Trailers of the week: Squid Game, Presence, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
With all the noise from the lead-up to the 2024 US Presidential election next week, you’d be forgiven for having missed some of the trailers that came out over the last few days. Not to worry; I’ve got you covered for some of the best ones.
Squid Game is finally returning for its second season soon, and in a new teaser, Lee Jung-jae’s Gi-hun looks like he’s preparing to stage an uprising. Whatever happens, it looks like the season will be a bloody, violent return for the dystopian competition on December 26th.
I’m very excited that Jude Law’s Star Wars debut, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, is essentially a swashbuckling pirate adventure. The vibes it’s throwing off feel like a nice blend of The Goonies and Star Trek: Prodigy, and I’m certainly ready. The series debuts December 3rd on Disney Plus.
The moody trailer for Steven Soderbergh’s haunted house horror film Presence doesn’t show the supernatural figure that’s terrorizing Lucy Liu and her suburban family. That’s because it all takes place from the perspective of the ghost itself, which I didn’t realize until I read Variety’s write-up of this trailer. It’s already an eerie preview, but knowing that made it much more so on my second viewing. The movie hits theaters on January 24th.
Luca Guadagnino’s Queer, based on William Burroughs’ semi-autobiographical novel of the same name, stars Daniel Craig as William Lee, an American expat who lives in 1950s Mexico City and falls for a younger man named Eugene (Drew Starkey). Having already gotten showings at the Venice Film Festival, some reviews have praised it for Daniel Craig’s performance and Guadagnino’s “trippy” direction. Queer releases on November 27th.
