TheFantasy Islandtrailer made its premiere in theaters withDoctor Strange , but has since been released online . you’re able to turn back it out below .
For the most part , theFantasy Islandtrailer focuses on introducing the film ’s leads and its horrifying twist on the TV show ’s setup . Among those spotlight here are Michael Peña as Mr. Roarke , the island ’s host and a character who wasplayed by Ricardo Montalbánon the ' 70s serial ( with Malcolm McDowell take over the office in the ' 90s revival ) . Meanwhile , on the less sinister side of thing , there ’s Maggie Q and Wadlow’sTruth or Darestar , Lucy Hale , as two of the guest stay at Fantasy Island . As they soon realize , the holiday resort does , in fact , bring their dreams to life , but in shocking and disturbing way . Guests ' fantasies rarely played out as look on the television serial publication either ( normally , as a way for Roarke to learn them a moral or lesson ) . Even so , the film is definitely taking that melodic theme in a darker guidance .
The equivalence toWestworldandCabin in the Woodsmake more sense now . Fantasy Island , like the former , revolves around a setting that allow its guests tolive out their fantasies , but with a dreadful twist . And much like the characters inCabin in the Woods , it appears the guests on Fantasy Island are , in reality , unwitting participants in some kind of enceinte experimentation or ritual . It ’s an intriguing premise overall , and the trailer does a moderately decent job of setting it up . Then again , Wadlow and Blumhouse’sTruth or Darealso had a originative assumption , but the factual moviewas pretty uninspired in performance . We will see ifFantasy Islandplays out other than when it opens next year .
