Today's Trailer Happy Hour has Sean Penn in space and Peter Dinklage all alone
It only Tuesday, as America’s finest news source once said, and that’s as good a reason as any to duck out of our stuffy offices and celebrate Trailer Happy Hour a little early. Hey, it’s always Trailer Happy Hour somewhere, right? Anyway, today we’ve got a sad family going through some stuff, a team pulling a heist in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, a rebellion against the upper-class, a movie that looks much spookier than the Tiffany song it’s named after, a rockin’ biopic, and Sean Penn going to space. Let’s get to it!
This trailer for What They Had makes the movie look very heavy on “the feels.” It’s about a family reconnecting to deal with their mother’s mental decline, and it stars Hilary Swank, Michael Shannon, Blythe Danner, and Robert Forster. The trailer is kind of upbeat, but this is definitely the kind of movie that’s going to get sad. It comes out in October.
Cut Throat City was directed by RZA, but there isn’t nearly as much karate in this trailer as you’d expect from him. It’s actually a heist movie set in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and it stars Shameik Moore, Wesley Snipes, T.I., Kat Graham, and Terrence Howard. It’ll be in theaters next year.
