Watch: Another International Trailer for Annaud's 'Black Gold' Lands

"Sultan considers the exploitation of the Yellow Belt a violation of the treaty. May god protect us all." Another shorter new international trailer has popped up on YouTube (via TMB) for Jean-Jacques Annaud's Arabian oil epic Black Gold, starring a great cast, including Mark Strong as Sultan Amar, seen above. We also featured a fantastic longer trailer for this late last year, and I've been anxiously awaiting it ever since, as it looks spectacular but I don't know when it'll arrive in US theaters. The cast includes Tahar Rahim (of A Prophet), Freida Pinto (of Slumdog Millionaire, Miral) and of course Antonio Banderas. Take a look!

Official US Trailer for 'The Front Line' - South Korea's Oscar Entry

By Alex Billington

"This is a story about three million soldiers who fought in the war, not remembering the reason anymore, and died wishing for the end of it." Well Go USA Entertainment has debuted the official US trailer via Apple for Hun Jang's South Korean war action film The Front Line, about the Korean War and the many soldiers who fought in it. This looks quite spectacular and riveting, I'm impressed. A fairly easy comparison to make, but it seems like another South Korean Saving Private Ryan, this time telling the story of their own tragic and deadly civil war. The production in this looks quite stunning, I definitely want to catch it. Watch below!

Watch: Trailer for Tobe Hooper's 'Politically Subversive' Horror 'Djinn'

By Alex Billington

I'm not looking to kick up any political dust here, but this is quite an intriguing trailer. Horror master Tobe Hooper (Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Poltergeist) shot a film in the United Arab Emirates last year called Djinn, about a couple who return from a trip to the US to discover that their apartment is haunted by a malevolent being. There were recent reports that distributor Imagenation Abu Dhabi was going to shelf the film for being "politically subversive", but new reports say it's still on track to be released this year. Italian site MovieSushi (via STYD) found the first long promo trailer, and it's honestly rather boring. Take a look!

Focus World Releasing Cuban Film 'Juan of the Dead' VOD This Year

By Alex Billington

Give this a chance! Focus Features has announced they'll release Cuban horror comedy Juan of the Dead through their "digital distribution" label Focus World. Despite its too-similar-to-Shaun-of-the-Dead title, I got to see this at Fantastic Fest last year and it's damn good, an entertaining and well-made comedy that's even a bit subversive towards Cuban government. The Focus World agreement "allows for Juan to premiere at U.S. festivals and then from April enjoy a theatrical run from a separate distributor," eventually hitting digital VOD platforms from Focus World. While I still prefer theaters, I'm glad to see this land a distributor.

Watch: Babis Makridis' Wacky Greek Sundance Film 'L' First Teaser

By Alex Billington

"Long live motorcycles!" If this new age wacky Greek cinema is your thing, then we've got something for you. Debuted by Twitch (via SlashFilm) is an early teaser trailer for Babis Makridis' new film L, another wacky Greek comedy that will be premiering at Sundance 2012 this month. If you're familiar with the Greek films Dogtooth and/or Giorgos Lanthimos' follow-up Alps, this was written by the same guy, Efthymis Filippou, who co-wrote both of those films. Which means it's just as abstract and wacky as you'd expect. A man who lives in his car gets caught up in the undeclared war between motorcycle riders and car drivers.

Watch: A Bloody Wedding in Horror Prequel '[REC] 3 Genesis' Trailer

By Alex Billington

The infection has left the building. Thanks to a debut on Bloody-Disgusting, you can now watch the official trailer for Paco Plaza's [REC] 3 Genesis with English subtitles, even though they're not really needed. We've already seen one teaser for this prequel, but this new trailer gives us a better idea of the story and location (it's a wedding!). They also definitely upped the budget and the number of infected. However, I feel like they've started to jump the shark - it's no longer found footage and it just looks like s cheesy stuck-in-one-place, surrounded-by-zombies escape movie. Who knows, it could still be awesome. Check this out!

Indie Trailer Sunday: David Gelb's 'Jiro Dreams of Sushi' Documentary

By Alex Billington

At a tiny sushi bar in a Tokyo subway... 85 year old Jiro Ono is renowned as the world's greatest sushi chef and filmmaker David Gelb has made a documentary about him. Jiro Dreams of Sushi is a doc about father and son sushi masters, continuing their legacy running their small sushi restaurant in Tokyo, all the while pursuing a quest to create the perfect piece of sushi. This looks like a wonderful doc, especially if you love sushi and the art of sushi. It also looks like a great human story about a father and son, and the honor they have together being masters of this art. As always with an Indie Trailer Sunday, this is worth watching.

