The first trailer for The End of Oak Street<\/a>, director and writer David Robert Mitchell\u2019s\u00a0upcoming fourth film, immediately hooked us with its premise of dinosaurs invading a suburban neighborhood after the area is mysteriously transported to a prehistoric region. And we\u2019d follow Mitchell anywhere after his brilliant and visually striking 2014 horror film It Follows<\/a>. But because the first trailer (understandably) highlighted the action and mystery of the film, it was missing the sweeping, slow-moving, focus-shifting wide shots that make Mitchell\u2019s work so distinctive.<\/p>\n

A new trailer advertising that tickets are on now on sale for The End of Oak Street sets that right. It opens with a seemingly innocuous shot of a family getting into a car. As the camera spins, though, we see Anne Hathaway and Ewan McGregor running across the back of the frame, fleeing from some unseen terror. And then we see the terror, and it\u2019s a dinosaur, and it chomps some poor lady\u2019s head right off. In other words: we\u2019re so back, baby.<\/p>\n

At a recent 4DX preview event for the film, Mitchell spoke about the suburban childhood inspiration behind the film. \u201cThere\u2019s a sort of magic to it, you know, to sort of what\u2019s behind the garage, what\u2019s on the next street or beyond that chain link fence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean, it was really the idea of connecting, you know, the average and the mundane and the idea of a normal neighborhood with something that is so fantastical,\u201d Mitchell continued. \u201cAnd I thought that the merging of those two things would be interesting, that we might, you know, sort of grounding the spectacle, basically.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mundane and the fantastical will crash into each other when The End of Oak Street hits theaters on August 14. Tickets are on sale now.<\/p>\n
