‘The End of Oak Street’ Trailer Goes Full ‘Jurassic Park’ in Suburbia
The End of Oak Street came out of nowhere with a teaser trailer that left us with more questions than answers, which is exactly what sci-fi horror auteur J.J. Abrams and his Bad Robot Productions are known for.
Looking like some strange hybrid of Jurassic Park, Cloverfield, and Twilight Zone, with a hint of Spielberg, we learned that the film begins after a mysterious cosmic event rips Oak Street out of suburbia and transports its neighborhood to an unknown place. The Platt family – Anne Hathaway, Ewan McGregor, Maisy Stella, and Christian Convery – soon discovers that their very survival depends on them sticking together as they navigate their now unrecognizable surroundings.
This new TV spot is going full Jurassic Park in suburbia, using a voice-over to shed some new light on the mystery: It’s been two years since Oak Street vanished without a trace, which leads me to believe this is some time-travel mishap.
Directed by It Follows filmmaker David Robert Mitchell, I guess we’ll find out what’s in the “mystery box” in theaters everywhere on August 14.
