My favorite line from Chernobyl!

Kind of a weird take on how they notified the victim's families but ok

How the hell do you wake up dead?

“Something weird is going on at your farm. I know it!”

Soopermoose Mar 24, 2026 +10
Well you see he was alive when he went to bed, and he was in bed when he died. That's how you wake up dead.

Damn, that's some quantum shit right there

gcerullo Mar 24, 2026 +2
Not possible. He can’t ‘wake up’ and be dead at the same time! 😄

DanGram77 Mar 24, 2026 +3
Because you're alive when you go to sleep

Oh shit Craig Mazin wrote this? Hell ya

Never seen his writing credits before. He really went from a string of almost only comedies of varying quality then wrote arguably the best miniseries of all time

centaurquestions Mar 25, 2026 +1
It's a *wild* filmography

This has major Babe vibes, and I’m very glad we’re getting back to that era of moves being made.
47
hoppyandbitter Mar 24, 2026 +12
It’s kind of funny that the writer of Babe is also primarily known for a violent post-apocalyptic thriller

Damn, I really should've paid more attention when we were watching Happy Feet

Prior_Strategy Mar 24, 2026 +52
The book is fantastic and has better name, Three Bags Full. I wish they had used that name for movie.
52
Audrey_spino Mar 24, 2026 +15
Problem is, that title doesn't describe a weird premise like this. Think about foreigners who've never heard of the books.
15
BarrelRydr Mar 24, 2026
No. It’s for the people who won’t go to a movie until they’ve seen a trailer which tells them how the whole movie is going to play out.

gaaarsh Mar 24, 2026 +13
Yeah it feels very lazy as a title. The book title is so much better. Only thing I can think of is they made the title more generic for cultural reasons (non English speaking markets) where people in other countries may not know the rhyme it's taken from. Still the book was fun and with the cast and crew attached I feel like this is going to be a Paddington/Sonic case of a seemingly silly movie that people initially don't take seriously but turns out really good.
13
Litterball Mar 25, 2026 +1
Would it even be widely known in most English speaking markets?
1
RizzoTheBat Mar 25, 2026 +2
It’s also following the Game of Thrones style of naming the first movie/season for the series. The author released a sequel and the series is called The Sheep Detectives, so it’s also just a known thing to do
2
Maultaschensuppe Mar 25, 2026 +1
I kinda prefer the original book title "Glenkill"

-KFBR392 Mar 24, 2026 +179
For some reason I always assume Hugh Jackman is the type of actor to do prestige films, but his whole resume is just fun movies like these.
179
gomeziman Mar 24, 2026 +121
My favorite very fun family romp of his is "Prisoners"
121
-KFBR392 Mar 24, 2026 +17
Ya true, he's got that and Prestige as his big ones. Maybe just a lot of musicals lately to go along with his like 8 appearances as Wolverine.

UnbuiltIkeaBookcase Mar 24, 2026 +7
When “Prisoners” Hugh Jackman came out for the “Deadpool & Wolverine” car scene where he’s verbally destroying Deadpool 😮‍💨👌

I mean he was in The Prestige so you’re not wrong

TheIgnoredWriter Mar 24, 2026 +2
He’s randomly in a movie called Butter from 2012 in a minor role. The movie is whatever but his character is so f****** funny.

CancelThis2077 Mar 24, 2026 +53
This movie is either gonna be "How Did This Get Made" or "Thank God This Get Made". No in between.

This is cute. I'm also gonna need a 10 year ban on Psycho Killer in trailers.

m_Pony Mar 24, 2026 +22
the ban on Where Is My Mind in trailers was just finalized

ND7020 Mar 24, 2026 +2
Of the trailers I saw with my daughter before Hoppers this weekend, this was the only one I’m interested in seeing.  On the flip side the Nate Bargatze movie looked crushingly, horrifically terrible.

weiss-walker Mar 24, 2026 +14
But why did the chicken cross the road 🤔
14
IanRastall Mar 24, 2026 +13
Because chickens don't understand the concept of cars, and it needed to get to the other side.
13
hpark21 Mar 24, 2026 +3
Because grass is always greener on the other side?

tomassko Mar 24, 2026 +6
Is this a new zealand thing ?

DerLuk Mar 24, 2026 +9
It's based on a German novel set in Ireland.

Ksmike Mar 24, 2026 +3
Thank you! I saw the trailer, and I was thinking to myself “I swear this is that random sheep murder book that German person was telling me about a decade ago.”

