Yesterday in a report from Deadline, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos, alongside the governor of
New Mexico and the mayor of Albuquerque, announced that the streaming service will boost its presence
in the state by expanding its ABQ Studios and committing to an additional $1 billion
in production spending. The Studio expansion will add 300 acres to the company’s existing studios,
located in Albuquerque’s Mesa Del Sol area. The new investment will create an estimated
1,000 production jobs in New Mexico over the next ten years, along with 1,467 construction jobs to
complete the expansion. It will make it one of the largest high-tech and sustainable film production
facilities in North America. The plan, of course, is for filming to begin soon on Stranger Things
4 in Albuquerque as Netflix brings a bulk of its signature series there after previously shooting
in Atlanta these past several weeks. Noah Schnapp did previously mention on his video in October
that he will begin shooting “in the next month or so,” and specifically mentioned that he couldn’t
wait to film with his fellow cast mates. With episodes being out of order, and with production
still going underway in Atlanta, I wonder if this means that we could see Will Byers return to the
town of Hawkins and reunite with Dustin, Lucas, and the rest of the kids and teens. As we head
into the 11th week of filming, we are closer to seeing Eleven and the Byers pretty soon
either in Atlanta or in New Mexico, and hopefully there will be more set leaks. Speaking of which,
this report from last night states there will be some interesting activity happening, maybe related
to the serial killer, Victor Creel, especially since they are bringing a Forensic person into
the scene. I do wonder who will be these nameless characters, although they could just be extras.
Now onto today’s juicy topic. Last week before the Stranger Things social media accounts revealed the
new characters, there came a report from the news outlet “Westword” about the struggles that the
licensing company “Consonance Publishing” went through this year. The article is basically an
origin story of how Jeff Kanan and Nick Sullivan of Consonance Publishing met and created the
studio, and how they were forced to close down for 3 months in the early days of the quarantine.
The portion of the report that captured attention was the following: “Still, Sullivan and Kanan have
made ends meet with projects from both the studio and the publishing company,
including re-mixing and re-mastering the Flobots debut EP, Platypus; recording Brad Corrigan in
Denver for the new Dispatch album, Phase 1; and mixing trailers for Stranger Things 4,
Catch 22, Sound of Metal and The Secret: Dare to Dream. The company has also placed songs by
local acts Safe Boating Is No Accident and Tana Victoria in the new Blumhouse Productions/Amazon
Studios film Nocturne.” So it looks like the company works for studios in licensing music and
soundtracks for the advertisers of their products. In other words, they create the trailers,
or at the very least, they help edit them. A lot of people online took this particular paragraph as
confirming that a trailer for season 4 is on the way, but does it really say? There’s not a lot
of context offered in the article, which you can read in the video description, but it could also
mean that they helped in the official announcement video for Stranger Things 4 or the Valentine’s Day
teaser that revealed Hopper’s fate. Or, they assisted in creating both videos
and will continue doing so for the rest of the advertising campaign for Stranger Things season 4.
If this does indeed mean that they are currently working on a trailer,
and it is coming soon, then in the great words of Michael Scott from The Office…
I will say this; we have seen A LOT of activity happening in regards to Stranger Things 4 these
past couple of months and especially in this month of November alone. We were initially disappointed
that not much was announced on Stranger Things Day, only a lot of Hellfire Club merchandise,
but then last Friday, we saw the new characters being announced. And this report from “Westword”
did come out on Thursday, a day before all those official reveals came from the people
who work on the show. With the year coming to an end, and following several months of no
activity for this season because of this annoying pandemic, a trailer for Stranger Things 4 will for
surely make up our whole year and will certainly be the best Christmas present ever, assuming
it drops on that day next month. It is also possible that they are working on a Super Bowl
commercial of sorts for the show, since the annual American event is a little over 2 months away.
However, don’t take my word from it, and I am not saying that a trailer will be coming soon,
hence why I am labeling this as just a rumor. But overall, even with not a whole lot of footage
shot for the season, let’s hope that there is more official information coming our way.
And that is all that we have for today. What do you think
about the production for Stranger Things 4 moving to New Mexico?
And what do you think about the possibility that we will see a trailer in the near future?
