Must Watch: Official Trailer for Cruise & Diaz's Knight & Day
Fox has finally launched the first Knight & Day trailer online at E! Online. A few of you might have seen this over the weekend in front of Avatar, but for everyone else, I highly suggest you check this out. It's an action comedy, mixing Tom Cruise-style intense action (reminiscent of Eagle Eye or something) with the stupid humor of Cameron Diaz. As much as I hate Diaz, I have to admit that this looks pretty damn fun. I love that Cruise just keeps popping up in the most badass ways. Like Peter from SlashFilm said, it's not the comedy that makes me want to see this, it's the action. Looking forward to seeing the second trailer, too!

Peter Jackson is Bringing Mortal Engines to the Big Screen?
We've been wondering what Peter Jackson would direct next following The Lovely Bones. It could be that Dambusters movie or Temeraire, or something entirely different. Stuff.co.nz (via SlashFilm) is reporting a scoop that Jackson is secretly working on adapting the Mortal Engines series of fantasy novels written by Philip Reeve. There are four books in the series and Jackson is said to be working on adapting the first one. The paper wasn't able to get in touch with Jackson for confirmation, but they do say he's had the rights to the books for some time, so it's possible this is true. And if it turns out true, I'll be very excited to see this.

Watch This: First Official Trailer for The Karate Kid Remake
Okay, here we go. Sony has debuted the first official trailer for The Karate Kid remake starring Jaden Smith as the kid and Jackie Chan as Mr. Han, the Mr. Miyagi like mentor he meets. Yes, technically I think they're using Kung Fu in this and not Karate, so complain all you want about the title, but I think Sony would rather get complaints than lose money at the box office. Let me be the first to say that honestly this doesn't look that bad. I even just watched the original Karate Kid a few days ago and Jaden looks like the same grumpy kid as Ralph Macchio. While it definitely won't top the original, it could be pretty fun. Enjoy?

Trailer for Adam Green's Stuck-on-a-Ski-Lift Thriller 'Frozen'
Anchor Bay Films has debuted the first official trailer for Adam Green's Frozen, the movie about the three people who get "trapped" on a ski lift. We featured the first poster for Frozen just last week as well, so you might remember hearing about it then. Although I've heard good things about this, as a skier myself, I was a bit worried it would be too cheesy (kind of like how Cliffhanger is all a bunch of BS if you're a rock climber). But this actually looks good, I'm glad they kept them stuck for more than just one day because overnight on a ski lift would be a breeze. I'm looking forward to seeing this at Sundance. What does everyone else think?

Must Watch: Hit-Girl Gets Her Own Red Band Kick-Ass Trailer
Now this is why I love Hit-Girl so damn much! Although the movie Kick-Ass is about the kid named Dave Lizewski who becomes the costumed hero known as Kick-Ass, he meets some other characters along the way (including Christopher Mintz-Plasse who plays a hero called Red Mist). However, one of the craziest people he comes across is an 12-year-old girl named Hit-Girl played by Chloe Moretz. And yes, she kicks serious ass. If you've been wondering why this is going to be Rated-R, then here's a few reasons. Matthew Vaughn does not cut back on bit on the violence and it's gruesome but completely awesome. Watch this right now!

Meet Gru's Minions in a Third Despicable Me Teaser Trailer
Okay, now I'm just getting confused. It seems like Universal is slowly trying to introduce different elements of the movie and bits and pieces of the story through multiple teaser trailers for their new animated comedy Despicable Me starring Steve Carell. This is the third teaser trailer for the movie since July (the second one hit last month). However, this teaser is only used to introduce us to Gru's little, yellow Minions who, I guess, will be helping Gru steal the moon. While there are only two of them in this trailer, there is an "entire army" of them in the movie. Although I hated the last two teasers, this is starting to look a little bit better.

Watch the Trailer for Taika Waititi's New Sundance Film 'Boy'
I'm a bit hesitant about featuring this since I don't like watching trailers for Sundance films before going to Sundance, but I thought why the hell not. Boy is the new film from New Zealand comedian / filmmaker Taika Waititi, better known as Taika Cohen, who directed Eagle vs Shark in 2007 (read my review). Quiet Earth, who was the first to find the trailer, just emailed me about it, as I've been looking forward to seeing Taiki's follow-up to Eagle vs Shark. It was announced a few weeks ago that Boy would be premiering at the Sundance Film Festival in January. After watching this trailer, I definitely can't wait to see this there. Enjoy!

Sundance Adds 3 More New Films to the Exciting 2010 Line-Up
In what Anne Thompson calls a "surprise last minute move," Sundance has announced today the addition of three new world premieres. It's a surprise because Sundance doesn't usually add any last minute films after the line-up has already been revealed. However, I remember they added Hamlet 2 last minute as well, and last year (2009) they added Sam Rockwell's The Winning Season late. "When the opportunity to screen the latest films from three extremely innovative storytellers presented itself, we knew we could not deny our audiences," said John Cooper, Director of the Sundance Film Festival. Read on to find out what they are!

Rumor: DC Comics Wants Hawkman to Get His Own Movie?
Oh no, even more unnecessary superhero movies? According to Pajiba, DC Comics and Warner Brothers are developing a Hawkman movie that is being described as "part Indiana Jones, part Da Vinci Code and part Ghost." Not only does that not make much sense anyway, but I don't see how a Hawkman movie could be as good as any of those. Besides his flying harness (that's made of "special Nth metal that allows" him to fly), Hawkman is an archaeologist by trade and uses ancient weapons from the museum of which he is curator of in his crimefighting efforts. This sounds like a big joke, which is why we're reporting it as a rumor for now.

Second Teaser Poster for Chris Nolan's Inception Discovered
Last week the first teaser poster for Christopher Nolan's Inception with Leonardo DiCaprio was found on a new viral site for the movie located at: YourMindistheSceneoftheCrime.com. The mini-game called Mind Crime allows users to make a maze and play through the maze in a virtual city. If you were to publish a link and then play the game through that link, you'd find that the "asset" revealed at the end was this second poster - but we don't have a high res version. This time there is only a smaller version of the poster available (see below) but it still looks great. I love the look and design of this, can't wait for the second trailer, too!

Watch This: First Teaser Trailer for Fox's Marmaduke Movie
This is one of those short teaser trailers that's designed to do nothing more than introduce you to the main character and that's it. We get to see about 10 seconds of actual footage and while the dog looks good, Owen Wilson's voice doesn't sound that great. Fox has debuted the teaser trailer (via Yahoo) for Marmaduke starring an actual, live Great Dane this time (instead of a CGI one). If you saw Marley & Me, this is almost like deja vu, at least until you realize that Owen Wilson is actually voicing Marmaduke and not just helping the pup grow into a dog. Despite all the names attached to this, I'm still interested in it. What about you?

What's in Store for the '10s? The '90s, Bloat, & a Renaissance
The aughts are coming to a close. And what better time than now to look forward, over the crest of 2010, into the next decade? What will the '10s bring to the silver screen? What legacy have the past ten years left for them to follow -- or veer away from? This, of course, is the way of the soothsayer, reading fortunes via palms and tea leaves, but from where I'm sitting, a tempest is brewing. A tempest that's poised to make landfall during the decade to come.
The last ten years in film, more specifically the latter aughts, have been defined by the continuous, endless
