This felt like watching the trailer for a Cruelty Squad movie.

The name and title font also look like they would be used for a throwback FPS.

But nothing really comes close to the hype that song creates. I was like really Bend It Like Beckham? Again? But if it works...it works. All other cues we attempted just didn't hit that sweet spot.

Surely the Maytals would have hit best.

That was my point. I didn't want to be too cruel (,the film looks entirely uninteresting to me) but my first thought was "looks alike a film 101 student just discovered Svankmajer" but I dialed it back.

Bill Skarsgård is playing Orlok. Also stars Nicholas Hoult, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Lily-Rose Depp, and Willem Dafoe.

The first key images Focus is using to sell the film are loving incredible, and this is Robert getting to do a dream project. Dude’s been wanting to do this since he was a kid.

Not quite, he just did a stretch of the edit for MM in Adelaide... And intervened during a knife attack in a 7-11 lol

You know I think that's precisely why I really liked the new Wonka. Yes it was an origins story but it didn't feel the need to provide some foundation for literally, well, anything really that happened in the original movie. It was totally it's own thing and was soooo much better for it.

Yeah if it was like new Ghostbusters young Grandpa Joe would have been a major character and it would have had some terrible joke about Wonka giving him the idea for naming his grandson Charlie.

It looks so loving awful. I was hoping the remember this would have stopped with afterlife and the gross Harold Ramis ghost but it looks like it's double downing on nostalgia.

I'm a sucker for a good occult bookstore scene, but based on the rest of the trailer I have to assume that it's just going to be a rehash of GB2.

It can still have the trappings (heh) of Ghostbusters without re-using specific moments or bringing back everything and still totally count for a nostalgia fix.
