Official Trailer for Clint Eastwood's Invictus Debuts Online!
Is this 2009's Best Picture? Warner Brothers has debuted the official trailer for Clint Eastwood's Invictus tonight on Apple in HD. I think with Eastwood directing you never know what to expect (especially for Gran Torino), but this looks like it promises to be quite an incredible film. Invictus stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon (who we also saw earlier today in Green Zone) as rugby player Francois Pienaar. At first glance, it looks like Freeman should be getting an Oscar nomination out of this, as should Eastwood. Let's just hope his pacing isn't off in this one. Without further ado, check out the Invictus trailer!
Must Watch: Official Trailer for Paul Greengrass' Green Zone
After delaying the release for a few months, Universal has finally debuted the first official trailer for Green Zone, directed by Paul Greengrass and starring Matt Damon, Jason Isaacs, Greg Kinnear, Brendan Gleeson, and Amy Ryan. This is the first we've heard about this project since the first photo arrived last July. And surprisingly it looks a lot better than I was expecting. I guess I should trust in Paul Greengrass - he usually always delivers a solid action film, especially when paired with Matt Damon (hint, hint). Anyway, this trailer has now made Green Zone one of my most anticipated movies to see next March, so be sure to check it out!
Watch This: Stunning Samurai Sci-Fi Trailer The Cup of Tears
I don't exactly know what's going on in this, but I must thank Quiet Earth for finding this beautiful trailer and sending it my way. Tonight I'm featuring the trailer for Gary Shore's The Cup of Tears, a gorgeous CGI hybrid samurai sci-fi movie being made in Ireland. This was shot on the Red camera in Slovenia and is simply referred to as a "visually rich modern fairytale." That's all you really need to know before watching this, just let the visuals take you in from there. It looks kind of like a stunning combination of Sin City, an anime, and Speed Racer, in a way I suppose. Really, I don't know what else to say, so just check this out!
Indie Trailer Sunday: Hal Holbrook in That Evening Sun Trailer
Earlier this week I was introduced to a small genre of film that I didn't know existed - Southern Gothic. If you're unsure of what exactly that means, like I was at first, just check out this trailer and you'll completely understand. Russ from SlashFilm recently pointed out this trailer for That Evening Sun that stars Hal Holbrook, Ray McKinnon, and Mia Wasikowska (who plays Alice in Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland). It looks like Hal Holbrook can still deliver an oustanding performance. I was moved by his work in Into the Wild and it looks like this will be great thanks to him as well. Anyway, I've said enough, just watch this.
Another Great New Trailer for The Men Who Stare at Goats
Overture Films has debuted a second new trailer today (on YouTube) for The Men Who Stare at Goats starring George Clooney and Ewan McGregor. Although I didn't like this movie at all (I saw it back at the Toronto Film Festival), I will continue to support it. Overture knows how to cut one hell of a trailer and the first one and this one are both great trailers. But be warned, they're a bit deceptive, as this isn't the all-out comedy you're probably expecting it to be. It's not a terrible movie by any means, Clooney and McGregor actually do a good job, it's just not that funny at all. But that's just my opinion, so check it out and enjoy!
First Short Teaser Trailer for Nic Cage's Season of the Witch
Another Halloween-specific trailer has hit today. Lionsgate has debuted a short teaser for Season of the Witch starring Nicolas Cage over on IGN. You may remember hearing about this movie already because we featured some photos from it last year. This teaser is only 30 seconds long, but it gives us a glimpse at the tone and style and a bit of the creepy story, which involves Cage taking that sweet young witch seen in the beginning to be killed (or something like that). It doesn't look bad but I guess it just doesn't look that good either. Not sure why, maybe it's Cage's hair, maybe it's the horrific tone, or the weird creatures. Thoughts?
Must Watch: Second Trailer for Joe Johnston's The Wolfman!
Just in time for Halloween, Universal has debuted a second new trailer for Joe Johnston's The Wolfman on Apple. This trailer is considerably different from the first trailer from July, featuring less dialogue, one contemporary rock song running throughout, and a focus more on the monster and the intensity (and less on the story). I just really hope this is going to be rated R in the end, because after watching this trailer, I want as intense of a frickin' Wolfman movie as I can get. Considering I've loved just about every movie that Hugo Weaving has been in as well, I expect to love this one, too. Anyway, check out the new trailer below!
New Full-Length TV Trailer for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes
We haven't really seen new footage from Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes since the first trailer debuted way back in May, but that changes today. TheMovieBox has premiered a new TV trailer for Sherlock Holmes (as in, shown on TV, not in theaters). It's two minutes long and it definitely contains a lot of great footage we haven't seen before. The closer we get to December, the more excited I get for this. And this new trailer definitely gets my blood pumpin'. It looks like it has a great mix of action and intensity as well as comedy. Warner Brothers may have the next Pirates of the Caribbean on their hands! Check out the trailer below.
