This is how you do a trailer

Those bits in the middle of Grindhouse were great as well.

CAUTION, nudity and gore NSFW!!!

Funnily enough, Edgar Wright directed the Don't segment for Grindhouse as well!

I hope the humor doesn't get annoying. Its teetering on the edge

Kids these days don't understand the legend that is Richard Dawson.

The original was cheesy as fuck but it was fun to watch. This looks like ass.

Imagine they got Drew Carey for this, or even better, Steve Harvey. Woulda set the tone! Though the Survivor guy, Jeff Probst, is probably the host they would have for a show like this.

Trailer dropped! Looks deliciously Edgar Wright instead of trying to mimic the 80s one.

That long trailer basically showed the whole movie and all big action scenes. lol

I agree.

Both movies are a parody on a ridiculous concept. Both are one part action and one part laughs.

But whatever the reason, the old Arnie movie (even with much shittier budget and effects) seems much better than this movie so far.

I see elements of Home Alone.

I'll check it out for Edgar Wright.

I was never that big on the old one until recently when i picked up the 4k bluray. It looks phenomenal and really elevates it IMO.

Action films usually aren't super high critical darlings, so I'll take this as good news.

Glen Powell proves he’s the next Tom Cruise in The Running Man

Edgar Wright’s exhilarating adaptation of Stephen King’s novel could propel the Texan actor into the stratosphere

www.telegraph.co.uk

5/5

It feels like a vintage Cruise project from his Minority Report and Collateral era – an action film with a timeliness that underscores, though never overwhelms, its go-for-broke showmanship. (This version cleaves to the plot of King's novel far more closely than the 1987 film starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, who makes a cameo of sorts as the face on this future American nightmare-scape's $100 bill.)

It is directed with a bottomless supply of early Noughties flair by Edgar Wright, who was himself coming of age as a film-maker at that time, on the Channel 4 sitcom Spaced and Shaun of the Dead. But it's perhaps Wright's first feature to feel, in a positive way, like the work of a director for hire: every flourish and trick here isn't in service of a singular creative vision so much as a great, rumbling excitement machine.

Never doubted Edgar Wright.
