I’m fully aware this film is not made for me, I’m not a teenager, I’m not emo and I don’t particularly care for tall, pasty, vampires or muscular, (pointlessly) shirtless, where-wolfs. In fact if your a guy the only reason you should be watching this is either one, your in BIG trouble with your girlfriend or two, that your in fact a homosexual, if your straight and single why in the name of Zeus’s beard are you watching this! To be fair, no matter how I feel this series has a MASSIVE audience, so more power to them, it’s obviously connecting with people. (<<<<I don’t actually mean my last sentence, I just wrote it so that I don’t feel the wrath of millions of emo’s around the world)
Out of all the trailers and clips for Robin Hood this one raised the bar and increased my interest in this massively. I was always gonna check it out, I’m highly susceptible to epic, sword and sandal’s films as it is, without even considering the fact that the Director (Ridley Scott) and Lead Actor (Russell Crowe) brought the world Gladiator, one of my favourite films. Check out the trailer below it won’t disappoint!
In Robin Hood, the Earl of Huntington (Crowe) has returned to his North English village after fighting in the Third Crusade. Upon arrival, the nobleman and his servants discover the oppression caused by Nottingham’s new Sheriff (Matthew Macfadyen). Robin along with his band of Merry Men use their intelligence and military skills to free his home village from tyranny and corruption by taking back what is rightfully his. Robin must also win the affection of the recently widowed Maid Marian (Blanchett), while attempting to lead a successful revolt.
I’m quite partial to a good documentary, especially ones shining a light on injustice. Documentary+crime+prisons+injustice+Samuel L Jackson’s narration = I’m checking this out! Looks like powerful stuff, check out the trailer below.
In the Land of the Free… Is a documentary feature that examines the story of Herman Wallace, Albert Woodfox and Robert King. They are known as the Angola 3 and have spent almost a century between them in solitary confinement in Angola, the Louisiana state penitentiary. Herman and Albert are still held in solitary confinement after thirty seven years. How could this be? In America. Today.
The film is directed by Vadim Jean (Leon The Pig Farmer, Terry Pratchett’s Hogfather) produced by the mob film company (Terry Pratchett’s Colour Of Magic, Stone Of Destiny) Gold Circle Films (My Big Fat Greek Wedding, White Noise, A Haunting In Connecticut) and UKTV’S Yesterday Films and is narrated by Samuel L Jackson.
It’s been 28 years in the making but the sequel to Tron is just 9 months away, which from watching the trailer couldn’t come any sooner, it looks mesmerizing! As highly anticipated trailers go this delivers big time. I loved the Daft Punk score, it sounds incredible. After Inception this is my most anticipated Blockbuster film of 2010. Also Michael Sheen WTF I thought that was David Bowie. I remember loving the original as a kid but to be honest I’ve totally forgotten what it was like, nostalgia can be a lying, cheating, deceiving b*stard sometimes. I’m gonna have to watch the original again to remind my self.
Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the digital world of Tron where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant Quorra (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey of escape across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.”Tron Legacy” is directed by Joseph Kosinski and is scheduled to hit theaters on December 17th in 3D
I’ve been really looking forward to this, the first Iron Man film helped raise the bar of Comic Book inspired films, along with The Dark Knight (to a lesser extent but it raised the bar all the same). This trailer has added to my excitement, it’s rare with a film that I like EVERY actor, especially an action film. Also I’m extra jealous that Scarlett Johanssen is spoken for, Ryan Reynold’s I just want to put it out there, for 10 seconds after watching the trailer I truly hated you. Look out for this May 7th.
Robert Downey Jr. returns as Tony Stark, the wealthy playboy whose exploits as Iron Man are now public knowledge after his admission at the close of the first film. In the follow-up, Stark is pitted against his Russian arch nemesis, Whiplash (Mickey Rourke), and corporate rival Justin Hammer (Sam Rockwell). Also making their Marvel debuts are Scarlett Johansson as the sexy Russian spy Black Widow, and Don Cheadle, who takes over the role of Colonel James Rhodes from Terrence Howard
This looks creepy as hell, it’s being released in the US the middle of April, I’m not sure of a UK release date but it looks good, real disturbing but still good! The premise is horrifying, the trailer is a bit generic but the cast is great and it looks stylish and atmospheric so I’m gonna give it a go.
