I don't know anything about this movie, but the trailer looks interesting, with a kind of "Cloverfield" feel to it due to it being home video.

Finally, a nice, long official preview of The Hobbit!

Saw this last weekend. Really well done, character-driven piece. You have to ignore the gaping "So who put all this footage together" question, but if you've already accepted telekinetic teens as a go, then it's not too much further to accepting that. The shooting style works and the acting is solid. I love that the writers didn't feel they needed to stop and over-explain where the powers came from. We know what these kids know, and that's enough to go forward. Well worth seeing!

I thought some of the science part of it went 'South' towards the end of the movie considering at the beginning they were supposed to be indestructible so how is it they went from being indestructible to dying???
just my .02 cents though:).....

This looks to be hilarious.

Guy Pearce's character is no Snake Plissken, but Lockout looks like it could be pretty entertaining all the same...

Dave Michuda · « **Reply #27 on:** February 29, 2012, 06:07:48 PM »

Nice trailer for Lockout.

Speaking of Guy Pearce & movie trailers, here he is in a interesting, viral type thing made to look like a TED speech. It's a tie in to Prometheus.

God, this Guy Pearce scene is cheesy and totally over acted. I hope this is not indicative of Prometheus as a whole.

I couldn't figure out to embed the trailer from Apple's site, but here's a link to the trailer for Total Recall 2012.

Dave Michuda · « **Reply #30 on:** April 13, 2012, 05:35:09 AM »

Official trailer for "Looper", sci-fi time travel awesomeness.

Looper dcertainly looks good,
though I feel I know the whole story having seen that trailer

I watched that Peter Weyland thing again and I guess it's not that bad. I don't think this whole scene is in the movie, though (Prometheus), from what I've read.

Re: Total Recall. Looks D-U-M-B. Guess Hollywood's still running out of ideas so they have to do re-makes.

If, like me, you are/were a fan of the Ron Fricke film, Baraka here's the trailer for his new film which he took 5 years to film, all on 70 mm film (so see it on the big screen): Samsara

And here's a link to the official site...if you have time, watch a short video on viewer reactions to Samsara from an advance screening.

Very nice, Bill. Looks like it won't disappoint.

This new Man of Steel trailer makes me a little more optimistic.

Understanding that the best-cut trailers are not only designed to act as 'teasers' but as ads for the films, I'm very impressed with this new MoS trailer. I've questioned this continued Hollywood obsession with comic books as source material & am somewhat burned out on the whole concept (not to mention these endless 'reboots' of films barely a handful of years old), but, that being said, I personally like the direction they seem to be taking with this (sigh) update. It appears to come across as not only epic in scope but with a seemingly 'literary' tone that has yielded at least one modern classic ("Dark Knight") (Not a coincidence that Chris Nolan produced this as well.) Anyway, looks very cool - I await the final product with interest.

Not exactly a trailer, but part of an upcoming movie about a pretty remarkable event.

Pacific Rim - the first trailer:

My first impression upon watching this was...wow! The sheer scope is breathtaking and audacious; I've been curious about this film ever since it was announced as a mysterious del Toro project (his Labyrinth was a brilliant, unique fantasy). Yet, I'm concerned this looks something like a more intelligently rendered take on Transformers (meeting Aliens & The Abyss along the way), albeit done with style & panache. We'll see.
