The Avengers Trailer!

The official Avengers trailer is now online…and pretty badass.  I’ll save snarky nitpicks until after the trailer.

So…it does bug me a little that the first 30 seconds of the trailer make this seem a lot like a Transformers movie.  I was hoping for a better look at the Hulk, but I guess we’ll see more in the next trailer.  I mean, we’re still a while away from the film being released.  Oh, and the song selection, despite being a great song…really could have been something a little more recent.

Nitpicks aside, I’m actually pretty impressed by the trailer.  High hopes for this one.  Watch in HD at Apple.

The trailer for UNDERWORLD: AWAKENING!

I actually really enjoy the Underworld movies. I mean, sure, they’re poorly written and are a little silly, but they appeal to the kid in me who likes to see cool looking people shooting cool looking vampires and werewolves. Really, they’re for the type of comic fan who likes fun comics, and is willing to believe that yes, vampires can make sunlight-filled bullets because, you know, it’s just cool.

Well, it’s been some time since we last saw Kate Beckinsale in the leather get-up, and I for one have missed her.

The movie opens in 3D and 2D theaters on January 20, 2012. Directed by Måns Mårlind and Björn Stein, it stars Kate Beckinsale, Stephen Rea, Michael Ealy, Theo James, India Eisley and Charles Dance.

I’d expect to see this trailer this weekend if you watch Conan in 3D. FYI … I also hear that you may see a new trailer for Ghost Rider with that flick too.

Transformers 3: Dark of the Moon New Trailer!

Despite the fact that watching Transformers 2 was the equivalent of two and a half hours of eye rape, TF3 (as it’s being called in promo images) looks soooooo damn good.  If you’re not seeing Fast Five this weekend (and really…why aren’t you?), you can check out the trailer for the new Transformers flick by clicking the image below.  Watch as Optimus Prime lays smackdown!  Watch as Blonde Replacement for Megan Fox has big fake lips that pout a lot!  And, watch as Chicago goes Ka-Blooie Michael Bay style!

Unleash the Transkraken!

The Crow reboot finds its director…

I love The Crow…the original one, mind you.  With Brandon Lee.  But doesn’t everybody love that movie?  I mean, it’s Brandon Lee’s last movie, and the perfect example of a dark hero movie.  I mean, sure it’s a little dated, but damn…awesome movie, awesome soundtrack.  Just a heckuva good film (can you tell I’m in the mood to re-watch it now?).

Well…they’re rebooting the Crow franchise.  Probably a good idea since 3 out of the 4 Crow films (not including the TV series) kind of suck.  I mean, that last one with Edward Furlong and David Boreanaz?  Wow…that one was awful.  It looked like it was filmed in someone’s backyard.

Well…luckily, The Crow reboot won’t look that way, because it’s directed by 28 Weeks Later director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (says SuperheroHype).  I absolutely love 28 Weeks Later.  In fact, truth be told, I like it more than the original.  It’s an intense horror movie, and I really hope Fresnadillo brings the same intensity to a Crow flick.  Now we get to argue over who should get the title role….

Check out the new CAPTAIN AMERICA theatrical trailer!

Okay … now I’m convinced this flick is going to be worth our time. Much more effective than the Super Bowl trailer, the new theatrical trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger is out now, and my only concern is how little you see of the costume and the baddies. Makes me wonder how long the movie will be spent on origin before the action kick in.

Captin America: The First Avenger opens in 3D and 2D theaters on July 22, directed by Joe Johnston and starring Chris Evans, Hayley Atwell, Hugo Weaving, Sebastian Stan, Toby Jones, Samuel L. Jackson, Dominic Cooper, Tommy Lee Jones, Stanley Tucci, Neal McDonough and Derek Luke.

Check out the new trailer for SUPER 8!

Man…this film looks all kinds of awesome.  From the Amblin logo at the beginning to the feeling throughout the trailer, JJ Abrams is clearly going for geek nostalgia with his newest directorial effort, Super 8.  I can see all kinds of 80′s Spielberg, Donner, and Howard influence throughout the trailer…and that’s a good thing.  I love the films that Super 8 is clearly influenced by – flicks like E.T. (though, honestly, that film bores the hell out of me), Close Encounters, Goonies…heck, even The Monster Squad.  The problem with a lot of films that feature kids as the leads nowadays is that they’re too wrapped up in trying to please a tween audience, and stray from the type of fun stuff that I grew up with – films that were just on the edge of too scary for their core audience, with wonder and a dash of horror mixed in all at the same time.  Looks like Abrams is missing that kind of flick too.

Super 8 is due out June 10, 2011.

Check out the new SUCKER PUNCH trailer!

I love me some Zach Snyder (though I didn’t see that owl film he did with the 30 Seconds to Mars song in the trailer – was it good?), and damn, I’m excited for Sucker Punch.  I literally don’t give a crap what the film is about when it looks this amazing.

March 25th. Hell yeah.

Kobe Bryant is THE BLACK MAMBA!

Man, this thing is awesome. Guess we know what Robert Rodriguez has been up to instead of, you know, directing movies. Not to be mean, but has he directed a flick since Grindhouse? Besides Machete, of course, which was co-directed. I love me some Robert Rodriguez, and I’d just love to see more output from him – this short is a perfect example why!

Ah-Nuld Returns!

Whoa…how cool would it be to see Arnold Schwarzenegger in a new Terminator film?

If your answer was “not at all,” then we’re on the same page.

Don’t get me wrong, I’ve always been a big fan of The Schwarz, but I think he’s probably a little too old to play the Terminator, no matter how good a shape he gets in when he gets back into acting.  Not only that, the franchise has kind of written itself into a corner – if they go with the whole Salvation future timeline…well, not a good idea.  And the original timeline kind of…well, ended in Terminator 3.  And Arnold can’t exactly play the same guy he did in that movie because he’s D-E-D dead.

While I’m not sure of The Schwarz’s place in the new Terminator film, the rumors that Justin Lin (every Fast and the Furious film since part 3, Tokyo Drift) will be directing  the new film?  Perfect choice.  Though I guess that means he has nothing to do with the Highlander reboot they rumored last week.  Mixed blessing….
