Donald Glover who also goes by the rap moniker Childish Gambino, just unveiled the trailer for his upcoming movie Bando Stone & The New World during the 2024 BET Awards.

If you watched the show live, a brief version of the trailer aired during the event’s commercials, while Gambino posted a full two-minute version on his YouTube channel an hour earlier. The trailer had already been seen by some in theaters and quickly circulated online a few days ago. That’s called a rollout. As a companion to the film, Gambino plans to release a soundtrack to accompany the movie.

Onto the trailer, Gambino portrays Bando Stone, a renowned musician navigating a desolate world devoid of people. He encounters a woman and her child, and together they traverse a dystopian, post-apocalyptic landscape filled with giant squids and ominous emu-like birds. The film currently does not have a release date.

If unfamiliar, Glover began his latest musical endeavor, which he has hinted may be his last under the Childish Gambino moniker, in April. During a discussion on his Gilga project, he announced two new Childish Gambino albums. The first album, an updated version of his surprise release 3.15.20, quietly released in March 2020, was reissued in May under its original title, Atavista.

He has also announced dates for The New World Tour, an extensive tour across North America, Europe, Australia, and New Zealand, set to begin in August.

“I’m really excited to be here but I wanted to get some things off my chest first,” he said. “This isn’t personal but I just feel like I should have more BET awards. I’m serious. It’s the Black Entertainment Television Awards. How much more entertaining do I have to do? Because it’s just the math of the fact. It doesn’t really make sense. I have more Grammys than Will Smith, which makes no sense, but I have the same amount of BET awards as Sam Smith. Does that make sense to you guys? Me and Sam Smith are neck and neck at the Black Entertainment Television… If I have to do ‘Baby Boy’ or something, just let me know. I’ll have Jonathan Majors put me in a headlock, shave my head, I’ll do it.”
