Trailer: Moon

Apr 13 2009 Kommentarfunktion aus  8 views

The official trailer for the upcoming film Moon has hit the web, and it looks like the film is going to be a seriously suspenseful psychological thriller. From the few brief clips shown in the trailer, the film appears to bear a striking similarity to 2001: A Space Odyssey, Solaris and Sunshine. I’m not sure that it’ll be one to see in theaters, but I love the desolate space thrillers.

The posters for this film kind of kick ass, too.




Trailer: Terminator Salvation

Mar 3 2009 Kommentarfunktion aus  98 views

Terminator: SalvationI had my doubts about the upcoming Termainator Salvation film, but this trailer has totally sold me. Now, it looks like it’s going to blow Terminator 3 out of the water and cement the franchise’s place in the action genre. Not to mention that it’s going to have some of the best movie posters seen in years.

Also, don’t miss the new posters and still from the film, posted in the Yahoo! Movies Photo Galleries. They’ve really gone whole hog on this film’s special effects.

Trailer: The People vs George Lucas

Feb 16 2009 Kommentarfunktion aus  24 views

Scheduled for a 2010 release the documentary The People vs. George Lucas will be a courtroom-style examination of the fanaticism surrounding the Star Wars franchise… and a good old-fashion roasting of its creator.

Trailer: Wolverine

X-MEN ORIGINS: WOLVERINE HD

Fox has released a new teaser trailer for X-Men Origins: Wolverine on MySpace.com. Disappointingly, it doesn’t look like it’ll be following the Origin: The True Story of Wolverine miniseries, which is too bad, because that was one solid piece of writing. The movie, starring Hugh Jackman and Liev Schreiber, opens May 1, 2009.

Trailer: Coraline

Nov 21 2008 Kommentarfunktion aus  6 views

The latest trailer for the adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, directed by Henry Selick. It looks to be another animated classic like The Nightmare Before Christmas.

Trailer: Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince

Nov 14 2008 Kommentarfunktion aus  11 views

A longer trailer for the Half-Blood Prince has hit the interwebs, and this one is even darker than the shorter version. This film is about half a step from a Tim Burton film, which leaves me with seriously high hopes for the seventh installment.

Trailer: Watchmen

Nov 14 2008 Kommentarfunktion aus  12 views

The newest trailer for the upcoming Watchmen film has hit the web. It premiered as one of the previews played before Quantum of Solace.

The trailer itself is good enough to raise goosebumps. It honestly looks like this film might do the comic justice. But it’s also raised a bit of controversy.

In the voice over, the narrator says “The Watchmen are over” as if the name of the team of superheroes in the film were “The Watchmen,” but if that’s the case, it’s a deviation from the comic, in which the characters were split into two factions: the Minutemen and the Crimebusters.

Is this a classic case of the promotions department having no clue what the film they’re promoting is about? It would surprise me if it were, but purist around the web seem to be taking this slip up particularly hard. The matter is being debated across the blogosphere as well as in a number of forums.



Trailer: Legend of the Seeker

Aug 8 2008 Kommentarfunktion aus  87 views

Here it is, the trailer for Sam Raimi’s adaptation of Terry Goodkind’s The Sword of Truth series.

I’ve been waiting to see how this one turn outs. The fantasy genre has been very under-represented in television, and when it does turn up, its usually crap – Buffy exempt, of course. With the fantasy genre riding high at the box office, one highly-rated fantasy series could start a trend. At least, that’s what I’m hoping.

After watching the trailer, I’m even more hopeful. Not because the series it how I imagined it, but because it’s not going to be another Beast Master. And when it comes to television, that’s really the best you can hope for.

Personally, I’m praying this series pulls down Seinfeld-level ratings, encouraging other big screen directors to step up and make some television based on a few good series, like the Wheel of Time.
