Trailers for movies, television and games

This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.

Rules

  1. All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
  2. No fan-made trailers or remixes.
  3. Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
  4. Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
  5. Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.
  6. Don't be a jerk.

Prequel to IT beginning in 1960s, also covering origins of Pennywise the Clown.

In other words, welcome to the IT show.

Editor's note -- HBO took down the video at the original link ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HG-wsRsg8s ), so this link is being replaced with a common content reposter.

We know the origins tho. Well at least as our understanding can conceive such a being. With us being locked to 3 dimensions and all.

Isn't that half the point. Big bang level Ancient cosmic entity from beyond the stars. Possible parent of Dandelo. Enemy of Maturin.

Yah, I don't know if this HBO show that banks on the creepiness of a scary clown is going to get deep into Dark Tower lore.

That said, HBO is the ideal venue for a proper Dark Tower universe adaptation.

Oh for fuck sake. I'm so sick if Origin Stories. Pennywise works precisely because of the uncertainty around his origins. We're not sure how long he's been around the town but it seems like he's existed for as long as the town has. Maybe more.

Then some dickhead hack comes along and goes, 'Wouldn't it be cool if we revealed his origin?' No! No it wouldn't. Its such lazy writing. They can't come up with decent stories so they have to bate people with bullshit franchise intrigue that doesn't even show any real interest in the source material.

I don’t have very high hopes, but I’m damn excited
