HBO drops a trailer for the Deadwood movie, and more
By Corey Smith
As we bide our time waiting for the Battle of Winterfell this Sunday on Game of Thrones, distraction is key, and thankfully we’ve got a bevy of trailers to keep us company. First up, and the one I’m personally looking forward to, is the trailer for HBO’s Deadwood movie. Naturally, and delightfully, it is NSFW.
Calling it now: if someone doesn’t blast now-Senator George Hearst (Gerald Lee McRaney) in two, I’ll be disappointed. Deadwood: The Movie drops May 31, the day before I drop my HBO subscription.

In far lighter fare, check out the trailer for Men in Black: International, starring Chris Hemsworth, Tessa Thompson, and Liam Neeson.
Looks appropriately goofy for the fourth installment of the franchise originally headlined by Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones. Men in Black: International lands in theaters June 14.
Next up, we have a pair of DC Universe entries, the first being the James Wan-produced Swamp Thing series, which will air on DC Universe (the streaming service) May 31.
Looks spooky, and just about as well lit as recent episodes of Game of Thrones. The comic book basis for the series had a strong occult tilt, as the titular Swamp Thing defends Earth from supernatural threats.
Finally, ever wondered why Alfred Pennyworth, Batman’s butler, always sounded like such a badass who could fix everything from the security system to the Batmobile even though his duties mostly consisted of doing Bruce Wayne’s laundry and making him tea? Well, EPIX has a series for you. Starring Jack Bannon, Pennyworth will explore Alfred’s life decades before the caped crusader came calling with a show set in 1960s London:
If it doesn’t tell me why a former SAS Officer would want to fetch the paper for a billionaire playboy, then consider it a failure. Pennyworth debuts on the premium cable network July 28.
And that’s all, folks! Hopefully it bought you a few moments of peace as you wait nervously for Sunday.
