Warner Bros. ’s CinemaCon demonstration showed a first look and revealed the title for The Matrix , previewed a Dune clip , and some BTS pellet for The Batman .
Warner Bros. settled in for a CinemaCon presentation that was supposed to be an hr and a half but ended up being an hour [ shoutout to the theater employee I ply into in the lift who said when this was pointed out that we could " check the last 30 - moment on HBO Max . " ] Also , give thanks you to those that link up the Bleeding Cool liveblog for this control panel . No one lie with this before the lights go away down , but no one from Warner Bros. decide to show up . Instead , they sent a pre - recorded video , so it was like a bunch of featurettes and trailers , one right after the other . They said Warner Bros. was committed to the theatrical experience , which got some scoffs from the audience , and after some awkward back and away that was cogent evidence that understand from a teleprompter is a attainment , we moved onto the flick .
First up , we go to seeMalignant , which appeared to be a long featurette . Overall , it looked like it was most of the footage was from the initial preview . There might have been a few novel frames in there , but not very many . It ’s a movie that is likely pass away to be good becauseJames Wanis one of the well of this multiplication when it comes to horror . Next was a mini - documentary onClint Eastwoodand his next pic , Cry Macho . After that , we fuck off an extended trailer with a few new scenes separate Richard . We also catch to see the first few minutes ofThe Many Saints of Newark , but it was only about four minutes that did n’t show much .
Finally , Warner Bros. broke out one of the big guns . We convey a behind - the - scene featurette forThe Matrix 4,and then we finally drive a big reveal ; the claim forThe Matrix 4isThe Matrix : Resurrectionswith a lustrous Modern logo . We think that was going to be all , and then it rolled into a trailer . Shoutout toThe Hollywood Reporterfor help with a few of the lines I did n’t write down right during the panel . The trailer opens with Thomas Anderson ( Keanu Reeves)in therapy . He says to his healer ( Neil Patrick Harris ) that " I had dreams that were n’t just dreams . Am I crazy ? " He seems to know that something is off , and we see him taking blue pill . Thomas seems disconnected from a earthly concern that he does n’t fit in with , and the disconnect is quite literal . The human beings he is living in is much like our own , with everyone glued to their phones , and he is not . He runs into a woman ( Carrie Anne Moss ) in a umber shop , and they feel like they ’ve meet before , but they do n’t remember each other .
Eventually , Thomas gets a red pill from a occult and unknown man ( Yahya Abdul - Mateen II ) , and he remembers everything that has happened . From there , we get a lot of disjointed slam from the moving picture that seem to admit some pretty brainsick powers for Neo and lots of shots that appear like the automobile human beings . The preview had a very " soft reboot " feeling to it , but when it comes to actual narrative full stop ? This trailer gave us very little , and it does await like precisely what you would expect from another Matrix film . Warner Bros. is hold on this one VERY close to the pectus , so when can the general world expect this trailer ? Your surmise is as good as mine . They really do n’t want people to know anything about this moving-picture show .
Next , Warner Bros. highlight their only 2022 release of the presentation , and it wasThe Batman . We buy the farm into an lengthened featurette that have a net ton of behind - the - scenes footage and some of the cast talk about the movie as well . It then went intothe trailer from FanDome , which I ab initio misreported as raw because I had n’t watched the pilot in a long time . The featurette was interesting and show off some really awesome - looking footage and behind - the - scene stuff and nonsense . DirectorMatt Reevesonce again brought up Year One as brainchild for this film . Perhaps they will release the featurette and maybe some new footage at the coming DC FanDome in October .
If all this sounds like Warner Bros. kind of expend the ball compare to old years , then the last film that we underwrite would be the nail in the coffin . About a calendar month ago , IMAX hosted particular preview events forDune . We got an awing , prospicient featurette , a pocket-sized conversation betweenDenis VilleneuveandHans Zimmerabout the score , the first ten minutes of the moving picture , a clip , and then they debut the unexampled preview . It was an awesome lilliputian event that Warner Bros. and Legendary repurposed for CinemaCon only with one-half of the content . This was so obviously deliberate that the pre - recorded statements from talent look to have been pullulate on the same mean solar day .
This is not to say that any of this was unfit . The featurette Warner Bros. show is fantabulous and goes through the entire hurl blab out about the movie and the bluff telescope of everything that we will see in this film . Next , we receive a cartridge clip . Duke Atreides ( Oscar Isaac ) is out scoping a spice crawler with Paul ( Timothee Chatamet ) , Gurney Hallek ( Josh Brolin ) , and Dr. Liet - Kynes ( Sharon Duncan - Brewster ) . They are in a Carryall , the bug - wait ships that have been attend in the preview footage . The spice creeper needs to get picked up because a worm is on the means , but the aircraft carrier fails to clasp leaving the lackey and its crew of 21 dead in the water .
Duke Atreides insist they are extend to make the 21 citizenry equip in three ships that can only hold 18 citizenry . They bring down , and Paul goes out to aid say people to occur at heart . However , as soon as he steps onto Arrakis , he clearly becomes overwhelmed . He fall to one articulatio genus to look at the space in his deal . Paul call for people to come into the ships , but he is blast with a face full of sand , and the effects of the spice seem to be impacting him . He is discover voice and collapses on the George Sand in front of the nightcrawler as the insect approaches . Gurney realizes that Paul is miss and drags him back to the ship . They slip up as the sand begins to thrill from the dirt ball . They contend to get onto the ship , and we catch as a worm easy consumes the massive crawler . Warner Bros. ended the clip there and then play the trailer was also free a small over a month ago .
The fact that Warner Bros. did n’t even bother to show up is a trivial insulting considering the tension between exhibitor , and Warner Bros. is fairly high decent now because of the HBO Max decision , and one would call up they would have least come out to reassure everyone that it is still only something that is go to happen for the rest of 2021 . Instead , we got a comment from Andrew Cripps , Warner Bros ' International president say , " WatchingGodzilla vs. Kongon your iPad does n’t have the same impact as going to the movies , " which was about as secretive as anyone come to addressing the elephant in the room . Instead , they used the word " controversial choice " were used . Warner Bros. closed out their presentation nearly 30 - minutes early with almost nothing about the 2022 slating . We ’ll have to see how Universal and NEON go later today . Be sure to determine out our liveblogs and continuing coverage of CinemaCon .
