If it happened during a take, there's definitely going to be raw footage around. Will be interesting to see what happens with the actual case.

True.

July 5th! 
 

Finally.

 

Time to move the thread.

One week after A Quiet Place: Day One? Interesting choice.

 

Not that I expect this to blow the gates wide open, mind you.

I hope this is less X slasher, and more Pearl-y

I love both, but I’m the opposite - I love X more. This could end up being a mix. 
 

Just hope they don’t make the UK wait 6 months later than the US for this like they did with Pearl.

I loved X and adored Pearl but this trailer....didn't really do it for me.

It seems a bit more conventional compared to X and Pearl but that could also be because it’s somewhat more contemporary now that it’s set in the 80s.

There's also something that feels forced about her encountering yet another crazy killer after X...this time bc it's 80s LA, it's the Night Stalker. And the whole "I wanna be a star!" thing was done to perfection in Pearl and feels repetitive here. So it's taking an element out of X and and element out of Pearl and combining them but to what looks like diminishing returns. But I hope it's great.

I mean Scream had Sidney encounter a new killer for like 5 movies in a row. I don’t think it needs to be 100% believable. These slasher series are a bit schlocky.

This looks way more meta than I thought it would be. I just hope it takes a better "Stab" at it than Scream 3. The inclusion of Richard Ramirez (?) is very much a curve ball. Ti West clearly commentating on the birth of slashers with the sleazy excess of LA during that period of time.

Sure. I do hate every Scream movie after the first one lol. 

[Krissykins]

Looks incredible. Knew it would.

Amazing trailer. This is my most anticipated movie of the year

[filmlover]

I didn't see X or Pearl in theaters but will be checking this out on the big screen for sure. Good trailer.
