This new trailer for The Dark Knight is brought to us by Dominos Pizza. They make shitty pizza, but the trailer is fresh and tasty. It features some new dialogue and footage, and focuses heavily on Batman’s psyche. Is it July 18th yet?

I’ll be the first to admit I’ve never been a huge James Bond fan. Sure, the movies are fun, and have their exciting moments, and everyone loves Sean Connery. But for some reason they never really grabbed me. Until Casino Royale that is. I really liked the re-imagining of the Bond franchise. The grittier feel. Daniel Craig’s darker spin on the character. They make for a far more interesting storyline.
So it’s with a fair amount of anticipation that I present the first trailer for the next chapter in the Bond series: Quantum of Solace:
I’d say so far it looks pretty good. Almost like a Bourne movie. Which can only be a good thing.
Quantum of Solace hits theaters November 7th.
I’ve been going back and forth about Wanted ever since I saw the first trailer. Would it be a hyper-kick-ass, balls to the wall action film? Or a completely over-the-top parody of itself? As each new trailer has come out I’ve watched, and tried to figure it out. I was finally leaning towards the former, but this fact has pushed me right over the edge into full-on excitedness: It has a 93% on Rotten Tomatoes. Holy shit. The Matrix only has an 86%.
In case you’ve missed it, here’s the red band trailer for Wanted, which hits theaters this Friday:
Following what seems to be a theme recently, here’s the international teaser trailer for the Coen brothers’ upcoming comedy, Burn After Reading:
Not a whole lot of new stuff here. Regardless, this movie’s starting to look like another Big Lebowski for the Coens. Only funny.
Burn After Reading comes to a theater near you September 12th.
The second trailer for the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars is out, and it’s just as mediocre as the first one. Is anyone other than the hardcore Star Wars fanboys actually looking forward to August 15th? Check out the uninspiringness below:
Here’s yet another trailer for The Dark Knight. A few new clips, but nothing too major. Still can’t wait for July 18th..
American Teen follows five teenagers through their last year in high school. They make up a cross-section of high school life - a jock, a geek, a princess, a rebel, and a heart throb. Sound familiar? Yep, it’s The Breakfast Club, only it’s a documentary. Kick ass.
Hot on the heels of their latest masterpiece, No Country for Old Men, the Coen brothers are back. This time it seems they’re going a different route, with a comedy about spies and gym employees. Burn After Reading assembles an all star cast, including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Frances McDormand, John Malkivich, and Tilda Swinton.
Burn After Reading is scheduled to hit theaters September 12th. SlashFilm has all the details
The first teaser for Kevin Smith’s Zack and Miri Make a Porno hit the web late last night. It features stars Seth Rogan and Elizabeth Banks ad libbing their way through porn auditions. Smith says it’s just a teaser, not a trailer, because none of the footage actually appears in the movie, but it does give you a feel for the movie’s tone.
Zack and Miri hit theaters October 31st.
As a bonus, you can now order the sweet Monroeville Zombies hockey jersey from the film (pictured above). For those of you who aren’t big George Romero fans, the joke is that Dawn of the Dead was filmed in the Monroeville (PA) mall, and Zack and Miri also filmed there.
Al Pacino and Robert DeNiro are cops. Cops who have seen a lot. Cops who may or may not play by the rules. Suddenly bad guys start ending up dead. They need to figure out who’s killing them. Is it some sort of righteous vigilante? Or a cop with a score to settle? September 12th we’ll find out. That’s when Righteous Kill comes out. Here’s the second trailer for the film.
I was already interested after the first trailer. But this one raised the bar. Who can resist two of the world’s greatest actors in a crime drama?
There’s a new red band trailer out for the summer comedy Step Brothers, starring Will Ferrell as two stunted adults who suddenly become step brothers. Despite Ferrell and Reilly, and the fact that it’s directed by Adam McKay, who did Anchorman and Talladega Nights, I was luke warm on this after the first trailer. But this one definitely made me laugh. Of course at heart I’m still 12, so collapsing bunk beds will always make me laugh…Just rememeber, “This house is a prison. On planet Bullshit. In the galaxy of This Sucks Camel Dick.” Awesome.
Step Brothers hits theaters July 25th.
