This is certainly one of the stranger things I’ve seen Netflix make.

Reminded me of Dragonslayer a little bit. I assume she's meant to be sacrificed but she'll buck the trend of course.

The last predator movie with the native American woman was really good.

Did I see Ray Winston in the trailer? That alone has my curiosity.

From what I've read, people that have worked with her don't think she is a particularly nice person.

The trailer wasn't bad, but I refuse to be optimistic for more than one Netflix project. 3 Body Problem don't fail me now.
This looks like everything wrong with modern filmmaking.
But if it is a hard R and she pulls a No Hard Feelings then I'm in.
Otherwise this looks to be as boring and predictable as it gets.
Tell me this is actually a Krull remake though and I'm in! Otherwise I don't really care if MBB can fight her way out of a dragons den and grab a sword from some dead hero and finish off the beast. Yawn.

Honestly the first half of this trailer made me think that DAMSEL was a codename for the latest Stranger Things season. It felt like she was trying to survive inside of the Upside-down dimension.

Unfortunately, I think Its much more shallow than that there's something about her face that puts me off

unfortunately Milly Bobby brown is one of those talented enough actresses who hit stardom way to early and has kind of been type casted now, she is going to end up with a flat career much like daisy ridley after being Ray.
she needs a better agent and to get the fuck away from netflix

modern young actresses have a bad stink about them, it's not their fault though, it's a mixture of having more of an exponential social media fame growth than actual film stardom growth (a lot of these young actors/actresses have far more social media clout after acting in one popular show/movie instead of building that reputation up over many movies/shows like one would previously) as well as having "modern" marketing firms handling their PR.
instead of being young women that younger girls aspire to, they are taught to be young activists that take down the older women for some unknown reason.

That actually looks pretty great. The quality looks utterly amazing, the sets, the costumes, etc look very well done.

Give 5 suggestions for who should play the lead
ChatGPT
Casting the lead role of Eirlys in "Crown of Echoes" would be pivotal in setting the tone for the series. Here are five suggestions for actresses who have a strong association with Netflix series and could effectively portray the strength, intelligence, and complexity of the character:
- Anya Taylor-Joy: Known for her captivating performance in "The Queen's Gambit," Taylor-Joy could bring a mix of intensity and vulnerability to Eirlys, showcasing her strategic mind and warrior skills.
- Millie Bobby Brown: Famous for her role in "Stranger Things," Brown has already demonstrated her ability to handle complex roles in a fantasy setting. Her portrayal of Eirlys could add a layer of youthful energy and resilience.
- Katherine Langford: After her powerful performance in "13 Reasons Why" and "Cursed," Langford could bring a deep emotional range and a commanding presence to the role, aligning well with the character's leadership qualities.
- Gillian Anderson: Her outstanding roles in various series, including "The Crown," demonstrate her versatility and strong screen presence. Anderson could offer a more mature and seasoned portrayal of Eirlys, emphasizing wisdom and experience.
- Uzo Aduba: Known for her role in "Orange Is the New Black," Aduba's ability to portray strong, complex characters would make her an excellent choice for Eirlys. She could bring a unique depth and power to the role, highlighting the character's determination and strategic acumen.

I'm not sure Daisy Ridley is a good point of reference - she was plucked from obscurity and returned to it pretty quickly, while MBB has been embraced. Take a look at Instagram - 400k followers Vs 63.5m with that many people interested in her, plenty of films and TV shows will want to sign her up.unfortunately Milly Bobby brown is one of those talented enough actresses who hit stardom way to early and has kind of been type casted now, she is going to end up with a flat career much like daisy ridley after being Ray.

This girl is supposedly a beeotch in real life, right? I'm not buying her nice gal persona.
StueyDuck

She was also plucked from obscurity and I wouldn't say "plenty"
She's flatlining in Netflix movies and once the final stranger things season is done she'll probably be done too with maybe another one or two straight to streaming Mary Sue roles
Number of followers on social media doesn't really equal the quality of actor or the number of roles she would be getting, that's why she's in these movies that seem to be written by AI, maybe only in marvel movies is that more important, but even then they still seem to hire people they see fit for a role and not just based on followers
In fact that sort of fame usually results more in cameos than leading roles
Her breakout moment was meant to be godzilla but that was a poor movie to bet your career on.