After a horrific car accident, Anna (Christina Ricci) wakes up to find the local funeral director Eliot Deacon (Liam Neeson) preparing her body for her funeral. Confused, terrified and feeling still very much alive, Anna doesn’t believe she’s dead, despite the funeral director’s reassurances that she is merely in transition to the afterlife. Eliot convinces her he has the ability to communicate with the dead and is the only one who can help her. Trapped inside the funeral home, with nobody to turn to except Eliot, Anna is forced to face her deepest fears and accept her own death. But Anna’s grief—stricken boyfriend Paul (Justin Long) still can’t shake the nagging suspicion that Eliot isn’t what he appears to be. As the funeral nears, Paul gets closer to unlocking the disturbing truth, but it could be too late; Anna may have already begun to cross over the other side. With an unrelenting edge of menace, After.life is a stylish psychological thriller which provocatively questions the line between life and death.
Disney have got a very big year in films in 2010 with Alice In Wonderland, Toy Story 3, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, Tron Legacy and this. I’m slowly warming to this the more that I see from it, I’ve always liked Jake Gylanhaal, it’s good to see him do something more action packed, from the trailer he looks like he spends much of the movie jumping around like coked up Kangaroo(nothing wrong with that!). I’m also looking forward to it for Toby Kebbell and Gemma Arterton two of the UK’s best young talents. They should have cast a few more Persians though it looks like a bunch of English people wearing eye liner and dyed black hair, its the 21st century now I should think films can be a bit more realistic. Look’s like a lot of fun though.
From the team that brought the “Pirates of the Caribbean” trilogy to the big screen, Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films present PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME, an epic action-adventure set in the mystical lands of Persia. A rogue prince (JAKE GYLLENHAAL) reluctantly joins forces with a mysterious princess (GEMMA ARTERTON) and together, they race against dark forces to safeguard an ancient dagger capable of releasing the Sands of Time—a gift from the gods that can reverse time and allow its possessor to rule the world.
The release date for this is inching nearer and nearer, just over a month now from April 2nd. I have to admit I can’t wait, I love me a good sword and sandal film, I’m spoiled for choice this year with this, Centurion and Robin Hood. It’s not gonna be very thought provoking but I’m sure it would be full of action and entertaining. Liam Neeson saying ‘release the Kraken’ is epic enough for me.
I’ve made it no secret my dislike for this and most remakes in general, I think some things shouldn’t be touched. If your REALLY a fan of the original you wouldn’t remake it, maybe do a prequel or another film in the series but not just remake it with the same name, it just looks like a quick cash in, also to point out Michael bay’s production company, Platinum Dunes are the ones producing this so you can take from that what you want, they’ve remade The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Amityville Horror, The Hitcher and Friday The 13th so far, with The Birds, Rosemary’s Baby and I’m sure any iconic horror film to cash in from lined up in the future.
On a positive note the trailer is actually pretty good, as was the poster I posted a few days ago. I also like the fact that Freddy is actually meant to be scary like he was in the original, the last few films in the Freddy series made him too wacky and comedic for me. I’ve got a feeling Jackie Earle Haley will be the only redeeming factor in this film. A Nightmare on Elm Street Trailer 2 in HD
I really like the looks of this, I was very impressed and surprised by the trailer, I’ve always liked a good light hearted, stylised action film that doesn’t take itself to seriously. It does look a bit like an updated version of the A Team but for me I was far more impressed by The Losers trailer than The A Team trailer. This TV Spot just adds to my interest. It looks very comic bookish if that’s a word, I like that
An explosive tale of double cross and revenge, “The Losers” centers upon the members of an elite U.S. Special Forces unit sent into the Bolivian jungle on a search and destroy mission. The team—Clay (Morgan), Jensen (Evans), Roque (Elba), Pooch (Short) and Cougar (Jaenada)—find themselves the target of a lethal betrayal instigated from inside by a powerful enemy known only as Max (Patric). Presumed dead, the group makes plans to even the score when they’re joined by the mysterious Aisha (Saldana), a beautiful operative with her own agenda. Working together, they must remain deep undercover while tracking the heavily-guarded Max, a ruthless man bent on embroiling the world in a new high-tech global war. Losers is directed by Sylvain White and stars Zoe Saldana, Jeffrey Dean Morgan, Chris Evans, Idris Elba and Columbus Short.
