celeb news Is it over? Amy Adams to lose another Oscar, debuts NIGHTB*TCH trailer

[STMG23]

I am still recovering from seeing this in the awards thread so give me a little time please

 

[alexrex]

Why did she sign up for this? 

 

It looks awful ! 

[STMG23]

No No NO Recovery. This is too much!

 

[Likingstars]

This is actually better than what i expected given the source material  this looks like her best project since 2017 tbh

[Triton]

Only the worlds best paid awards show seat filler! 

[John Slayne]

i can't believe y'all said this was an oscar contender 

[Digitalism]

I called it even before watching the trailer, this was never winning based on the plot alone. Now that it's clearly a comedy it has even less chances.

sharp objects was 2018, but i genuinely don't know if she had done a single good movie since arrival/nocturnal animals

she was an it movie girlie back then, what happened to her? 

[SUNSET BLVD]

Oh nooooo. It looks T E R R I B L E.

[IBeMe]

WTF was this?!  The first minute seemed cute and i was thinking moms would love this movie and then she transforms to a dog and it loses the plot completely....do they think this will be another Everything All At Once or something?

[Bhabylon]

I need this to be campy

[SUNSET BLVD]

I hate that yall learned the word  "campy" in 2019 and now use it to describe anything bad. 💀😭

My friend went to a test screening of this and described the tone as "Black Swan meets Tully." The trailer is obviously not that, so I'm not sure if they've changed things since that screening or if this trailer is just meant to make it seem more accessible... don't think Amy is getting nominated for this either way though

to me it seems like a Young Adult (Diablo Cody) situation in which the trailer drastically misrepresented the movie. but I haven't seen it so what do I know

That's what I'm leaning towards, and what I'm hoping for because I love Marielle Heller and she always delivers in a very smart and interesting way. The source material seems very rich (even if the concept is strange) and this trailer makes it feel cheap and kinda dumb.

Oh Lamy get off the floor...

I'm only sorry Marielle Heller's involved in this mess, she's too talented for something that looks this hideous.

Is this supposed to be satire? 

This is the film adaptation of a book. I'm going to wait and see the film before giving my final judgment, but it looks like a mess based on the trailer.

 

On the plus side, I love that they used Edge of Midnight in the trailer. 

[Life Savers]

The tone? I was expecting something wildly different. Probably will miss the nom.

[Dula Peep]

Looks fun 

[Thin White Duke]

Oh, this looks appallingly ridiculous and I'm here for it.

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

Honestly, the first half didn't even look that bad. And then she turned into a dog...

Sorry you're the issue if you don't "get" this trailer. It did exactly what it intended. I saw someone on X saying that Lanthimos should have done this movie so he can give some eerie atmosphere to this….. they're so out of touch it's crazy.

 

that said yeah she's not getting Oscar or nomination from this

[Luminary]

Oh wow.. this looks bad. Amy is in desperate need of a better agent, good luck hunnie

[Velvet Night]

I read the book, and this is not what I was expecting from the trailer at all. I hope it is a bait-and-switch, and they haven't given too much away, but the tone is wildly different. The book is way more serious and dark. I really hope they didn't turn this into a wacky comedy

[fountain]

I have to echo that this is not what I was expecting either. I'll still watch the finished product, hopefully it has more of a psychological tone going on, but there's no denying this trailer is pretty awful (in kind of the best way?). If it does end up being what the trailer portrays, I hope the movie at least spawns some memes.
