Second Official Trailer for Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island
Paramount has debuted a second new trailer for Martin Scorsese's Shutter Island today on Apple. This new version features a few of the same scenes we'd seen in the original trailer plus plenty more we haven't seen yet. It also doesn't spoil any of the twists and turns anymore, thankfully. The only other major change is the release date - from October to February of next year (as we already reported). Despite all that, I still think this looks incredible. It's no B-rate thriller, this looks fantastic, like it could've been one of this year's best. I've got very high hopes for this, Scorsese is brilliant, and I expect nothing less for Shutter Island.
Must Watch: Jason Reitman's Up in the Air Theatrical Trailer
Paramount has debuted the second theatrical trailer for Jason Reitman's Up in the Air following the first initial teaser trailer that hit a few weeks back. Up in the Air has become a festival sensation at both Telluride and Toronto and will also play at the Aspen, Mill Valley, Rome, London, and Austin Film Festivals. If you haven't been satisfied with that many films this awards season, then this is the one you've been waiting for. Up in the Air is director Jason Reitman's best yet and is a fantastic film full of great performances. However, I need to warn everyone, this trailer gives away a lot. Stick with the teaser only if you want to stay fresh!
Don't Watch: Dwayne Johnson in the Tooth Fairy Trailer
Wow, this looks bad, bad, bad. Not as bad as All About Steve or Old Dogs, but pretty damn bad. Fox has debuted the first official trailer for Tooth Fairy over on Yahoo. This stars Dwayne Johnson as a Tooth Fairy (ugh) as well as Ashley Judd, Julie Andrews, and Billy Crystal. Unsurprisingly this looks a lot like The Santa Clause (maybe because the guy directing it also directed The Santa Clause 2 and 3), but unfortunately not the least bit entertaining. I'm sure this will make a lot of money and a bunch of people will enjoy it, but man, it just looks terrible. Not my cup o' tea by a long shot. Check out the trailer if you really want to see it.
Sylvester Stallone Has a Death Wish, Plus Cliffhanger Sequel?
There are two action stars who are probably immortal. One is now the Governor of Caliornia and he doesn't like "economic girly-men" while the other is still very much an action star. His name is Sylvester Stallone. With his next venture The Expendables not too far off (set for release next August) and yet another sequel in the Rambo series on the horizon as well, Stallone isn't showing any signs of slowing down. He recently took the time to talk to Empire about the possibility of his involvement in a remake of the 1970's exploitation film Death Wish, potentially a sequel to Cliffhanger, and the status of the biopic about poet Edgar Allen Poe.
Must Watch: First Official Trailer for The Crazies Remake
Overture Films has debuted the first official trailer The Crazies remake directed by Breck Eisner in high def over on Apple today and can be seen below. This stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker, Joe Anderson, Joe Reegan, and a whole town full of crazies. I actually think this trailer looks pretty damn good, despite it being a remake without one of the strongest directors. Though I should note that George Romero had nothing to do with this remake at all. I don't think it's going to be as good as the original and it's not going to be one of the best movies of next year, but it doesn't look terrible. Check it out!
Must Watch: Second New Full Trailer for Fantastic Mr. Fox
Fox has debuted a second full-length trailer for Wes Anderson's Fantastic Mr. Fox tonight on Apple. The very first trailer hit way back in July, but I think this second trailer is a definite improvement over that one. There are some very interesting quotes used in this, too. It definitely does look like nothing we've ever seen before, that's for sure. While I love Clooney, his voice just doesn't fit in this. I don't know if it's Anderson's odd recording tactics or that it's just not the right fit, but either way it's one a few things I'm still hesitant about. I'm still expecting to go in and just love this, so stay tuned for my thoughts sometime soon. Enjoy!
Official Trailer for Adam Salky's Sundance Dramedy 'Dare'
Image Entertainment has debuted the trailer on Apple for Adam Salky's Dare, a coming-of-age teenage drama from Sundance earlier this year. Dare stars the always beautiful Emmy Rossum (seen above right), Zach Gilford (seen above left), and Ashley Springer as three high school friends who all take things a bit too far. It's a kinky and quirky dramedy (and I'm using those words accurately this time) that I don't think is for everyone, but it is a good indie film. I saw it at Sundance and just started thinking about it again recently because its grown on me quite a bit over the last 9 months. If you're curious, then check it out below.
Must Watch: Teaser Trailer for A Nightmare on Elm Street!
New Line has debuted the first teaser trailer for A Nightmare on Elm Street tonight on MySpace, which you can see below in all of its high def glory. Although this is a remake from the (in)famous Platinum Dunes (responsible for the recent Friday the 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes), it actually looks great. It looks dark, thrilling, beautifully stylized, and possibly more intense than the original, although I've got to be careful saying that. I'm not the biggest fan of this franchise, but I will be seeing this in theaters and going through as many of the originals as I can. Without further ado, check out the brand new teaser trailer below!
