A24 Just Dropped a Mysterious Trailer for ‘Untitled’ Science Fiction Movie
Question life. Live beyond.
Distribution company A24 has been killing it with their releases to such an extent that I recently came across an entire list of the best movies of 2016… released by A24. Films like Spring Breakers, Ex Machina, The Witch, Green Room, Swiss Army Man, and Moonlight have established A24 as a brand to be respected by literally everyone, and they continue to be one of the most interesting companies on the scene with a mysterious trailer that just dropped today.
The mystery movie is either titled Untitled or they just plain don’t want us to know the title at this moment in time, and honestly, we have no idea what to make of it. The trailer, which runs one-minute long, features a series of images with cryptic phrases like “beyond reality,” bear witness,” and “question life” over top of them, and all we’re really able to ascertain is that we’re definitely watching the trailer for a future-set science fiction film. Oddly enough, however, A24 doesn’t appear to have any sci-fi films on their current slate that correspond with this trailer.
While some are speculating that this is actually some sort of Ex Machina sequel, most don’t even seem to care. They’re sold already. Because it’s A24. And A24 is a mark of quality.
Us? We love mysterious trailers. And they don’t get much more mysterious than this…
In case you haven’t noticed, the public domain status of beloved icons like Winnie the Pooh, Cinderella and Mickey Mouse has been wreaking havoc on the horror genre in the past couple years, with filmmakers itching to get their hands on the characters and put them into twisted situations. In the wake of two Winnie the Pooh slashers, well, Pooh is about to battle Mickey.
It’s not from the same team behind the Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey films, to be clear, but Deadline reports that Glenn Douglas Packard (Pitchfork) will direct the horror movie Mickey vs. Winnie for Untouchables Entertainment and the website iHorror.
Deadline details, “The film follows two convicts in the 1920s who escape into a cursed forest only to be dragged and consumed into the depths of the dark forest’s muddy heart.
“A century later, a group of thrill-seeking friends unknowingly venture into the same woods. Their Airbnb getaway takes a horrifying turn when the convicts mutate into twisted versions of childhood icons Mickey Mouse & Winnie-The-Pooh, and emerge to terrorize them. A night of violence and gore erupts, as the group of friends battle against their now monstrous beloved childhood characters and fight to break free from the forest’s grip.
“In a horrific spectacle, Mickey and Winnie clash, painting the woods in a gruesome tableau of blood—a chilling testament to the curse’s insidious power.”
Glenn Douglas Packard wrote the screenplay that he’ll be directing.
“Horror fans call for the thrill of witnessing icons like the new Aliens and Avengers sharing the screen. While licensing nightmares make such crossovers rare, Mickey vs. Winnie serves as our tribute to that thrilling fantasy,” Packard said in a statement this week.
Producer Anthony Pernicka from iHorror previews, “We’re thrilled to unveil this unique take to horror fans. The Mickey Mouse featured in our film is unlike any iteration audiences have encountered before. Our portrayal doesn’t involve characters donning basic masks. Instead, we present deeply transformed, live-action horror renditions of these iconic figures, weaving together elements of innocence and malevolence. After experiencing the intense scenes we’ve crafted, you’ll never look at Mickey the same way again.”