When the first trailer for Ben Stiller’s Tropic Thunder came out I thought it looked pretty good. The concept is promising: a group of mismatched actors goes into the jungle to film a war movie and doesn’t realize that they’re in a real war. The cast is great, with Jack Black, Steve Coogan, Nick Nolte, and Robert Downey Jr (as an Australian who gets a medical procedure so he can play an African-American) joining Ben Stiller.
Now there’s a second trailer out, and it’s gloriously red band. And it looks AWESOME. But don’t take my word for it, click on the picture below to watch it for yourself.
Suddenly August 15th can’t come fast enough…
I’m a little behind on this, but here’s the second trailer for the upcoming Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. It really seems like it keeps the same nostalgic feel as the first three movies.
The latest chapter of the Indiana Jones tale hits theaters May 22nd. Can’t wait!
This new trailer doesn’t officially hit the internets until Sunday, but it’s running 12 cities and someone managed to capture it. So here’s a bootleg to tide us over until the real thing hits:
Removed at WB’s request. Check back when it gets officially released
Here’s the real thing:
So what do you think?
Bear with me a second here, because this movie is going to sound pretty dumb. The premise is this: A man has a passion for acting, but turns out to be terrible at it. So he decides to teach acting, landing a job at a high school. When the school decides to cut the drama program he figures the best way to save the program is to write a musical and stage it. The musical he writes is Hamlet 2, a sequel to the Bard’s tale about the Prince of Denmark. You know, the one where everyone dies at the end. Along the way Jesus, the ACLU, Elisabeth Shue, and a gay men’s choir somehow get involved. Got it?
So the premise is either genius or completely retarded. Based on the trailer, and the fact that the movie was the hit of Sundance, I’m thinking it might be the former. But check it out and decide for yourself.
Hamlet 2 opens nationwide August 29th.
Tell me if you’ve heard this before: There’s a movie coming out that’s an comic book adaptation, shot and directed in a highly-stylized way that makes it look like a comic book. It’s a hard-boiled detective story that takes place in a crumbling city. And it’s brought to us by Frank Miller. Sound familiar? No, it’s not Sin City. This time it’s The Spirit.
The film is an adaptation of the comic dating all the way back to the 40s. Originally created by Will Eisner, it’s Frank Miller’s vision that will appear on the screen. The movie will follow The Spirit, a former detective who rose from the dead to fight crime, as he battles his arch-enemy, The Octopus (played by Samuel L. Jackson, who we all know is a BMF).
The movie doesn’t hit theaters until January 19th, 2009, but the teaser trailer is out now:
I’m in Boston. I’ve been up since 4AM. Sooooo tired. So, without too much fanfare, here’s a leaked trailer (with Polish subtitles!) for this summer’s theatrical feature Star Wars: The Clone Wars. It gives us a chance, albeit fuzzy, to see what this fancy schmancy 3D animation will look like. And it doesn’t look bad. My interest level? Meh.
[VIDEO REMOVED AT WARNER BROTHERS' REQUEST]
Star Wars: The Clone Wars is due out August 15th. So what’s your take? Will you be in your storm trooper costume on August 1st, waiting in line? Or is it just another shameless attempt from George Lucas to separate you from your hard-earned money?
Imagine the world’s worst martial arts instructor. No, seriously, imagine it. Got it? Now, watch this trailer, and tell me this guy isn’t worse than what you had in mind (NSFW language):
The Foot Fist Way hits theaters May 30th
Ben Stiller is making a new movie. It’s called Tropic Thunder, and here’s what I know about it:
- The plot is basically this: a group of actors is making a movie about a war in the jungle. The people who live in this jungle don’t know it’s a movie, so they start fighting back. Oops.
- Ben Stiller plays a badass action hero
- Jack Black plays a gross-out comedian making his break into serious film
- Robert Downey, Jr. plays a method actor so dedicated to his craft he undergoes plastic surgery so he can play a black guy in the movie. That’s right, Robert Downey, Jr, a white actor, is playing a white actor playing a black guy.
Got it? No? Then watch the trailer:
Tropic Thunder hits theaters August 15th.
