The New ‘Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die’ Trailer Teases a Wacky Tech Apocalypse

Earlier right this moment, we had been graced with a brand new trailer for Gore Verbinski’s upcoming movie, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die, that actually desires us to batten down the hatches and put together for the techno apocalypse.

The trailer begins with a baby waltzing out of a doorway in the midst of winter, selecting up a VR headset, while Sam Rockwell delivers a cryptic prophecy about “shit about to go down” that he can’t put together us for. We then reduce to a sequence of flashing pictures of individuals, slack-jawed, watching their telephones like Zoomers in a movie show, prompted by a college scholar clicking a triangle on her cellphone, which tells us all we have to know: it is a flick the place know-how desires to kill us.

Before issues get too loopy, we see a haggard-looking Sam Rockwell, clearly simply having time-traveled, with the circuit board plastic go well with and tubes donned on his individual, heeding a warning to of us in a diner in regards to the apocalypse that’s to come back whereas tossing some telephones into water pitchers. Evidently, a number of the diner’s patrons—key amongst them Haley Lu Richardson, Michael Peña, Zazie Beetz, Asim Chaudhry, and Juno Temple—have an opportunity to avoid wasting humanity. Though how they’ll really obtain that or what occurs ought to they fail, Rockwell doesn’t reveal for concern of killing morale. Fair sufficient!

What follows is a mile-a-minute supercut of motion, blood, large horse hooves crushing automobiles, and creepy mechanical dolls, making the percentages that our heroes make it out alive, not to mention unscathed, go all the way down to zero. Yet, after what we will assume is a rallying speech from Rockwell to the diners about how the world is popping to shite as a result of know-how has upended our want to attach by ensuring we keep plugged into no matter headgear or doom-scrolling system that brightens our screens.

While the burning of a VR headset is intense in any context, the group of unlikely heroes are clearly out of their depth as gunfire, falling automobiles, and zombie-like swarms of individuals hound them, holding them on the again foot for a lot of the trailer. Still, Rockwell’s future-flung hero has religion that the gang can save the world. I suppose that’s why the film has that title.

As far as second trailers go, Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die actually guarantees a madcap, entertaining time. That ought to come as no shock, on condition that the film was written by Matthew Robinson, of The Invention of Lying fame. However, the movie may even function Verbinski’s first film since 2016’s A Cure For Wellness, so there’s a bit driving on whether or not the Rango and Pirates of the Caribbean director nonetheless has the juice or if we’ve acquired one other The Lone Ranger on our arms.

We’ll have to attend and see how humanity’s unlikely saviors fare when Good Luck, Have Fun, Don’t Die hits theaters on February 13.
