‘TRAILER PARK’

‘Project Power’ - With our First Trailer off the Park this week we have a brand new Big Budget Netflix extravaganza in ‘Project Power’! If there was a magic pill you could take that gave you 5 minutes of unlimited power, would you take it? Pfffft, of course, you would! Well, that’s what Jaime Foxx and Mitchell’s dream man, Joseph Gordon-Levitt are you against in ‘Project Power’. JGL plays a tough as nails cop and Foxx a Dad out for revenge as this pill (which allows you to unlock your unique superpower for 5 minutes) is unleashed on their streets in what seems to be a ‘trial’ or test of sorts, by some shady and very wealthy drug lords. The pill seems to be taking the streets by storm but no one mentions the other potential major effect of this pill: a serious case of dead-ness. Creeping onto Netflix like a very naked invisible man, August 14th. 

‘Hard Kill’ - Sueeeeeeeeeeee! Oh sweet baby Jesus we have ourselves EXACTLY what Trailer Park was made for with the trailer for ‘Hard Kill’! Have you been thinking to yourself ‘gosh darn, there really just isn’t enough ‘straight to on-demand’ action films nowadays!’ You have? Well great! But have you also been clamoring for said film to star the legend of the on-demand films Bruce Willis?! You have? Well fuck, clean yourself up because you’re excited! It’s time for Hard Kill! Willis stars as a rich guy who has important Tech or something and he must recruit the handsome lawnmower guy from desperate housewives to lead a team of mercenaries to protect his tech and save his kidnapped daughter from The Pardoner. An evil ex-soldier who… wants the tech? Or money? HES BAD, is what I’m saying. HOORAH! Also starring a former ‘wrestler’ in Natalie Eva Marie. Snapping onto On-Demand like a bad guys shin bone being stood on, August 28th! 

‘Ted Lasso’ - Now I know we normally don’t review ‘TV Series’ trailers here in our Trailer Park but how could I personally pass up a brand new comedy series, about sports AND starring the king of ‘punching above his weight’ Jason Sudeikis?! Here Sudeikis is playing the titular character ‘Ted Lasso’, a born and bred American who happens to be a coach of American Football. But when he takes a job over in Muffa Englund to coach ‘British Football’ (you know… soccer), the sports world is up in arms. Now he must face the challenges of being in charge of a group of Prima Donna male football stars, adjusting to a new country AND most importantly, learning how to fucking coach a sport he has ZERO experience in. Slurping onto Apple Plus like an American drinking hot brown water, August 14th. 

‘Words on Bathroom Walls’ - Well wasn’t this an unexpected treat! It looks as if Trailer Park is trying to push Mitchell’s limits this week and test whether or not they can make him cry! Here we have an ambitious Trailer called ‘Words on Bathroom Walls’. A PG-13 story about a young high school couple going through teenage problems and facing cute high school issues together. The only difference is the main character Adam suffers from intensely severe Schizophrenia. And unlike a lot of schizophrenia cases, he doesn’t just hear voices, he sees every people talk to him and sees all of his imaginings. Struggling to cope with his condition, medication and finding his way, a girl tries to get close to him but he pushes her away repeatedly. With a talented young cast and strong supporting cast including Walton Goggins, Molly Parker, and Andy Garcia, this teenage drama actually has some serious potential. Scorching into theatres like acid poured over a child’s arm, 31st of July! 

‘Tesla’ - Here we find a trailer as odd as it is riveting. ‘Tesla’ is the story of Nikola Tesla, the mysterious inventor, and engineer of the late 19th century. Ethan Hawke plays the lead role in this film first screened at Sundance earlier this year. I say this trailer is odd because I’m not entirely aware of how they’re going to tell this story, given there is a reference to G
