Now
that's an exciting trailer! Looks incredible
Too true! This series is the only current franchise I have any interest in and this doesn't look like it'll disappoint. With his production work, Cruise is almost at auteur status with his commitment to real-life effects and out-and-out entertainment. I’m a big admirer.

I wonder what's going on in Texas that's making all its filmmakers turn to space

Given what's going on in Texas, can you blame them?

Remember that cute-looking kid's movie
Wonder from a few years ago, with the boy with the facial deformity? Here's
White Bird: A Wonder Story, a "spin-off sequel/prequel and companion piece" to
Wonder featuring one of the schmaltziest, most ridiculous allegories for physical disability I've ever seen

Umm, so I guess all oppressed people 'get' the same thing - uniqueness smashed in favor of broad collectivistic victim-identification? That's some pretty utopian material given that the opposite practice seems to be the default today! I don't think the allegory is funny, but I laughed out loud when it was revealed with sincerity in the trailer because... what?!

That actually seems interesting as
when I wrote up the film in ludicrous detail a few years back the aspect that I ended up being the most interested in was theorising about what could have happened to that bully character who was removed from the school without particularly learning his lesson about tolerance because his parents were more incensed by his bullying being called out. It was interesting to speculate about how coming from a privileged family with the power to insulate from having to accept consequences for actions as shown through that experience may have affected him as a character, potentially making him even worse. From that trailer it seems as if this film may be trying to redeem that character a bit, albeit seemingly doing it through opening his eyes to persecution through telling him a well worn Holocaust story. And it may all depend on how much weight the framing story may be given as compared to the period story (and which lessons the character learns from it) that will be the most telling part.
Although Mirren will have to watch out that
Maureen Lipman doesn't get on her case again over her casting!

I had a visceral reaction to the mere announcement of this film, solely due to the irony of Hollywood patting themselves on the back by producing a movie about the wrongdoings of one of its most powerful (and prolific) abusers and simultaneously washing its hands of its involvement with any wrongdoing. It's kind of gross, in my opinion; I have a gut feeling that this film (and any others that deal with similar subject matter after the fact) will be seen as some sort of marker of progress in the film industry, all the while the same abuses to women will be perpetuated behind closed doors. The same cycles of misogyny and abuse will continue, and no one will learn anything of note. So, of course, I expect this to sweep every awards show next year

This reminded me of something I've been wondering recently so might as well ask here. When did voiceover narration in trailers, ubiquitous in the 90s, go out of fashion? What was the last trailer to use it in a non-knowing way?

Maybe when Hal Douglas died? Not being facetious, he really had a distinct voice people were familiar with, and it's possible that gave studios more reason to use him and employ narration.

I have no idea either, but – much like the disappearance of laugh tracks in (particularly British) comedy shows from the early 2000s – I'm very grateful that it did.

Adieu Godard
A small Indian village: an old man is addicted to watching pornography with his friends. One fine day, he accidentally brings home a DVD with a Godard film inside it. Attracted by the newness of the film, he starts renting all of Godard’s oeuvre, leading him and his friends to attempt to organize a Godard film festival in their village.
