February is on the horizon, which means we’re getting closer to all those new movies and shows we’ve been waiting for. Expect new trailers to come at us fast and furious in the coming months.
For instance, the final trailer for Uncharted hit this week. Based off the popular video game series from Naughty Dog studios, Uncharted is can be comfortably compared to Indiana Jones and National Treasure. Tom Holland stars as Nathan Drake, a wise-cracking treasure hunter who gets taken under the wing seasoned adventurer Victor “Sully” Sullivan (Mark Wahlberg). Together, the two set off on a race to discover Magellan’s lost gold before the murderous Moncada (Antonia Banderas) gets it first. Check it out:
Movies based on video games have long had a reputation for being lacking, but with studios pouring more resources into these projects every year, we could see that expectation flipped on its head. Uncharted looks like it’s both fun and faithful to the style and tone of the games. That shot of Holland hanging out the back of a cargo jet in mid-flight is straight out of Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception. And the fight across two dangling pirate ships feels pretty on brand for the games’ gravity-defying set pieces.
Uncharted also stars Sophia Ali as Drake’s ally Chloe Frazer and Tati Gabrielle as Braddock, Moncada’s lieutenant. It’s due out exclusively in theaters on February 18.
Space Force season 2 trailer
We also got a trailer for Space Force season 2. Starring Steve Carell as General Naird, this Netflix show riffs off former president Donald Trump’s real life announcement that he would be forming a “Space Force” branch of the military by asking: what would that actually look like?
According to Netflix, pretty damn ridiculous. Carell brings some of the same charm he wielded so effectively on The Office to the show, with John Malkovich (Dr. Adrian Mallory) serving as the brains of the Space Force operation. Season 1 had mishap after mishap as General Naird attempted to get his new division of the government up and running, but was hamstrung both by ineffectual orders and pressure from “POTUS” as well as the general nebulousness of Space Force’s mission. Season 2 looks like more of the same.
Space Force also stars Ben Schwartz (Parks & Recreation), Diana Silvers (Booksmart), Tawny Newsome (Star Trek: Lower Decks), Jimmy O. Yang (Silicon Valley), and Don Lake (Zootopia). This season will also see an appearance from Patton Oswalt, as seen in the trailer.
Space Force season 2 premieres on Netflix on February 18, the same day that Uncharted hits theaters.