Must Watch: Great Trailer for Yuen Woo-Ping's True Legend
From China comes True Legend (aka Su Qi-Er), the latest martial arts epic from Yuen Woo-Ping, the fight choreographer on all three Matrix movies and Kill Bill. The film stars Michelle Yeoh (who you'll recognize from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) and Man Cheuk Chiu as the lead. IMDb lists David Carradine as part of the cast as well as Jay Chou, who is playing Kato in The Green Hornet, as the "God of Martial Arts." It's a tale, kind of like Gladiator, about a wealthy man who loses everything and becomes a true legend, a "King of Beggars." The fights in this look awesome and it reminds me a lot of Jet Li's Fearless. Check it out!
Awesome Trailer for Russian Flying Car Film Black Lightning
Wow this looks frickin' awesome! Black Lightning is a Russian film produced by Wanted director Timur Bekmambetov. We last wrote about it back in March when we featured some of the early concept art for the film, which is about an old school flying Volga. Timur apparently said at one point that this is the "Russian response [to] Transformers and Batman," which means this should be very interesting to see. Since then they've released a few teaser trailers and now, thanks to Quiet Earth, the first full-length trailer has arrived, unfortunately still in Russian. But damn does it look great, especially for a Russian feature. Check it out!
Indie Trailer Sunday: Stop-Animated Indie 'Mary and Max'
I'm excited today to feature the newest official trailer (via New York Times) for Adam Elliot's Mary and Max, an incredibly unique and original stop animated film from Australia. You may remember hearing the name before, as this was the Opening Night film at Sundance this year (read my thoughts on it), where it gained a lot of acclaim, but never got picked up. The more I think back to it, the more I remember loving it. Watching this trailer again especially reminds me that it's one of those great indies that you've never seen anything like and probably won't see again. So without further ado, check out the Mary and Max trailer.
Don't Watch: Trailer for Jackie Chan in The Spy Next Door
There's a reason why this is being dumped in January - because it looks as bad as if not worse than the atrocious Paul Blart: Mall Cop. The Spy Next Door is a new comedy from Lionsgate (wait, I thought they made horror movies?) starring Jackie Chan and, well, a bunch of annoying kids. This looks like it may be one of the worst movies of next year. It's got a bunch of stupid CGI spy toys, the obligatory and racist fight at Benihana, all kinds of cheesy physical comedy and other stupid gags. Really, this is the bottom of the barrel of the comedy world. But just like Paul Blart, it's probably going to a lot of money. Damn you, Lionsgate!
Watch This: Official US Trailer for Almodóvar's Broken Embraces
Sony Pictures Classics has debuted the US trailer for Pedro Almodóvar's Broken Embraces starring the gorgeous Penélope Cruz. This already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and was released in Spain back in March and is just now being brought to US theaters. If you're a fan of Almodóvar, you'll probably already planning on seeing this, as it lives up to most of his past films. If you're not a fan of Almodóvar and are just interested in checking out a beautifully colored (a Pedro trademark) romantic romp through Spain, then check this out. I wasn't the biggest fan of the film, but then again I'm not that familiar with Almodóvar.
Adrienne Shelly's Serious Moonlight Trailer with Meg Ryan
Magnolia Pictures has debuted the official trailer for Serious Moonlight, the last screenplay written by the late Adrienne Shelly (Sudden Manhattan, Waitress) directed by her friend and actress Cheryl Hines. This comedy stars Meg Ryan, Timothy Hutton, Kristen Bell, and Justin Long, all of whom are playing roles which they don't seem to fit (where was the casting director on this?). I wanted to give this a chance, but sadly, it just looks bad, bad, bad. And I'm guessing that has to do more with Cheryl Hines' directing than it does Adrienne Shelly's script. And also no one likes Meg Ryan anymore and she isn't funny in this at all.
Heartbreaking First Trailer for Lasse Hallström's Dear John
Get ready to cry watching this. Sony has debuted the trailer for Dear John in high def on Moviefone. This stars Channing Tatum, Amanda Seyfried, and Richard Jenkins, and is about two young lovers split apart by the Iraq war who keep in touch via letters. It's an adaption of a Nicholas Sparks novel, which means lots of women are going to love it. There are some beautiful shots in this and Richard Jenkins, oh man, he looks like he could get an Oscar for this role. I also don't normally like Channing Tatum, but for the first time, this trailer actually makes me wonder if he can actually act? I guess we'll find out when this hits next February.
