"Floyd's out there slicing people up with a sword!" Lionsgate has revealed the official trailer for Freaky Tales, an anthology film set in Oakland in the late 1980s. This first premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival a whole year ago, to mostly mixed & positive reviews (I was there at the world premiere - it was a blast). It's finally getting an official theatrical release in April this spring after a long wait. From directors Anna Boden & Ryan Fleck, four interconnected stories set in 1987 in Oakland, California will tell about the love of music, movies, people, places, and memories beyond our knowable universe. The full cast features Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Normani, Dominique Thorne, Jack Champion, Ji-young Yoo, Angus Cloud, and Tom Hanks (yep!). One segment is about a group of partygoers fighting back against neo-Nazi punks, another is about a basketball player getting revenge after a robbery, and one other segment is about a debt collector played by Pascal. They're all way more badass & edgy than expected, with some unforgettable moments throughout. I definitely recommend catching up with this when it opens. // Continue Reading ›
