Viewer Match
- Best for: Anyone who loved Once Upon a Time in… Hollywood and wanted more of Pitt’s stuntman, and fans of Fincher’s colder crime films.
- Maybe skip if: Profanity and screen violence put you off; this trailer has plenty of both.
- Trailer mood: Laid-back and funny for a minute, then quietly menacing.
- Why it stands out: Tarantino’s words in Fincher’s hands, with Pitt returning to the role that won him an Oscar.
Our Cliff Booth Trailer Drop covered the basics. This second trailer is really a sales pitch for the plot. It is 1977, and Cliff is doing odd jobs and dangerous favours around Los Angeles when an agent called Karen Crosby tracks him down on behalf of an actor called Charlie Peters. Charlie does his own stunts, so what does he want with Cliff? The trailer keeps asking that question: Cliff is “too tall” and “too handsome” to double him, the meeting turns into a briefcase full of cash, and the pitch for a television series about a famous actor, his stunt double and some Filipino gangsters sounds a lot like a cover story. The Bruce Lee fight from the first film gets a knowing mention, and so does Rick Dalton, who “got too fat” for Cliff to double. It is the most Tarantino-sounding footage yet, cut with Fincher’s precision. It also lands after a difficult few weeks for the release, with two big US chains refusing to show it in IMAX, as our Morning News of 31 October reported, and the trailer passed 11 million views on Netflix’s channel in three days.
Movieversalfilm radar note: The first trailer set the mood; this one finally gives the film a mystery, and it is the best reason yet to book an IMAX seat rather than wait for Christmas on Netflix.
Godzilla Minus Zero — Official Trailer 3
- Official trailer/channel: Godzilla Official by Toho (uploaded Thursday 5 November 2026)
- Format: Kaiju drama film; Official Trailer 3, 1 minute
- Release: In cinemas, including IMAX, now
- Writer, director and VFX: Takashi Yamazaki
- Principal cast: Ryunosuke Kamiki, Minami Hamabe, Yuki Yamada and Kuranosuke Sasaki
- Certificate and runtime: 15 (UK); 135 minutes; Japanese with English subtitles
- Where to watch in the UK: In UK cinemas, including IMAX, since Friday 6 November 2026 (Anime Limited)
Viewer Match
- Best for: Anyone who saw Godzilla Minus One and has been waiting for the follow-up, and anyone who wants a blockbuster with real emotion in it.
- Maybe skip if: You prefer the Hollywood MonsterVerse films; this is a Japanese-language drama first and a monster film second.
- Trailer mood: Urgent and fearful, with the sense that time is running out.
- Why it stands out: It is a short, punchy reminder of a film that has just broken records on both sides of the Pacific.
This is a “now playing” trailer, released as the film reached UK and US cinemas, and at one minute it is the shortest on this week’s list. It does not need to explain much. Toho’s pitch is simple: war reduced Japan to zero, Godzilla plunged it into minus, and now, two years later, “there is no third time”. The trailer leans on scale and on IMAX, and with good reason, because this is the first Japanese production to be filmed for IMAX. It has also become the week’s biggest box-office story. As our Evening News of 8 November reported, Godzilla Minus Zero took $31.6 million in North America, the biggest opening there for a live-action foreign-language film, and $63 million worldwide. Our Godzilla Minus Zero Super Review found Takashi Yamazaki back on thunderous form, and the trailer passed six million views in four days.
Movieversalfilm radar note: It is less a trailer than a victory lap, but if you have not seen the film yet, it is a reminder that this one needs the biggest screen you can find.
Yellowjackets Season 4 — Official Trailer
- Official trailer/channel: Paramount+ (uploaded Thursday 5 November 2026)
- Format: Psychological horror drama series, fourth and final season; official trailer, 2 minutes 2 seconds
- Release: Final season premieres on Friday 20 November 2026
- Creators and showrunners: Ashley Lyle and Bart Nickerson
- Principal cast: Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Tawny Cypress, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Sophie Thatcher, Samantha Hanratty, Courtney Eaton, Liv Hewson and Hilary Swank
- Where to watch in the UK: Paramount+, from Friday 20 November 2026
Viewer Match
- Best for: Fans who have stuck with the survivors since 2021 and want to know how it all ends.
- Maybe skip if: You have not caught up on the first three seasons; the trailer assumes you know who did what in the woods.
- Trailer mood: Tense and mournful, with flashes of screaming panic.
- Why it stands out: It is the last push for one of TV’s most talked-about horror dramas, and it finally brings the teenagers home.
