MUST SEE: New Japanese Trailer For THE AVENGERS!

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!



SOOOOOOO. Are you on board May 4 or what? :-)

Must Watch: New Japanese Trailer For Pixar's BRAVE - New Footage!

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.

Have a look!



Awesome. Want to see more! BRAVE opens June 22.

"U2 3D" Being Released In Japan

Here is some great news for our readers in Japan - National Geographic and 3ality Digital's U2 3D will be opening in March!

The very highly reviewed concert film from 2008 will open in 40 theaters. The reviews are spectacular with RottenTomatoes ranking it the 4th best movie of the year (92%!). Of course I raved about it.

U2 3D also recently won the "Best Musical Film" Award at the Los Premios MTV Latin American Video Music Awards. And justifiably so.

I have a very good friend living in the Tokyo area who I will check in with to see how the Japanese 3D theater experience feels. Enjoy Japan! ...and send me an email Peter! :-)
