'Mama' Trailer Released

Posted byBy Kim Burnell | Published on: | Updated on June 29, 2013 CommentsComments (0)

The new Spanish trailer for Guillermo Del Toro’s Mama has been released. This horror flick stars Jessica Chastain (The Help) as Annabel and Nikolaj Coster-Waldau (Game of Thrones) as Lucas.  Chastain and Coster-Waldau play a young couple receive custody of Lucas’s nieces after they are found alone in the woods, where they have been living as feral children for 5 years. The couple tries to assimilate the young girls into society, however soon find out they weren’t really living alone. As you can probably guess by the movies’ title, “Mama” is the  sinister creature that has been “raising” the girls and it doesn’t seem like she wants to give them up.

I have to say, I’m really amped on this film. First things first, Guillermo Del Toro is a boss. Pan’s Labyrinth is easily one of the most chillingly beautiful movies of all time (with a fantastic soundtrack, might I add). Del Toro also helped write the screenplay for the much anticipated The Hobbit trilogy. Don’t get me wrong, he doesn’t have a perfect record , Hellboy and Hellboy II are really nothing to brag about. Regardless of a few interesting choices, the man has proven he can help make a damn good movie. I personally think he’s about  to prove that he can also make a damn good horror movie.

I am finding it a little hard to imagine Jessica Chastain as a convincing goth, I just keep thinking of her in Alexander McQueen at the Oscars last year, as seen here. On the other hand, it should be fun to see Nikolaj Coster-Waldau play a role other than Jamie Lannister, for once we won’t have to hate him!

Hopefully Mama proves it’s worth the hype and revealing the monster won’t leave us laughing. Check out the trailer below!

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
