Must Watch: Official Trailer for George Clooney's 'The Ides of March'
"I'll do or say anything if I believe in it, but I have to believe in the cause." Sony has unveiled an utterly fantastic new trailer for George Clooney's new movie called The Ides of March, an adaptation of the stage play by Farragut North. George Clooney stars as Governer Mike Morris and Ryan Gosling as a young, ambitions press secretary. It tells a thrilling story of a few days leading up to the Ohio presidential primary. This is pretty intense for just a trailer. The cast also includes Marisa Tomei, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Evan Rachel Wood and Paul Giamatti. I can't wait to see this, it looks fantastic, we're going to have quite the fall.

First Three Dark Posters for Andrew Niccol's Action Thriller 'In Time'
Live Forever or Die Trying. Okay, so these originally came out during Comic-Con right at the same time the trailer hit, but we never featured them, so I thought why not. Fox released a set of three posters, one official poster and two character banners, for Andrew Niccol's In Time, the sci-fi/non-sci-fi action film starring Justin Timberlake and Amanda Seyfried. The extended footage explained the concept well, basically a "future" where no one ages past 25, so they have time imprinted on their arm, that's now currency and you can indeed steal time, so JT does and shit does down. I'm not too keen on this yet, but I do love the imagery.

Watch: Teaser Trailer for Aussie Film 'The Hunter' with Willem Dafoe
"You are looking for something most believe is extinct." Another new teaser trailer discovered via SlashFilm for an Australian film announced as one of the films premiering at the Toronto Film Festival. The Hunter, directed by Daniel Nettheim, stars Willem Dafoe as Martin David, a mercenary sent from Europe by a biotech company to the Tasmanian wilderness on a dramatic hunt for the last Tasmanian Tiger. The cast includes Sam Neill and Frances O'Connor. It's described as a "powerful psychological drama" and has some incredible cinematography. Very short teaser trailer, but I'm definitely going to see this. Take a look!

Another New Red Band Trailer for Bateman/Reynold's 'The Change-Up'
Game on! Universal has debuted yet another new red band trailer last minute for The Change-Up, their upcoming role-reversal comedy starring Jason Bateman and Ryan Reynolds. This comes out in under two weeks, same weekend as Rise of the Planet of the Apes, and this isn't even the first red band trailer we've seen. Break has the new trailer and it features plenty of foul language, but I can't help but feel like this ruins all of the good jokes, especially the bit with Tatiana. The cast also includes Olivia Wilde, Leslie Mann and Alan Arkin. Given this is a big summer comedy coming up, I thought I'd post this new trailer anyway.

Rosario Dawson & Vincent Cassel Next to Join Danny Boyle's 'Trance'
More casting for Danny Boyle's new art heist, not art house, thriller Trance, that recently nabbed James McAvoy for one of the leads. Deadline reports that actress Rosario Dawson (Unstoppable, Zookeeper) and French actor Vincent Cassel (Mesrine: Killer Instinct, Black Swan) are negotiating for roles in the film, with Cassel playing one of McAvoy's accomplices. Dawson will play a woman who develops "an unusual relationship with both men," whatever that means. The project is said to be as "edgy as Shallow Grave and Trainspotting," two of Boyle's earlier films, and involves a gang of thieves and a painting heist gone wrong.

Kevin Feige Talks About Designing Mark Ruffalo's 'Hulk' in 'Avengers'
On the final day of Comic-Con, Marvel unveiled the Hulk concept art poster to complete their first series of posters for The Avengers. Many people seemed to be excited for/pleased with the new Hulk, which is a good sign, but Marvel's Kevin Feige himself has provided an update for Geoff Boucher on Hero Complex on exactly how they came to designing the new Hulk and how he's going to look more like Mark Ruffalo. He provides some great quotes about their decision making process. "Hulk is Hulk. We're not going to reinvent the wheel," Feige says. "You will be able to see Ruffalo in there. That was a big revelation for us."

Abrams Set for 'Star Trek 2', But 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' Takes Its Spot
Well this isn't anything we didn't expect, but now there's some confirmation. Deadline is reporting that now that Super 8 has earned an impressive $125 million, J.J. Abrams can finally move onto Star Trek 2 and things are in the works with the writers to finish up the script. But in the meantime, as was rumored, the release date is being pushed back until "the fourth quarter of 2012 or summer, 2013." So instead, Jon M. Chu's G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which finally seems like the real title for the G.I. Joe sequel since it wasn't actually Cobra Strikes, will be filling Star Trek's original summer release date June 29th, 2012. Read on!

Concept Art for Robert Rodriguez's New Take on Frazetta's 'Fire & Ice'
Another panel I caught at Comic-Con was Robert Rodriguez's open discussion on his upcoming slate, which included an announcement that he was re-opening the Frank Frazetta museum, so everyone could see all his gorgeous artwork in person. As part of that, Robert Rodriguez also confirmed he was working on a live-action adaptation of Frazetta's Fire and Ice, released as an animated movie in 1983. During the panel, he showed some of Frazetta's concept art that he was referencing for his movie, and it looked quite epic. Thankfully Entertainment Weekly has just posted high res copies of the artwork online for everyone to see.

Check This Out: Another Crazy Fun Official Poster for 'The Muppets'
Muppet Domination! I love that tagline. Though the first poster showing all The Muppets with legs seemed to throw everyone off, this latest official poster contains nothing but, well, Muppet Domination and a whole lot of fun (and some legs). Fandango recently debuted the latest poster for Disney's The Muppets, starring Jason Segel and Amy Adams, and it just brings a smile to my face. I'm sold on this movie pretty much purely on the nostalgic and fun factor of it, and I hope everyone else is, too. I wish we had It's here in high res so we can find our favorite Muppets. See the full poster (+trailer) below anyway. Can't wait to see this!

New Red Band Trailer for Kevin Smith's Indie Horror Film 'Red State'
"It's gunna get grown up in here." It's time to finally take a good look at the controversial new Kevin Smith movie Red State, described as a religious horror starring Michael Parks as Pastor Abin Cooper. The official red band (it's very red band for language, violence) trailer just showed up on their website CoopersDell.com, along with info about the limited theatrical release starting in August, as Parks gives an Oscar worthy performance and it needs an Academy qualifying one-week run. Say what you will, but I still think it's one of Kevin Smith's best films, and I'm not alone in thinking that. Be wary, this isn't for everyone!
