By the looks of the new Freaky Tales trailer the city of Oakland is getting the Pulp Fiction treatment with intertwining stories, blood, fighting, and excitement.
Lionsgate has dropped the brand-new trailer for the film set in the Bay and it’s looks pretty promising.
The official Synopsis: Set in 1987 Oakland, Freaky Tales is a multi-track mixtape of colorful characters — an NBA star, a corrupt cop, a female rap duo, teen punks, neo-Nazis, and a debt collector — on a collision course in a fever dream of showdowns and battles. Executive produced by hip-hop pioneer Too $hort, and featuring an all-star ensemble including Pedro Pascal, Ben Mendelsohn, Jay Ellis, Normani, Dominique Thorne, Jack Champion, Ji-young Yoo, Angus Cloud, and Tom Hanks, this pulpy blend of explosive action, edgy humor, gory kills, and sly twists and turns makes for one wild ride.
Verdict: So far so good. The trailer doesn’t give everything away, and it looks like there’s plenty of action and twists in the film. Pedro Pascal is always fun to watch on screen, but something tells me he may be a little bit of a bait, with other characters getting more screentime. So we’ll see…
Freaky Tales is in theaters April 4, 2025.
