Star Trek Discovery
Trekkies, rejoice!
The first Star Trek TV show to air in ten years is right around the corner. While the project has been delayed numerous times and fallen victim to lots of behind the scenes musical chairs, we have hope that Star Trek Discovery will deliver just what fans have been asking for for a decade now.
Teasing an ominous atmosphere, this Discovery trailer gives a look at all the show’s major players: from Sonequa Martin-Green’s lead to Michelle Yeoh’s kickass captain to Doug Jones’ alien Saru and more. We also learn that the crew of the U.S.S. Discovery are caught in the middle of a conflict with the Klingons.
Some fans might grumble over this and that, but ultimately, Discovery looks promising, especially thanks to its talented, diverse cast.
Ready Player One
SDCC gave us our first glimpse at Steven Spielberg’s latest project, and fans were thrilled with what they saw.
Based on Ernest Cline’s best-selling novel, Ready Player One is a big ol’ love letter to the 80s and looks to be a treasure trove of references to many geek favourites. The movie stars X-Men: Apocalypse‘s Tye Sheridan as Wade Watts, who’s one of the many teens in this version of the future who spend all their time in the expansive virtual reality world known as the OASIS.
This first trailer teases a visual spectacle, using the same kind of state-of-the-art CGI that made Spielberg’s The BFG pop out of the screen. Plus, there are tons of fan-pleasing crossovers and cameos that are sure to excite those who grew up in the 80s or know their pop culture well.
Cline’s novel has been described as “Willy Wonka meets The Matrix,” so be prepared to enter a world of pure imagination when the movie arrives on March 30th.
