#TRAILERCHEST : Bad Times at the El Royale has everything to be an absolute cult-classic

Paul Moore

Bad Times at El Royale trailer

The cast in this is amazing.

Drew Goddard is a very busy man. Aside from directing The Cabin in the Woods, he’s also the man that’s responsible for writing The Martian, launching the brilliant Daredevil series on Netflix and he’s about to shoot the Deadpool spinoff, X-Force.

Before he gets his hands busy with the comic-book world, he’s about to unleash mayhem at the El Royale hotel and he’s not alone.

Much like the 2003 film Identity, a bunch of random strangers meet at a rundown hotel where things quickly go from bad to worse.

*With a cast that includes The Dude (Jeff Bridges), Thor (Chris Hemsworth, Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and Ron Swanson (Nick Offerman), this looks set to be an absolute riot*

Plot’s it all about?: Seven strangers, each with a secret to bury, meet at Lake Tahoe’s El Royale, a rundown hotel with a dark past. Over the course of one fateful night, everyone will have a last shot at redemption… before everything goes to hell.

Cast: Jeff Bridges, Cynthia Erivo, Dakota Johnson, Jon Hamm, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman, Nick Offerman and Chris Hemsworth.

Director: Drew Goddard.

Irish release date: October 5, 2018.

*FYI, we’re very aware that all of those lads are actors but come on, how cool does that mix of characters sound?

Enjoy!
