Trailer Tuesday: a Star Wars triple threat, Lion King and Anna
16.4.2019
Translation: Patrik Stainbrook
Trailer Tuesday is your guide to the best trailers of the past week. This time: trigger-happy models, fratricide and lion-themed nostalgia, all rounded off by three different spins on «Star Wars».
French director Luc Besson is offering up «Anna», another signature action movie with a strong female lead and a complete disregard for taboos. Jon Favreau is attempting to create a faithful adaptation of a Disney classic with «The Lion King». And finally, «Star Wars Celebration» gave us three new trailer premieres to mercilessly pick apart.
Anna
Anna (Sasha Luss) isn’t just one of Paris’ biggest models, she’s also a contract killer working for the KGB. Which is exactly why she’s being targeted by the CIA. Director Luc Besson is back! After «Lucy», he’s bringing out another movie with a strong female lead with enough firepower and skill to even make John Wick jealous. Along for the ride are experienced actors such as Luke Evans, Cillian Murphy and Helen Mirren.
Release date in Swiss cinemas: 21/6/2019
The Lion King
Release date in Swiss cinemas: 18/7/2019
Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Star Wars: The Clone Wars, season 7
Start date: Unknown, but the earliest date is 14/11/2019, Disney Plus’ release date.
Star Wars: The Mandalorian
I can’t find a better quality video, but it definitely serves its purpose: actor Pedro Pascal will slip into the role of the titular Mandalorian. He’s a gunslinger, a hero and a mercenary. He decides to spare and protect a child he was originally contracted to kill. The eight-part miniseries details their growing relationship, similar to «Leon the Professional».
Start date: 14/11/2019

Luca.Fontana@digitecgalaxus.chI write about technology as if it were cinema, and about films as if they were real life. Between bits and blockbusters, I’m after stories that move people, not just generate clicks. And yes – sometimes I listen to film scores louder than I probably should.
