The Escapist trailer
Bryan Cox is taking a break from paycheck roles in the Bourne and X-Men movies (don’t get me wrong - he was great in all these, but they didn’t really require him to tap any deep theatrical resources) to star in The Escapist, the trailer for which you can check out on the movie’s official [...]
Baghead trailer
I have to admit this is a good trailer for the low-budget horror movie Baghead. The spot starts by introducing us to the four main characters who, as in all horror flicks, drive off to spend some time at a remote cabin. They’re there to try and come up with a collective way to get [...]
New Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 trailer
The pants themselves make only a couple of brief appearances in this new trailer for The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2. Instead of any mention of those jeans the trailer is all about the four friends and how they’re coming together again after varied times apart.
This new spot positions the movie as being all [...]
Swing Vote trailer
The trailer for Kevin Costner’s latest film Swing Vote has been released and it’s…interesting. Now let me state that I’m a big fan of Costner’s late-career “Fuck it I’m just going to have fun” attitude toward the roles he takes. He’s been playing a lot of shiftless layabouts and other similar characters lately, [...]
The Take trailer
Quite an interesting trailer here for The Take, starring John Leguizamo. He plays an armored truck security guard whose truck is kidnapped one day when his truck is robbed. He’s shot by his captors and eventually comes under suspicion of being involved the in heist in some way. The trailer does a good [...]
The Objective trailer and website
Kimberly at PRWeek’s The Cycle pointed out a number of things for The Objective, the latest film from Daniel Myrick, the director of The Blair Witch Project. I’ll bypass Kimberly’s questions about whether or not there will be a “viral” campaign for the movie a la BWP and just deal with the marketing materials themselves.
The [...]
New Incredible Hulk trailer
Universal has released a new trailer for this summer’s The Incredible Hulk. This new version eschews the origin focus of the first spot and instead dives heavily into action sequences from the get go. We see more footage of Banner’s chase through the Central American town by government agents and his hike back to civilization, [...]
Miss Conception trailer
Heather Graham is, undeniably, a hottie. Not only that but she’s enthusiastic and always seems to be giving her roles a solid effort. That being said, she’s also undeniably not a very good actress. But she makes up for it in enthusiasm. All those traits are on display in this trailer for Miss [...]
New The Wackness trailer
Sony Classics has released a new trailer for The Wackness, the much beloved film from Sundance starring Sir Ben Kingsley as a psychiatrist who trades treatment for drugs, drugs he gets from a young man who falls in love with Kingsley’s character’s daughter. This trailer is a vast improvement over the first one. [...]
Towelhead trailer
This trailer for Towelhead is not particularly easy to watch, at least not after the halfway point or so. The movie is about a young girl from an un-identified Middle Eastern country who moves with her widowed father to a typical U.S. suburb. There they meet their neighbors, one of which is a family headed [...]
Stuck poster
Interesting poster for Stuck, a movie about a young woman who hits a pedestrian but who, instead of reporting it, just leaves him in her car’s windshield half-alive. As Gus says, I’m not sure the mood of the poster, which is very funny and faux-scandalous matches that of the trailer, which contained a [...]
Reminder: New Dark Knight trailer coming later today
It’s probably going to be any time now by the time I’ve actually posted this, but just remember that Warner Bros. should be releasing a new trailer The Dark Knight at some point this afternoon. The new section of the WhySoSerious.com site has been counting down to today and, as you can read at SSH, [...]
New You Don’t Mess With the Zohan trailer
Sony has released a new trailer for Adam Sandler’s comedy You Don’t Mess With the Zohan. This one covers much the same ground as the previous spot, though it hits different points along the way. It starts out as an action flick, albeit a comedic and outrageously ridiculous one that has Sandler’s Israeli assassin bouncing [...]
Retro Trailer: The Last Man on Earth
Came across this trailer for the original adaptation of the novel I Am Legend, The Last Man on Earth, and thought it worth passing on. This version starred Vincent Price and, while I haven’t seen it, seems to be the closest to the source material of the three movies based on it to date. Enjoy.
TVLand launches trailer section
TV Land, MTV Network’s channel for shows that were pushed off of Nick at Nite when it began considering “The George Lopez Show” classic television, is adding a new section devoted to movie trailers to its website. The new section will feature trailers from movies from as far back as the 1950s up to [...]
