Watch the new official trailer for The Walking Dead: Dead City, which follows Maggie and Negan as they head into zombie infested Manhattan.

Following the previous teaser trailer, the official full trailer has now been released for The Walking Dead: Dead City, and things look to get dangerously messy in Manhattan for duo, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

The show’s official synopsis states “Dead City follows Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.”

What does the Trailer reveal?

A quick preview shows Maggie saying “We gotta find a way outta here”, before it cuts to a horde of zombies in the streets at night, followed by a scene with a totally disgusting mutated walker that appears to have multiple arms.

Once the full trailer begins, Negan is heard asking “so, you want to tell me where the hell we are going”, Maggie replies “Manhattan” as she’s shown piloting a small boat towards the city with Negan and one other person.

We then see an epic birds-eye shot of some Manhattan ruins, with the streets full of decaying cars, and buildings. Then it cuts to Negan who says “Can you at least tell me what the hell you are doing out here”, Maggie tells him “a few weeks back, I got raided” before it cuts to Herschel being kidnapped, Negan replies “They took your kid”.

Cue a thrilling montage of scenes, including one with 1000s of zombies outside a city building. We also see some shots of the new enigmatic leader The Croat, who is responsible for kidnapping Maggie’s son Herschel. It cuts back to Negan who asks Maggie, how he figures in all this and she tells him that he knows the man who took Herschel. Negan is seen smiling asking Maggie “You need me?”. The Croat is also shown telling a woman “Negan is on the island”.

We also see Maggie and Negan meet a new group of survivors, who also appear to be not too keen on The Croat. The duo come face-to-face with members who appear to have some makeshift weapons. The two are told, “you get on the island, you don’t get off”, we then see another epic shot of the zombie horde outside the building with some explosions in the crowd. Negan is seen using a zip-line, landing and then is at Maggie’s throat, suggesting that tensions between the two still exist.

Smart Variants?

Most interesting of all is two of the zombies that feature in the trailer. One appears to consist of multiple walkers, and scuttles along the floor before rising up; the second appears to move quick and leaps down from a ledge on to a rooftop, and the manner in which it leaps forward almost looks like it was doing parkour, and when it lands it steadies itself. So, we may be in for some ‘smart’ zombies, which would really make things interesting. A city as large and populous as Manhattan is sure to have some ‘smart’ variants, and it would make things much more tense for the duo as they try to complete their rescue mission. The first ‘crawler’ could be man made; perhaps The Croat and his crew are creating some dangerous variants of their own.

Cast

Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprise their roles as Maggie Greene and Negan Smith. Eli Jorné is the showrunner and Lauren Cohan is also serving as executive producer. Gaius Charles (Friday Night Lights, Grey’s Anatomy) is cast as devoted family man Perlie Armstrong and Željko Ivanek (Damages) stars as antagonist The Croat. Maggie’s son Hershel has been recast with Logan Kim (via Comicbook.com). Other new cast members include Jonathan Higginbotham (The Blacklist) as Tommaso, Michael Anthony (The Game) as Luther, and Trey Santiago-Hudson (New Amsterdam) as Jano.

Walking Dead: Dead City is premiering June 18th on AMC and AMC+ and will consist of 6 episodes.

Watch the new teaser trailer for The Walking Dead: Dead City, which follows Maggie and Negan as they head into a decaying Manhattan on a recuse mission.

Following the previous teaser trailer, a new one has been released for The Walking Dead: Dead City, and things look to get complicated for arch-rivals turned allies, Maggie (Lauren Cohan) and Negan (Jeffrey Dean Morgan).

The show’s official synopsis states “Dead City follows Maggie and Negan traveling into a post-apocalyptic Manhattan long ago cut off from the mainland. The crumbling city is filled with the dead and denizens who have made New York City their own world full of anarchy, danger, beauty, and terror.”

The exciting teaser starts off with what looks like Negan with a young girl Ginny (Mahina Napoleon) in tow fleeing along the side of a building, with a blue truck in pursuit. The trailer then cuts to Negan and Maggie about to engage in a fight. Negan is seen swinging a crowbar at Maggie, which she blocks, with the two literally at each other’s throats, Maggie says “Thought you’re better on your feet”, and Negan replies with a grin “good to see you, too”.

In a series of cut scenes, Negan tells Maggie “You don’t trust me. Hell, I wouldn’t trust me either,” and we see a wanted poster held up with the likeness that belongs to the former leader of the Saviours. Negan is heard asking Maggie “so, you want to tell me where the hell we are going”, to which she replies “Manhattan”, as we see a boat approach the zombie infested decaying metropolis at night. Maggie says. “I have a plan”.

