Wanted Angelina Jolie Trailer
Jens Loco
Well, if it's up to Angie, you won't find out until the movie officially hits theaters on November 13. "I wanted to suggest and guide and give hints to the audience but not bore them or reveal all before the film itself," she tells Entertainment Weekly of the self-directed project. "I like trailers that don't explain the whole film; that tell you exactly what to expect." Rather, look for hints below:
Update, 10/20: What happens when you combine an extended trailer, bloopers, and takes from behind the camera: a series of clips that don't make sense but still convince you that Brad and Angelina's film By the Sea will be nothing short of amazing.
The first trailer for By the Sea is here, and while it stars both Jolie and mustachioed Brad Pitt, they're nothing like they are IRL. They cry. They write in the bathtub. They hit each other. And where are Maddox and Pax and Zahara and Shiloh and Vivienne and Knox? DON'T THEY GO EVERYWHERE TOGETHER ALL THE TIME?
But then she was all like, "Yeah, not doing that again," so we know not even the most professional, movie-starriest movie stars of our time are immune to emotional carry-over ."We're proud of ourselves for being brave enough to try it," she said. "I think By the Sea was the hardest film for me because it wasn't [issue-driven]. It's something I probably won't do very much of."
Original story, 1/29: How's that for a role reversal (in more ways than one)? According to The Wrap, Brad Pitt is in negotiations to star in Angelina Jolie's upcoming drama Africa, in which he could logically play an evil ivory poacher or a famous conservationist who stands up to evil ivory poachers.
This is the second time the couple has worked together since 2005's Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Sadly, there won't be any super-spy hanky panky this time around, just like there won't be in this year's By the Sea, which Jolie directs and stars in alongside her Oscar-winner husband.
Chelsea Peng is a writer and editor who was formerly the assistant editor at Marie Claire. She's also worked for The Strategist and Refinery29, and is a graduate of Northwestern University. On her tombstone, she would like a GIF of herself that's better than the one that already exists on the Internet and a free fro-yo machine. Besides frozen dairy products, she's into pirates, carbs, Balzac, and snacking so hard she has to go lie down.
The first trailer for The Light Between Oceans Has Arrived, a movie starring Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander, and Rachel Weisz that frankly looks exactly how Angelina Jolie probably wanted By the Sea to look. Sorry, Angie. You tried your best, but this movie looks really good.
In the movie, Alicia Vikander and Michael Fassbender live in some beautiful seaside town and are married. They are not, as I initially assumed, a father and a daughter, despite how staggeringly large their age difference appears to be. They're ten years apart in real life, but Vikander has the smooth, beautiful complexion of a nineteen-year-old girl and Fassbender has the weathered, handsome face of every leading dude in a romance novel. But I digress.
A baby Moses-es herself into their life (literally washes up on shore) and they raise it as their own! But then it turns out that a very very sad Rachel Weisz is probably the true mother of the baby, as she lost her husband and daughter at sea. What ensues is gut-wrenching even in the trailer, as the question of who really is the mother of the baby is challenged. Yikes!
Eternals is a 2021 American superhero film based on the Marvel Comics race of the same name. Produced by Marvel Studios and distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures, it is the 26th film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). The film was directed by Chlo Zhao, who wrote the screenplay with Patrick Burleigh, Ryan Firpo, and Kaz Firpo. It stars an ensemble cast including Gemma Chan, Richard Madden, Kumail Nanjiani, Lia McHugh, Brian Tyree Henry, Lauren Ridloff, Barry Keoghan, Don Lee, Kit Harington, Salma Hayek, and Angelina Jolie. In the film, the Eternals, immortal alien beings, emerge from hiding after thousands of years to protect Earth from their ancient counterparts, the Deviants.
In April 2018, Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige announced that a film based on the Eternals was in development and would explore the group as ancient aliens living throughout human history. Ryan and Kaz Firpo were hired to write the script, and Zhao was set to direct in September. She was given significant creative freedom to rewrite the script, taking particular inspiration from Terrence Malick's films, and to use more locations and natural lighting than previous MCU films had. Casting began in early 2019 and Burleigh joined to work on the script ahead of principal photography, which took place from July 2019 to February 2020 at Pinewood Studios and on location in England and the Canary Islands.
Eternals premiered at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, on October 18, 2021, and was released in the United States on November 5 as part of Phase Four of the MCU. The film grossed $402 million worldwide and received some awards and nominations, but it also became the first MCU film to not receive generally positive reviews. Particular criticism went to the screenplay and pacing, with commentators feeling it did not live up to Zhao's previous work or to previous MCU films. It received some praise for its themes and visuals.
