#FIRSTLOOK: “RUBY GILLMAN, TEENAGE KRAKEN” TRAILER

Canada’s Lana Condor stars in RUBY GILLMAN, TREENAGE KRAKEN, coming to theatres June 30, 2023. Here’s a look at the Trailer! Our Annie Murphy also stars!

Synopsis:

Sometimes the hero you are meant to be lies just beneath the surface.

This summer, DreamWorks Animation dives into the turbulent waters of high school with a hilarious, heartfelt action comedy about a shy teenager who discovers that she’s part of a legendary royal lineage of mythical sea krakens and that her destiny, in the depths of the oceans, is bigger than she ever dreamed.

Sweet, awkward 16-year-old Ruby Gillman (Lana Condor, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before franchise) is desperate to fit in at Oceanside High, but she mostly just feels invisible.

She’s math-tutoring her skater-boy crush (Jaboukie Young-White, Ralph Breaks the Internet), who only seems to admire her for her fractals, and she’s prevented from hanging out with the cool kids at the beach because her over-protective supermom (Oscar® nominee Toni Collette, Knives Out), has forbade Ruby from ever getting in the water.

But when she breaks her mom’s #1 rule, Ruby will discover that she is a direct descendant of the warrior Kraken queens and is destined to inherit the throne from her commanding grandmother (Academy Award® winner Jane Fonda), the Warrior Queen of the Seven Seas.

The Kraken are sworn to protect the oceans of the world against the vain, power-hungry mermaids who have been battling with the Kraken for eons. There’s one major, and immediate, problem with that: The school’s beautiful, popular new girl, Chelsea (Emmy winner Annie Murphy, Schitt’s Creek) just happens to be a mermaid. Ruby will ultimately need to embrace who she is and go big to protect those she loves most.

Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken stars an extraordinary cast that includes Emmy winner Colman Domingo (Fear the Walking Dead) as Ruby’s supportive dad, Emmy nominee Sam Richardson (Veep) as Ruby’s enthusiastic uncle and Blue Chapman (Council of Dads) as Ruby’s cool little brother.

Directed by Academy Award® nominated filmmaker Kirk DeMicco (Vivo, The Croods) and produced by Kelly Cooney Cilella (Trolls World Tour, Trolls), with Faryn Pearl (The Croods: A New Age, Trolls World Tour) serving as co-director, the film features a comedic powerhouse supporting cast, including Emmy nominee Will Forte (The Last Man on Earth), Emmy nominee Nicole Byer (Nailed It!), YouTube Diamond creator Liza Koshy (Liza on Demand), Ramona Young (Never Have I Ever), Eduardo Franco (Stranger Things) and Echo Kellum (Arrow).

#FIRSTLOOK: “BOO BITCH”

By Mr. Will Wong

Lana Condor has propelled herself into this generation’s official Stream Queen, finding tons of success with the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before Franchise. And now she branches into the dark side, yet still managing to be light in another Netflix venture in darkly-comedic Series BOO BITCH. She even serves as Executive Producer.

The eight-episode Series centers on Helen (Condor) who is agreeable, but barely noticed at school. In fact year after year, despite demanding a correction, her classmates still confuse her as “Helen Who”. Determined to get noticed, she and her best friend Gia (Zia Colletti) devise a master plan to live their best lives, taking on new personas, and Helen becoming Erika! But much to her demise, she discovers that she might now actually be a ghost!

While BOO BITCH falls into some of the similar “disregarded teen girl who blossoms” tropes as others before, its choice to have Erika ponder mortality, life and regret, adds an element of meaningfulness to it. The Series explores consequence to action and atonement, and this helps Erika win us over despite her intentions on the surface being superficial. If there’s one thing beneath all the teen drama and politics that you can take away here, it is that you too should be living your life to the fullest!

Condor as always is an engaging lead and has about of fun with it. BOO BITCH‘s biggest revelation though, is Aparna Briell who plays Queen Bee Riley, who is threatened by the arrival of Erika. She possesses some of that energy of Euphoria‘s Maddie and makes bad look investing! These episodes fly by rather quickly, a perfect, breezy weekend binge!

BOO BITCH streams July 8, 2022 on Netflix.
