BIRDS OF PREY Trailer: Come Back Joel Schumacher, All Is Forgiven

Movies In Focus is getting serious Joel Schumacher vibes from this trailer for Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) – and not in a good way. The tone and the neon – it’s as if someone saw moments [...]
