    Apparently the general idea was taken from a Korean action movie The Villainess

    The Villainess was the 2nd best movie of 2017 so I'm all for the word getting out about it.

    The opening scene is better than a lot of whole movies.

    Real-life... Dora the Explorer... as a teenager... in an action/comedy movie?

    huh. That was low on my list of things I expected to see today.

    Anyways there was like, one Spanish word in the whole trailer, so 0/10, no stars, thumbs down :P

    Who is that made for? The trailer reads like a teenage angst movie where they turn Dora into Tomb Raider. Isn't Dora considered 'for kids' by teenagers? And isn't that movie too adult looking for young kids? Maybe I'm old and that looks terrible to just me, but I can't see it doing well at all.

    Thanks to seeing that posted earlier this morning I've periodically had "I'm the map" stuck in my had all day.

    What's funny is this was literally a college humor joke trailer once.

    I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

    This one?

    I had forgotten about that.

    But, for me anyway, if I type "college humor" into Youtube, it autocompletes to "college humor dora".

    Must be lots of folks looking for it now.

    That real Dora trailer should be shown the door-a oh snap dab on that.


    This feels like too easy a shot at millenials, so I'll just say it looks completely vapid and wasting a strong cast:

    I can imagine that Dora film starting life as something else and being shoe horned into being a 'Dora the Explorer' film.

    Is it bad I thought the fake Dora trailer was a lot better than the real one? But I'm also really really intrigued that the real one is real and I kind of still want to watch it?

    i appreciate that they realised the key to making this show actually good was just saying yes to literally everything their writers came up with

    A long time ago I was ankle deep into Soviet disaster history and got lost in dozens of Chernobyl documentaries. I wished someone like HBO would come in and do a classy take on it (maybe starting Emma Watson. Harry Potter just ended and she wasn't busy) and now I live in a reality where something so specific exists which means I'm either a)dead and god is not cruel or b)a god myself, whose moral alignment is dubious at best.

    What an utterly creepy trailer.

    I linked that to a friend who is from Kasachstan and he just went "no, no, nope, nope - not gonna watch that". And I can understand it. I am not sure I want to watch that either.

    I'm going to be very disappointed if Dora doesn't deadpan and ask if the viewer sees things.

    Is this being done like an anthology film with a bunch of little vignettes connected by an internal plot (ala Trick r Treat) or is it just one long film?

    It looks like vignettes with a frame story explaining why each person is having something happen to them.

    If they are that aggressive to random noises it seemingly would be simple to kill them by the score. Put up a huge web of interlocking concertina wire or something along those lines with a boombox under it. Maybe put the boombox into a heavily electrified cage. Do it the old bug zapper way.