Here’s the fourth trailer for The Wachowski Brothers’ upcoming live-action cartoon version of Speed Racer. This time we get to see Speed Racer as a kid, as well as some other footage we haven’t seen before (including 50% more monkey!). Basically the more we see of this the better it looks. Suddenly May 23rd can’t come soon enough…
Today’s a big day for Bruce Banner fans. They finally get their first glimpse of the big green dude in this summer’s The Incredible Hulk. The film is a reboot of the franchise, not a sequel to 2003’s suckfest Hulk. That CGI Hulk was cartoonish and unbelievable. Would the new CGI Hulk be better? Check out the trailer, then we’ll discuss:
So, after watching that, what do we know? Well, Ed Norton seems like an upgrade over Eric Bana as Bruce Banner. Liv Tyler is still hot. The Hulk’s nemesis Abomination looks kind of like The Sandman from Spiderman 3. And The Hulk himself? He still looks pretty cartoonish. Hmm. I’m a little worried. Based on how awesome the trailers for Iron Man have been, I think The Incredible Hulk has a long way to go to be the best comic book movie of the summer. Oh, wait, I forgot about The Dark Knight. Ok, it has a long way to go to be the second best comic book movie of the summer…
The Incredible Hulk hits theaters June 13th.
A new trailer for Iron Man is out. When the movie was first announced I had very little interest, expecting something like The Fantastic Four. But I have to say, the more of this I see the better it looks. Robert Downey Jr looks like a great choice to play Tony Stark, and the effects look great, without being over the top. I’m starting to really look forward to May 2nd.
Mike Myers has a new movie coming out this summer. It’s called The Love Guru and the basic premise is this: Myers plays an American who as a baby was left at an Indian asram. He grows up to become India’s second-greatest love guru. The Toronto Maple Leafs hire him to help their star player reconcile with his wife so he will play better. Wackiness ensues.
The trailer came out today. I post it not because it blew me away, but rather because it made me question why I ever found Mike Myers funny. The trailer makes this movie look like Austin Powers in India. Same jokes, same Mike Myers physical gags, and even Mini Me. The whole thing just looks tired. Check it out below and let me know if you agree or if I’m just getting grumpy in my old age.
If you’re still interested The Love Guru hits theaters June 20th.
The first trailer for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull came out today. I have to say, even though I was against this movie from the beginning, the trailer looks pretty good. Lots of the swashbuckling action and dry wit that made the first three so much fun. Can’t wait for May 22nd to get here.
The red band trailer for the Apatow/Rogan machine’s Pineapple Express leaked today, and I have to say it looks AWESOME. But don’t believe me, watch for yourself:
Pineapple Express is due to hit theaters in August of this year.
The Apatow machine is cranked up again and ready to spit out its next hit. Forgetting Sarah Marshall stars Apatow cronie Jason Segal (you may remember him as Seth Rogan’s smooth-talking friend in Knocked Up) as a man trying to get over a bad breakup by getting away to an island resort. Only when he gets there his ex-girlfriend (hottie Kristen Bell) is there. With her new boyfriend. And wackiness ensues!
Golden Boy Apatow isn’t behind the camera or script for this film, but he is a producer. Segal actually wrote the screenplay, and first-timer Nicholas Stoller is directing.
Check out the red band trailer:
Forgetting Sarah Marshall comes out April 18th.
The more I see about Michel Gondry’s upcoming movie Be Kind Rewind the more excited I get. It stars Jack Black and Mos Def as video store owners with in a difficult situation. Black’s character has become magnetized and accidentally erased all the videos in the store. So what do they do? They recreate the movies themselves. If you need to get caught up, go watch the trailer, then come back. Don’t worry, we’ll wait.
One of the central concepts of the movie is Sweding. What does it mean to Swede? Gondry and Black explain:

There’s a new international trailer out for Iron Man. On top of that is the news that the movie will cross over into The Incredible Hulk, with Robert Downey Jr. (as Tony Stark) appearing in a scene with General Thaddeus “Thunderbolt” Ross (played by William Hurt). No real word on what kind of scene it’s going to be, or how the two movies really tie together.
Iron Man is due in theaters May 2nd, while The Incredible Hulk is slated for June 13th.
Let’s get one thing out of the way real quick: I can’t stand Star Trek in any of its incarnations. The original series seems incredibly cheesy, and not in the campy, fun, over-the-top way that the 60’s Batman series was. Star Trek: The Next Generation had Whoopi Goldberg, the dude from Reading Rainbow, and lots of dudes in latex masks. Three things that don’t do it for me. Frankly I don’t know anything about any of the other TV versions of the show, because I haven’t paid any attention to them. As far as the movies go, I guess Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan was ok, but the other ones I’ve seen are just total crap. I seem to remember something about them trying to save whales and talking to god.
