Here is the first full trailer for The Hunger Games. I knew nothing of the story before seeing this and am now quite intrigued. I definitely want to see this, but I also want to read the book. The big question is, in what order? Would reading the book first diminish the movie? I’m not certain which way I want to go with this one.
This is the first full trailer for the next Pixar film, “Brave”. There was a previous teaser that showed some of the character design, but this is the first bit of story and some of the additional characters and world. Very nice and looking forward to it. Though, I am also in the minority who didn’t hate Cars 2, so you may not agree with my taste.
This trailer is for a documentary about Roger Corman, a filmmaker who broke molds and made movies none else would. Once again, the lesson is make the movie.
In grade school, 21 Jump Street was quite big among my peers. I never watched it and remember poking fun and people for being members of the Johnny Depp fan club. Times have certainly changed and my impressions of Johnny Depp are small among those things. Here we have the trailer of the film re-invention of that most revered of TV shows. I have to say I like it. I will not say its going to be a good movie. I just think it’ll be fun. I say that a lot, I know, but I do enjoy movies and find something to enjoy about most of them. I think this will be an enjoyable light-hearted film and plus, I’m not bothered by Jonah Hill like so many others.
The fourth installment of the Underworld series of movies come to us early next year. The latest trailer can be seen below. I had an initial distaste for the first film of the franchise because I had expected something different. I should really revisit that movie and the two sequels. This to me looks like a fun action film with some vampire and werewolf stuff in it. And the best part, there is no glitter around the vampires!
Themed appropriately for Halloween comes this trailer from the makers of Coraline. Not too much can be gathered about the plot from this trailer, but you can tell its the story of strange happenings surrounding a zombie obsessed young man. It has all the same charming characteristics of Coraline and I think it will be a fun watch next August when it comes out.
Gotta love the intense action of the Mission: Impossible series of movies. I think my favorite in the series is the third one, directed by J.J. Abrams. It will be fun to see this one directed by Brad Bird, probably most famous from his work at Pixar, though The Iron Giant definitely has its fans. There is a featurette out there showing Tom Cruise doing his own stunts for this. Also fun to watch. Are you excited for this one?
As an aspiring film maker, its nice to read stories like this one. A spec script gets picked up, in no small part due to a teaser trailer. The guys behind this aren’t new to the business, but its still nice to know that it is possible to sell that script if its a good enough story.
Studio Ghibli’s take on the story The Borrowers is titled The Secret World of Arrietty. This is the same story that the old show The Littles is based on and there have been several other adaptations over the years. The basic concept is there are small human-like creatures living among us, within the walls and such, and they make use of things we loose or leave behind. I haven’t seen a Studio Ghibli film I didn’t like, so I expect to enjoy this one.
I’m a huge fan of Aardman and pretty much all they do. This is their first stop motion feature film since parting ways with Dreamworks and looks to have all the same character and charm as their other works. I like the trailer and I think this is one that will be seen with the kids.
