This Week’s Trailers: Squid Game, Presence, and Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
Let me guess, you woke up this morning feeling like your streaming queue was looking a bit dull, right? Well, hold onto your popcorn because this week has been a smorgasbord of tantalizing trailers! We’re diving straight into the most talked-about clips from the final week of October 2024. Why skip the foreplay when there’s so much excitement to unpack?
Squid Game Season 2
First off, let’s discuss the teaser that’s got everyone’s tongues wagging. Yes, you’ve guessed it—Netflix’s Squid Game Season 2. If you thought Gi-hun had his fill of dystopian nightmares, think again! The trailer dropped a couple of days ago, hinting at a gruesome, bloody return to the arena. And from what I gather, there’s an uprising brewing. Ever felt that sweet mix of dread and thrill? This trailer sure knows how to serve it! Mark your calendars for December 26th because it’s going to be a post-Christmas cracker.
Presence
For those with a penchant for spine-chilling tales, Steven Soderbergh’s Presence fits the bill perfectly. Picture this: a family, led by none other than Lucy Liu, being haunted—but here’s the twist—by their own ghostly relative’s perspective. If you’re anything like me, you’re already sold. When is the last time you watched a ghost story told by the ghost itself? It’s hitting the big screens on January 24th, 2025, and let me tell you, it’s going to be one nail-biter of a spectacle!

Star Wars: Skeleton Crew
If you’re one of those who felt a galaxy far, far away was a tad too distant, cheer up! Star Wars: Skeleton Crew is making its entrance, with Jude Law leading the voyage. The trailer promises a mix of swashbuckling adventures coupled with the vibe of classic treasures like The Goonies and Star Trek: Prodigy. Intrigued yet? I know I am! Hang tight for December 3rd when the adventure beams down to us mere mortals.
Queer
Now, for a splash of artful storytelling, Luca Guadagnino’s Queer is breaking ground. With Daniel Craig stepping into the shoes of William Lee, this film is based on William S. Burroughs’ novel. The trailer gives us a tantalizing taste of Craig’s performance and Guadagnino’s direction—a blend sure to be as trippy as it is compelling. Is there a better way to round off November than with this release on the 27th? I think not!
And the Others…
Not stopping there, we have snippets of hype from other trailers like Mario & Luigi: Brothership. While they didn’t take center stage this week, they are definitely on the radar of many a fan’s watchlist.
So here we are, with a slew of stories ready to make the end of your 2024 pop! Which one are you setting your reminders for? Personally, I’m clearing my schedule for all of them. Join me—let’s get comfy on that sofa together, and dive into these worlds one binge-worthy piece at a time!
