As you know we just love presenting the readership with trailer clips here on “The Chronicles” that don’t exactly fall into the music and pop culture side of the PiercingMetal.com website and such is the case with the Japanese animated feature “Weathering With You”. I discussed that film HERE in the event that you missed it and today this film opens up in select theaters in the US. It looks to be beautifully done and if you found that trailer interesting please enjoy the poster and the casting as well.

Readers of my PiercingMetal website know that I post a lot of Tours and Festivals items and over the last few days that area has been rife with stuff that you might want to check out (just click the highlighted text). Of course with “The Chronicles” being a mostly different audience there are going to be some unique live music announcements to share like this recent new from the folks behind The Governors Ball. I didn’t have a proper press release as much as a festival poster so here is the lineup for said affair.

Paramount Pictures: “Sonic The Hedgehog” TV Spots & Featurettes

Back in November I shared what amounted to be the brand-new Official Trailer for the upcoming Paramount Pictures release “Sonic The Hedgehog”. This new trailer came out because there was a massive public outcry about the character looking “too human”. Though I am generally right on top of posting trailer things, I was glad that I was late for that first one since the hoot and hollering found it going away and being redone. It would have been a lot of unnecessary work amounting to no clip in the post. You can click the highlighted text at the beginning of this paragraph to see the new one and then we can get down to business on these TV Spots and Featurettes. For this film I decided to include the two different items in one longer running post for ease of enjoyment. I’ve found that doing it like this worked out great for posts about “Avengers: Endgame” and “Star Wars: The Rise Of Skywalker” which I ran on the PiercingMetal.com website. I’ll start this speedy bit of fun with one of the promotional posters and the premise before I get into the clips for your viewing pleasure. At the last of them I will repeat the casting for good measure. Let’s race….
