We try to cover as much as we can in details on The Reel Bits, but we are just one small site. A number of great trailers arrived on the scene this week that we just didn’t have time to give full posts to. Here’s a cool collection of them.
Goosebumps 2: Haunted Halloween
The first film flew by our radar, but the first film clearly resonated with the generation of kids who grew up reading R.L. Stine’s books. Here’s a look at the sequel starring Wendi McLendon-Covey, Madison Iseman, Jeremy Ray Taylor, Caleel Harris, Chris Parnell, and Ken Jeong. It’s out in Australia from Sony Pictures Releasing on 25 October 2018, just in time for Halloween.
Widows
From Academy Award®-winning director Steve McQueen (12 Years a Slave) and co-writer and bestselling author Gillian Flynn (Gone Girl), comes a modern-day thriller set against the backdrop of crime, passion and corruption based on the novel by Lynda La Plante. Four women with nothing in common except a debt left behind by their dead husbands’ criminal activities. Has a staggeringly good cast that includes Viola Davis, Michelle Rodriguez, Elizabeth Debicki, Cynthia Erivo, Colin Farrell, Daniel Kaluuya, Jacki Weaver With Robert Duvall and Liam Neeson. It’s out in Australian cinemas on 29 November 2018 from 20th Century Fox.
Green Book
This is what happens when Peter Farrelly (There’s Something About Mary) does something more serious. Starring Viggo Mortensen and Mahershala Ali, GREEN BOOK is the true story of a friendship that defied the odds. Set in 1962, the film follows Italian-American Tony Lip (Viggo Mortensen), who is hired to chauffer African-American pianist Dr. Don Shirley (Mahershala Ali) on a concert tour through the Deep South. The film will have its World Premiere as a Gala Presentation at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival. It is released in Australia on 24 January 2019 from eOne.
An Evening with Beverly Luff Lynn
“From the director of The Greasy Strangler” should be enough of a hook, but if you need more there’s plenty in this quirky trailer. Aubrey Plaza, Emile Hirsch, Jemaine Clement, Matt Berry, and Craig Robinson star in Jim Hosking’s film about…well, we’re still not entirely sure. Yet it got some praise when it screened at Sundance this year, and is due to hit US cinemas on 19 October 2018.