Ok mate, the girl who's fronting the film for Netflix and has more followers on social media than Manchester United is all washed up.

You seem to lack the capability to seperate social media fame and a movie career. By your logic Cardi-B is the most important actress right now
Fronting a Netflix film is hardly the most amazing career path an actor can be on, look at Chris Evans career post MCU. Apart from knives out its been a fairly sharp decline.
Her career may be financially going well but her filmography is rather stagnant and dwindling, this isn't some controversial take, she's starring in what is modern eras version of a straight to video movie.
Plus if the rumors that everyone else here is saying is true and that she's difficult to work with then that's going to have an adverse affect on her career also

All of the stranger things actors have something oozing about them that is just super annoying.

No mate, Cardi B isn't an actor, she's a musician with a big following. MBB is an actor with a big following. MBB was a supporting cast member in a TV show and at 19 is now a big enough star to be the lead on a movie for the same network. No idea why you think that warrants shitting on, but you do you.

lol megan thee stallion then.
megan thee stallion under your logic has the best career of all hollywood actresses.
again you seem to think being social media popular equals a lucrative film career.
look i'm not 16, maybe that is how 16 year olds view someones filmography, but in the classic sense she is being type cast into mary sue roles on a straight to streaming Mid to low budget platform. I can't imagine that being the dream career of any actor/actress prior, but maybe that is the cool new way to view things, more instagram followers rather than a body of work.

You're putting words into my mouth.
You said that her career would have the same trajectory as Daisy Ridley's, who is basically nowhere to be seen. I pointed out that she evidently is far more popular than Daisy Ridley as evidenced by being followed by 63m people and that easy measure of popularity would be a serious consideration when casting an actor for mainstream cinema. That following makes her more likely to be booked, because audiences appear to like her. The greatest actors are rarely cast in leading roles, even in movies that cost less than $100m. Does that mean that Kim Kardashian could book a role in the latest Scorsese film opposite De Niro? Unlikely, but that's not what I'm saying, she's not an actor (well, not in the traditional sense).
I'm also not saying this is the greatest acting career the world has ever seen or that she's the greatest actor of her generation - but she's still doing better than more than 99% of actors across the board, let alone someone her age. If I was a betting man, I'd say that she's already got a better career than Daisy Ridley, and that in taking leading roles in films, even ones by netflix, represents an ascendancy, not a decline.

you really can't get away from social media can you, hey well if that's what floats your boat then sure.
I promise you movies are hiring based on who they feel fits the role best, both MBB and Daisy Ridley became famous because of exactly that reason, even Disney and Marvel which have been a shit show in terms of quality still are choosing actors based on their ability to fulfil the role and character, this idea that movie execs only care about your instagram followers is so strange that I don't even know where you are coming up with it, I guess you took the "Tom Holland in all game adaptations" meme a little too seriously. I can't think of a single modern big budget movie or tv show where it was evidential that a main character was cast because of their instagram account. Those are usually relegated to Cameo Appearances, much like greatest actress in the world, megan thee stallion.
i see a career that is flatlining, it's not unusual for break out actors to have a career fart post famous thing, Mark Hamill vs Harrison Ford after Star Wars is a perfect example and right now she is falling into the Mark Hamill category, unless she starts getting better roles and stops being type casted, either that or they reboot stranger things in a few years and she can live off that fame, don't really care much about her instagram.

Yeah, she is a good actress (if she is a bitch irl, who cares) but she should go the Sadie Sink route and pick better projectsunfortunately Milly Bobby brown is one of those talented enough actresses who hit stardom way to early and has kind of been type casted now, she is going to end up with a flat career much like daisy ridley after being Ray.

Sadie has worked with Aronofsky already while Milly is making Netflix movies only
Milly is probably making bank, but she should think about the long run

I have to say this movie surprised me. The characters acted mostly plausibly and although the script had some flaws the plot made somewhat sense.
It was clear this movie was inspired by Predator, Prey and The Game of Thrones.
I had a pretty good time with it. Could be worth a watch if survival type films are your thing.

This is amazing. It's like:
"ChatGPT, generate a parody of what an AI-generated outline for a "progressive" series would look like. Really lean in to what makes AI-generated crap so goofy. Don't hold back."
Perfection.
