Not a great trailer, but I enjoyed this at Soho Rep and I’m glad to see Aleshea Harris adapting her own work for the screen. And Kara Young is on a roll.

Can we stop again with the double threads and pick one and stick to it?

Can you stop policing this board like you own it? Maybe everyone didn’t see the previous thread.

A lot of the online buzz would disagree with you, but hey we all have opinions.

Why is this not a great trailer? Legit question.

It’s edited sloppily, in my opinion, almost like it doesn’t have a legit distributor (although it does). I would have preferred it kept some of the shock factor a little more under wraps, but I get it’s a hard plot to sell.

Again, I really enjoyed the original production, so I’m looking forward to it. It just felt like a fan-edit trailer more than an actual Amazon/MGM release.

So if I’ve never seen this, is it better not too watch the trailer and go in blind?

I rarely if ever feel like trailers give too much away but after a certain reveal in this trailer I thought "that feels like a lot for the trailer' so if you often feel spoiled by trailers, I'd go in blind. It did leave me wondering how much crazier it gets if they put all of that in the trailer. Excited to see it.

It gums up the entire board and makes it harder to search... and I'm not the only person who has said so!

It keeps happening because this entire board has each other blocked!

I think it's less to do with blocking and more about people increasingly needing to be the one with the scoop.

For what it’s worth, I’m never looking to “scoop”. I’m currently home on disability from work and so when not at PT, I’m mostly home on my phone. I just happen to be on when stuff pops up. It breaks up my boredom.

Or people just get excited and want to share bc this is a message board so any and everyone is allowed to share what they want, whenever they want. 

The audacity on these boards is shocking. Just because many of you have spent years of your life in discussion here doesn’t mean you own, run or dictate anything. The world is hard enough. Pick battles that matter.

Is this Kara Young's feature film debut?

"You travel alone because other people are only there to remind you how much that hook hurts that we all bit down on. Wait for that one day we can bite free and get back out there in space where we belong, sail back over water, over skies, into space, the hook finally out of our mouths and we wander back out there in space spawning to other planets never to return hurrah to earth and we'll look back and can't even see these lives here anymore. Only the taste of blood to remind us we ever existed. The earth is small. We're gone. We're dead. We're safe." -John Guare, Landscape of the Body

According to Wikipedia, yes it is…but not only that she’s also starring in I LOVE BOOSTERS directed by Boots Riley which will be out the following week.

Kara is an electric stage actor, but I have a strong feeling we’re about to see the start of a long and prolific film career.

As long as we don’t lose her completely to Hollywood, I’ll be thrilled.

I also was curious when this was filmed because I know she never stops, and it looks like it was done between October 2024 and January 2025, which tracks since it was right after TABLE 17 closed and PURPOSE opened.

BOOKED, BLESSED, and BUSY!!!!
