Adam Driver has been an actor to watch ever since he first debuted back on HBO and then burst onto the big screen conquering everything from quiet dramas like Last Duel, to comedies like Logan Lucky, to playing villain-turned-not Kylo Ren in the Star Wars sequel trilogy. His latest is 65—as in the old Jurassic Park tagline, “An Adventure 65 Million Years in the Making…”—a sci-fi action jaunt with dinosaurs from the people who wrote A Quiet Place.
Sony’s YouTube account just released a new trailer for the upcoming scifi adventure, and the preview of the March 10, 2023 movie is full of all the dino-chomping action one could possibly hope for from a thing they weren’t expecting dino-chomping action in in the first place.
The premise of 65 feels very much like Land of the Lost (either the goofy 1970s show or the Will Ferrell remake) about a group of people who somehow find themselves stranded way in the past—about 65 million years or so—and end up in a world of dinosaurs that they’re only partially prepared for (a futuristic blaster does a lot, no matter how big something is). The trailer opens with Adam Driver (who plays Mills) describing how his ship was hit by an undocumented asteroid and that he had to crash land on a strange world.
Mills goes on to say he was transporting 35 passengers on a long-range exploratory mission. As his ship blasts through the atmosphere, shedding pieces, it cuts to Mills in the crashed cockpit talking to his radio: “Send help.” Mills suits up, straps on his rifle, and begins exploring the “strange” planet that has breathable air and potable water while things creep and crawl and slither away behind him. He comes across another survivor, Koa (Ariana Greenblatt), and together they set out to figure out what happened to them and where they’re at. Ominous things rumble the trees in the distance.
The trailer then cuts to an extended shot of Mills and Koa in a cave, surrounded by proximity sensors that all flash from yellow to red, then blare a siren. Grabbing his rifle, he looks around, unaware of the T-Rex just outside the cave behind him in the driving rain. He fires at it. The trailer then becomes a frenetic montage of Mills running and gunning with the inhabitants of the unknown planet: dinosaurs on a pre-historic earth. Mills promises Koa that they’re going to find a way home before gunning down another dinosaur as the trailer for 65 cuts to credits.
65 hits theaters March 10, 2023.
