This is a community for posting and sharing trailers and teasers for upcoming film, television and video game premieres. The goal is to provide subscribers a curated feed of trailers for UPCOMING media. General-purpose posts about movies, television and games are better suited for other communities around the Lemmyverse. This place is just for trailers.

Rules

All posts must be trailers or teasers; not full movies, not trailers for trailers, and not clips of popular scenes. Meta posts from mod staff are OK, but should be kept to a minimum.
No fan-made trailers or remixes.
Trailers for upcoming content only. Do not spam the community with trailers for media that has already been released.
Link to official channels for trailers whenever possible (ie: the YouTube accounts of each film's studio or distribution company); avoid linking to videos from media outlets that function as aggregators / re-posters if you can.
Post titles should follow formatting guidelines: "Media Name (release year, relevant creator credit)". Creator credits should be directors for films and games, showrunners for television series. Other details such as starring actors, writers, production studios, etc can be added to the post description.

I have to say that I'm really skeptical of what I'm seeing here.

The trailer seems to be painting a narrative of a trans person having a road trip with their movie star friend (and a film crew) and learn that the American heartland isn't as awful as they'd feared and that all her shit is internalized (see: "I'm not really afraid of these people ... I'm afraid of hating myself."). I really hope there's more to it than that.

I'm midwestern and trans. I know so so so many people who would be pleasant and congenial to my face, then turn right around and vote to take away my health care and civil rights without a second thought (or even imagining that they were being two-faced).

I really hope this trailer is a bait-and-switch; something to get trans-skeptical folks in the door under the guise of reinforcing notions they already had, then pulling the rug out with a more nuanced story.
