‘Tron: Uprising’ Trailer 2

My commentary on Daniel Espinosa‘s “Safe House” will have to wait till either later today or tomorrow because I found the latest trailer for Disney’s “Tron: Uprising,” and I have to say that it’s looking pretty good.  The animation appears somewhat similar to work by Peter Chung, with his linear, lithe figures. There also appears […]

Three Minute ‘Prometheus’ Trailer

I found this trailer via Superherohype, and despite all the noise on the Interwebs, it appears to make the essentials of the plot known. What follows below is some analysis, and a bit of conjecture, based upon what has been released so far. It appears that the beings, represented by “The Space Jockey” from the […]

Lionsgate Has Found A Director For ‘Catching Fire’

And according to Deadline, it’s Francis Lawrence.  Lawrence directed NBC’s short-lived series “Kings,” as well as “Constantine” and “I Am Legend” and most recently, “Water For Elephants.” So why is it that I think he’s not a great choice?  Is it because he cast Keanu Reeves as John Constantine (from the Vertigo comics series, Hellblazer). […]

‘Looper’ Trailer

Rian Johnson‘s followup to”The Brothers Bloom” has arrived, and it appears–for a movie that revolves around time travel–to be surprisingly light on special effects. Time travel movies, those that attempt to be faithful to the possibility, are oftentimes too mired in the science to be very entertaining. A fate suffered by 2004’s Primer; though when […]

‘Lockout’ Trailer

Didn’t Luc Besson retire?  If so, he has an odd way of showing it because a new film, Lockout, was not only executive produced by him but the screenplay that he helped write was based upon his idea.  It doesn’t look like anything that we haven’t seen before, if the trailer is any indicator, though […]

New ‘Prometheus’ Pictures

Collider has a whole bunch of pictures from Ridley Scott’s “Prometheus.”  They are mainly beauty shots or behind-the-scenes pics, and don’t reveal anything beyond what anyone following the production already knows. Though they are pretty, and hi-res.

‘Total Recall’ Teaser Trailer

Because what we needed was a reboot of “Total Recall,” the original a Paul Verhoeven film that, as far as I could tell, was done pretty well the first time.  The new version is being directed by Len Weisman, who’s every film looks like huge set pieces with occasional character interaction thrown in.

‘The Host’ Trailer

This ‘Host’ has nothing to do with the (more than likely) far superior movie by Korean director Bong Joon-ho.  Instead it comes to us courtesy of Stephenie Meyer, the writer of the ‘Twilight’ books. I am assuming that these aliens work by possessing an individual, if the trailer is any indicator.

Bringing Light To ‘Prometheus’

Aint It Cool recently posted another “Prometheus” trailer, as well as an interview with Damon Lindelhof and Ridley Scott.  The new trailer is less a dramatic assembly of scenes that an outline of what the film is about. Don’t worry, while it dispels some basic mysteries, it hints at more interesting, darker, things.
