Trailers for movies, television and games

This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.
Rules
- All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
- No fan-made trailers or remixes.
- Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
- Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
- Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.
- Don't be a jerk.

Troma was part of a second wave of purveyors of B-movie schlock back in the 1970s and 80s. They were harkening back to the older B-movies of the 1950s (Rocketship XM, The Amazing Colossal Man, Plan 9 from Outer Space, the stuff you would see on old episodes of Mystery Science Theater 3000). This was all before the current try-hard dark ages of B-movies (The Room, Sharknado, Neil Breen movies, etc), and this may be another entry in that canon.
I'm holding out hope that they do something interesting with it. Peter Dinklage tends to make very good choices, and that's a great sign.
Also, I think it was Roger Ebert who once argued "Why remake good movies? They were fine as they were. Remake bad ones and try to make them better."
