Boxleitner says TRON 3 happening

Well yes, Bruce Boxleitner does say that the third TRON film is happening as it's a done deal, and he does say that it's going to be in 2013 most likely, but there are plenty of caveats to go with that to put the story in perspective. Still, he's said...

Elite Squad 2: The Enemy Within trailer hits hard

Elite Squad, or Tropa de Elite (Filmstalker review), is a very strong film that I saw back in June of 2008 and really enjoyed, and as soon as I heard there was a sequel I was keen to see what the writer and director José Padilha was going to deliver....

The Sitter adults only trailer

I could hardly be bothered to write about the trailer for The Sitter, but then as I wrote a little blurb for the Filmstalker Facebook Page saying how much I didn't like it, I realised how much I was writing and how little I did like it and thought, maybe...

Superman: Man of Steel production photo

The first shot of the new Superman in the form of Henry Cavill has arrived, and I'm not sure what people expected but the photography is a publicity shot that shows a man in a slightly darker than normal Superman costume with some wreckage behind him that looks like he...

Short Circuit remake turning CG?

I had thought that the idea for a remake of Short Circuit had fallen through. It's been a long time since we heard anything about the film, indeed the last we heard was October 2009 when Steve Carr was set to direct the film, and that was looking bad enough,...

New Moneyball trailer gets me for baseball

I'm not a baseball fan, in fact I think I can safely say I've never watched a full game, not more than pitch, but the latest trailer for Moneyball has me thinking I could be passionate about the game as much as Brad Pitt's character is. The story is taken...

The Caller trailer has something

I was watching the trailer for The Caller and thinking that it wasn't that strong a film and wasn't going to write about it, but to be honest I keep going back to the concept in my mind and wondering where it could go. It's clever one that we've seen...

Killer Elite second trailer online

This new trailer for Killer Elite shows Robert De Niro joining in on the assassination action with Jason Statham, adds in a little sexy hanky panky for Jason Statham in the form of Yvonne Strahovski, and then plenty of the rivalry between Statham and Clive Owen, well their characters at...

The Darkest Hour trailer invades with amazing effects

I wasn't sure what to expect from The Darkest Hour, but now I've seen it I'm totally taken by it. The effects are stunning and the ideas and visuals do look like they'll set the film apart from the usual alien invasion genre. The cast includes Emile Hirsch, Olivia Thirlby,...

New In Time trailer

There's a new trailer for In Time on the go, and while I don't think it's as strong as the previous trailer we saw, it's still pretty good. I already mentioned that the Andrew Niccol written and directed film stars Justin Timberlake, Amanda Seyfried, Olivia Wilde, Alex Pettyfer and Cillian...

Coppola's Twixt trailer arrives

Well I've just watched the trailer for Twixt and I have to say I'm rather perplexed. If I didn't know that Francis Ford Coppola had written and directed the film I would think it was another direct to DVD film for Val Kilmer, but then there's Elle Fanning in there...

Resurrect Dead documentary investigates strange messages

The trailer for Resurrect Dead: The Mystery of the Toynbee Tiles, a documentary no less, is intriguing and if you didn't know it was a documentary you'd be thinking it's some sort of faked "real footage" film, and I'm still not certain it isn't to be honest, but then I...

Texas Killing Fields Italian trailer

I am disappointed that this trailer is in Italian and not English because it looks so good. Originally I wasn't going to write about it but the trailer does look powerful and it's based on actual events, although with Hollywood we never really know how far that strays from the...

New Sympathy for Delicious trailer

I heard about this film a long time ago and it was January of 2010 that I first posted a trailer for the film and December 2008 that the film was first written about on the site. It's been a long wait but there's a new trailer for the Mark...

Like Crazy trailer

There are a number of sites talking about Like Crazy and showing the trailer, perhaps it's down to the co-writer and director Drake Doremus, or perhaps it's because it stars Anton Yelchin, Felicity Jones, Jennifer Lawrence and Alex Kingston. Personally though I think the trailer isn't a good advertisement for...

Die Hard 5 director and plot talk

Die Hard 5 has been talked about on and off since the fourth was rolled out to audiences who lapped up the new and slightly aging John McClane, but like the last film there's not been a huge amount of movement on what could be the final one in the...

Red Tails trailer

First of all let's put things in context so we don't start expecting silly little furry creatures to appear in the middle of the film, George Lucas helped with the story and production, John Ridley wrote the screenplay and Anthony Hemingway directed, so let's (and this includes me) get over...
