Based on my KND 838 Illuminati idea and (to a lesser degree) the first Infinity War trailer.
Note: the ending is a lot happier than IW, though we do lose a few supporting protagonists.
(Open on a shot of the Sector V treehouse. Cut to 12-year-old Nigel holding the index and middle fingers of each hand to the sides of his head.)
Nigel (v/o): There was an idea...
(Cut to 11-year-old Hoagie, who appears to have lost a bit of weight, sitting up in bed. He breathes heavily, not noticing his arms have gotten long enough to circle around his bedroom.)
Hoagie (v/o): ...to bring together a group of extraordinary kids...
(Cut to 11-year-old Kuki conjuring a portal to King Sandy’s residence. On the other side, Mushi looks up and holds out her arms in greeting.)
Kuki (v/o): ...to see if we could become something more...
(Cut to Wallabee looking out a Moonbase window, watching GKND ships approach.)
Wallabee (v/o): ...so when they needed us, we could fight the battles...
(Cut to Abby and Cree looking at each other with awkward expressions.)
Abby (v/o): ...that they never could.
(Cartoon Network and Marvel logos briefly appear. Cut to Sector V and Fran walking out of Numbuh 362’s ‘office’. Shot of Tommy opening a door.)
Rachel (v/o): Adulthood is what gives childhood meaning...
(Shots of several GKND ships in different parts of the world, various KND members looking up at them in awe.)
Rachel (v/o): ...what makes it something to cherish.
(Shot of several KND operatives, including Lee, Sonia, and Paddy, prepared for battle. Shot of an unidentifiable figure stepping over the stunned and unconscious forms of several GKND members. Shot of Monty standing protectively in front of Nigel as a GKND operative approaches.)
Rachel (v/o): Some want it to come sooner, only to find it’s not worth the rush.
(Shot of a black-cloaked figure stepping out of the shadows.)
Rachel (v/o): Being a kid is a privilege.
(Shot of Abby donning a blue, black, and silver version of Captain Marvel’s costume. In the background, Cree and the Teen Ninjas are suiting up in Z.E.B.R.A.s [Zero Edge Battle Ready Armor].)
Cree (v/o): It’s not adulthood that we’re fighting.
(Shot of Nigel engaged in psionic combat with a shadowy figure with glowing blue eyes. Shot of a Teen Ninja hurling a knife, which is caught by a gloved hand.)
Cree (v/o): The real disease...is fear.
(Shot of Wallabee stepping through a doorway, dressed in an orange and blue costume and holding an ‘Australian’ version of Captain Carter’s shield.)
Cree (v/o): Fear of something you’re too young to truly understand.
(Shots of the former Sector V engaging GKND members in combat. Despite their advanced 2x4 tech, the latter are no match for the ex-operatives and their powers.)
Rachel (v/o): What is youth...
(Shot of Tommy, Mushi, Lee, Sonia, and Paddy, all in costume and fighting GKND members, the odds clearly in their favor. Shot of Rachel being restrained by Numbuh 74.239 as another GKND operative presses needle-like protrusions into her side, causing her to scream.)
Rachel (v/o): ...if not the continuation of innocence?
(Shot of Fran in a costume similar to that of Black Bolt, glaring at someone offscreen. She opens her mouth to speak, but we don't hear what she says, though we do see the resulting sound waves. Shot of a badly injured Lizzie climbing up an incredibly high tower with a determined expression and a bag slung around her. Shot of an army of KND operatives--some costumed and some not--gathered and looking determined. Shot of an army of GKND members looking just as determined. Shot of the KND army charging into battle, the costumed members displaying their powers as they do so. Cut to title card.)
Codename: Kids Next Door
Childhood’s End
(Cut to Nigel dressed in a red and black costume with a brain emblem on his belt buckle.)
Nigel: Are you ready?
(Shot of the now-former DCFDTL, dressed in red and black uniforms with individual emblems on their chests and belts. Bruce has a pair of red-feathered wings, Constance is covering herself with ice, Ashley is holding up a handful of gumball bombs telekinetically, David is adjusting a special visor, and Lenny has transformed into a blue-furred human-cat hybrid. All five give a nod before striking a group pose.)
Has anyone ever re-cut the Empire Strikes Back trailer to look like a horror film?
Because to the Rebels it probably felt like one.
Seriously, the last few minutes of Rogue One with Vader made me think so much of a horror movie that I kind of want to see Vader in the other movies shown as that level of scary at least once.
A trailer for a live-action Castlevania movie, released today in honor of the series’ 35th anniversary.
If anyone has any ideas for casting, feel free to speak up.

-Nothing to Lose
(Open on 22-year-old reporter Colette Whitmore arriving in Amsterdam for her first international assignment. Accompanying her as she disembarks from the plane is cameraman Javier Guerra.)
Javier: Why’d you want to come here so bad?
(Shot of Colette on a balcony, staring at the distant form of a castle.)
Colette (v/o): Something...drew me here. I can’t quite explain it.
(Cut to Colette and Javier on a bus. The passenger beside them is reading a newspaper, with the headline reading “Has the Mystery Castle Appeared Before?” Cut to Sophie Ziegler, a teenage girl who looks much like a female version of Richter Belmont, sitting on her bed with a black-shelled turtle, a blue-scaled dragon, a red-feathered bird, and a white-furred cat, each small enough to be mistaken for a stuffed animal. As the cat crawls into her lap, she turns to stare out her bedroom window.)
