Final Destination: Bloodlines teaser trailer: Welcome back, death
A skull has a chain hanging from its nose in Final Destination Bloodlines.

After a 14-year hiatus, the Final Destination franchise returns for a new chapter, Final Destination: Bloodlines, which promises to be as deadly as ever.

Warner Bros. has released the first teaser trailer for Final Destination: Bloodlines. The two-minute clip quickly reminded people of two of the franchise's stalwarts: no one is safe, and death is inevitable.
The teaser follows the life of a tattoo artist inside his shop. After piercing a client's tongue, the tattoo artist sits down to tattoo the word "Dad" on his wrist. Final Destination is famous for its elaborate death scenes, and this teaser sets up another brutal kill. The chain from a ceiling fan breaks and attaches itself to the artist's nose ring. The chain gets wrapped in the fan and pulls him closer to the ceiling. A light breaks onto the floor and lands in disinfectant, which starts a fire. The fan falls from the ceiling and sends the man with it to the floor and into the fire.
As for the actual story, the movie's plot details are being kept under wraps. The logline from Warner reads, "Plagued by a violent recurring nightmare, college student Stefanie heads home to track down the one person who might be able to break the cycle and save her family from the grisly demise that inevitably awaits them all."

The Alien franchise normally features humans fighting the xenomorphs in space. In Alien: Earth, the extraterrestrial creatures are bringing the battle to Earth.

The official teaser trailer for Alien: Earth depicts a xenomorph frantically running in a ship hurling straight toward Earth. The xenomorph runs right into a glass window, giving fans a brief look at its large head. Judging by the tagline, "We were safer in space," the xenomorph will unleash havoc on humanity.
Speaking of humanity, the unlucky group sent to investigate the crash-landing is a group of tactical soldiers led by Wendy, a meta-human played by Sydney Chandler. "With this new threat unlocked," the synopsis reads, "the search crew must fight for survival, and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it."
Alien: Earth's ensemble features Alex Lawther, Timothy Olyphant, Essie Davis, Samuel Blenkin, Babou Ceesay, David Rysdahl, Adrian Edmondson, Adarsh Gourav, Jonathan Ajayi, Erana James, Lily Newmark, Diem Camille, and Moe Bar-El.
Alien: Earth takes place in 2120, two years before the events of Ridley Scott's Alien and around 30 years after Prometheus.

Dennis Quaid transforms into a notorious serial killer in the teaser trailer for Happy Face, an upcoming crime drama at Paramount+.
Happy Face is inspired by the true-life story of Melissa G. Moore, played by Annaleigh Ashford. As a teenager, Moore discovered her father (Quaid) was the Happy Face serial killer. With her father behind bars, Moore changed her name to disassociate herself from her family's name that lived in infamy. Decades later, Melissa is forced to confront the incarcerated killer after an innocent man faces the death penalty for a crime her father committed.
"Every violent act is a rock dropped in water," Ashford says in the trailer. "If you stay silent, the ripples of trauma just keep pulling everyone they touch underneath."

Moore's story served as the basis of the Happy Face podcast and her autobiography, Shattered Silence
