Teaser for "Looking For Alaska" (October 18, all episodes on Hulu)

[Fuu]

I haven't read the novel, but this teaser got my attention because it's the most Life is Strange teaser I've ever seen.

They're going all out with the style, even using Crosses by José Gonzáles, but even without the song the vibe is there.

 

[It’s Time To Go]

I always enjoy adaptions of John Green books so this is right up my street.

 

[renegade_sylens]

Seriously nice find! The trailer straight up used the same exact song from Life is Strange! Now, I will forever associate Looking for Alaska with Life is Strange. Nice going!

 

[Shiloh]

Just had to look up when this was releasing earlier this week

Looks pretty promising. It's 8 episodes, right? I look forward to what probably happens in the 4th episode in the spoiler thread we hopefully have on this.

 

[desu]

I didn't know this was coming out at all. Pretty excited for this as I enjoyed the book.

 

[Turkoop]

NO FUCKING WAAAAAY
I READ THE BOOK LAST YEAR AND IT TOUCHED ME SO HARD

 

[Fanto]

God damn, yeah the LiS vibes were pretty strong in that trailer haha.

 

[shnurgleton]

found it

 

[luca]

I love the vibe of that trailer, I'll check it out.

This is not supposed to be serious, but I did this because I'm fascinated by how close it looks and feels, haha:

This one was just for fun lol:

 

[chadskin]

Glad I'm not the only one who got some LiS vibes from that trailer!

Click to shrink...

Lol, perfect.

 

[Fuu]

Just realized I got the premiere date wrong on the title, it's October 18, not October 12. I'll ask for a mod to fix it.

edit: thanks, Brazil!

 

[jakomocha]

I loved this book when I was a kid, so hypeee...


But damn, this makes me really wish that that Life is Strange TV Series deal actually amounted to something. I think the series could translate over really well to television

 

[Jon Carter]

Wow, Josh Schwartz has been trying to make a movie of this since forever. Glad he could finally do it, even if as a TV show.

 

[Juan29.Zapata]

Well they did use José Gonzales' Crosses which was heavily featured in one of the episodes in the original LiS. That looks pretty great.

 

[chadskin]

It's out now on Hulu. Soundtrack is OC-inspired with covers of great indie songs of the time (To Be Alone With You, Orange Sky, I Will Follow You Into The Dark, ...)

 

[FreezePeach]

This was excellent. Marathoned it. Really really good. Quite the rollercoaster. 90% at RT too. I knew nothing about the source material so maybe its best that way. Never even watched a trailer.

 

[fireworksordie]

saw a sponsored trailer for this pop up on instagram today that caught my eye (ear?) because it was using Pinback's "Fortress" which i haven't heard used in anything since... 2006? but anything Pinback gets a thumbs up from me.

 

[Jonnykong]

Started going through this at the start of the week (it's on Iplayer for folks in the UK). Just finished episode 4.

I think it's great, personally, and it made me realise we sadly have a lack of good teen TV shows nowadays.

 

[infinitebento]

I wept bingeing this while holding my first edition of the book all curled up

10/10 and that acapella of "Honest Mistake" fucking destroyed me
