Trailer Trash MASH, Sci-fi Action/Horror Edition: ‘The Cabin in the Woods’ & ‘Lockout’
Posted by: | Comments
In this edition of Trailer Trash MASH we a have long-awaited horror/sci-fi/comedy and an under-the-radar sci-fi/action/thriller. Man, movie genre categorization has become particularly granular over the last decade, huh? Anyway, let’s start with the former, shall we? Joss Whedon is currently in the midst of post-production on next year’s The Avengers. Before he was tapped for the superhero blockbuster, Whedon had co-written and produced The Cabin in The Woods. His writing partner and the film’s director is none other than Cloverfield and the upcoming Spielberg-helmed Robopocylpse scribe, Drew Goddard. With this duo, you know the film is gonna have some weird, bloody goodness. Check out the trailer after the break.
First Official Trailer for Clint Eastwood’s ‘J. Edgar’ – Oscar Noms All but a Certainty
Posted by: | Comments
Should we just call Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, Best Picture, Best Cinematography and Best Screenplay Oscar nominations right now? I mean, jeez. The trailer for Clint Eastwood’s J. Edgar has dropped and it looks breathtakingly awesome. The film is of course a biopic on the life and times of J. Edgar Hoover, one of the most influential figures in American history; with his controversial rise to power as the founder of the F.B.I., in addition to well-known “rumors” of being gay. I look forward to anything Leo and Clint do, but this looks to be something truly special.
New ‘Premium Rush’ Trailer Promises Crazy Bike Shenanigans in NYC
Posted by: | Comments
I’ve been preaching for over two years that JGL (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is on the verge of becoming a major superstar. He received a Golden Globe nomination for his performance in 500 Days of Summer and landed a major role in Christopher Nolan’s Inception in 2010. He’s getting a lot of positive buzz for his forthcoming performance in 50/50, opening soon, and he’s currently filming The Dark Knight Rises. Dude’s on a roll. On top of all that, his next NYC bike messenger chase-thriller, Premium Rush, opens next year and the film’s first trailer has just dropped. And it looks pretty dece.
Johnny Depp Returns to Bat Country in ‘The Rum Diary’ Trailer
Posted by: | Comments
For those that didn’t get the reference, “Bat country” is a line from one of my favorite movies that features the best performance of Johnny Depp’s career; that being his portrayal of legendary drug-fueled journalist Hunter S. Thompson in Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas back in 1998. So I am so ecstatic that Depp is returning to that character, at least a version of it, in the adaptation of Thompson’s memoir The Rum Diary – which chronicles Thompson’s boozefest shenanigans in Puerto Rico in the 1960′s while, of course, on assignment – told through his alter-ego “Paul Kemp.” Check out the trailer after the break.
Second Trailer for ‘Abduction’ with Taylor Lautner
Posted by: | Comments
I’ve got nothing against Taylor Lautner as a person. I’m sure he’s a gentleman with good moral fiber. And my ‘distaste’ towards him mostly is unrelated with his participation in the Twilight films. I just find him to be an unconvincing, uninteresting actor. So when I see him receiving lead roles in CIA-spy action thrillers alongside the likes of Alfred Molina, SigourneyWeaver and Jason Isaacs at the ripe age of 19, irks me. Especially when there are many other actors in his age group that are leaps and bounds above Mr. Lautner in the ‘acting chops’ arena. But, what can ya do? Anyway, the second trailer for said CIA-spy action thriller Abduction, has just popped online and is available for your viewing pleasure after the break.
‘Battleship’ Trailer Looks Awful. Pretty Much ‘Transformers 4: Lost at Sea’
Posted by: | Comments
We haven’t heard a peep out of Battleship over the past like six months. The last we heard was pretty much that it was shooting, cost an estimated $200M+, and is starring Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgård, Taylor Kitsch, Brooklyn Decker and Rihanna. Boy, they really went after the pure acting talent for the female roles. Too soon? Anyway, if you didn’t know, this movie is basically a concept adapted from Battleship…….the board game. At least we know the action could be something to look forward to as it’s in the capable hands of Mr. Peter Berg (Hancock, The Kingdom). However, everything else about this movie just reeks of poor quality (i.e. story, script, acting, etc.) Check out the trailer after the jump.
Slick First Trailer for ‘Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy’
Posted by: | Comments
What a breath of fresh air. After being bombarded with summer releases and trailers of CGI-laced superhero sci-fi epics, it’s nice to see a straight up thriller featuring an amazing cast and an awesome story – without all the 3D/IMAX bells and whistles. That’s exactly what we have here with the release of the first trailer for Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy (say that five times fast). It’s a spy thriller adapted from the acclaimed best-selling novel about paranoia, moles, mind-games and traitors within England’s MI6 during the 1970′s era of the Cold War. The film features quite possibly the top British actors working today: Colin Firth, Tom Hardy, Mark Strong, and Gary Oldman. Check out the trailer after the jump.
Phenomenal Fan Trailer – ‘The Batman Complex’
Posted by: | Comments
This video has been making the interweb rounds over the past couple weeks, but it’s so awesome that I had to share it with you. It’s a fan trailer for a film called The Batman Complex. YouTuber themanbatman executes superb editing skills to craft a fake movie trailer about a man (Christian Bale) who thinks he’s Batman, caused by an idea being planted in his head; aka Inception. This severe psychological obsession leaves his mind and body on the brink of destruction. To create this hypnotic and fascinating fan trailer, ‘themanbatman’ used various clips from Equilibrium, The Dark Knight, Batman Begins, The Machinist, Inception, The Prestige, Shutter Island and another movie I can’t quite put my finger on. Check it out after the break.
‘Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2′ Trailer Drops — It is Epic — Or is It?
Posted by: | Comments
What a great day for Potter fans. The trailer for Deathly Hallows – Part 2 was released today by the good folks at Warner Bros. Let the countdown begin! Only 80 more days until we get to revel in the greatness that is HP and his last movie Deathly Hallows: Part 2. As you can imagine, I’m extremely excited, yet sad at the same time. Last time I wrote about HP, I dove into my feelings on the end of an era — this trailer only helps to solidify my sentiments. Check out the trailer after the break.
In this edition of Trailer Trash MASH we have a fun-looking stoner/loser comedy and the second trailer of an anticipated comic-book prequel. The stoner/loser comedy is Our Idiot Brother, starring Paul Rudd as a well, a stoner/loser whose idiotic shenanigans include him being arrested for selling pot to a uniformed police officer, and the affect it has on his relationship with his family members. The comic-book trailer is the second, interational trailer for X-Men: First Class, which features a slew of new images and footage from the upcoming Marvel blockbuster. Check ‘em out after the break.
