Jay Kelly

We open on Jay Kelly (George Clooney) looking at his reflection in the mirror while repeating his name. Jay is a famous actor living the life, but a young girl tells him he always just plays himself. Jay and his manager Ron (Adam Sandler) are on a journey of truth and self-discovery while inside an industry of make-believe. This teaser keeps the story moving and the music flowing—with seamless stops for jokes. Ron asks, “Are you running to something or from something?” Jay deadpans, “Yes.” Find out what they uncover when this film arrives in select theaters on Nov. 14 and streams in December.

This creepy teaser starts with disturbing music underneath a wide shot of a house in the distance as a man slowly approaches across the snow-covered lawn. Next, we see a man digging up a corpse.

At one point, the ghost of Ed’s mother reprimands, “You’re going too fast!” When Ed (Charlie Hunnam) apologizes, his mom says, “Take your time, sweet boy.” It ends with Ed’s horrific reveal: He’s wearing a face he created from dead bodies.

Wuthering Heights
Warner Bros.
Trailer Agency: Wild Card Creative Group
Editor: Luke Porst

This sexy teaser begins with a close-up of Catherine (Margot Robbie) daydreaming about Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi ). Charlie XCX’s music accompanies images of a shirtless Heathcliff, with Catherine’s fingers in his mouth. The lyrics, “Fall in love again and again” help drive a montage that propels the characters through space and time. It ends with Heathcliff asking if Catherine wants him to stop. She replies with a breathy “no.” This modern re-imagining from writer/director Emerald Fennell will break hearts in theaters on Valentine’s Day.

Christy

Christy Martin (Sydney Sweeney), a boxer on the rise, meets with Don King when this sharply-edited trailer begins. Working hard to become world champion, Christy is proud of who she’s become. But the competition is getting tougher and her husband (Ben Foster) treats her like a punching bag. Christy explains, “I spent half my life hiding. That’s my house. My things. That’s my dream.” Based on true events, Christy Martin’s story is one of resilience and courage. Find out if she survives when this opens in theaters on Nov. 7.
