‘Bando Stone & The New World’ Trailer – Donald Glover Fights to Survive in Post-Apocalyptic Sci-Fi Comedy

Published

Bando Stone

Childish Gambino may be able to sing, but he’s ill-equipped to survive a post-apocalyptic world in the new trailer for Bando Stone & The New World, a brand new sci-fi comedy from director/star Donald Glover.

The mysterious new trailer doesn’t include a release date or official synopsis, but it does reveal that the upcoming comedy features the original motion picture soundtrack by Childish Gambino.

Look for the new track “LITHONIA” to release tomorrow, where more insight about Bando Stone could potentially be revealed. 

The trailer below highlights actor/producer/director Donald Glover as Bando Stone, a former pop star unprepared for all the strange encounters, from angry animals to dinosaurs to bizarre laser formations. Jessica Allain also stars, and her character in the trailer sets up some of the rules as she explains that they can only move about the tropical island setting at night as, as her son, played by Glover’s eldest son, Legend, adds, “that’s when everything comes out.”

“A little creepy, but that’s fine, Brand Stone retorts.

The trailer debuted last night at the BET Awards ceremony.

An official instagram account for Bando Stone includes a  mysterious map that seems to feature Manhattan’s Little Island, New York. That the film credits Evi Wilder as the screenwriter only deepens the mystery further, as the writer has no previous film credits listed.

Bando Stone & The New World was produced by RCA Records and Childish Gambino through Glover’s new production company, Gilga and marks Glover’s first feature film directorial debut. The multi-hyphenate talent has helmed multiple episodes of beloved series “Atlanta.”

Could this all be an elaborate concept feature to accompany the album’s release? Possibly. But it looks like a ton of fun.

Neve Campbell Says ‘Scream 7’ Will Focus On Sidney Prescott’s Story

Published

on

It’s been a few months since we’ve gotten an official update on Scream 7, but one thing we do know for certain is that Neve Campbell will be back as Sidney Prescott this time around.

And according to Campbell, the upcoming seventh installment will be a return to the franchise’s roots in the sense that Sidney Prescott will be the central character of the movie.

We are going to follow Sidney,” Campbell confirms to ET Online this week.

“They did pitch the concept to me, and it’s the reason that I jumped on board,” Campbell adds. “I love these movies, they are so much fun to be a part of. I’m so grateful for them; I could never have imagined being a part of a movie that would have lasted this many decades.”

Sidney was featured as a supporting character in 2022’s Scream, while Campbell infamously did not return for the following year’s Scream VI due to a pay dispute. Those two movies, both directed by the filmmakers Radio Silence (Abigail), mixed a new generation of characters with the legacy characters, but much has happened since Scream VI released last year.

The franchise has been mired in controversy in the past several months, with new series leads Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega both exiting the project. Barrera was fired, while it was subsequently announced that Ortega wouldn’t be returning. At this time, we still don’t know if Jasmin Savoy Brown or Mason Gooding will be returning for Scream 7.

Original Scream scribe Kevin Williamson will DIRECT the upcoming Scream 7, with franchise mainstay Courteney Cox expected to also return as heroine Gale Weathers.

The upcoming Scream 7, which is currently untitled, was written by Guy Busick from a story by James Vanderbilt & Guy Busick. Stay tuned for more on the film as we learn it.
