very eccentric and comedic look at the Panama Papers and the secrets they revealed about how the wealthy stay wealthy. It’s directed by Steven Soderbergh and comes to theaters September 27th before streaming on October 18th.

INSIDE BILL’S BRAIN: DECODING BILL GATES https://youtu.be/aCv29JKmHNY
Netflix has a three-part documentary coming up that chats with Bill Gates and looks into how he works. It seems like a fun and intimate peek into the tech icon and one of the world’s most prominent philanthropists. It comes out September 20th.
THE WORLD ACCORDING TO JEFF GOLDBLUM https://youtu.be/P7aN9OkNl7U
Just watching Jeff Goldblum doing stuff…
There are way too many trailers this week, but I couldn’t bring myself to cut this one. It’s just Jeff Goldblum... doing stuff. It’s great! What a good premise. Everyone’s going to subscribe to Disney+. What a winning proposition.
