You’ll note that there appears to be blood on the Joker’s face.

True to its title, the first new Game of Thrones promo is all about survival. Here we get a remix of sorts of some of the more thrilling moments we saw from the season 8 trailer. You’ve got Jon Snow (Kit Harington) standing before the weirwood tree in the godswood of Winterfell.

Bill Murray & Adam Driver Battle Zombies in The Dead Don’t Die
Is this the best cast ever assembled for a zombie movie? Yes. Yes, it is. Or, “disassembled,” as the film’s poster would have it. A zombie movie with the likes of Tilda Swinton and Steve Buscemi?

He’s done it for westerns (1995’s Dead Man),
