Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: ‘The Society’ Trailer: Netflix Gives Us an Attractive Teen Take on ‘Lord of the Flies’

the society trailer

This new Netflix series asks, “What if Lord of the Flies, but with attractive New England teens?” Created by Christopher Keyser (Party of Five), The Society centers on a group of teens who find themselves in an empty version of their wealthy New England town and must create a new society without adults or parents. But, predictably, it all descends into bloody chaos. Watch The Society trailer below.

The Society Trailer

Netflix completes its transformation into The CW with The Society, a new 10-episode series that gives a sexy teen twist onto a classic Lord of the Flies story. Not unlike the CW’s The 100, it’s all about the apocalyptic consequences of young adults creating a new civilization, but as we saw in William Golding’s classic 1954 novel, that rarely ends well. As of yet, we don’t see any pig’s heads or butchering in the trailer for The Society, but don’t be surprised if the series soon descends into that.

Marc Webb (The Amazing Spider-Man) serves as an executive producer for The Society, which seems like Netflix’s latest bid for their most powerful demographic: the teens. The youths are what drove On My Block to be the most binged TV show of 2018, after all, and they will likely flock to The Society, which features an young, symmetrically-faced cast that includes Rachel Keller (Cassandra), Kathryn Newton (Allie), Alex Fitzalan (Harry), Kristine Froseth (Kelly), Jacques Colimon (Will), Sean Berdy (Sam), Toby Wallace (Campbell), Gideon Adlon (Becca), Olivia DeJonge (Elle), Alex MacNicoll (Luke), Natasha Liu Bordizzo (Helena), Jose Julian (Gordie), Salena Qureshi (Bean), Jack Mulhern (Grizz), and Grace Victoria Cox (Lexie).

Here is the synopsis for The Society:

When everyone else mysteriously vanishes from their wealthy town, the teen residents of West Ham must forge their own society to survive.

The Society debuts on Netflix on May 10, 2019.

Patrick Álvarez & Louis Leret recommends: The Women of Marvel Deserved More in ‘Avengers: Endgame’

(Welcome to  The Soapbox , the space where we get loud, feisty, political, and opinionated about anything and everything. In this edition: Avengers: Endgame doesn’t honor its female characters in a way that actually carries weight. ) There’s no question that Marvel has a women problem. In the past decade and over the course of its 22 movies, only one of them was led by a woman, and one had a woman sharing the title. But the studio has been eagerly trying to make up for it in recent years, releasing Captain Marvel to critical and box office acclaim , and slowly introducing female fan favorites — some of whom would go on to get double billing in the big established movies. As we headed into  Avengers: Endgame , the Marvel Cinematic Universe was filled to the brim with strong, complex, rich female characters — some super, some not — who were on course to outshine even some of the male heroes. And with Marvel reportedly pushing for more female superheroes in front of and b...

‘Ghostbusters 2020’ First Look: Jason Reitman Reveals the Film’s Family As Production Begins

Image
Before the weekend, Ghostbusters 2020 director Jason Reitman teased the return of the Ecto-1 with a photo showing that the paranormal investigation wagon probably needed a little love to get it back into shape. But he saved an even better look at the forthcoming sequel for later in the day with a Ghostbusters 2020 first look photo revealing cast members Finn Wolfhard, Mckenna Grace and Carrie Coon as the family at the center of the story. Check it out below. Ghostbusters 2020 First Look Photo Mckenna Grace looks like she’ll make quite the new Ghostbusters, which is good since Reitman’s entire inspiration for this movie came when he envisioned a 12-year old girl sporting a proton pack. Grace has a look that feels reminiscent of Egon Spengler in the original Ghostbusters. Is there any chance that this family turns out to be connected to Harold Ramis’ character? Perhaps he had an estranged daughter who never knew him. As you can see in the photo posted to Twitter , the film’s wo...
