Get Into Mike White’s Latest Biting Satire at HBO, “White Lotus” (Teaser)

It has been quite some time since the force that was Enlightened came through and perhaps helped usher in the dramedy portion of this latest golden age of television. Mike White’s corporate and self-help satire hit such a great nerve back then (and is still so timely ten years later).

So, we’re grateful that it won’t be much longer before we get the latest Mike White series (it’s still pretty astounding that White was the teacher that Jack Black filled in for in School of Rock) and it looks like it’s going to have pretty sharp teeth that are going to sink into the absurdities of, well, rich white folks.

Jennifer Coolidge looks especially splendid here, by the way, and if Steve Zahn’s last line in this teaser doesn’t hook you, then we don’t know what else to tell you.

Give this all a watch with the first teaser for Mike White’s White Lotus here, then look for it on HBO Max starting July 11th.

Watch Red Band Trailer For Stoner Action Comedy “American Ultra”

Jesse Eisenberg and Kristen Stewart star in what might be a better feature length version of the premise to NBC’s Chuck in the upcoming stoner action comedy, American Ultra.

Watch Eisenberg recall the part where he stops running in Zombieland (along with the font from Zombieland) and takes on various covert operatives as a deep secret covert operative himself while also trying to come down from being high. 

As far as stoner/slacker action comedy goes, it seems slightly more grounded and realistic than Chuck or even Pineapple Express. Yet, it still enjoys the fun of some of the most unrealistic bullet physics since Wanted. Connie Britton and Topher Grace also seem like they’ll make memorable cameos as comedic versions of David Strathairn and Joan Allen in The Bourne Ultimatum.

See all of this for yourself in this red band trailer.

A potential record deal was going to be made at The Sundance Film Festival this year for Me and Earl and The Dying Girl as Fox Searchlight and Indian Paintbrush amongst others were in a bidding war for the movie.

For those of us not in attendance to Sundance, here’s our first look at was causing said bidding war.

Somewhere between 50/50 and the “sweded” movies of Be Kind Rewind is seemingly where Me and Earl and The Dying Girl lies according to this trailer. Also, it has Nick Offerman strangely holding cats.

That could be a winning a combo and we shall see if that’s so on it’s premiere on Jun. 12th.
