10 Films That Dominated CinemaCon
6. Bad Times At The El Royale
One of the most mysterious films to screen footage out of all the panels was Drew Goddard's Bad Times at the El Royale. It's got an all-star cast, including Jeff Bridges, Chris Hemsworth, Jon Hamm, Russel Crowe, and Dakota Johnson, and the basic premise is known to be that of a cast of characters all coming together at a sleazy hotel over the course of a single night.
But even after the screening, little else is known about the film.
The footage was incredibly reminiscent of Goddard's sole other feature film, A Cabin in the Woods, in terms of tone. It looked both funny and incredibly scary. The cinematography was gorgeous and teased the audeince with some sure-to-be-iconic imagery such as the cast wearing horrifyingly strange masks and a dancing, shirtless Chris Hemsworth, ala Oscar Isaac in Ex Machina.
Fox's panel had footage from a lot of different and strange films, but Bad Times at the El Royale nearly stole the stage out from underneath all of them.