That said, probably the only way you could get me interested in a new Star Trek movie is to get J.J. Abrams involved. He’s directing the new prequel, called simply Star Trek. So that marginally piques my interest. Though it’s not due out until Christmas of this year, the first teaser trailer is already out. Check it out:
Yup, that’s it. A few guys welding. Wow. I can’t wait to see this movie. I think I’ll go camp out now to be the first in line. Apparently the folks who put the trailer together had their phasers set to “boring”.
(UPDATED: Here’s a higher-quality version. By “higher-quality” I mean the video is clearer, not that the trailer is any more interesting. It’s in high-def now though, so you can really see the guys weld!)
There’s a red band trailer for Will Ferrell’s upcoming basketball movie Semi-Pro out, and like most red band trailers it makes the movie look much funnier than the G-rated version.
We’ve got a while to wait for the movie, as it’s not due to hit theaters until February 29th. Even if you’re not a Will Ferrell fan it should be fun to see Andy Richter, Tim Meadows, Will Arnett, and Woody Harrelson together.
You may have heard of Pixar, the animation studio that’s brought us Toy Story, A Bug’s Life, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, and Ratatouille. They tend to make movies that don’t suck.
Well their next project is called WALL-E, and it’s about a robot that’s left behind when humans leave Earth. For 700 years he keeps doing his job, cleaning up trash. Then he meets EVE and everything changes. It’s written and directed by Andrew Stanton, who directed Finding Nemo and Monsters, Inc, and it hits theaters next June. Check out the trailer below.
My Lost-lust has officially set in. Why? Watch these two videos, then we’ll discuss:
30-Second Trailer
Longer Trailer
Holy Schnikes. Ok, so after the videos what do we know?

The fine folks over at /Film have served up a few more nuggets from The Dark Knight today.
First, watch the official, non-bootlegged, version of the first full trailer for The Dark Knight below, or get it in glorious high definition.
Next, check out a bootlegged version of the first few minutes of the movie. It’s playing as a trailer to the IMAX version of I Am Legend.
And, finally, a new poster for the movie, featuring The Joker asking us, “Why So Serious?” (click for the full-size version)
Who doesn’t love Bruce Campbell? You know, the badass actor from the Evil Dead movies (including Army of Darkness)? He’s one of the few actors that manages to be funny and a badass at the same time.
So now that we all agree that we love him, let me tell you a story. Imagine you live in a small town in Oregon. And you accidentally summon the Chinese god of war. Who do you call? Bruce Campbell, naturally.
That’s the basic plot of My Name is Bruce, an upcoming movie that Campbell directed and stars in. It’s not due out until the middle of next year, but check out the trailer now. It looks like it could be a classic B movie.
There’s a trailer for The Dark Knight that’s running before I Am Legend, and because this is 2007 it has leaked onto teh intrawebs. Hooray intrawebs!
It’s a poor quality recording of the trailer, but it’s good enough for me to say that if the movie comes anywhere near living up to the trailer this will be far and away the best Batman movie ever. Heath Ledger seems delightfully deranged as The Joker. He looks so badass that I have a feeling Batman will be playing second fiddle in his own movie. But don’t take my word for it, check it out for yourself:
In addition to the supremely kickass trailer, /Film has uncovered two international posters for the film. The first shows Batman looking over a city, and the second shows The Joker down on the street ready to cause mayhem.
(Click on the thumbnails to see them full-sized)
The first trailer for the straight-to-DVD movie version of Dead Like Me is out, and it shows a few interesting things. First we get to see Henry Ian Cusick as Rube’s replacement. Then we get to see Sarah Wynter replacing Laura Harris as Daisie. Overall, while it’s good to see the reapers again, it doesn’t give us a lot to work with. Check it out:
For more news about the movie check out this post at TVSquad.
When I heard that the creative miscreants behind The Matrix Trilogy had decided to make a live-action version of Speed Racer I was intrigued. I was never a big fan of the cartoon, but how could I not be interested in what the Wachowski Brothers were going to do with it? Well they certainly haven’t disappointed.
Never content to stick with something conventional, the Wachowskis have set out to make the movie look like a live-action cartoon. Using fancy new techniques to layer film and keep the foreground and background of the frame in focus . On top of that they’ve packed each frame with highly saturated colors, further enhancing the cartoon feel.