Watch: New Trailer for Zhang Yimou's 'The Flowers of War' with Bale

By Alex Billington

"Stop! This is a House of the Lord!" Wrekin Hill, the US distributors for this film, have debuted a new trailer on Deadline for Zhang Yimou's The Flowers of War, starring Christian Bale. This is China's entry into the Oscars this year and is a WWII story about an American man who comes to shelter and save a convent of young girls stuck at a church in occupied Nanking, China during WWII. I got to see this film recently and it's fantastic, Bale gives an outstanding performance, and it's riveting and emotional from start to finish. This new trailer captures some of that, and it's mostly in English so you'll understand all of it. Take a look below.

Must Watch: TIFF Audience Winner 'The Raid' Full Indonesian Trailer

By Alex Billington

Oh this deserves a Must Watch no question! One of my favorite films coming out of TIFF, hell one of my favorite action films in years, was Gareth Evans' The Raid, an insanely badass Indonesian film starring Joe Taslim. As soon as my glowing review hit, they dropped a teaser trailer that many seemed to like. Now that Sony Classics has confirmed they're releasing this in US theaters next spring, Twitch has unveiled a full-length Indonesian trailer and holy sh*t you guys in for a treat. Thankfully the MPAA doesn't exist there, so this is a no-holds barred trailer showing about as much violent action as they can pack into two minutes.

Watch: Rupert Grint in First Trailer for Petter Næss's 'Into the White'

By Alex Billington

"May I introduce you to the beautiful Norwegian countryside!" Take a look at a trailer for a film I had never heard of until today, but looks pretty damn good, even compared to The Grey. It's called Into the White, directed by Norwegian Petter Næss, and is a WWII-set survival thriller. It stars an international cast lead by Rupert Grint, of Harry Potter fame, as well as Florian Lukas, David Kross, Stig Henrik Hoff and Lachlan Nieboer. It's about two groups of pilots from opposite sides who shoot each other down but must stay at the same cabin to survive. The trailer is mostly in English with some German, but it looks quite good.

Watch: First Teaser Trailer for Takashi Miike's New 'Ai To Makoto' Film

By Alex Billington

Ai To Makoto! Japanese genre legend director Takashi Miike is still on a roll, churning out film after film after film these days. Up next for him is Ai To Makoto, or The Legend of Love & Sincerity, apparently some adaptation of a manga that looks very... colorful. Twitch posted the first teaser trailer and while it's short, and features just a few quick glimpses of footage, it's considerably interesting, to say the least. Is this a musical? I'm not even sure, but apparently it's a love between two high school students. One, the troubled Makoto Taiga, is played by Satoshi Tsumabuki; and the pure, sweet Ai Satome is played by Emi Takei.

Watch: First Trailer for Upside-Down Thai Crime Noir Film 'Headshot'

By Alex Billington

"How does it feel to see the world upside down?" There's a trailer for a Thai film called Headshot that you've got to check out, mostly for the concept. Thanks to a tip from Film School Rejects, Headshot is about a hitman who gets shot in the head and wakes up seeing the world upside down. Basically, his vision is flipped, which causes him to have a completely different view on life. It looks good, and FSR's Rob Hunter likens Thai filmmaker Pen-Ek Ratanaruang to Christopher Nolan, but that's quite a bit of a stretch. I definitely do want to see this at some point. Just be warned - this trailer is NSFW as it has some sex/nudity.

Watch: Official Trailer for Action Film 'Elite Squad: The Enemy Within'

By Alex Billington

His true enemies lie within. An official US trailer has debuted for the Brazilian action film Elite Squad: The Enemy Within, the sequel to the 2007 film Elite Squad. This action-thriller has been receiving rave reviews all over and is indeed the highest grossing film in Brazil, which is pretty damn cool. The action in this looks insane and I've heard nothing but praise from everyone who has seen it at places like Fantastic Fest, Sundance and all over. The Enemy Within is directed by Jose Padilha, who's now setup in Hollywood working on the RoboCop remake. It's a kick ass trailer that will totally leave you excited to see this. Enjoy!

First International Trailer for Jean-Jacques Annaud's 'Black Gold' Epic

By Alex Billington

"You were born to rule." Wow, this looks good. Our friends at Vlicious found the first French trailer for Jean-Jacques Annaud's Saharan desert oil epic Black Gold, but don't worry, the film is entirely in English. In brief, I could describe this as Lawrence of Arabia meets There Will Be Blood, it has that kind of feel to it, and an incredible cast to go with that. Antonio Banderas leads with Mark Strong (who is in so deep a character he's hardly recognizable), featuring Freida Pinto, Tahar Rahim from Un Prophete and Corey Johnson. This really does look outstanding, I can't wait to see more. This trailer is definitely a must watch!
