What do we see in the Chapter 51 trailer?
The trailer starts by showing various clips that comprise the ‘making of Dissident,’ a fictional movie, described as the “most controversial film ever made.” The clips emulate the look of various film stocks from across film history. The text states that three actresses were murdered during the production, leaving investigators with five suspects. “If they wrote this in a script, no one would believe it,” says one character off-screen. The clips seem to pay homage to various classic Hollywood films, but the trailer doesn’t tie them together in a cohesive manner, adding to the mystery of the project.
The film is also one of the more unique projects in Hollywood, as it was shot on multiple large-scale formats, including IMAX, VistaVision, Ultra70 Panavision, and Kodak film stock.
Besides Domingo and Breslin, the film stars Colman Domingo, Emily Alyn Lind, Charlotte Lawrence, Dylan Sprayberry, and Connor Paolo. The film is written, directed, and shot by Tyler Shields, with a score by Neuman Mannas. It was produced by Todd Mandel, Giovanni Ribisi, and Tyler Shields. Steve Carson, Jake Cloobeck, John Ryan Jr., Kenan Thompson, and Tyler Transki serve as executive producers. The film is being distributed by Cineverse.
Shields previously directed Outlaw, Final Girl, the Marilyn Manson: Slay-10 music video, and a variety of short films. Domingo was recently seen in Steven Spielberg’s Disclosure Day, playing a pivotal role in the UFO movie. The celebrated actor has been nominated for two Academy Awards and was previously seen in Euphoria, Michael, The Running Man, and more.
