Netflix Drops Trailer For Scandalous Season 2 Of “Elite”

by

Stop what you are doing! Netflix just announced the release date of the second season of our favorite new Spanish series, “Elite” for September 6th. We left off season 1 finding out who killed Marina… but there is so much more drama left to unfold behind the students at Las Encinas. To give us a taste of what’s to come, Netflix even paired the announcement with this heart-pumping trailer.

If you haven’t seen the first season yet, head’s up because this includes some serious SPOILERS.

What “Elite” Season Two Trailer Reveals

After viewing the new “Elite” trailer, we honestly don’t learn a whole lot *sigh* about the case of Marina’s assassin. We left off season one with Nano being locked up after he was wrongfully accused of killing Marina. He was jailed due to a testimony from his own brother, Samuel, who in season two we see vows to get Nano out of prison, “no matter the cost.”

However, this seems to be just a drop in the bucket for the amount of drama that will ensue. The tension is clearly evident among Polo, Carla and Christian, who are hiding the dirty, naughty secret of the real events of the murder. Will one of them slip up and reveal the truth?

“Lies tie us together. Lies tear us apart.”

The motto for the second season of “Elite” is “Lies tie us together. Lies tear us apart.” These two lines perfectly describe the deception that we previously saw among the students at Las Encinas. The stormy tensions created among friends (and enemies) are sure to only increase with this second season.

The bigger question is, will the students investigate into the truth? We can only predict that Guzmán, left depressed from the death of his sister, will dig deeper into finding the real killer. The ending of the trailer hints at this, as Guzmán faces Polo with a dark look in his eyes and ominously says, “Secrets don’t stay secrets for very long, do they?”

New Students For “Elite”

While the trailer is filled with lots of action and drama, no real questions are solved from last season. However, we do get a glimpse at a few new members of the cast, who seem to have pivotal importance. Only time will tell if our answers will be solved on September 6th!

The New “Cats” Trailer Is The Creepiest Thing We’ve Seen

by

There was a lot of anticipation surrounding the new musical film production of “Cats” given big names like Taylor Swift, James Corden and Jason Derulo are part of the starring performers. However, the latest trailer released by Universal this week has instantly turned off many people from the possibility of going to see the movie when it releases in December. The reason? It’s downright creepy.

A Historic Success

The problem isn’t the storyline. In fact, “Cats” is based on a Tony-Award winning musical composed by Andrew Lloyd Webber. It was one of the longest running shows on Broadway at 18 years and its songs have been referenced in other films and productions, such as the famous audition scene in “School of Rock.”

Where The New “Cats” Went Wrong

With a killer cast and world-class dancers, the movie was set to be a hit. Until… the trailer came out. Instead of using the classic costumes worn in the Broadway version, the director Tom Hooper decided to try a CGI alternative. The result was creepy digital fur that made the human actors look like like were from another planet. 

A Lack Of Pawsitivity On Twitter

People were quick to share their critical responses on Twitter, noting for example the absurd uncomfortable feeling we have seeing naked, yet not naked people-cats running around everywhere.

Sexist Depictions Of The Cats?

Some criticized that this “nude” version that mimicked the bodies of their human actors actually made them look overtly sexual. Part of this is due to the nature of the musical itself. It does have sexual themes (you can infer, we ARE talking cats here). And yet, Hooper’s version goes one step further. And viewers couldn’t help but notice that this was primarily seen only in the female cats…

Size Matters

Others were more upset at the logistical aspects of the film, such as the miniature size of the “cats.”

Musical Or Horror Film?

The best take might be from Ian Abramson, who paired the “Us”  music to the “Cats” trailer. Jordan Peele even retweeted the creation in agreement, as it truly evokes the uneasiness we all were feeling.

The movie doesn’t release until December, so only time will tell if this musical film will end up being a box office hit or a serious fur pas.
