There were some notably starry trailers this week.
Another week, another batch of movie and TV trailers to get excited over.
JOE already covered some of the major teasers to drop over the past seven days in separate articles – including for Ozark season four, Spider-Man: Far From Home and Pam and Tommy.
However, plenty of other major new trailers were released, which JOE has handily compiled for your perusal here.
Don’t Look Up
Clip via Netflix
This sci-fi black comedy centres on two astronomers (Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio) who discover a planet-killing comet is on a direct collision course with Earth. However, no one really seems to care.
Featuring the acting talents also of Cate Blanchett, Jonah Hill, Mark Rylance, Meryl Streep and Timothée Chalamet – to name just a few – Don’t Look Up could have one of the best casts of any film ever made.
The movie will be released in Irish cinemas on 10 December before debuting on Netflix on 24 December.
Meanwhile, its writer-director Adam McKay (Anchorman, Step Brothers) is coming to Dublin on 16 December to receive the Dublin International Film Festival’s Volta Award and host a special screening of the movie.

Nightmare Alley
Clip via SearchlightPictures
From visionary director Guillermo Del Toro comes this neo-noir psychological thriller about an ambitious carny (Bradley Cooper) with a talent for manipulating people who hooks up with a female psychiatrist (Cate Blanchett) who is even more dangerous than he is.
Del Toro’s last film, The Shape of Water, took home the Best Picture at the Oscars, so you can expect Nightmare Alley will be heavily discussed come the movie awards season.
It’s out in Ireland on 21 January.
Marry Me
Clip via Universal Pictures
Through a complex series of circumstances that this trailer spends nearly four minutes trying to explain, a pop star (Jennifer Lopez) winds up marrying a stranger in the crowd at one of her shows (Owen Wilson).
A rom-com featuring two of Hollywood’s most charismatic leads, Marry Me is set for a February release in Ireland.
Turning Red
Clip via Pixar
In this animated coming-of-age fantasy-comedy, a 13-year-old girl turns into a giant red panda whenever she gets too excited.
Pixar rarely disappoints and on the basis of this charming and funny trailer, Turning Red should be another fun addition to the studio’s catalogue.
It’s out in Ireland on 11 March.
Downton Abbey: A New Era
Clip via Focus Features
Downton Abbey is heading to France in the latest installment of the 20th-century set franchise which will be released in March.
Meanwhile, a teaser also dropped this week for Downton Abbey creator Julian Fellowes new HBO series The Gilded Age, starring Christine Baranski, Cynthia Nixon and Carrie Coon.
Mother/Android
Clip via Hulu
Chloë Grace Moretz is a mother-to-be fighting to survive amid a war between humans and robots.
The sci-fi film does not have an Irish release date as of yet.
That said, it’s out in the US on 17 December, so you can expect it sometime after that.
Emily in Paris
Clip via Netflix
And lastly, Netflix’s hit comedy-drama Emily in Paris returns for a second season of adventures and amour on 22 December.