Followed by another series of fast cut scenes, showing Maggie and Negan approaching a decaying building, then the duo trapped above on an overhead structure with lots of walkers below reaching up, and another scene with what appears to be an octagon, with walkers ambling around the outside.

It is unclear if the show will feature any ‘smart walkers’, but there was talk of some terrifyingly disgusting walkers in this spin-off, with the new trailer showing a skeletal-looking walker on the attack.

The tone of the trailer suggests that Maggie and Negan still have a complicated relationship, and there will likely be tense moments between the two as old wounds resurface. In the original series, Negan brutally murdered Maggie’s husband, Glenn Rhee, who was also the father of Hershel Rhee, who the duo are heading to Manhattan to rescue. Hershel has been kidnapped by a group of people lead by an enigmatic new character called The Croat (via Comicbook.com).

Lauren Cohan and Jeffrey Dean Morgan reprise their roles as Maggie Greene and Negan Smith. Eli Jorné is the showrunner and Lauren Cohan is also serving as executive producer. Gaius Charles (Friday Night Lights, Grey’s Anatomy) is cast as devoted family man Perlie Armstrong and Željko Ivanek (Damages) stars as antagonist The Croat. Maggie’s son Hershel has been recast with Logan Kim (via Comicbook.com). Other new cast members include Jonathan Higginbotham (The Blacklist) as Tommaso, Michael Anthony (The Game) as Luther, and Trey Santiago-Hudson (New Amsterdam) as Jano.

The official trailer for Insidious: The Red Door is here. Check out the new trailer for the latest instalment to the hit horror franchise.

The latest instalment to the Insidious franchise, titled Insidious: The Red Door is set to be released this year. The film was initially set to be released under a different name, Insidious: Fear the Dark, but it was announced in March this year that it would be titled Insidious: The Red Door.

Insidious: The Red Door will be directed by Patrick Wilson, who also stars as Josh Lambert in the film series; this will be Wilson’s directorial debut from a screenplay written by Scott Teems, and based on a story by Leigh Whannell. The film is produced by Jason Blum (Blumhouse Productions), Oren Peli, James Wan and Leigh Whannell, with Steven Schneider, Ryan Turek, and Brian Kavanaugh Jones serving as executive producers.

Wilson said in a statement back in 2020 –

“I’m honoured and thrilled to be at the helm of the next ‘Insidious’ instalment, which will provide an amazing chance to unpack everything the Lamberts went through a decade ago, as well as deal with the consequences of their choices,”. Wilson continued “Directing the movie is both professionally and personally a full circle moment for me, and I am extremely grateful to be entrusted in continuing to tell this frightening and haunting story. Into the further we go…” (via Variety)

Plot

The official synopsis for the film is:

“Set ten years after the end of previous first two films, Josh Lambert heads east to drop his son Dalton off at an idyllic, ivy-covered university. However, Dalton’s college dream becomes a nightmare when the repressed demons of his past suddenly return to haunt them both” – Sony Pictures Releasing

Cast

The original cast return with Patrick Wilson and Rose Byrne as the Lamberts. Ty Simpkins reprises his role as a now college age Dalton Lambert. Andrew Astor also returns as Foster Lambert. Also starring is Sinclair Daniel, Peter Dager and Hiam Abbass.

The Insidious Franchise

The first two films, Insidious (2010) and Insidious: Chapter 2 (2013) centred on a young family, whose eldest son Dalton enters a comatose state and becomes a vessel for demons from another dimension called The Further. The third film Insidious: Chapter 3 (2015), a prequel, was writer Leigh Whannel’s directorial debut; it focuses on demonologist Elise Rainier, who helped the Lamberts in the first two films, and in this third instalment she helps a new family who become haunted. The fourth film, a second prequel, Insidious: The Last Key focuses on Elise Rainier’s own family and when they become haunted.

The Insidious film series has been a commercial box office success earning a total of $542 million, on a combined budget of $26 million.

There was a discussion about a possible crossover between Insidious and Sinister during an interview that Jason Blum did with CinePop (via Comicbook.com).

“I hope so, I want to. We almost did ‘Insidious’ and ‘Sinister’ and I still feel like we might do that, so I think so. I think we’re going to cross our worlds at some point. I don’t know how yet, but we’re going to try.”

Sinister (2012) was a box office success making $87.7 million on a budget of $3 million, with the film being rated as one of the scariest films made (Broadband Choices via Screen Rant). A sequel Sinister 2 was released in 2015, but was less successful both critically and commercially. However, a crossover between these two terrifying franchises would be big draw for audiences.

Insidious: The Red Door is scheduled to be released on July 7, 2023.
