What this trailer means for Lake George
The film shows a meeting between two actors
The trailer for Lake George shows a new dynamic between Coon and Whigham. Both actors have appeared together in Fargo season 3. In this season of the TV series, Whigham played Moe Dammick and Coon played Gloria Burgle. Coon was nominated for an Emmy this season of Fargo. This show revealed how Whigham and Coon could act together on screen in a TV show, but Lake George will give the duo a chance to hit the screen together.
In terms of gender, Lake George seems to be right about what these actors do best. Fargo belongs to the detective genre, but also has an eclectic set. Lake George shows two eccentric characters thrown into a chaotic criminal situation, thus allowing both actors to play off what they are already good at. From the looks of the trailer, the two stars will go through quite a journey throughout Lake George.
Our Take on the Lake George RV
The film has a lot of promise
The only unfortunate element about Lake George is the fact that it will be released simultaneously on digital and in theaters. This will severely limit the film’s reach, as audiences will be more likely to pay to watch it at home rather than going to the theater during a busy release time. From the trailer, I think Lake George would have the potential for theatrical success if it had better timing. Hopefully audiences will still watch the film digitally and go on this wild ride with Don and Phyllis.
