Catch it here first! We are on the lookout for the freshest, hottest and coolest YA trailers as they come out, with the bare basics laid out for your enjoyment. Watch this space and enjoy, coming soon to a theater near you!
GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY
Summed up as: A slightly more serious trailer for Marvel’s next big gamble.
Coolest thing in the trailer: We finally get more of Zoe Saldana! (the green version, not the blue.)
Dumbest thing in the trailer: Toss up between John C Reilly’s outfit, Glenn Close’s hair and Rocket Raccoon (voiced by Bradley Cooper).
Worth seeing opening weekend? We are still not convinced…
INBETWEENERS 2
Summed up as: Another rude romp for these horny hapless lads, this time Down Under.
Funniest thing in the trailer: The ‘mobile virgin conversion unit’.
Dumbest thing in the trailer: Everything else.
Worth seeing opening weekend? No.
DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES
Summed up as: The promising sequel to the reboot (rebootquel?)
Weirdest thing in the trailer: The super-scary-looking ape who appears just as the ape leader says, “Apes do not want war!”
Awesomest thing in the trailer: The monkey who fools the bad guys into letting him play with their gun. An ape-sized mistake.
Worth seeing opening weekend? We are going to go with yes, if only for Gary Oldman and Keri Russell (Felicity!)
DEAR WHITE PEOPLE
Summed up as: A festival favorite that turns racial stereotyping on its ear.
Funniest thing in the trailer: The Gremlins analogy. How true!
Did they show too much? No, we want more gags and social commentary!
Worth seeing opening weekend? This looks smart and funny. So yes!
ANIMAL
Summed up as: Another cabin in the woods movie, but so far we can’t find the twist…
Coolest thing in the trailer: G.B.F.’s Brent Van Camp, aka Paul Iacono, is bringing some much-needed gay to the genre, but still, that’s not enough of a twist.
Hottest thing in the trailer: We are loving us some Keke Palmer!
Did they show too much? No, not nearly enough…
Worth seeing opening weekend? Let’s decide with trailer #2, shall we?
