Donald Glover has unveiled the first trailer for his new movie, Bando Stone & The New World. Known for his multifaceted talent, Glover not only directed the film but also stars in it, lending his musical prowess as Childish Gambino to the soundtrack. His latest song, Lithonia
, which features prominently in the trailer, is set to release on July 2.
A Dramatic First Look
The trailer teases an intense and thrilling storyline. Glover plays the titular character, Bando Stone, attempting to deliver mail in an abandoned town. The scene shifts when he encounters Jessica Allain’s character and her child. Together, they strive to survive against a backdrop of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, including monsters, dinosaurs, and sci-fi lasers.
Behind the Scenes
Over the past weekend, Glover shared an Instagram post with an IMAX ticket stub for A Quiet Place: Day One and announced that the trailer for Bando Stone & The New World would premiere prior to its screening. The hype generated by this post set high expectations for the movie’s unveiling.
This film was penned by Evi Wilder and produced by Glover’s creative studio, Gilga, in collaboration with RCA Records. It was executive produced by his longtime partner Hiro Murai along with Fam Udeorji, Chad Taylor, Ibra Ake, and Javier Alejandro.
More Music on the Horizon
Fans will be excited to learn that earlier this year, Glover disclosed plans to release two more albums under his Childish Gambino alias. The first is titled Atavista, which he describes as the finished version of 3.15.20
. The second album will be a companion soundtrack for Bando Stone & The New World.
Upcoming Tour Dates
This summer promises more excitement as Childish Gambino embarks on a North American, European, and Oceanian tour. With opening acts such as Amaarae and Willow joining select dates, it’s set to be a memorable tour—his first since 2019.
Bando Stone & The New World doesn’t have a release date yet, but anticipation is building quickly thanks to this impactful trailer.
