Donald Glover has shared the trailer for his new movie Bando Stone & the New World, which he directed, starred in, and scored as Childish Gambino. In the drop-down description for the trailer, he also revealed that the song “Lithonia” will come out July 2. The trailer shows Glover—who plays the titular Bando Stone—trying to deliver mail in an abandoned town before crossing paths with one of the only other people around, played by Jessica Allain. The two decide to band together, along with Allain’s child, to survive monsters, dinosaurs, sci-fi lasers, and more. Watch it below.
Over the weekend, Glover posted an IMAX ticket stub for A Quiet Place: Day One on his Instagram and revealed that the trailer for Bando Stone and the New World would air before that movie. The film was written by Evi Wilder, produced by Glover’s creative studio GILGA in association with RCA, and executive produced by longtime creative partner Hiro Murai as well as Fam Udeorji, Chad Taylor, Ibra Ake, and Javier Alejandro. There’s no release date just yet, but Bando Stone and the New World and its soundtrack will reportedly come out this year.
Back in April, Glover revealed plans to release two more albums under his Childish Gambino alias. The first was Atavista, the self-described “finished version” of 3.15.20, the album he put out four years ago. The second will be Bando Stone and the New World, which doubles as the soundtrack to this new movie.
Later this summer, Childish Gambino will go on tour in North America, Europe, and Australia. Opening select dates on the New World Tour are Amaarae and Willow. It marks his first tour since 2019, and extends on into early next year.
