Looking really good, July is gonna be great with this and Bojack

 

[Concept17]

Assuming the trailer scores are the show score, seems like the soundtrack might be dope.

Was thinking the same thing.

I keep waiting for Mulder to show up during the trailers.

 

[iPaul93]

Damn,this looks good.

 

[hiryu]

Trailer #2

Nice, love the Thing poster and them playing DnD. Very 80s Spielberg.

 

[Dalek]

Trailer #2

Man, I've got a feeling this show is going to really hit a nerve with people-the way that Lost did. This looks absolutely incredible.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Baller poster - the best of old school Spielburg right here.

Holy shit 🙌

 

[Samurai G0SU]

Will is be in 4k?

 

[Elandyll]

Man, I'm dying here.


2 weeks!

 

[Somnia]

First trailer looked good, but the 2nd one has me extremely excited. Netflix continuing to slay it with original programming.

 

[More_Badass]

Trailer #2

How is it compared to the first trailer?

 

[MaKTaiL]

How is it compared to the first trailer?

Even more awesome than the first one.

 

[Toa TAK]

Was thinking the same thing.

I keep waiting for Mulder to show up during the trailers.

"Scully, I think it was aliens that took the kid. I'm gonna check it out."

 

[Dalek]

I just noticed that this will only be 8 episodes...

 

[Shambalakan]

At first I didn't recognise Winona Ryder! Always remember her as a 20 years old actress!

 

[Wabba]

Will is be in 4k?

.

 

[Lifejumper]

I just noticed that this will only be 8 episodes...

Even more hyped now.

 

[heavy liquid]

Even the font used in the trailers is very early/mid-80's and reminiscent of things like, say, the Choose Your Own Adventure Books that came out then. It's a nice touch and good attention to detail.

 

[Gordon Shumway]

Looks great..

 

[shadowkat]

Trailer #2

I'm in.

Baller poster - the best of old school Spielburg right here.

This is amazing.

 

[Solid SOAP]

This looks pretty cool! I think I'll jump in.

 

[Inceptional]

Damn, this looks like it may fulfill the promise that Super 8 made but completely failed to deliver on which was to be a cool, retro, 80's slice of Spielbergian nostalgia. I hope it delivers.

 

[Volimar]

Trailer #2

That font looks familiar.



The video that autoplayed after was this one for Marco Polo. LOL

[XxSlasherMcGirkxX]

Wow this looks good I'll resub to watch this.

 

[GK86]

I will make the OT for it. Start hitting me with subtitles.

 

[Dalek]

I will make the OT for it. Start hitting me with subtitles.

Super '88?

 

[Kaiken]

I am now interested. Thanks, Gaf.

 

[Raxus]

Super '88?

Damn. That's good.

I was going to go with

Choose Your Own Adventure.

 

[BrokenFiction]

Super '88?

Oooh, I like it.

 

[GK86]

Could go with the Joker quote:

Stranger Things |OT| Whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you Stranger

 

[Marvel]

I really must get Netflix... this seems like the show to get me to do it.

 

[MagnaderAlpha]

Yeah, that's trying to emulate the '80s. I mean, I love the tone and look (very much '80s Spielberg going on), but the premise seems iffy. I'll give it a shot.

For being a person ultra critical about modern movies and shows being set in the 80s, they got the look down. It's toned down enough to not be a "Totally Awesome and Righteous" spoof of pure neon and hairspray, but it's also taking cues from how it kinda really looked back then without just saying, "Yeah, lets take hipster fashion and play a few 80s songs(always Indie alternative songs from bands like like The Pixies and early R.E.M) and just call it a day!"

I tend to say, if one wants to research the 80s and how it REALLY was, google image search stuff like "80s yearbook pics" or "80s family pics" or archival footage on YouTube of home videos or new broadcasts. Take a peek into how REALLY looked back then, not how modern pop culture's depiction THOUGHT it looked. It's not hard and totally free of cost.

 

[whyamihere]

That trailer really hit me in all the right places.

 

[Silkworm]

Could go with the Joker quote:

Stranger Things |OT| Whatever doesn't kill you simply makes you Stranger

Hmmm...

Stranger Things [OT] are afoot at the Circle-K

I tried :-D

 

[MaKTaiL]

Stranger Things |OT| Not Normal

[SDCowboy]

Will is be in 4k?

I assume so. Aren't all Netflix shows now supposed to be filmed in 4k?

 

[GK86]

I will put up the OT later tonight.

 

[Baroquemantic]

I hadn't heard about this until now. That trailer was awesome.

 

[Jarlaxle]

Getting some stroooong ET and Stephen King vibes, definitely gotta check this out on the 15th.

I thought the same thing. Looks pretty cool. I'll definitely check it out.

 

[neorej]

Will is be in 4k?

IIRC all Netflix originals are 4k HDR.

 

[Pachimari]

I'll check this out for sure.

 

[Sulik2]

One more week, so excited for this.

 

[Kevin]

This looks amazing. Will be watching for sure.

 

[BrokenFiction]

According to Matthew Modine, it's going to be renewed for a second season.

http://screencrush.com/netflix-stranger-things-season-2-matthew-modine/

We’re especially curious to check out Netflix’s upcoming Spielberg-tinged Stranger Things, though the ten-episode series hasn’t clarified very much of an over-arching story. They may have time yet to work that out, however, as series star Matthew Modine says Stranger Things Season 2 is already in the works.

Take this with a grain of salt for the moment, as Netflix representatives say a Season 2 renewal for Stranger Things is “not confirmed” at this time, though a new interview with interview with French magazine Premiere sees Matthew Modine saying in no uncertain terms, “it’s a series … oh, there will be a Season 2, yeah.”

 

[FunkyPajamas]

Can't wait! Will probably binge watch that weekend, lol. Hopefully it's good. My experience with Netflix original series so far has been meh.

 

[Palmer_v1]

Stranger Things |OT| Down here, it's our time.

 

[Samurai G0SU]

I assume so. Aren't all Netflix shows now supposed to be filmed in 4k?

IIRC all Netflix originals are 4k HDR.

I hope so, i only ask because the recently released season of orange is the new black wasnt 4k and that is an original.

Can't wait though. This is going to be exciting!

 

[GK86]

Stranger Things |OT| Down here, it's our time.

Maybe I will combine this one and the Super 88 one.

 

[Palmer_v1]

Maybe I will combine this one and the Super 88 one.

Definitely needs something to draw people in. I can't think of anything particularly clever that also hints at the nostalgia/throwback value of this.

 

[GK86]

Definitely needs something to draw people in. I can't think of anything particularly clever that also hints at the nostalgia/throwback value of this.

Using quotes from Goonies or Super 88 will definitely draw people in. Especially since the comparison between the show and the movies are on point.