Sophie: Maria...it’s happening again.
(Konami logo appears. Cut to Colette and a young Brit named Adam Redgrave in a hotel buffet room, watching a news report about people dying in what look like animal attacks.)
Adam: There are other Belmonts out there...
(Shot of Colette holding the Vampire Killer with a look of awe. Cut back to Colette and Adam.)
Adam: ...but fate has decreed that this is your time.
(Shot of Colette, Javier, Sophie, and Adam approaching the entrance to Dracula’s Castle. Cut to the inside of the first floor hallway as the door creaks open. Shots of the quartet fighting various enemies. Cut to Death watching from a balcony as Adam helps an injured Javier to his feet.)
Death: Dracula was freed from the cycle years ago...
(Cut to the quartet in a room full of portraits. Colette and Javier are looking at paintings of Simon, Richter, Trevor, and Julius, Sophie gently strokes a painting of Maria with a mournful expression, and Adam inspects a painting of Soma Cruz and Alucard. Cut to Death floating through the castle halls.)
Death: ...so why does the castle still keep returning?
(Shot of Adam conjuring a sphere of lightning and holding it aloft. It releases smaller bolts of electricity that shoot off like fireworks and hit the mummies advancing toward him. Shot of Sophie and the four small animals from earlier. She gestures, and they grow larger, transforming into avatars of the Four Symbols. Shot of Javier on his hands and knees as a beam of moonlight shines down on him. He starts to grow larger and change form, shirt and shoes being torn apart. As the change completes, the new werewolf rises to his feet and howls. Cut to Colette standing face to face with Medusa. An aura of confidence emanates from Colette as she draws and brandishes the Vampire Killer.)
Colette: I...am...a Belmont!
(She lashes out with the whip, striking Medusa with enough force to knock her to the floor. As she gets up, hissing angrily, Colette smirks and cracks the whip. Cut to title card.)
Castlevania: New Blood
(Shot of Carmilla inspecting a set of photographs, including one of Sophia. Across from her, Laura lays out several hand-painted cards, each depicting a past wielder of the Vampire Killer, in a line on the floor. Carmilla kneels and begins setting the photos across from the cards. The camera zooms in on Sophie’s photo, paired with the card featuring Richter Belmont.)
My take on a trailer (possibly live-action) for a W.I.T.C.H. movie, partially inspired by the trailers for Doctor Strange.
(Posted today in celebration of the movie’s 5th anniversary)
(Open on a bird’s eye view of Heatherfield at night. Without warning, a large disc of light materializes in the air, releasing tendrils of light in all directions.)
Yan Lin (v/o): Everything you think you know...I’d advise you to forget it.
(Shot of a Council of Kandrakar meeting. Shot of the Oracle holding out the Heart of Kandrakar to someone offscreen.)
Oracle (v/o): What if I told you that your world had a hidden potential?
(Cut to Will hovering in a void of light purple mist, dressed only in her PJs. All around her, faintly glowing bubbles drift about, various faces reflected in their surfaces.)
Oracle (v/o): Almost all worlds have magic, though not all have discovered it yet.
(Shot of Cornelia holding her arms up to shield herself as a chunk of rock hurtles toward her, only for it to explode into a flurry of flower petals. Shot of Taranee in a room on fire, making the flames part with a wave of her hand. Kneeling, she holds out a hand to Elyon, who is pinned under a steel beam. After a moment’s hesitation, Elyon takes it. Shot of Hay Lin flying over a park, the wind holding her aloft. Shot of Irma dancing across the surface of a pond, ribbons of water moving in sync with her steps.)
Oracle (v/o): Now that your world has begun to awaken in full, it has become a target for the ill-intentioned...
(Shot of Phobos emerging from a portal, accompanied by Lord Cedric and Vathek.)
Oracle (v/o): ...which means it will need Guardians to protect it as it adapts.
(Shots of the Guardians practicing with their powers, with Yan Lin and the Oracle watching from nearby.)
Oracle: They are strong.
Endarno: But will they be strong enough?
(Shot of Caleb engaged in battle with Vathek, with Elyon watching from behind a tree. Shot of the Guardians fighting Phobos’ minions.)
Endarno: There have been Guardians in the past, some of whom have lost their way.
(Shot of Yan Lin holding a photograph of herself and the previous team of Guardians. A wistful smile crosses her face as she runs a finger over the face of Cassidy. Cut to Phobos standing atop on the roof of Heatherfield High, arms spread wide as his minions pour from the magical gateway down below.)
Phobos: Now I have become fear, devastator of worlds.
(Shot of various Heatherfield citizens looking up at the sky. A few, such as Matt and Lillian, begin to glow faintly, though no one seems to notice.)
Text: THE FIVE MUST UNITE
(Cut to the five girls standing in a circle, with the Heart of Kandrakar floating above Will’s open palm.)
Will: Guardians, unite!
(The Heart begins to glow, and each of the girls is enveloped in a colorful orb of light—Will in pink, Irma in blue, Taranee in red, Cornelia in green, and Hay Lin in yellow.)
Text: AND TRANSFORM THEIR REALITY
(The orbs break open, revealing the girls in their Guardian forms.)
Will: Aether!
Irma: Water!
Taranee: Fire!
Cornelia: Earth
Hay Lin: Air!
(Shot of the girls taking to the air, launching into battle with a magically enlarged Cedric. Cut to title card.)
