As I’ve touched upon the topic of the next installment in the Star Wars mythology with “Star Wars: Andor”, I’m going to say if you’ve any interest in the collected amount of posts done for the PiercingMetal Pop Culture section, you can just click HERE to see the full rundown. The series will premiere in just under two weeks and its being reported that a total of “3” episodes will be its streaming debut. With that said let’s take a look at what amounts to the second full Official Trailer down below. I’ve also kept the premise and casting from the previous installment but swapped the “Coming Soon” artwork with the “Official Release” artwork. Enjoy and oh yeah “May The Force Be With You”…

The Premise: Beginning five years before the events of “Rogue One”, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters during the time that a Rebel Alliance is forming in opposition to the Galactic Empire. One of these characters is Cassian Andor, a thief who becomes a revolutionary and eventually joins the Rebellion. (c/o Wiki).

Yesterday was the 45th Anniversary of the film that began it all and I am talking about “Star Wars”. The tale that told of of stories from “A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away”. Tomorrow the world will be able to enjoy the first two episodes of “Star Wars: Obi-Wan Kenobi” (if they subscribe to Disney+ of course) and that brings us to now with the reveal of the teaser trailer for “Star Wars: Andor”, the next series in the continuation of the “Star Wars” mythology.

The Premise:

Opening Today: “Pixels” (2015)

Though I had stated that this is not generally the kind of movie broadcast that I do, having posted the First and Second trailer, I might as well showcase the film opening date as well. I enjoyed the trailers and felt it was a less serious take on “Independence Day” if I could draw a quick comparison. As an old school Colecovision and Atari 2600 dude I have to admit I was chuckling when I saw the clips. The movie “Pixels” opens up today in theaters almost everywhere. Check out the poster, premise and the cast below. I will return with some thoughts of my own afterward.

Poster - Pixels - 2015

The Plot:
In 1982, in the hopes of establishing peaceful communication with extraterrestrial life, NASA launches a time capsule into outer space containing images and footage of Earth life and culture. However, the aliens misinterpret enclosed video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war. They attack the Earth using the games as models for their various assaults including Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Centipede, Space Invaders, Arkanoid and Tetris. Their technology creates voxels that change form and are capable of turning any form of matter into more of itself. President Will Cooper calls upon his best friend since childhood, former video game professional Sam Brenner, who is now a home theater installer and had a previous relationship with Cooper’s wife. To combat the video game characters, Brenner decides to lead a team of retrogamers Eddie Plant and Ludlow Lamonsoff to defeat the aliens with technology similar to those used in games.

It was a couple of months ago when I shared the first trailer for Sony Pictures “Pixels” and while comedies aren’t something that I normally plan on posting here on PiercingMetal, it had that 1980’s video game nostalgia which won me over. If you missed that first trailer post, you can click HERE to see it and then move onto the next level for the second trailer. I’ve added something of a bonus for you as well with some promotional posters that were a hoot. Enjoy.
