      Time is running out in the teaser trailer for The Life of Chuck, the forthcoming adaptation of Stephen King's 2020 short story. Tom Hiddleston plays Charles "Chuck" Krantz, the main character at the heart of the narrative. The film is structured into three chapters presented in reverse order. In the teaser, Chuck, an ordinary individual, strolls down the street. When the scene shifts to Chuck smiling, it quickly transitions to younger versions of him. A voiceover resonates, "The universe is vast and full of multitudes, but it also holds me," before the teaser concludes.

      In addition to Hiddleston, the cast features Chiwetel Ejiofor, Annalise Basso, Benjamin Pajak, Karen Gillan, Mia Sara, Matthew Lillard, Carl Lumbly, Samantha Sloyan, Harvey Guillén, Jacob Tremblay, Kate Siegel, and Mark Hamill. Nick Offerman serves as the narrator of the film. Horror expert Mike Flanagan is the writer and director of The Life of Chuck, and he produces alongside his frequent collaborator Trevor Macy from Intrepid Pictures.

      Flanagan has a history of adapting King's works, having previously worked on Gerald’s Game and Doctor Sleep. He is set to adapt two more of King’s novels—The Dark Tower and Carrie—for television on Amazon MGM Studios. While both Flanagan and King are primarily recognized for their horror contributions, The Life of Chuck represents a different narrative from their usual repertoire.

      The Life of Chuck made its debut at the 2024 Toronto International Film Festival, where it gained the People’s Choice Award. Neon, the distributor behind the recent Best Picture winner Anora, will bring Flanagan’s film to audiences. The Life of Chuck is scheduled to be released in theaters on June 6, 2025.

      The teaser trailer for Alien: Earth reveals that the xenomorph is making its way to our planet. Traditionally associated with humans battling these aliens in space, this installment shifts the conflict to Earth. The official teaser shows a xenomorph hastily running in a ship aimed directly at Earth, colliding with a glass window that offers fans a glimpse of its sizeable head. The tagline "We were safer in space" suggests that the xenomorph will wreak havoc on humanity.

      In terms of human response, a team of tactical soldiers led by Wendy, portrayed by Sydney Chandler, is sent to investigate the crash. The synopsis states, "With this new threat unleashed, the search crew must fight for survival, and their choices regarding this discovery could alter planet Earth as they know it."

      The cast of Alien: Earth includes Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Moe Bar-El. The events of Alien: Earth are set in 2120, occurring two years prior to Ridley Scott's Alien and approximately 30 years after Prometheus.

      In the teaser for Happy Face, Dennis Quaid portrays a notorious serial killer in this upcoming crime drama for Paramount+. Happy Face is based on the real story of Melissa G. Moore, played by Annaleigh Ashford. As a teenager, Moore learns that her father (Quaid) is the Happy Face serial killer. After her father is imprisoned, Moore changes her name to distance herself from her family's infamous reputation. Years later, she must confront her father when an innocent man is wrongfully sentenced to death for a crime he committed.

      "Every violent act is a stone thrown into water," Ashford states in the trailer. "If you remain silent, the ripples of trauma keep dragging everyone they affect beneath." Moore's narrative is the foundation of the Happy Face podcast and her autobiography, Shattered Silence.

      Zero Day's teaser trailer presents a life-threatening cyberattack shaking the nation in the upcoming limited series set to debut on Netflix in 2025. "3,402 people died on Zero Day," states Robert De Niro's character, President George Mullen, at the teaser's start. As the former president, Mullen is tasked with heading the Zero Day Commission, a specialized task force formed to investigate the catastrophic cyberattack that claimed thousands of lives. He struggles to separate the truth from deception in a landscape filled with misinformation. With the nation in turmoil, Mullen attempts to regain control, yet his newly uncovered truths jeopardize everything he once represented.
