Over the weekend Netflix held its 2025 Tudum event live at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles. A star-packed lineup was on hand to share news, first looks, and release dates for some of the platform’s biggest upcoming movies and television shows. Fans of television got plenty of new announcements for hit shows like “Stranger Things”, “Wednesday”, and “Squid Game”. But movie fans were also treated to some exciting reveals. Here are three new movie trailers along with their 2025 release dates that were shared during Netflix’s Tudum event.
“Frankenstein”
The biggest treat of the evening came from Guillermo del Toro who presented the first trailer for his highly anticipated adaptation of Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. To no surprise del Toro assembles a stellar cast that includes Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, Mia Goth, Christoph Waltz, Ralph Ineson, David Bradley, Charles Dance, and Lars Mikkelsen. This first trailer teases everything fans of the filmmaker are looking for. It shows off del Toro’s distinct visual style and management of tone while also honoring the classic Shelley tale. “Frankenstein” releases this November at it looks to be well worth the wait.
“Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery”
While it was much more of a tease, writer-director Rian Johnson gave us our first look at the third installment in his Knives Out series. “Wake Up Dead Man” is his latest mystery featuring Daniel Craig’s famed private detective Benoit Blanc. This standalone sequel to 2022’s “Glass Onion” sports another captivating ensemble: Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church. The film seems to have a much different tone than its predecessors while still maintaining the form as a classic whodunit. “Wake Up Dead Man” releases on December 12th.
“Happy Gilmore 2”
While we got our first look at “Happy Gilmore 2” a couple of months ago, Netflix released its first full trailer at Tudum. While I get that some people have a certain nostalgic attachment to 1996’s “Happy Gilmore”, I can’t say that I do. So admittedly I may not be the target audience. Maybe that’s why the “Happy Gilmore 2” trailer didn’t excite me as much as it will others. I can’t help but like Sandler. But this looks like a standard Sandler joint with the same brand of comedy and an endless list of cameos from his friends. So if you’re a longtime Sandler fan, this is probably on you must-see list. For everyone else, we’ll see. “Happy Gilmore 2” releases on July 25th.
Keith & the Movies 
3 movies to look forward to. As unusual as this sounds, im most eager about Happy Gilmore 2. Admittedly the effect of Sandlers comedies have had a steep decline since Little Nicky. But I find his comedies to be a kind of relief to the very serious movies out there.
As for Del Toro, Pans Labyrinth remains a favorite. He seems to be more of a designer than a director. But it’s hard to say how good his movies will be. Frankenstein is a great novel.
For more del Toro can be incredible when he hits his mark. Pans, Nightmare Alley, and Pinocchio are all personal favorites. He can also throw out a stinker now and then (ala The Shape of Water).
But I’m really excited for Frankenstein
Yep, these are 3 films I want to see. Guillermo puts my ass in the seat as does Rian Johnson. Seeing Margaret Qualley, Bad Bunny (he’s a funny hombre), Becky Lynch, and MJF plus the return of Shooter McGavin for Happy Gilmore 2. FUCK YEAH!
Too me that one looks like the same old Sandler formula that has plagued most of his movies over the last 15 years or so. He realizes on the same gags and endless cameos for laughs. Probably not for me but I’ll give it a shot.
But it has Shooter McGavin! One of the greatest villains in the history of cinema.
Ok I admit, he was pretty great! 😂
The live action Scooby-Doo series hasn’t been filmed yet
