Time again to look at our recent trailer updates.

The Sonic movie franchise got off to a really bad start with that infamous (now pulled) trailer with the ugly Sonic, but since the redesign, it has gone from strength and strength and the third movie looks like great fun too. Luckily, the trailer has been well received as well, which is always a good sign.

Not as well received was the teaser trailer for A Minecraft Movie. It was always going to be hard to adapt a game like Minecraft, but the "Borderlands" fiasco shows that even easier to adapt games are hard if you don't take the fandom seriously (except for all that toxic stuff, which should be ignored).

Speaking of pulled trailers and poor receptions, the Megalopolis trailer finally dropped following the fake quotes scandal - the movie has divided critics, and for all of its ambition, it may be just too ambitious for a movie that wants to make money.

Halloween is just around the corner, so it means some nice horror trailers for movies released before then, or trailers for future movies that will be running in front of these Halloween themed films. 

Apartment 7A is a prequel to "Rosemary's Baby", and while it isn't coming to theaters (only to Paramount+), it's still one that's appropriately timed for the Halloween audience. 

The full trailer for Smile 2, the sequel to the surprise 2022 hit, is another Halloween timed trailer, along with the second trailer for Never Let Go.

House of Spoils seems very interesting to me - combining the cooking elements of shows like "The Bear" and "Boiling Point" (both are intense and scary, for non horror reasons) with your typical Blumhouse twist. Bagman is your more traditional "monster in the closet" deal, and Lionsgate will hope this movie will have a lot more success than the recent fare.

And while the fascinating Nightbitch is to be released well after Halloween, I'm sure its trailer will be showing in front of the above movies, along with the teaser trailer for Wolf Man (unless the full trailer is released before then, which is a possibility).

Other notable trailer releases includes Nickel Boys, The Fire Inside, and The Superboys of Malegaon.
