This would be cool if true.

 

[Mandon Knight]

What is with this guy and heads....

Probably just a coincidence, but still:

Nah, Dani is a brunette in the script, this was changed later, I was surprised to see Florence's look in the movie

[Black Narcissus]

A bunch of crazy white folks running around and a random brotha in there. My mans better get out!

I'll read the script later.

 

[Boom]

Let me know what you think. Spoiler-free that is.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Damn, that was one warped trailer. Got me pumped.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm sure this will be a very normal, not at all emotionally scarring film.

[Boom]

Oh it's the guy from The Good Place!

And yeah, that is definitely the look of a man who knows he's ****ed.

 

[Pennywise]

Chidi!!!!

 

[C Prometheus]

Probably the film I'm most excited to see this year, aside from potentially Robert Eggers' The Lighthouse. This trailer looks insane.

 

[Sawyer]

The bright, vibrant color palette is going to make all the inevitable Good Place memes/comparisons even better.

 

[Black Narcissus]

Finished reading the script:

Well, this had a whole lot more humor than I was anticipating or some of them lines were just funny to me, I don't know if that is on purpose or not. This will depend on Florence Pugh being the mvp, and I have no reason to doubt she won't deliver, especially the last scene. This has a better ending than Hereditary imo. This has a lot of Wicker Man plot tho, that isn't a bad thing, but some of this stuff we've all seen before. This would be redflags for any black character tho! Ya'll know what I damn mean. I also got some Suspiria vibes. I like the over all story a lot more here than Hereditary, but can't say this is better, but still pretty good.

 

[Persona]

I decided to read the first 20 pages (not going to read any more) and your assessment seems on point. Seems like pretty standard genre fare--much moreso than Hereditary before the horror tropes took that one over--but it's entertaining/engaging enough. Aster's descriptions are cool, you can tell he's more of a visual thinker than dialogue writer, and just as something really cool started to happen I decided to stop reading.

And though I didn't get official confirmation it definitely seems like Chidi ain't long for this world.

Loved Hereditary. Should I read the script or wait until I can see it on opening day?

 

[The Shape]

Wait. Go in fresh.

 

[Kane52630]

As long as it's better than Hereditary, this should be good.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Oh yes. HELL YES. This looks amazing. Loved Hereditary and this looks great two.

Also, Florence Pugh is really getting around! I remember like, a year ago, all I knew her from was that "Leading Lady Parts" Funny or Die video and now she's everywhere. Not complaining though; she's super talented and gorgeous.

Read most of the script last night and I hope the execution is better than what's on the page--especially when it comes to character decisions and dialogue. But I think my biggest pet peeve was the ending. Again, I hope this 2017 script was an early draft and Ari learned from the success of Hereditary to not follow conventional horror tropes.

I definitely got some Suspiria vibes too, but the overall story doesn't seem to have the depth that Hereditary brought. But again, this could come across very differently on screen.
