There were also trailers for a new horror from the studio behind Hereditary and a thriller from the director of the Ocean’s Trilogy.
Welcome back to JOE’s weekly trailer column where we cover some of the best movie and TV teasers to be released over the past seven days.
In separate articles, we already covered newly dropped footage for Netflix’s true crime documentary The Tinder Swindler and the gritty remake of ’90s sitcom The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
However, plenty of other notable trailers came out in the last week which we’ve compiled for you below.
Jackass Forever

After 12 years, the Jackass crew – along with Eric André – are back for more outrageous pranks and stunts, the latter including bullfights, electrocutions, explosions, snakes and tarantulas.
For devotees of the franchise, the movie is set for an Irish release on 4 February.

On top of playing Catwoman this year in The Batman, Zoë Kravitz will star in this new thriller from Steven Soderbergh, the director behind a number of acclaimed movies, including Contagion, Out of Sight and the Ocean’s Trilogy.
Set during the Covid pandemic in Seattle, Kimi centres on an agoraphobic tech worker (Kravitz) who discovers evidence of a violent crime while reviewing a data stream and is met with resistance and bureaucracy when she tries reporting it to her company.
Looking like a timely, techno-riff on a Hitchcockian thriller, Kimi will be released in the US on 10 February and will get a digital release in Ireland sometime after.
X

Film distribution and production company A24 has been involved with some of the best horror movies of the last few years including but not limited to Hereditary, Midsommar and The Witch.
Its hot streak in the genre looks set to continue with X, a new chiller from writer-director Ti West (The House of the Devil).
Set seemingly in the 70s or 80s, it centres on a film crew (including Jenna Ortega, Mia Goth and Scott Mescudi) who arrive at a secluded farmhouse in Texas to shoot an adult film but wind up in a scary situation.
Based on the stylish trailer, horror fans should be excited for X, which people can expect to come out in Ireland sometime after its US release on 18 March.
The Bob’s Burgers Movie
