It was another wild week in entertainment marketing! We explored the true philosophical nature of dogs. We learned there is life outside of the Westworld park. And we took a trip to the Manson Family farm. Just another week in Hollywood.

Here’s a look back at some of the notable trailers and posters we saw this week.

Angel Has Fallen

Always Be My Maybe

In the trailer for this Netflix comedy, we meet a celebrity chef, played by Ali Wong, who is forced to return home to San Francisco. Upon her return, she is reunited with her first love.

The Art of Racing in the Rain

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood

• Sony Pictures
Agency: Buddha Jones
Poster Agency: BLT Communications

Quentin Tarentino is back with his ninth film, and this time he’s written a love letter to Hollywood. In the new trailer, we get a clearer picture of the plotline. It’s Hollywood in 1969, the end of cinema’s golden era. Fading star Rick Dalton (Leonardo DiCaprio) and his stunt double Cliff Booth (Brad Pitt) are trying to make it big. The fairy tale turns dark when Rick discovers his new neighbor Sharon Tate (Margot Robbie), and soon the Manson Family follows. One thing’s for sure—it’s gonna be wild. It’s Tarantino. Also, check out the posters for Rick Dalton’s spaghetti westerns. Kudos to you, Sony. I’m loving this campaign. July 26 can’t come soon enough. 

Westworld

Agency: BOND

As if HBO weren’t already winning the internet last weekend with the Game of Thrones series finale, they decided to drop the teaser for Season 3 of Westworld. The teaser, brilliantly told from the perspective of a new character played by Aaron Paul, gives a glimpse of life outside the park and raises lots of questions. Guess what, folks? We have to wait until 2020 for answers. Until then … enjoy the tease.
