I’ve found a few trailers that have been released over the past few weeks. I’m not so sure they deserve their own dedicated articles, so I’ve stuffed them all into this one.
Midsommar
The new film from Hereditary director Ari Aster, Midsommar recently started getting a load of positive vibes from critics after the first screening.
The synopsis:
“Dani and Christian are a young American couple with a relationship on the brink of falling apart. But after a family tragedy keeps them together, a grieving Dani invites herself to join Christian and his friends on a trip to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer festival in a remote Swedish village. What begins as a carefree summer holiday in a land of eternal sunlight takes a sinister turn when the insular villagers invite their guests to partake in festivities that render the pastoral paradise increasingly unnerving and viscerally disturbing.”
Midsommar is in theaters from July 3, 2019.
Point Blank
Netflix has Anthony Mackie’s new film locked and loaded, they dropped the new trailer for Point Blank which is directed by Joe Lynch (Knights Of Badassdom) and also stars Frank Grillo.
The synopsis:
“When his pregnant wife is kidnapped and held as collateral, Paul, an ER nurse, must team with the badly injured career criminal and murder suspect under his charge in order to save the lives of his wife and unborn child. Pitted against rival gangs and a deadly ring of corrupt cops, the unlikely duo find a way to survive together in the fight of their lives.”
Point Blank hits Netflix on July 12, 2019.
Official Secrets
Matt Smith and Keira Knightley star in political thriller Official Secrets.
Based on a true story about a whistleblower who exposed secret information about the run-up to the Iraq war.
“In 2003, as politicians in Britain and the US angle to invade Iraq, GCHQ translator Katharine Gun leaks a classified e-mail that urges spying on members of the UN Security Council to force through the resolution to go to war. Charged with breaking the Official Secrets Act, and facing imprisonment, Katharine and her lawyers set out to defend her actions. With her life, liberty and marriage threatened, she must stand up for what she believes in.”
