Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters trailer

I am - inexplicably gleeful about this trailer. Even though I will always be heartbroken about Gretel not being played by Noomi Rapace.

Oh hey. This looks cheesy, and silly, and wonderful.

Trailer: ‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 2’ - Nov 16

(via Coming Soon)

Oh snap! You mean there actually MIGHT be a real fight? The book was such bull shit… “oh, Vampire Bella has this super bubble power where no one will be able to touch them, and therefore - no fight!”

Yes, I read the books, and have feelings about them (other than “oh god, the misogyny”). Yes, same with the movies. And, yes… I know what I just wrote will live on in the internet forever.

Trailer: The Perks of Being a Wallflower - Sept 14

Yup yup yup. Can’t wait!

Trailer: Safety Not Guaranteed - June 8th

Directed by Colin Trevorrow, written by Derek Connolly, starring Aubrey Plaza, Mark Duplass, Jake Johnson, Jeff Garlin, Mary Lynn Rajskub, and Kristen Bell.

Aside from the perfect cast and festival attention, this thing just looks damn good. The concept is unique; the trailer is intriguing without giving too much away. I am wholly on board. As long as there’s no hot tub time machine.

That looks lovely.

This looks great.

Prometheus - New Trailer

HOLY SHIT. 

I should probably see alien now, huh?

TV Show Promo of the Day: First official trailer for HBO’s Veep — Armando Iannucci’s follow-up to his critically acclaimed political sitcom The Thick of It.

Originally developed by Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz and writer Richard Day, the show stars Julia Louis-Dreyfus in the lead role alongside Anna Chlumsky, Tony Hale, Matt Walsh, Andy Buckley, and Reid Scott.

The first episode is set to premiere Sunday, April 22nd.

Yeah, I’d watch this.

Bully of the Day: The MPAA today rejected the Weinstein Company’s request to reduce the rating of their bullying documentary from an R to a PG-13.

The rating, given for language, was reportedly upheld by a single vote.

Harvey Weinstein had hoped Bully could be used as an educational tool for teachers looking to augment existing anti-bullying lesson plans. However, the ruling may restrict the showing of the film in certain schools, as it prohibits viewing by children under 17 years of age without a parent or adult guardian present.

As a result, Weinstein Co. released a statement saying it “is considering a leave of absence from the MPAA for the foreseeable future.”

The MPAA followed up with their own statement, saying that while they agree that Bully “can serve as a vehicle” for discussions about bullying, the association “has the responsibility…to acknowledge and represent the strong feedback from parents throughout the country who want to be informed about content in movies, including language.”

It remains unclear if Weinstein intends to follow through with his threat, but, as Deadline points out, due to “longstanding though nonbinding agreement between exhibitors and the MPAA,” unrated films have a much tougher time getting shown in theaters than R-rated films.

I haven’t seen this movie yet (obviously), but I would be willing to bet that “language” used in the movie is being said by kids - words I’m sure a kid between the age of 13 and 17 already knows, and probably uses.

I know the MPAA has weird rules about how many times the word “fuck” can be used and weird things like that, but don’t they screen for context too? I mean, a movie ABOUT kids that are horrible to other kids is different than say, American Pie or some other movie that is rated R and has language and sex. I would be willing to bet a kid seeing “fuck” used once just randomly in a PG-13 movie and watching a kid say something like “you’re a fucking fag” to another kid in school would have completely different reactions. 

There’s just something so sad about this whole rating thing. I think this movie seriously could have a huge impact.

This looks awesome.

Trailer: Jeff, Who Lives at Home - March 16

Written and directed by the Duplass Brothers. Starring Jason Segel, Ed Helms, Susan Sarandon, and Judy Greer.

Any concerns I had over bad marketing is being put aside by this trailer. It’s pitched as exactly what it is and hopefully, if they’re smart, audiences will get on board. There’s no reason not to trust the Duplass brothers or these performers but the trailer doesn’t give a lot to invite you in. For now my interest lies on the talent as this spot while agreeable did nothing for me either way.

Ooooh! New jason Segel!

Also, yay The Middle East - Blood!

UPDATE: Apparently a penis makes an appearance at 2:57, so close your eyes for a sec.

I would watch the crap out of this.

Due Date Trailer

My good friend Taavon asked me to post the trailer to his client Zach Galifianakis’ new film. 

damn, zach has like three movies coming out. i remember when he was just a little baby beard doing stand up on comedy central. so proud.

RDJ sort of reminds me of John Hamm in this trailer… is it just me? Am I just obsessing over Mad Men right now?

Trailer: Sucker Punch - March 2011

Directed by Zack Snyder. With John Hamm, Emily Browning, Vanessa Hudgens, and Jaime Chung.

This trailer is kind of nuts. And only slightly in the good way. Just because 300 was a surprise smash in March doesn’t mean every graphic novel transfer is going to work, especially at that time of the year. And still this has an appeal, a post-modern, Moulin Rouge meets Kill Bill appeal, and I can dig it.

Hey! That’s the girl from the Lemony Snicket movie. Also, I will probably see this… (even though the title reminds me of “face punch”)
