That&#8217;s probably mostly because it stars Chlo\u00eb Grace Moretz and Julianne Moore, since we really can&#8217;t make much else about it at this point. This latest retelling of Stephen King&#8217;s classic novel marks the third adaptation, along with two stage performances and a sequel. I have high hopes due to the two wonderful actresses, but I&#8217;ll reserve judgment at least until the next trailer.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=JWGFQpPvKgo&#038;feature=em-uploademail-new<\/p>\n<h5>&#8216;Stoker&#8217;<\/h5>\n<p>I absolutely love the structure and style of this preview. The creepiness factor is very high, and the few glimpses or words we get make Chan-wook Park&#8217;s latest psychological thriller look unbelievably disturbing. The opening with Nicole Kidman saying something horrible to her daughter is chilling, and Mia Wasikowska is spine-tinglingly creepy. Sadly, this is one of several projects that Tony Scott had been working on before his death. Arguably of more interest, the film is also &#8216;Prison Break&#8217; star Wentworth Miller&#8217;s first screenplay to be produced. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MXaanQkzrXU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h5>&#8216;Maniac&#8217;<\/h5>\n<p>Let&#8217;s start by identifying this trailer as NSFW (not safe for work), and I really mean it! This is the latest splatter film from producer Alexandre Aja, with Franck Khalfoun directing, and is of the &#8220;New French Extremity&#8221; horror subgenre. Based on an original screenplay by Joe Spinell, this is a remake of William Lustig&#8217;s 1980 shocker, one that I have a particular fondness for. Elijah Wood plays the mentally disturbed, mannequin-collecting Frank Zito. I like the look of the movie based on this trailer, but I&#8217;m also a bit hesitant, as I always am of remakes. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4umIfrP_vMk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>For more of the latest movie trailers, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.highdefdigest.com\/blog\/latest-trailers\/\">check out our trailers page.<\/a><\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the post title makes clear, this week&#8217;s trailers feature two retreads and one fresh idea \u2013 the latter of which marks Chan-wook Park&#8217;s American debut.