Second Full-Length Trailer for Disney's A Christmas Carol
No more than two weeks after Disney finally put the first teaser trailer for Robert Zemeckis' A Christmas Carol online, they've released a second full-length theatrical trailer for the movie (via Apple). I'm sure this footage will look a lot better in 3D, but it still looks like a wild ride. I'm still looking forward to this, more so to see the darker version of Charles Dickens' story, but now I'm bit concerned. The later half of this trailer either has Scoorge flying through the air or riding on a giant icicle, which makes me believe there's going to be a lot of 3D gimmicks that involve flying and sliding. Anyway, I'm sure it'll still be entertaining. Thoughts?
Indie Trailer Sunday: Pawel Borowski's Polish Thriller 'Zero'
Continuing our new Indie Trailer Sunday tradition, today's new trailer is for a Polish thriller called Zero. It's the latest film from Polish filmmaker Pawel Borowski (of the short I Love You previously). Zero is 24 hours in the lives of a few people in a city and is a complete loop. I don't fully understand the concept, but I have a feeling it might be like an extension of Gaspar Noé's Irreversible, where the film takes the narrative and twists it in a more artistic and weird way. That said, this trailer is absolutely brilliant, and thanks to Twitch, you can check it out below. Although it doesn't have subtitles, it's still really awesome to watch.
New Official Trailer for Denzel Washington's The Book of Eli
Warner Brothers has just debuted a second full-length trailer for The Book of Eli today on Yahoo. We last debuted the teaser trailer for this during Comic-Con back in July. The Book of Eli stars Denzel Washington, Gary Oldman, Mila Kunis, Michael Gambon, Ray Stevenson, and Tom Waits. This still looks as awesome as it did a few months ago - I've got high hopes for it, which is odd for a mid-January movie. It's got a lot of action, I love the gritty, western style of it, and I love everything else about this, especially the cast. It should be pretty damn fun and I can't wait to kick of 2010 with a great movie like this. Anyway, check it out below!
Indie Trailer Sunday: Auf Der Heide's Van Diemen's Land
A second trailer has debuted for Jonathan Auf Der Heide's Van Diemen's Land, the Australian thriller that has been hiding in the darkness for a while now. We first featured a shorter teaser trailer for this same film back in May (while I was in Cannes) as I was first told about it at the time. The film is now showing at Fantastic Fest next week where I'll finally be seeing it and will have some feedback on it. Van Diemen's Land is about cannibalism during the early 1800s, so tread with caution. The title pertains to an actual piece of Australian wilderness known as Van Diemen's Land, referring to the island of Tasmania. Check it out!
Indie Trailer Sunday: Andrea Arnold's Festival Hit Fish Tank
With the Toronto Film Festival coming to an end this weekend, I thought it'd be the perfect time to feature the official UK trailer for Andrea Arnold's Fish Tank. I first saw this film during Cannes (read my review) and enjoyed it immensely. I've been following it and supporting it as much as I can ever since. I saw it again in Telluride, where I brought a few friends including Peter Sciretta from SlashFilm and Jason Reitman, who both enjoyed it as well. Fish Tank is about a rebellious teenage girl in England whose life changes when her mom brings home a new guy that she can't decide whether she wants as her dad or her boyfriend. Enjoy!
Must Watch: Badass Trailer for Michael Caine's Harry Brown!
Whoa! You thought John Travolta looked like a badass in From Paris with Love? Just wait until you see Michael Caine kicking some thug ass in this trailer for Harry Brown! A few of you may remember seeing some photos from this way back in February. A trailer appeared on the official website recently and it pretty much confirms exactly what I thought - this looks awesome. Unfortunately I missed seeing it in Toronto, but hope to catch it sometime very soon. It looks like Michael Caine is bringing us his version of Death Wish at the age of 76. Like the quote in the trailer, this proves he can still kick plenty of ass, no matter how old he is!
Second Full Teaser for Fox's Percy Jackson & the Olympians
A second longer teaser trailer for Fox's Percy Jackson & the Olympians: The Lightning Thief has arrived. It apparently was found on the Wolverine DVD and it's the teaser they should've played in front of Harry Potter. If you remember back during the summer, this first teaser trailer was attached to Half-Blood Prince, and because it was so Potter-like and vague, it left audiences confused, especially because not that many people are familiar with this series of books. However, I'll admit that I'm now much more curious, enough to call it worth watching. I'm not a fan of director Chris Columbus, but this looks like it'll be fun?