Electrical-Injury-23 Mar 24, 2026 +1
Looked like British police cars, so probably set in UK.

firthy Mar 24, 2026 +1
Police uniform looked Irish. Accents were from... who knows where? All over the English speaking world.

I can't see Hugh Jackman anyone without picturing him hugging Rupert Murdoch.

aircooledJenkins Mar 24, 2026 +26
And being buddies with Jared and Ivanka

LeafBoatCaptain Mar 24, 2026 +15
Apparently he’s also associated with some cult: https://youtu.be/Corqql0QGHE?si=fL3PTXubN_9vay4l

KeremyJyles Mar 24, 2026 -27
This way of thinking must be utterly exhausting sometimes.

MagnusCthulhu Mar 24, 2026 +30
Rupert Murdoch is personally responsible for putting so much intentional evil into the world. 
30
KeremyJyles Mar 24, 2026 -12
The why is not a mystery to me, it's the inability to just switch it off and enjoy life once in a while.

MagnusCthulhu Mar 24, 2026 +7
"Why can't everyone just ignore evil like I do? Why do they have to care that people do awful things?"

Hugh Jackman = evil, got it

Brilliant-Lunch7118 Mar 24, 2026 -2
People like you are so insufferable
-2
KeremyJyles Mar 24, 2026 +10
Well I feel likewise, that's life I guess
10
Brilliant-Lunch7118 Mar 24, 2026 +1
Not mine (usually), try therapy or reading
1
KeremyJyles Mar 24, 2026 +4
No thanks, I just associate with better people in real life than here, no need for anything more

Brilliant-Lunch7118 Mar 24, 2026 -3
What? You just said you feel that you’re insufferable; try therapy or educating yourself on things that interest you to improve yourself and/or your opinion of yourself
-3
KeremyJyles Mar 24, 2026 +5
You misunderstood.

J0E_SpRaY Mar 24, 2026 +4
What, having consistent principles? Is that why you try to hide your account history?

Nah that's to frustrate pathetic people who look

Rupert Murdoch’s close friend has a new movie releasing soon.

Hey look it’s Hugh jackman- best friend of Rupert Murdoch, the man who ruined the world.

It's a movie about the weird cult of hugh jackman?

The sheep replacing the lion in the MGM logo is chef’s kiss

ToneBone12345 Mar 24, 2026 +1
The chicken better actually bok psycho killer while crossing the road in the movie and not just some trailer gimmick

Famous_Stelrons Mar 24, 2026 +1
Finally, something I could sneak in between shaun the sheep in my daughter's viewing schedule.

I'm sure I saw the trailer for this last year

firthy Mar 24, 2026 +1
What country is that meant to be...? Reminds me of the *UK-adjacent-nowhere-country* in Sex Education. A sort of a shiny Ireland, with a weird selection of accents, vehicles and uniforms.

gcerullo Mar 24, 2026 +1
I love me a good British mystery! 😆

I’m not English so I don’t know for sure, but is it safe to say Cousin Greg’s English accent is the worst English accent anyone has ever put on film?

I wasn't at all impressed with the poster, but now that I've seen the trailer I'm sold! This looks fantastic!

I love the trailer parts where the bleating sheep replaces the MGM lion, and where the chicken clucks to Psycho Killer

A town can't figure out who keeps f****** the sheep....until now. Sheep Detective 2.

Uh, about that...If it follows the book he dies at the very beginning and will barely be in it.

Oh damn. Lol I didn’t know

jeremysbrain Mar 24, 2026 +3
Its implied in the trailer, which I'm guessing you didn't actually watch. lol.
3
Nippy_Cheese Mar 24, 2026 +4
Maybe they didn't watch because they didn't want it spoiled. 
4
A_Polite_Noise Mar 24, 2026 +11
If that's the case, the discussion for that very trailer seems a poor choice of places to engage with...

The chicken clucking Psycho Killer at the end made me laugh a little too much. Looks fun!

Suddenly way less interested in this movie after learning about Hugh Jackman performing at Rupert Murdoch’s birthday

Antique-Dentist-2404 Mar 24, 2026 -12
So who exactly is the audience for this? Looks way too kiddie for adults, but a plot revolving around murder might steer away families with little kids who normally watch talking animal movies
-12
Rumbletastic Mar 24, 2026 +11
My wife and I couldn't be more thrilled to see this. We need more ridiculous nonsense in our lives right now. 
11
SirTiffAlot Mar 24, 2026 +2
There is already a lot of ridiculous nonsense going on
