It\u2019s the first week of December, and the end of the year is coming in fast and with a lot to look forward to at theaters this month. That very cool-looking Lord of the Rings<\/em> anime<\/a> hits US theaters on the 13th; Sonic the Hedgehog 3<\/a> follows on the 20th; and I\u2019m deeply excited to see Nosferatu<\/em><\/a> on December 25th. (If you\u2019re not with me on that last one, give Matt Zoller Seitz\u2019s RogerEbert.com review<\/a> of it a read and get back to me.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n While I\u2019m waiting to go be unnerved by Robert Eggers\u2019 new spooky vampire movie, let\u2019s take a look at some good trailers from the last week. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n I\u2019ll admit that the biggest appeal for me about this straight-to-streaming spy movie spinoff of Star Trek: Discovery<\/em> is Michelle Yeoh as Emperor Philippa Georgiou. She\u2019s just having so much fun<\/em> in this trailer. The trailers haven\u2019t revealed yet what threat she\u2019ll be facing, other than being forced to do teamwork, but it seems like it\u2019ll be pretty heavy on the rag-tag team of antiheroes action thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Olatunde Osunsanmi-directed movie also stars Omari Hardwick, Kacey Rohl, Sven Ruygrok, Humberly Gonzalez, Rob Kazinsky, and Sam Richardson. It premieres on Paramount Plus starting January 24th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n I was late to the Severance <\/em>party, having finally finished it a few months ago, so I can only imagine how eager people who saw its cliffhanger ending have been to see the story continue. Well, the second season of creator Dan Erickson\u2019s bizarro sci-fi drama is almost here, and it looks like it\u2019s probably going to bring answers, with even more mystery heaped on top of it. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n All of the first season\u2019s main characters, including Mark (Adam Scott), Dylan (Zach Cherry), Helly (Britt Lower), and Irving (John Turturro) are returning, and they\u2019ll be joined by characters played by the likes of Alia Shawkat, Gwendoline Christie, and Bob Balaban. Season two of Severance<\/em> premieres January 17th on Apple TV Plus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The third season of Invincible<\/em> will see a stronger, older Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun) tell off GDA director Cecil Stedman (Walton Goggins) and episodes that show creator Robert Kirkman hopes will each feel like a finale. And there\u2019s no season break this time around.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The show debuts with three episodes February 6th on Amazon Prime, with new episodes releasing every Thursday after until March 13th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The Wheel of Time<\/em> continues its retelling of the Robert Jordan fantasy epic on March 13th next year. In its third season, the show follows Joshua Stradowski\u2019s Rand al\u2019Thor \u2014 the \u201cDragon Reborn\u201d \u2014 and Moiraine Damodred (Rosamund Pike) as they go into the Aiel Waste. It\u2019s been more than two decades since I read the book series, so I couldn\u2019t spoil what happens there for you if I wanted to, but I seem to recall this was a fairly dark time in the series. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Who knows what evil is in The Gorge<\/em>\u2019s, uh, gorge, but it\u2019s apparently contained well enough that humanity only needs two snipers \u2014 who aren\u2019t allowed to interact with each other \u2014 stationed on either side of it to make sure it stays there. The snipers, Levi (Miles Teller) and Drasa (Anya Taylor-Joy), do <\/em>interact and fall for eachother, then end up in the gorge. Oops! <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Scott Derrickson directs the movie, which also stars Sigourney Weaver, Sope Dirisu, and William Houston. It premieres February 14th on Apple TV Plus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Giant robot anime fans rejoice: there\u2019s a new Mobile Suit Gundam<\/em> coming next year. It\u2019s called Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX<\/em><\/a>, <\/em>and it\u2019s produced by Khara, the studio behind the Rebuild of Evangelion<\/em> films.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The weird name references a Gundam called the gMS-\u03a9 GQuuuuuuX. The show will follow a highschooler \u2014 named Yuzuriha \u201cMachu\u201d Amate (Tomoyo Kurosawa) \u2014 who learns to co-pilot the building-sized, sword-wielding robot with pilot Shuji Ito (Shimba Tsuchiya). Some of its episodes will head to Japanese theaters on January 17th.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nMobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX<\/a><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
