‘Bando Stone & The New World’ Trailer – Donald Glover Fights to Survive in Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Comedy
Childish Gambino may be able to sing, but he’s ill-equipped to survive a post-apocalyptic world in the new trailer for Bando Stone & The New World, a brand new sci-fi comedy from director/star Donald Glover.
The mysterious new trailer doesn’t include a release date or official synopsis, but it does reveal that the upcoming comedy features the original motion picture soundtrack by Childish Gambino.
Look for the new track “LITHONIA” to release tomorrow, where more insight about Bando Stone could potentially be revealed.
The trailer below highlights actor/producer/director Donald Glover as Bando Stone, a former pop star unprepared for all the strange encounters, from angry animals to dinosaurs to bizarre laser formations. Jessica Allain also stars, and her character in the trailer sets up some of the rules as she explains that they can only move about the tropical island setting at night as, as her son, played by Glover’s eldest son, Legend, adds, “that’s when everything comes out.”
“A little creepy, but that’s fine,“ Brand Stone retorts.
The trailer debuted last night at the BET Awards ceremony.
An official instagram account for Bando Stone includes a mysterious map that seems to feature Manhattan’s Little Island, New York. That the film credits Evi Wilder as the screenwriter only deepens the mystery further, as the writer has no previous film credits listed.
Bando Stone & The New World was produced by RCA Records and Childish Gambino through Glover’s new production company, Gilga and marks Glover’s first feature film directorial debut. The multi-hyphenate talent has helmed multiple episodes of beloved series “Atlanta.”
Could this all be an elaborate concept feature to accompany the album’s release? Possibly. But it looks like a ton of fun.
The second half of the year is loaded with hotly anticipated horrors including Alien: Romulus, director Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) sequel to the original horror classic that takes place between the events of Alien and Aliens. The film is set on the Renaissance research station, and Total Film has shared three brand new images of the human crew this week.
Meet the crew by checking out Total Film’s exclusive images below.
Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters on August 16.
In Romulus, “While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
Alien: Romulus is based on characters created by Dan O’Bannon and Ronald Shusett.