In the present, Sersi and Sprite live together in London. After Sersi's partner Ikaris left her without explanation centuries earlier, she is now in a relationship with human Dane Whitman who works at the Natural History Museum. When the trio is attacked by the Deviant Kro, Ikaris arrives and chases the creature away. The three Eternals travel to South Dakota to reunite with their leader, Ajak, only to find her dead. Sersi is posthumously chosen by Ajak as her successor, granting her the ability to communicate with Arishem.
Sersi learns that the Eternals' mission was actually to prepare Earth for the Emergence of a new Celestial. Arishem explains that, for millions of years, he has been planting Celestial seeds inside planets where the energy from large populations allows new Celestials to be born. The Deviants were sent to destroy the apex predators of each planet to ensure the development of intelligent life, but when they evolved and began hunting the planets' native populations, Arishem created the Eternals to counter them. With the recent end of the Blip restoring Earth's population,[b] humankind has reached the necessary size to allow the Celestial Tiamut to be born, which will result in Earth's destruction.
Hoping to delay the Emergence, the Eternals reunite. At Druig's residence in the Amazon rainforest, they are attacked by the Deviants. They kill them all except for Kro, who kills Gilgamesh before fleeing. Phastos proposes they use the Uni-Mind, a connection between all the Eternals that would give Druig enough power to put Tiamut to sleep with his mind-control abilities. However, Ikaris is loyal to Arishem and refuses to help stop the Emergence. He reveals that Ajak wanted to stop the Emergence and save humanity, so he led her to the Deviants and allowed them to kill her. Sprite joins Ikaris due to her unrequited love for him while Kingo chooses to leave.
Makkari locates the place of the Emergence, an active volcano in the Indian Ocean, where Ikaris and Sprite attempt to stop them. Druig knocks out Sprite, and Phastos restrains Ikaris. Kro arrives and is killed by Thena. Druig is unable to put Tiamut to sleep, and Sersi instead attempts to turn him into marble. Ikaris breaks free of his restraints and goes to kill Sersi, but is unable to due to his love for her. Both he and Sprite join with the others in the Uni-Mind, and Sersi gains enough power to turn Tiamut into marble. Guilt-ridden, Ikaris flies into the Sun. Sersi uses the remaining Uni-Mind energy to turn Sprite into a human, ending her permanent childlike state.
Thena, Druig, and Makkari depart on the Domo to warn Eternals on other planets of the Emergences. Whitman professes his love for Sersi and is about to reveal a secret about his family history when she, Phastos, and Kingo are lifted into space by Arishem. Displeased with their treason, Arishem says he will spare humanity if the Eternals' memories show that humans are worthy of living. He vows to return for judgment and takes the trio into a singularity.
In a mid-credits scene, Thena, Makkari, and Druig meet the Eternal Eros and his assistant Pip the Troll. In a post-credits scene, an unseen person[c] questions whether Whitman is ready to wield the Ebony Blade.
Additionally, Bill Skarsgrd provides the voice of Kro, one of the Deviants,[21] and David Kaye voices the Celestial Arishem.[22] Harish Patel appears as Karun Patel, Kingo's human valet;[23] Haaz Sleiman and Esai Daniel Cross respectively portray Phastos's husband Ben and son Jack;[24] and Zain Al Rafeea plays a villager who comes across the Eternals when they first arrive on Earth.[25] Harry Styles appears in the mid-credits scene as Eros / Starfox, the brother of MCU character Thanos, while Patton Oswalt voices Eros's assistant Pip the Troll.[26] Mahershala Ali has an uncredited voice-only cameo as Blade in the post-credits scene ahead of starring in his own film.[7]
In April 2015, Marvel Television was working with screenwriter John Ridley to craft a new television series for ABC, "reinventing" an existing Marvel character or property,[27] which was revealed years later to be the Eternals.[28] Through its development, which ultimately had eventually been abandoned during the folding of Marvel Television in December 2019,[29][28] Ridley stated that he was trying to make a superhero television series that viewers had not necessarily seen before, with hopes that it could occupy "a space that [was] not currently being filled" by Marvel.[30] His approach to the characters would have been "a really weird story", though he stated the characters are "a really hard property" to adapt while conceding that while he believed his series would have been good it may not have been entertaining for everyone.[28]
