You can watch the trailer at the link below:
Trailer
The trailer is one minute and fifteen seconds in total.
“The thrilling and terrifying journey of the Winchester brothers continues as SUPERNATURAL enters its eleventh season. Sam (Jared Padalecki) and Dean (Jensen Ackles) have spent their lives on the road, battling every kind of supernatural threat. Over the years, after countless bloody adventures, they have faced everything from the yellow-eyed demon that killed their mother to vampires, ghosts, shapeshifters, angels and fallen gods. With the help of allies — both human and supernatural — they’ve discovered that every victory comes with a price. In the show’s tenth season, the Winchester brothers faced their most personal threat yet. The all-powerful Mark of Cain threatened to consume Dean, turning him into one of the monsters he has spent his life hunting. Meanwhile, a formidable witch, Rowena (Ruth Connell), rose to power to claim her position at the right hand of the King of Hell, Crowley (Mark Sheppard). Once Rowena revealed herself to be Crowley’s mother, the King was forced to choose between his family and the Winchesters. All while Sam, with the help of Castiel (Misha Collins), Crowley, and some unlikely allies, wages a desperate battle to save Dean from the Mark of Cain. Will Sam be able to find a cure for the Mark in time? Will it be enough to save his brother? And a more frightening prospect – does Dean want to be saved? SUPERNATURAL is produced by Wonderland Sound and Vision in association with Warner Bros. Television, with executive producers Jeremy Carver (“Being Human”), Robert Singer (“Midnight Caller”) and Phil Sgriccia. Eric Kripke created the series and serves as executive consultant, along with McG.”
The next season of Supernatural premiers on October 7th.

After the concerns that were raised when filming for Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens took place at Skellig Michael in the Republic of Ireland last year, it was a surprise a few months ago to hear that Lucasfilm and Disney were negotiating with the Irish film board again to film in the country again.
Heather Humphreys, Minister for Arts, Heritage the Gaeltacht, is the person who has given permission for Star Wars to film at Skellig Michael again.
This shooting will be for Star Wars Episode VIII.
Concerns were raised last year in regard to the environment, including the wildlife and archaeological features. The filming crew will therefore only use certain parts of the island within the month of September.
Star Wars Episode VIII will officially be released on May 26th, 2017.
