War is coming. The second season of HBO’s “House of the Dragon” begins June 16 and not one – but two – trailers were released on Thursday. “Westeros is on the brink of a bloody civil war with the Green and Black Councils fighting for King Aegon and Queen Rhaenyra, respectively,” according to an HBO announcement. “As each side believes theirs to be the rightful seat on the Iron Throne, the Green and Black trailers reflect those two perspectives in separate yet complementary halves of the same story,” the press release states. “For global audiences, “All Must Choose” their side of House Targaryen as the realm fractures in season two.” In the “Official Black Trailer,” Queen Rhaenyra (played by Emma D’Arcy) is ready for a battle in order to claim her “rightful” place on the Iron Throne. “I mean to fight this war and win it,” she tells Prince Daemon (Matt Smith).
Despite being based on a grim true-crime yarn, “Under the Bridge” makes several poor choices in translating the book to the screen, beginning with inserting the author, Rebecca Godfrey, into the story. This bridge into the familiar waters of troubled teens thus proves most notable as Lily Gladstone’s follow-up to “Killers of the Flower Moon,” albeit in a rather drab role as the local cop investigating the case.
