The teaser trailer for Amazon Studio's upcoming movie Being The Ricardos (2021) came out yesterday, (Which hits theaters on December 10, 2021 and streaming on Prime Video starting December 21, 2021) and because I grew up with my sister being a HUGE Lucille Ball fan (Like some much so I bought a handmade doll of Lucy when my sister found out she was having a girl, as well as a couple of children's books about her), I obviously had to post about the trailer.
During one production week of “I Love Lucy” — from Monday table read through Friday audience taping — Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) and Desi Arnaz (Javier Bardem) face a series of personal and professional crises that threaten their show, their careers and their marriage, in writer-director Aaron Sorkin’s behind-the-scenes drama.
Written & Directed by: Aaron Sorkin Producers: Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch Cast: Nicole Kidman, Javier Bardem, Jake Lacy, J.K. Simmons, Nina Arianda, Tony Hale and Alia Shawkat Run Time: 125 Minutes Rating: NR
I'm not going to lie, I don't know how I feel about this one... I try to stay positive with movie trailers but like I said above, my sister is a huge Lucille Ball fan and because of that I've watched A LOT (And I mean A LOT) of I Love Lucy (1951-1957), as well as a bunch of other television shows and movies that Lucy has been in throughout the course of my life. So, I'm kinda leaning towards feeling meh about this one. That being said, I know I'm going to end up watching it with my sister while we're home in December. Hopefully the movie will surprise me because at this point the trailer just makes me want to go to Hulu and watch all six season of I Love Lucy. I guess we'll just have to wait and see...
What about you? What do you think of the trailer? Let me know what you think of this first look at Being The Ricardos!
