This trailer is new, I think. There are lots of nasty comments to this tweet, if you’re interested in reading them!

Ha! Most of the comments are Leavers accusing BC and Channel 4 of creating Remain propaganda. A lot of them are nasty but I think the worst is actually the guy who ask the Government to suspend Channel 4 license! Made a movie and express an opinion should of course, be illegal in his closed mind. Also ironic because I just read a comment on Twitter by someone who calls himself Euro-friendly asking Theresa May to ban the film! I posted about this on the Death of Stalin thread, they sounds like Putin’s crooks! Or at least like the infamous Mary Whitehouse, the pious lady who helped to ban The Life of Brian in a lot of UK territories!
I have always admired Salman Rushdie reaction to the banning in the UK of a movie that described/asked for him to be killed. It was a tangible threat considering the fatwa against him and all the deaths it caused but he asked the government to allow its exhibition. He fought for the producers right of free speech even when they wanted him death! He knew that was more important because if not they would had won! It was a C- movie that without a big polemic no one went to see, by the way!
This is actually being received raves until now and it seems it’s more moderate and mature than its critics would ever be! A lot of them are predicting no one will want to watch it and who knows? There is a scandal but social media makes look insignificant rows as huge events. Most people on Twitter are actually comparing BC’s name to the Black Mirror’s episode right now!; And I don’t think people are in general very interested in political films. Just superheroes and action/fantasy stuff! But It would be great if it’s not just a critical hit but also attract a good number of viewers. Just to see their reactions! They don’t even know what it’s about but they are hoping for its failure!

I saw them referring to him as “Brexit Bandersnatch” yesterday, which I thought was pretty funny!

Also there is a hysterical tweet below this one by someone asking Channel 4 why they bought this from HBO and that he/she knows two media organizations that passed on it! LOL

I love the crazy shot under the bus! Also maybe it's me but BC's performance is kind of creepy, here! The way he walks, too, it's very different to his usual perfect posture.
