Is it just me or is there a spate of potentially really good movies coming out over the next twelve months?
The Avatar trailer isn't up on Youtube as yet - but the Apple Movies site has a really good HD trailer on site...

Here's a few trailers I've caught recently that I thought I'd share.

First up is 'Zombieland'. I caught this trailer in the States at the weekend when I went to see 'District 9' (which was very good btw). I'll definetly go and see this when it comes out at the cinema...


Everyone likes a good War in Heaven. Personal;ly, 'The Porphecy' with Erik Stolze and Christopher Walken is one of my favourite films. Legion is another trailer I saw in the States and ups the octane level on the battling angels/end of days take on things.
The trailer I saw in the States was shorter than this but doesn't appear online at present, so here is the longer teaser trailer.

I'm currently reading 'The Road' by Cormac McCarthy. The writing style took some getting used to  - and I almost abandoned it fairly early on because of the unconventional style. I'm glad I didn't though as it's proving to be a very enjoyable - and gripping - book.

There's a film adaptation coming out this autumn starring Viggo Mortensen. Here's the trailer...

Anyone know anything about this one? I just saw an ad for it and followed through to the trailer and it's intrigued me (in a weird steampunky way).

The Japanese Trailer for Watchmen has a bunch of new footage in it not seen in the Anglo-American trailers yet.

Here it is....

I was talking about this film with someone a few weeks ago but somehow forgot it was coming out until _tonylee_  posted the trailer for it today.

I've always liked mixing genres and playing with alternative histories so a film set in the Viking Era when an alien spaceship crashes is obviously right up my street :D

Overall I enjoy the new Star Trek Trailer (and this is from someone who DOESN'T LIKE STAR TREK - but I've been hearing from other Trek-neutrals and anti-Trekkers that the new Trek film also has them intersted so I think it is going to be absolutely massive when it's released).

But one thing has been bothering me about it. Simon Pegg as Scotty I thought was a great idea but OMG his accent sucks. His accent in this trailer (and hopefully he'll be better in the overall film) reminded me overwhelmingly of another comedy character - Pippin from Lord of the Rings. Scotty sounds like Pippin.

Listen for yourself...
Generally speaking the trailer looks fab though.

Two trailers for you before I head back into work...

The Underworld franchise is returning to the screens in early 2009 with a look back at the past. The story of the Lycan Uprising is explored - which we'd been told about in previous films. No Kate Beckinsale - her character hasn't been born as of that time - but Bill Nighey returns as Viktor and Michael Sheen as Lucian - the werewolf who falls in love with the vampire Sonja (played by Rhona Mitra) who is Viktor's daughter.

Change also at Director level with Patrick Tatopoulos taking over the reins from Len Wiseman. Patrick is much better known as a special effects guy and has previously worked on a host of films such as Silent Hill, I Am Legend, the earlier Underworld films, Pitch Black, Stargate, 10000 BC to name but a few. So the film should look stunning.

So, if you are up for some dark ages vampire vs werewolf action then I guess you'll be as eager as me to see this film on the big screen when it's released :)

Ok, so maybe I didn't go to bed straight away. Maybe I did check my friends page quickly - and I'm glad I did as I saw the trailer for Repo! The Genetic Opera - which I'd heard about but hadn't paid any attention to.

Before now.

Now I'm interested.

Glad to see Anthony Stewart Head (Giles from Buffy) back in a singing role after his stint in the Rocky Horror Musical - plus Alexa Vega, Sarah Brightman and (and I hate to admit this) Paris Hilton all look pretty hot :p

Anyway, here's the trailer... 2008's Rocky Horror anyone?

Oh yeah, before I forget, I managed to sneak off work early and catch Hellboy 2 - a treat for Natasha's birthday - and also Babylon A.D. Hellboy 2 had some very nice bits but overall i think I preferred the first installment. Babylon A.D. had some nice ideas/scenic shots of a ravaged Earth  near future but overall wasn't a great film and the ending sucked.

But the reason why I mention these is because I caught the trailer for Max Payne. Now I don;t know *anything* about the computer game (I even had to ask someone to check it *was* a computer game) but the trailer has made me really want to see it. I've no idea what the bird creatures are in it but they look very cool.

So, for my final post of the day, I feel it's only fair to share and give you guys and girls a look at the trailer too... Hope you enjoy it!

Here's the links I promised earlier...

And Dr Horrible's Sing-Along Blog can be FOUND HERE and Acts 1 and 2 HERE, Act 3 goes live tomorrow (Saturday 19th July) and then they all get taken down late on Sunday (20th July) so watch them (or download them in itunes) quick! - but that's not enough for you. Here's the Teaser Trailer too...

God, this looks brilliant.

We watched the trailer to start with and the other guys didn't know what it was for and, quite understandably, initially thought it was a trailer for an Elric movie.

Some trailers for you...

The first film was SO good and the books are really good too.

Here's another film I can't wait to see when it come out in UK cinemas!!!

I don't care what anyone says about the Resident Evil films - I loved them (even if the second was iffy in places) and can't wait for the third installment to hit the cinemas (US Release in September).

Las Vegas meets Mad Max anyone?
