A new trailer was released for Nutcracker & the Four Realms , along with this description: "All Clara (Mackenzie Foy) wants is a key – a one-of-a-kind key that will unlock a box that holds a priceless gift. A golden thread, presented to her at godfather Drosselmeyer’s (Morgan Freeman) annual holiday party, leads her to the coveted key—which promptly disappears into a strange and mysterious parallel world. It’s there that Clara encounters a soldier named Phillip (Jayden Fowora-Knight), a gang of mice and the regents who preside over three Realms: Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers and Land of Sweets. Clara and Phillip must brave the ominous Fourth Realm, home to the tyrant Mother Ginger (Helen Mirren), to retrieve Clara’s key and hopefully return harmony to the unstable world. Starring Keira Knightley as the Sugar Plum Fairy, Disney’s new holiday feature film The Nutcracker and the Four Realms is directed by Lasse Hallström and Joe Johnston, and inspired by E.T.A. Hoffmann’s classic tale." There's a little more to go on for people like me who have never really fully seen the full story of The Nutcracker . I've seen excerpts here & there, but have never really been interested enough to see the whole story. And if I'm being totally honest, this trailer didn't make me want to hold my breath til November 2nd. Don't get me wrong, it looks visually amazing. In fact, I'm blown away by the visuals displayed here. I just didn't get much from the trailer that I hadn't already known. It looked like it would definitely grab anyone who's a Nutcracker fan already, but I didn't see anything that grabbed me except the synopsis. The synopsis actually sounds more appealing than what they've shown. This thing could have some hope for me yet. Won't know for sure until November 2nd. Maybe future trailers, with a little more story will help curve my excitement up. Anyway, what do y'all think? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Keira Knightley As A Sugar Plum Fairy In The Nutctacker & The Four Realms
Here's that one that just kinda snuck up on me, & if I'm being honest I'm not really sure how interested I am in this one. EW just put out a first look at The Nutcracker & the Four Realms, a topic on which I no nothing about. I've never actually seen The Nutcracker al the way through in any form. Apparently, it's about a young girl Clara (Lasse Hallstrom), who gets thrown into a magic world of toy soldiers & militant mice. She lost a key that will unlock a priceless gift from her mother. The journey to get it back will take her across the Land of Snowflakes, Land of Flowers, & Land of Sweets. The last of which is where she meets Keira Knightley's Sugar Plum Fairy. Everything needs an antagonist, & this is where all of this actually got my attention. Hellen Mirren will play Mother Ginger, who rules over the Fourth Realm. I love me some Hellen Mirren. The film's score will nod to Tchaikovsky's score, & will feature a ballet sequence featuring Misty Copeland. Keeping it on the level with the classic. It arrives November 2, 2018, & I have to say, I want to see more of this. I really don't know what to think, as like I said, this is one of the classics that eluded me. I really have nothing to compare this to. The pictures have a fantastical look to them that I can't understand until I see some context to put them in. Knightley's hair makes me want some cotton candy though. That I know for sure. However, I'm unsure what is on the rope in the second pic. At first my imagination was running away with me, but the more I look at it, I think it's just a tree. Anyway, what do y'all think about these pics? More importantly, what do y'sll think about this film? Put it in the comments, like, & share.
Pirates Arr Not So Good At Keeping Secrets / Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales International Trailer
I'm now starting to feel over trailered as Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales releases it international trailer. I'm just staring to feel I know things I didn't want to know. First, we get Orlando Bloom's Will Turner. Followed by the revelation that Brenton Thwaites is playing his son, Henry Turner. Now, we have this trailer confirming Keira Knightley's return as Elizabeth Swan. For all I know this could be the first 5 minutes of the film, but still, wouldn't it have been awesome to be in the theater & then BOOM! Elizabeth Swan, you're welcome. Surprise cameos are what's up! I just hope we didn't skip a really cool reveal for one that comes off lackluster. It seems like a waste to not confirm these things for so long, & give it up right before the release. I still can't wait to see Pirates though don't get me wrong. They're 3 for 4 in my book, & the 1 wasn't horrible, it just wasn't as great as yhe others. Kinda meh. Whatcha think, too much?
