Here’s what the stuidos thought the Solo audience would be interested in …
Robin Hood — Oh, dear Lord in Heaven, it’s Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves meets Assassin’s Creed meets King Arthur: Legend of the Sword meets Kingsman, with an excess of bullet time shots, some awful-looking archery, and a bizarre anachronistic mixture of contemporary dress and medieval stuff. Good God, no.
Adrift — This trailer about shipwrecked-at-sea survival drama focused more on her than him, this time around. I still have no desire to see it.
The Sisters Brothers — An offbeat Western comedy? I guess? Pass.
Mission Impossible: Fall Out — I don’t know if this is precisely the same trailer I have previously seen, but it didn’t bring anything new to the table. This one’s for streaming a year from now.
Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom — Same as last one I saw. I’ll catch up with this series. Some day. I do like the music.
Mowgli — I presume Kipling has fallen into Public Domain, as I am pretty sure we didn’t need another live-action Jungle Book movie so close to the Disney release, but are getting one anyway. Voice cast of very prominent actors, but the trailer is kind of a hot mess.
Ant-Man and the Wasp — Previously seen trailer, still eager for its arrival.
Incredibles 2 — Previously seen trailer, still eager for its arrival.
Oh, and before the trailers formally started, there was a featurette about Crazy Rich Asians, a rom-com about just what it says on the tin, which I will also be passing on.
Anyone have some good reasons for me to change my mind about any of the above?

That Robin Hood looked awful. I don't even want to see trailers for it.
The only one I'm interested in is Incredibles 2.
Robin Hood looks like it was made just to excuse and upcoming video game tie-in.
Huh. I read THE SISTERS BROTHERS. It wasn't funny. I mean, it's weird, and had some really great details of life in Gold Rush California, but it wasn't a comedy and I can't see it being particularly adaptable to film. But I'm kind of intrigued that they tried (goes off to find the trailer).
They made a movie of the Sisters Brothers!? Wow.
It was a fun book, so I’ll probably see it when it comes out on demand.
+Theron Bretz If you told me the movie was more "weird" than "funny," I would believe you. The trailer was not long, and it definitely had a "weird" vibe, and I may have tried to shoehorn it into a category it wasn't trying to be.
A longer version of the trailer is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3OwvqKwTKmE
The production company describes it as "a genre-hybrid with comedic elements".
Huh, I might see Sisters Brothers. That one wasn't a trailer for my showing.
1. Robin Hood looks awful, probably even worse than i thought solo would be
2. Adrift (with actually opens in a couple days) doesn’t look bad, but its not really my thing
3. Sisters brothers looks interesting…ill wait to hear more about it. Never even heard of the book though. It does seem a bit out of place, but maybe was there because its a western and solo is billed as a space western
4. Mission impossible—hard pass, can’t believe they’re still making these. Won’t be long before Tom Cruise is institutionalized anyway.
5. Jurassic world actually looks pretty good, lot of action and scares. Plus i heard they’re using real animatronics for dinosaurs instead of cgi like the last film, so that’s a plus. And there’s some good buzz from early screenings. I’d recommend seeing this on the big
screen
6. Mowgli….probably a stinker, and definitely too soon.
7. Ant man—totally seeing this
8. Incredibles 2–also totally seeing this
I got all of these (except mi6)
btw when i saw it at my regal theater i also got the crazy rich asians featurette
did you see it at a regal theater or amc?
@Eli – That would be in a Regal. 🙂
yeah, well i live in new york maybe that’s why the trailers were slightly different. i honestly prefer amc but there aren’t any where i live
