'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!

Still independent.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. 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, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up 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.
