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.
Must Watch: Intense Trailer for Mel Gibson's Edge of Darkness
Warner Brothers has debuted the official trailer for Martin Campbell's Edge of Darkness starring Mel Gibson and Ray Winstone today on Yahoo. The movie is about a homicide detective who starts to investigate his own daughter's death and uncovers a secret life as well as corporate cover-up and government collusion. I love a good mystery and this just looks awesome, especially with Gibson kicking ass and Winstone being all mysterious. I really love Martin Campbell, that guy can do no wrong, and his action intensity is just second-to-none. Anyway, if you're looking for a damn good thriller to finally be very excited about, just start here!
Watch This: Trailer for Carla Gugino's Women in Trouble
Screen Media has debuted the official trailer for Women in Trouble starring the lovely Carla Gugino over on Apple. If you don't know what this is, Women in Trouble is an ensemble film about 10 women and the trouble in their lives. But these aren't ordinary women: they're strippers and call girls. Carla Gugino plays real life porn star Elektra Luxx. She's joined by other beauties including Emmanuelle Chriqui, Adrianne Palicki, Marley Shelton, and Connie Britton, and flanked by a few guys like Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Simon Baker. As sexy as this is, it kind of looks straight-to-DVD quality, but I'm still interested in checking it out.
Must Watch: Awesome Promo Trailer for The Expendables!
I've been waiting and waiting for a trailer for Sylvester Stallone's The Expendables! This isn't the official trailer, I'm sure Lionsgate won't be too happy, but damnit, it's so awesome I can't help myself! ComingSoon has posted the first promo trailer (made to sell the movie to distributors) for The Expendables, which will hit theaters next August. This badass movie stars Sly Stallone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews, Randy Couture, Steve Austin, Eric Roberts, Mickey Rourke, Brittany Murphy, Danny Trejo, Charisma Carpenter, and so many others. I don't think I need to say anything else - just fire this bad boy up & enjoy!
Worth Watching: Trailer for Joseph Gordon-Levitt's Uncertainty
I hadn't heard of this film before today, but it actually looks pretty good. Uncertainty is co-directed by Scott McGehee and David Siegel and stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt (from 500 Days of Summer), Lynn Collins (from Wolverine), and Olivia Thirlby (from Juno). That cast alone is enough to convince me to see this, but you have to check out the trailer as well. I can't tell if this is some sort of cell phone thriller, about a big turning point in their relationship, or about a girl trying to come out of the closet. I'm hoping it will all make more sense once I actually see it. Thanks to MSN for debuting the trailer today. You can check it out below.
Must Watch: Full Theatrical Trailer for Pixar's Toy Story 3!
Disney has finally debuted the full-length theatrical trailer for Toy Story 3 this morning on Yahoo. The first short teaser arrived back in May and Pixar fans (myself included) have been waiting patiently since then for a real glimpse at what we'll be seeing next summer. This trailer finally shows us what the story will be about in Toy Story 3 and it definitely looks as fun as the past two. I love the way this trailer plays, with the home video footage and nostalgic first half leading right into the exciting second half. Plus, a Spanish Buzz Lightyear? Brilliant! Those Pixar guys are as great at cutting a trailer as they are at making movies.
Indie Trailer Sunday: Antonio Campos' Intense 'Afterschool'
Today's indie trailer is for a film by New York filmmaker Antonio Campos. It's called Afterschool and premiered at Cannes in 2008. You may recognize Michael Stuhlbarg as the headmaster because he stars in the Coen Brothers' A Serious Man. This is about an internet-addicted prep-school student who captures the drug overdose of two girls on video. That doesn't sound that intriguing, but this trailer is pretty intense, and by the end of it I was sold. I really want to see this, I'm amazed it's slipped through the cracks until now. You may think you know what's coming, but it seems like it has some big twists. Check out the trailer below!
