There were some fun trailers this week that touched on heady sci-fi, comic book movies and taboo horror, each with an entertaining mix of genres. Joker: Folie à Deux is a comic film about the love affair between the Joker and Harley Quinn, which is also a musical and new to Apple TV Plus Dark matter The series is an abduction thriller with an interesting alternate reality twist. And then there’s Maxxinea horror slasher that also appears to be a murder mystery.
Joker: Folie à Deux takes a look at the origins of the romance between the Joker and Harley Quinn, explored in some of The Joker’s best episodes Batman: The Animated Series and was only slightly introduced in 2016 Suicide Squad. This film is supposed to be a “jukebox musical” – you know red mill, except that it’s about a murderous couple with unconventional jokes. It will be released on October 4th.
Dark matter’The main character, a physicist, is kidnapped by a parallel version of himself and drawn into another reality. The film stars Joel Edgerton, Jennifer Connelly, Alice Braga, Jimmi Simpson, Dayo Okeniyi and Oakes Fegley. It will be released on May 8th on Apple TV Plus. Apple had some absolute sci-fi bangers – my personal favorites were For all humanity And Hello morning!and I enjoy it Monarch: Legacy of Monsters, too (although I haven’t quite gotten there yet). Streaming starts on May 8th.
Maxxine is the third film in a trilogy that follows an adult film star named Maxine Minx (Mia Goth) as she tries to get into Hollywood against the backdrop of a serial killer known as “The Night Stalker.” Like the previous films, X And pearlit lasts a specific decade, this time the 1980s. Maxxine Also starring are Elizabeth Debicki, Moses Sumney, Michelle Monaghan, Bobby Cannavale, Halsey, Lily Collins, Giancarlo Esposito and Kevin Bacon. It will be released on July 5th.
Another Apple film, Fly me to the moon introduces Scarlett Johannson as a marketing manager named Kelly Jones, hired by NASA to film a fake moon landing just in case the real moon landing fails. Channing Tatum plays launch director Cole Davis, who is responsible for making the actual landing happen. And of course, the trailer can’t resist a reference to the long-standing conspiracy theory that Stanley Kubrick filmed the first Apollo moon landing. Other stars include Anna Garcia, Jim Rash, Noah Robbins, Ray Romano and Woody Harrelson. The film hits theaters on July 12th.