October’s teaser, which we covered in our Evening News of 15 October, showed the girls home at last. This full trailer, also in our Yellowjackets Trailer Drop, shows what that homecoming costs. The rescued teenagers are told they are not just heroes but survivors, but the trailer keeps cutting from press conferences and family reunions to people who cannot hide what they have been through. “People think that we’re crazy,” one says, while someone begs their mother for the truth and a reporter asks what they all experienced out there. The closing line, “We survived because of love”, is followed by a question: “Isn’t it ironic?” That sums up the series. Guest stars for the last run include June Squibb, Elijah Wood, Molly Ringwald, Devon Sawa and Dulé Hill.
Movieversalfilm radar note: A trailer for people who already know the secrets, and a promise that the final season will be about living with them rather than surviving the wilderness.
The Gallerist — Official Trailer
- Official trailer/channel: RoadsideFlix (uploaded Thursday 5 November 2026)
- Format: Dark comedy film; official trailer, 2 minutes 33 seconds
- Release: In US cinemas from Friday 4 December 2026 (Roadside Attractions and Vertical)
- Director: Cathy Yan, who co-wrote it with James Pedersen
- Principal cast: Natalie Portman, Jenna Ortega, Sterling K. Brown, Daniel Brühl, Charli XCX, Zach Galifianakis, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Catherine Zeta-Jones
- Where to watch in the UK: UK date not yet confirmed
Viewer Match
- Best for: Anyone who enjoys a satire of the rich and the art world, in the spirit of Triangle of Sadness or The Menu.
- Maybe skip if: Jokes about corpses are not your idea of fun.
- Trailer mood: Bright, brittle and increasingly frantic.
- Why it stands out: Natalie Portman playing broad comedy, with a body at the centre of an art show.
Our Gallerist Trailer Drop set out the plot: a Miami gallery owner, broke and newly separated, passes off an accidental corpse as the centrepiece of her Art Basel debut. The trailer is funnier than that sounds. Portman plays Polina as a woman one bad review from ruin (“You only get one art opening”), and the jokes come from people failing to notice there is a dead man in the room. “No one noticed that he’s dead,” someone says, before the obvious question: “What if we keep him?” The best line comes when the panic sets in: they are not heading for an art-world prison “made out of toothpicks” but “real life forever prison”. Cathy Yan made Birds of Prey, and she brings the same colourful, chaotic energy here.
Movieversalfilm radar note: The strongest pure comedy pitch of the week, and a reminder that Portman is at her best when she is allowed to be ridiculous.
Lords of War — Official Teaser #1
- Official trailer/channel: Vertical (uploaded Wednesday 4 November 2026)
- Format: Crime thriller film; official teaser, 43 seconds
- Release: In US cinemas from Friday 22 January 2027 (Vertical)
- Writer and director: Andrew Niccol
- Principal cast: Nicolas Cage, Bill Skarsgård, Laura Harrier, Sylvia Hoeks and Greg Tarzan Davis
- Where to watch in the UK: UK date not yet confirmed
Viewer Match
- Best for: Fans of the 2005 Lord of War and anyone who enjoys Cage in full intensity.
- Maybe skip if: You have no memory of the first film; the teaser relies on it.
- Trailer mood: Violent and bullet-riddled.
- Why it stands out: Cage returns as Yuri Orlov 20 years on, and his rival is the son he never knew he had.
Our Lords of War Trailer Drop explained the set-up: Yuri Orlov discovers that a ruthless mercenary, played by Bill Skarsgård, is building a private army and wants to destroy everything he has built. At 43 seconds the teaser is a first taste rather than a full trailer, and Vertical’s pitch is all about the rivalry: a “blood-soaked and bullet-riddled battle to the death”. Cage is the only main cast member back from the first film, and Skarsgård has had a busy week, saying he was never asked to test for James Bond, as our Evening News of 8 November reported. The teaser has passed 1.7 million views on Vertical’s channel, a strong start for a January thriller.
Movieversalfilm radar note: Only a taste, but the casting does the selling: Cage against Skarsgård is a match-up with plenty of potential.
Movieversalfilm Trailer of the Week
The Further Mis-Adventures of Cliff Booth takes the verdict. Godzilla Minus Zero has the bigger week at the box office and Yellowjackets the bigger farewell, but no other trailer had to do as much. With only a two-week IMAX run before it streams, Netflix needs people to buy tickets now, and this trailer gives them a reason: a story with a hook, Tarantino’s dialogue and Pitt clearly enjoying himself. Whether Fincher and Tarantino make a good match is a question for 25 November, but on this evidence the signs are promising.
Which of this week’s five trailers has earned the first place on your watchlist: Cliff Booth, Godzilla Minus Zero, Yellowjackets, The Gallerist or Lords of War? Tell us below.
