Buckle up for some more Solo footage. Disney and Lucasfilm have just revealed a German trailer for the upcoming Star Wars standalone movie, which offers new shots, including a good amount of Paul Bettany's villain, Dryden Vos. As of right now, there is no real indication that Dryden Vos has any relation to the Jedi Quinlan Vos, but given that we see Bettany's character wielding some bladed weapons, don't be surprised if we get some sort of canon connection in the actual movie.

While this Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer is entirely in German, the lines spoken by Dryden Vos translate to, "Give me a reason not to kill you" and "You will have to be careful for the rest of your life," according to the fan site Star Wars News Net. Beyond that, there are a few select action shots and landscape shots that are new. Nothing mind-blowingly significant, but the footage all looks great.

There are still a lot of questions about this movie and whether or not it can actually please fans of the franchise, but it does look like a Star Wars movie. If it feels like a Star Wars movie when it comes out, Lucasfilm may have bailed themselves out of an impressively bad situation. Ron Howard earned himself a sole directing credit for his work, which began shortly after Phil Lord and Chris Miller were fired. The duo finished shooting almost the entirety of the movie when Lucasfilm let them go. Howard had to come in and, instead of just doing some reshoots to patch it up, he wound up reshooting the majority of it.

A great many fans still have hesitation, understandably so, about Alden Ehrenreich's Han Solo. For one, we haven't seen a ton of him speaking and interacting with other characters in the trailers for Solo: A Star Wars Story. Beyond that, it's hard to imagine anyone else taking up the mantle of Harrison Ford's iconic character. But if the young actor can pull it off, this movie could be just what Lucasfilm needs right now after the divisive movie that The Last Jedi became. It also recently came to light that Ehrenreich has a three-picture deal with Lucasfilm. So if this goes well, we could be seeing more young Han Solo in the future.

Solo: A Star Wars Story arrives in theaters on May 25, which means it will have only been five months since the release of The Last Jedi. That's by far the shortest gap between movies in the franchise ever. It also diverts from Disney's strategy of releasing the movies in December, which has paid off handsomely. Will this strategy pay off? We won't have to wait much longer to find out. Be sure to check out the new Solo: A Star Wars Story trailer, courtesy of the Star Wars Deutschland YouTube channel, for yourself below.

New Solo International Trailer Takes Han Prisoner

[ad_1]


A new red band trailer for Sorry to Bother You has arrived. This marks the directorial debut for Boots Riley, who also wrote the script for what promises to be one of the most unique moviegoing experiences of the year. The new trailer has telemarketers putting on their best "white voice," a very uncomfortable phone call from a telemarketer while people are getting busy and oh so much more.

To get things going, we see someone snorting a ridiculously long line of cocaine, just to set the tone. It only gets more wild from there. This movie looks surreal, imaginative and totally nuts. Much of the footage used in this red band trailer was also included in the first trailer released in March. But this one is packed with F-bombs, borderline nudity and other things of that nature which provide a better idea of the unhinged, bizarre flick that is coming our way this summer.

Sorry to Bother You takes place in an alternate present-day version of Oakland, California. Telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success, propelling him into a macabre universe that turns his life upside down. The cast for the movie includes Lakeith Stanfield, who stars as Cassius and is coming fresh off of his memorable turn in last year's Get Out. The ensemble is rounded out with Tessa Thompson (Thor: Ragnarok), Armie Hammer (Call Me by Your Name), Terry Crews (The Expendables), Steven Yeun (The Walking Dead), Omari Hardwick (Power), Jermaine Fowler (Superior Donuts), and Danny Glover (Lethal Weapon).

Sorry to Bother You has been a festival favorite already this year after being screened at both Sundance and SXSW. So far, it has received rave reviews, currently boasting a 92 percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Whether or not that will actually translate to business at the box office is one thing, but it's clear that this insane looking movie is working for critics who have already witnessed it.

The marketing campaign for this goes beyond a trailer and some posters. The studio has also launched a merch store, which features some of the distinctive earrings featured in the movie, as well as shirts, lighters and other items of the like. One item of note is the actual Toyota Tercel featured in the movie, which is listed for $23,999.40. Buyer beware; the car may not actually drive, but the notes promise that it is an actual car, even though it looks to have been pieced together from several different cars.

Sorry to Bother You arrives in theaters on July 6 in limited release and should see an expanded release in the weeks that follow. If you want to check out some of the items for sale, or if you want to scoop up that Tercel before someone else gets to it, visit Store.SorryToBotherYou.Movie. Be sure to check out the trailer, as well as some new posters for the movie, for yourself below.
