Trailer Talk: July 2025
The summer is not only known for its Blockbuster movie releases, but also for the number of trailers that are announced. So, I’ve compiled a few that arrived this month, starting with Disney/Pixar’s latest original film.
‘Hoppers’ has been rumoured for a long time, so it’s exciting to finally see the idea come to light. Directed by Daniel Chong (Creator of ‘We Bare Bears’), it follows two scientists as they discover a way to ‘hop’ human consciousness into life-like robotic animals. It not only looks adorable, but the art style resembles that of Daniel Chong’s previous work. Plus, it’s a delight to see another original film from Pixar after the beautiful ‘Elio’.
Another delight is a big screen appearance from Spongebob Squarepants in ‘The Search For Squarepants’. This will mark the first time in 5 years that the animated sponge will appear in cinemas, and it looks like a lot of fun. While the show’s art style still won’t be transferred to the film, ‘Search for Squarepants’ tone and gags are reminiscent of earlier seasons.
From animated originals to more video game adaptations, starting with an unexpected one: ‘Exit 8’.
This is based on a 2023 Japanese indie game about spotting anomalies in a subway tunnel and was an unexpected surprise. While the premise is fantastic, it’ll be interesting to see how the film adaptation will stretch it out to 90 minutes or more, considering that the game’s runtime can either be 10 minutes or 2 hours depending on how you play. The film also stands out due to it being the first video game adaptation to be shown at Cannes Film Festival.
However, one video game adaptation that’ll probably never be shown at that festival ‘Mortal Kombat 2’. This is the long-awaited sequel to the enjoyable 2021 predecessor of the same name. While it’s only a teaser, fans are finally introduced to Johnny Cage, played by Karl Urban (Amazon’s The Boys), and he’s a fantastic casting choice.
And, finally, this month’s Trailer Talk ends with another video game adaptation sequel, this time based on a pizzeria: ‘Five Nights At Freddys 2’. While the teaser released 3 months ago only showed small details, this one reveals some of the plot as well as a better look at Mangle, the Toy animatronics, Marionette’s music box and even two of the Withered animatronics, both of which look terrifying! With the Blumhouse promise that the sequel will be scary, it’s starting to look like they’re keeping that promise.
