Trailer Watch: Which film will you stream this weekend?

Cinemas might be closed, but there are other ways to watch. Here are a few options.

EVERY THURSDAY EVENING, we bring you three trailers for films that are due out in the cinema that weekend.

But with cinemas closed because of the coronavirus, here are three trailers for films you can catch on streaming services online.

The Half of It

Netflix / YouTube

Ellie, a straight-A student, is hired by a jock to help a popular girl fall for him. Only Ellie ends up falling for the girl too.

The Lovebirds 

Netflix / YouTube

Kumail Nanjiani and Issa Rae play a couple who unwittingly get involved in a criminal event when a man hijacks their car and kills a man. 

Take Me Somewhere Nice

International Film Festival Rotterdam / YouTube

This did well in festivals in 2019, and now you can watch the film on the streaming service Mubi. It’s a road movie about a Bosnian-Dutch girl who goes to explore her country of origin on a trip back to Bosnia to visit her father.

Which one would you go see first?

    I adored Buffy, still do to be honest. A reboot would be very difficult to achieve, not least because Whedon isn’t going to be involved (nor should he be).

    If it happens, I’ll watch but no way it will ever be as good as the first series. Which still (mostly) still stands up.

    It will flop, a remade knight rider might work, it’s one of few programs you could use all todays modern technologies.
