'Wonder Woman 1984': What's the name of the catchy song in the trailer?
Trailers and their complementing soundtracks have been the flavor of the month. The buzz started with 'Black Widow' as the trailer music that blared in the background while there was some manic mayhem going on-screen. And now, the trend seems to continue with the 'Wonder Woman 1984' trailer that was released by Warner Bros and DC Films.
Directed by Patty Jenkins, the clip features a mix of '80s songs. Like the title suggests, 'WW 1984' picks up 30 years after the last adventure and the fashion and theme of the time has been brought to life vibrantly on screen. We see bright colors splashed all over, a colorful Diana (Gal Gadot) suit and the mise-en-scene modeled to evoke some nostalgia. Fans may recognize a familiar song in the background, especially if they happen to be synth-pop fans. The clip is set to an instrumental remix of 'Blue Monday' by New Order and was released in 1983 as part of the group's 'Power, Corruption & Lies' album.
Also making headlines is the return of Chris Pine as Steve Trevor who seemingly died in the first installment. 'WW 1984' stars Gal Gadot in the title role, with Chris Pine, Kristen Wiig, Pedro Pascal, Robin Wright and Connie Nielsen in supporting roles. It is the fourth live-action theatrical film featuring the title character, following 'Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice' (2016), 'Wonder Woman' and 'Justice League' (2017); it will be the second full-length feature film centered around the character.
'Wonder Woman' releases on June 5, 2020.