Must Watch: Second Official Trailer for Lee Daniels' Precious
Lionsgate has debuted a second "internet only" trailer for Lee Daniels' Precious: Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire on Apple tonight. I have a feeling this is going to win Best Picture. If it does, then you heard it hear first. I've seen this film and it's a phenomenal film but it's very emotionally draining, so much so that I haven't seen it for a second time yet. It's been playing at every single film festival around the world - Sundance, Cannes, Toronto, London, New York, Tokyo - and has been winning awards at almost every fest. If that's not a sign, then I don't know what else is. I highly suggest everyone give this great film a chance.
Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans Trailer
First Look has debuted an official trailer for Werner Herzog's Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans today on Yahoo. This trailer is a lot less comedic than the early promo trailer that we ran back in May. And let me tell you, this is actually a great movie. I know that I said I hated it initially, but my mind changed after I saw it in Telluride (read my review), and now I'm a huge supporter. And by the way, those iguanas come from Herzog's crazy mind, he actually just added them for the hell of it, not any real reason (he actually said this during an intro in Telluride). Anyway, check out the trailer below and please see this.
Must Watch: Linklater's Me and Orson Welles Official Trailer
Freestyle has debuted the official US trailer for Richard Linklater's Me and Orson Welles on Yahoo. It's a huge improvement over the first promo trailer we ran back in August. This is really a tough sell - they're trying to get the High School Musical fans interested in a film about a stage play while also enticing Richard Linklater fans and admirers of Orson Welles. That's an eclectic group of moviegoers that this is being sold to, but either way, I highly suggest everyone check out this trailer. I think Me and Orson Welles is a highly underrated film with a lead performance by Christian McKay (as Welles) that at least deserves an Oscar.
Second Full Theatrical Trailer for Roland Emmerich's 2012
One date will unite us all. I'm guessing (or maybe just hoping) that this is the final trailer that Sony will be putting out for Roland Emmerich's 2012. The marketing campaign (at least for the US) is focused entirely around that one apocalyptic scene where an earthquake destroys Los Angeles and sends the entire city sinking into the oean. If you didn't already see the 5-minute extended clip, this trailer contains a condensed version of that very same scene, so you'll see it anyway. And don't you just love apocalyptic destruction and gigantic waves? Because I do. I can't wait to see this. I know the story will suck, but damn it just looks fun!
Must Watch: Terry Gilliam's Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus Trailer
Sony Pictures Classics has finally debuted a US trailer for Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus over on Yahoo today. I already saw this wonderful film a few times while in Cannes (read my review) and enjoyed it quite a bit. I think Gilliam is back at his best with this, although I'm not sure if I'd call it one of my favorites. Either way, it's a great movie, with a great cast - not only including Heath Ledger and his three replacements, Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell - but the other cast members are fantastic as well. It's a very fantastical film with plenty of very trippy scenes. Watch the new trailer below and enjoy!
First Official Trailer for Oren Moverman's The Messenger
Oscilloscope has just debuted the official trailer for The Messenger today on Apple, not to be confused with the Joan of Arc movie The Messenger or that horror movie The Messengers. I'm sorry but Iraq war movies, unless they're The Hurt Locker, are just boring to see nowadays. Hell, the concept in this is even the same exact concept as in Brothers — well, they're close enough. And I have a feeling neither of them are going to make any money. They're both going to come and go quickly because most of us just don't want to see these kinds of movies anymore. So why are they still making them? I'm not sure. Check out the trailer.
Second Full French Trailer for Jacques Audiard's A Prophet
Although Sony Pictures Classics has been touring around the film festival circuit with A Prophet, they haven't otherwise started marketing it to the public. I've seen it twice now at two different festivals and it still is one of my favorite films of the entire year (read my review). After its debut at Cannes, we featured a very short teaser for the film. Now we have another full-length trailer (via Awards Daily), but unfortunately it's still only in French without English subtitles. A Prophet also just got accepted to AFI Fest in November, where I'm sure it'll gain even more Oscar buzz. Give this new trailer a shot even if you don't speak French.
