This week, a bunch of books took their first big steps toward the screen. Here’s a roundup of the teasers and trailers that dropped between this week.

‘Summerwater’

AMC announced a new British murder mystery is coming to Acorn TV by releasing a trailer for the new series, “Summerwater.” Based on the novel by Sarah Moss, the series follows groups of people getting away from the hustle of daily life in a copse of cabins in remote Scotland. Each is wrapped up in their own concerns, but tensions rise as they all begin to notice something isn’t quite right with one of the families. Starring Shirley Henderson, Dougray Scott and Valene Kane, the series premieres on Acorn TV on May 25.

‘Off Campus’ Season 1

Prime Video released the first trailer for the sexy college romp “Off Campus. Based on the bestselling book series by Elle Kennedy, the stories center on the love lives of elite hockey team members. Ella Bright, Belmont Cameli, Mika Abdalla, Antonio Cipriano and Jalen Thomas Brooks star in the series.

All episodes will be available on Prime Video on May 13.

‘De Gaulle: Tilting Iron/De Gaulle: The Sovereign Edge’

Pathe released the trailer for the double-feature biopics of former French President Charles de Gaulle. The twin films—“De Gaulle: Tilting Iron” and “De Gaulle: The Sovereign Edge”—tells the story of the then-general during his efforts to overcome the Nazis in World War II. The films are adapted from Julian Jackson’s book “A Certain Idea of France: The Life of Charles de Gaulle” and star Simon Abkarian as de Gaulle, Simon Russell Beale as Winston Churchill and Niels Schneider as Philippe Leclerc. 

The films don’t yet have a U.S. release date, but “Tilting Iron” is set to have its world premiere at the Cannes Film Festival next month.

‘Clayface’

DC Studios released a bloody and disturbing teaser for “Clayface,” the first horror film from the comic book studio.

Tom Rhys Harries stars as an up-and-coming actor whose face is brutally disfigured in a knife attack. He undergoes an experimental medical procedure to repair his appearance, but soon finds some unexpected and horrific side effects.

Directed by James Watkins, the film oozes into theaters Oct. 23.

‘The Vampire Lestat’

After months of teasers and music videos, AMC finally released the first full trailer for the third season of “Interview with the Vampire,” featuring Lestat in his rockstar era. The third season of the series—renamed “The Vampire Lestat”—follows the fallout after Lestat (Sam Reid) tells the world he’s a vampire and creates a public persona. 

Based on the Vampire Chronicles series by Anne Rice, “The Vampire Lestat” is set to premiere on AMC on June 7.

‘Silo’ Season 3

Apple TV released its first teaser for the third season of “Silo,” showing that, for the first time, the sci-fi series is going to delve into the events that led to the seeming collapse of society. 

Though the series is venturing back hundreds of years before the timeframe of Season 1 and 2, Juliette, played by Rebecca Ferguson, is still a primary focus of Season 3. The teaser includes clips of her and the settlers in her dystopian society interspersed with characters from the past. 

“Silo,” which is based on the series of novels by Hugh Howey, also stars Colin Hanks, Common, Harriet Walter, Jessica Brown Findlay and Steve Zahn. Season 3 debuts on Apple TV on July 3.

‘Practical Magic 2’

The trailer for the eagerly anticipated sequel to the 1998 romantasy film “Practical Magic” dropped Monday. Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman return in “Practical Magic 2” as sisters Sally and Gillian Owens. The Owens women are bound by a family curse that dooms the men who love them.

The first film was adapted from the book of the same name by Alice Hoffman, while the sequel is based on Hoffman’s “The Book of Magic.”

The film will arrive in theaters on Sept. 11.

‘Rogue Trooper’

The first teaser trailer for the adult animated comic-based movie “Rogue Trooper” was released this week after years of development. The film is based on a comic strip from the weekly British comic magazine 2000 AD written by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons. 

It focuses on a so-called “genetic infantryman” seeking revenge against a traitor. The film is directed by Duncan Jones and stars Hayley Atwell, Jack Lowden, Asa Butterfield and Sean Bean. No release date has been announced.

‘Virginia Woolf’s Night & Day’

It’s been a while, but we can welcome Virginia Woolf back to the big screen in an adaptation of her second novel, “Night & Day.” The trailer shows filmmaker Tina Gharavi’s more comedic take on the 1919 story about Katharine Hilbery (Haley Bennett), a young woman who dreams of being an astronomer but is hampered by societal expectations of marriage and a woman’s role in life. 

Bennett stars opposite Jennifer Saunders and Timothy Spall (who play her parents), and wannabe suitors Jack Whitehall and Elyas M’Barek. 

The film doesn’t have a U.S. release date but is set to hit theaters in Britain on June 19.
