‘Deadpool’ Red-Band Promo: The Merc With A Mouth Teases His Own Trailer By Russ Fischer/Aug. 3, 2015 8:53 am EST This is basically the same trailer intro seen by Comic Con audiences a few weeks ago; the dialogue has been changed a bit, but otherwise it’s the same footage. Since this is basically a single shot you don’t see very much, but the tone of the teaser gets across exactly what we’re expecting from the film: a little bit odd, with some vulgar jokes and Reynolds enjoying the hell out of wearing that suit....

‘Voltron: Legendary Defender’ Trailer: Lions And Robots And Galactic Conflict, Oh My By Jacob Hall/May 12, 2016 11:00 am EST As I’ve written before, Voltron is one of those things that just escaped me when I was growing up. I have zero strong opinions on this universe and its characters, but I certainly understand the passion that so many other people feel for it. So I can only judge the new Voltron: Legendary Defender trailer as an outsider....

Reading between the lines we don’t know if the script and budget issue is delaying the film, but that’s what seems to be the case. Perhaps there was a scheduling issue for Wyatt which led to his departure....