So, will all this fanciness add up to anything? Judge for yourself below (or go to MovieFone to see it in high def):
Speed Racer races into theaters May 9th, 2008.
If I’ve said it once I’ve said it a million times: Red Band trailers kick ass. Here’s the red band trailer for the latest Judd Apatow joint, Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, which shows more of the back story, some drug use, and includes lots of profanity. Oh, and there’s more Jenna Fischer. So basically wins all around.
Today Apple posted the first full trailer for J.J. Abrams’ new monster movie Cloverfield. Go ahead and watch it, then we’ll discuss:
Cloverfield has a great concept for a monster movie: New York is under attack by a mysterious monster, and the only info the audience gets is from a home movie camera. The trailer hints at just how cool this concept can be. Unlike some recent trainers (*cough*The Mist*cough*) it doesn’t show us what the monster is, or even give us much of a hint. Instead it only tells us “whatever it is, it’s winning”. Brilliant!
We have to wait until January 18th, 2008 to find out if Abrams keeps his hot streak (which includes Lost
Here’s the official trailer for the upcoming season of 24:
Based on the trailer we seem to know:
- Keifer Sutherland really appreciates us fans
- Washington isn’t happy with Jack
- Jack isn’t sorry about torturing people
- CTU isn’t around anymore
- Tony Almeida isn’t dead?!?
- Tony is a hell of a hacker
- With CTU out of the equation, the FBI will be providing the mole
- Tony knows air traffic control lingo
Is it just me or is this a little underwhelming? We’ll have to wait until January 13th to find out if they can improve on last season.
There’s a new trailer out for I am Legend, the big screen adaptation of Richard Matheson’s post-apocalyptic novel
I am Legend hits theaters December 14th and has the potential to be very, very cool or very, very bad.
Let’s see, we’ve got Russel Crowe and Denzel Washington, directed by Ridley Scott, produced by Brian Grazer. One word: Awesome. It comes out November 2nd.
According to their site, Trailers From Hell “is a series that showcases classic-era movie Previews of Coming Attractions with particular emphasis on the lurid, the extreme and the outrageous.” That about sums it up. They collect trailers from old classics and B-movies and get modern filmmakers to comment on them. The results can be pretty interesting. For example, here’s Sam Hamm commenting on the trailer for Scream of Fear:
via BoingBoing TV (it’s BoingBoing’s new daily video podcast. Check it out).
Judd Apatow is on a roll. Since 2004 he’s been involved in Anchorman, The 40 Year-Old Virgin, Talladega Nights, Knocked Up, and Superbad. Not a bad resume. His next project is a mock biopic. It’s called Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story, and it looks like a pretty direct spoof of Walk the Line. John C. Riley plays Dewey Cox, a country singer whose rise to fame, tribulations, and ultimate redemption make up the story. Check out the trailer:
The first trailer for next summer’s big comic book movie, Iron Man, is out, and for some reason it makes me think the movie won’t be terrible. At least not Fantastic Four or Hulk terrible. Maybe I have too much faith in Robert Downey, Jr.
There’s a new red band trailer out for Robert Zemeckis‘ take on the classic epic poem Beowulf. The movie is a CGI update of the tale which apparently stays true to the poem in most places, but adds some scenes in order to take advantage of Angelina Jolie’s hotness (I know, she’s “digitally enhanced” here, but she’s still hot). Check out the trailer below, or a higher quality version here.
Here’s the trailer for Be Kind Rewind, the latest movie from director Michel Gondry (who made Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Man do I love R-Rated trailers. I’m pretty sure that a normal trailer would make Superbad look dumb as shit. But leaving in the profanity and sex jokes makes it look pretty damn funny. It stars Michael Cera (who played George Michael on the tragically short-lived Arrested Development
The teaser trailer for the next Batman movie, The Dark Knight is out. After the successful reboot of the Batman franchise in Batman Begins
(here’s a link to a higher quality version)
The trailer doesn’t reveal very much, but here’s what we know:

Meh. Would have been more exciting about 10 years ago. Though Spider Pig made me chuckle…
There’s a new trailer out for Ocean’s 13 (in theaters June 8th), and I’ve gotta tell you, I’m getting excited. Very excited. The trailer has the wit and the visual style of the first movie. Looks like a return to form after the slightly disappointing Ocean’s 12.
Here’s a low-quality version of the trailer:
