Well hello. This new Japanese trailer for STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS looks stunning!Many new scenes and not too much given away regarding spoilers - although more than what we're used to from Abrams. Certainly there are visual spoilers and characters have their closeups but don't be worried about learning too much of the storyline. That being said, this trailer goes into more depth than the domestic materials so as usual you are being warned.
And... the poster is new as well! Adam Driver's Kylo Ren dominates the new Korean poster and it looks sensational.
SWTFA is going to look amazing in 3D. I've got that feeling. I think everything about this movie is going to be perfect. The story, the imagery, the soundtrack, the characters, the soul. The pressure on JJ Abrams to deliver this thing must be off the scales, but he seems to be taking everything in stride. I've seen the domestic trailer in IMAX and it brings chills. Can't wait for its 3D.
I've already have my ticket bought for opening night and I urge you to buy ahead of time as well. You'll want to see this thing early to 1. enjoy it and 2. avoid the spoilers that will undoubtedly be flying EVERYWHERE on social media the day after opening. Enjoy the trailer! STAR WARS THE FORCE AWAKENS opens on December 17.
Next up on the marketing agenda for Marvel's GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY is this international trailer, full of more revealing interactions between the main characters. Love the comedic conflict - it just keeps getting better the more I see of it.
Here's the storyline for the movie: An action-packed epic space adventure, Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” expands the Marvel Cinematic Universe into the cosmos, where brash adventurer Peter Quill finds himself the object of an unrelenting bounty hunt after stealing a mysterious orb coveted by Ronan, a powerful villain with ambitions that threaten the universe. To evade the ever-persistent Ronan, Quill is forced into an uneasy truce with a quartet of disparate misfits – Rocket, a gun-toting raccoon, Groot, a tree-like humanoid, the deadly and enigmatic Gamora and the revenge-driven Drax the Destroyer. But when Peter discovers the true power of the orb and the menace it poses to the cosmos, he must do his best to rally his ragtag rivals for a last, desperate stand – with the galaxy’s fate in the balance. Marvel’s “Guardians of the Galaxy” is presented by Marvel Studios. The film releases August 1, 2014, and is distributed by Walt Disney Studios Motion Pictures. GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY opens on August 1.
We've got the new trailer for THE WOLVERINE and it features quite a few new scenes and Viper as well!
The movie is moving more and more into my ballpark with each release of their trailers and marketing materials. Love their posters. Truly looking forward to this 3D conversion now and hoping that they have done it right.
Here is the storyline for the movie: Based on the celebrated comic book arc, this epic action-adventure takes Wolverine, the most iconic character of the X-Men universe, to modern day Japan. Out of his depth in an unknown world he faces his ultimate nemesis in a life-or-death battle that will leave him forever changed. Vulnerable for the first time and pushed to his physical and emotional limits, he confronts not only lethal samurai steel but also his inner struggle against his own immortality, emerging more powerful than we have ever seen him before.
What a week for gorgeous trailers! First THE HOBBIT and now LIFE OF PI! After seeing the second trailer for Peter Jackson's re-visitation to Middle-earth I was suitably impressed. One of the best trailers I have ever seen. Then comes along this beast of a trailer! WOW.
Which do you think is better? Tough, tough choice and certainly they are totally different movies but the imagery in both astound.
Ang Lee's LIFE OF PI has done nothing but impress me from the start of their marketing push. Each successive drop of visual splendor has been better than the last and this tells me we are in for a treat opening night. Same for THE HOBBIT. It's hard not to compare these trailers.
And the comparisons don't stop at just the trailers. The 3D is going to look amazing and we have some bragging rights at stake here too: THE HOBBIT is being shot using 3ality Technica rigs and LIFE OF PI is utilizing Cameron | Pace Group rigs! Clearly both productions are going to have cutting edge, best of the best native 3D - combine that with the content we have seen thus far in these trailers and then throw it up on the largest 3D screen available and... sheer movie immersion.
Here's the storyline for LIFE OF PI: Director Ang Lee (BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN, CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON) creates a groundbreaking movie event about a young man who survives a tragic disaster at sea and is hurtled into an epic journey of adventure and discovery. While marooned on a lifeboat, he forms an amazing and unexpected connection with the ship’s only other survivor — a fearsome Bengal tiger. What do you think of the trailer? I can't stop watching it. Both of these trailers this week in fact. I must have watched them both a dozen times and I still feel as though I've missed something and want to revisit them. LIFE OF PI hits theaters on November 21.
Absolute visual spoiler alert for this trailer! And well, if you can't resist then go ahead - I have to "in the line of duty" :-) Stunning, STUNNING new footage in this trailer!!
Here's the storyline for PROMETHEUS:
Ridley Scott, director of “Alien” and “Blade Runner,” returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Check out this thing if you dare.You WILL learn something new with it so be careful!!
Thanks for the heads up hesjustagrunt! PROMETHEUS opens on June 8.
Oh man what a weekend for Ridley Scott and ALIEN fans! And it continues today with the release of the International Trailer for audiences worldwide.
Ridley Scott, director of "Alien" and "Blade Runner," returns to the genre he helped define. With PROMETHEUS, he creates a groundbreaking mythology, in which a team of explorers discover a clue to the origins of mankind on Earth, leading them on a thrilling journey to the darkest corners of the universe. There, they must fight a terrifying battle to save the future of the human race.
Have a look:
Secondly, take a look at Ridley Scott and Damon Lindelof taking questions from the online community as well as a local live audience yesterday. They are introduced by my good nuddy George Roush of AMC. Ridley specifically talks about why he used 3D (click ahead to 7:30 to see this portion) and that "it works like a son of a bitch"!
This is a heads up for all your filmmakers out there that are on the edge of joining the 3D revolution but haven't yet stepped up - it really isn't that challenging if you are passionate about what you are doing in life. It's just another tool in the box, but it just so happens it's a tool that will make your films BETTER. And I agree 100% with that statement. No matter what the genre is, we naturally see in 3D. And 3D movies is a reminder to that - it will bring your audiences into your transportive story.
And remember guys, PROMETHEUS was shot and edited in S3D - so all these visuals we have been feasting our eyes on this weekend are going to be even better in 3D! We're going to BE THERE. I can't believe that this is in our near future but it is!!
And a special bonus! Check out the viral video from Weyland Industries revealing Michael Fassbender as an Android!! VERY cool:
Yes - you did see correctly last night that I twittered and facebooked the link to Yahoo to watch this trailer! I was just simply too tired to post it then and was literally on my way the bed when the comment came in on this. I definitely wanted my social media friends to see it fast though.Thanks to EBostock for the heads up about 18 hours ago!
Anyway, this thing is ultra hot. Some new scenes AND "vehicles" to name a couple things - I don't want to give it away though. Just watch it, you'll be glad you did.
I saw the North American version of this trailer preroll in front of JOHN CARTER in IMAX 3D and It. Was. Glorious. The conversion looks to be better than THOR and CAPTAIN AMERICA to my eyes, but then again they have had lots of time to perfect these relatively short clips. To early to say about the whole movie of course, but the trailer looks stunning in IMAX 3D.
The Japanese version though is definitely superior. Here you go!
Finally we are seeing some meat with those potatoes! Pixar has released the Japanese trailer for BRAVE and it is ten times the trailer for North America. I want to see this thing in HD!
The Japanese are known for loving mythic, beautiful lands and in particular lead characters that are red haired females. I know this because of ANNE OF GREEN GABLES which is extremely popular on the island nation. Anne too is a red haired beauty whose adventures through life are extremely compelling. All this to say I know BRAVE will be a huge hit for the studio in Japan.
Thus they get the best trailer yet. Our eyes are opened for the first time to many new scenes and the story is beginning to take shape visually.
Here's the storyline: Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts. Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Wise Woman (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.
**SAME DAY UPDATE: Check out these new images HERE and HERE! We're getting a very clear image of what The Lizard looks like quite early in the game...Thanks Simon for the links! While this international trailer is just about the same as the first trailer released by Sony, there are about four new shots to ogle here.So, with absolute fanboys comes absolute viewership! A must see if you ask me! :-)
Definitely take the time to watch this trailer guys! Very cool new footage for THE AVENGERS. I like what I see of Jeremy Renner's Hawkeye too.

When an unexpected enemy emerges that threatens global safety and security, Nick Fury, Director of the international peacekeeping agency known as S.H.I.E.L.D., finds himself in need of a team to pull the world back from the brink of disaster. Spanning the globe, a daring recruitment effort begins.

Jackson, and directed by Joss Whedon "Marvel's The Avengers" is based on the ever-popular Marvel comic book series "The Avengers," first published in 1963 and a comics institution ever since. Prepare yourself for an exciting event movie, packed with action and spectacular special effectswhen "Marvel's The Avengers" assemble in summer 2012.
