If you are looking for some kick-ass western action, then look no further than the first trailer for James Mangold's 3:10 to Yuma. The movie stars Christian Bale and Russell Crowe and is all about a group of men who have to transport a villain (Crowe) to jail, with the trip turning out to be a bit more eventful than most of the travellers had hoped for. The trailer is more than happy to throw a few spoilers your way, but I'll guess we'll have to let that slide for once, since it's all backed up by the type of cool wild west action we haven't see for too long.
If you are wondering what on earth an Animation Progression Reel is, well it's basically a clip of an animated, where the beginning of the clip is shown in sketch form, with the animation progessing stage by stage as the reel continues. Which is what Pixar did with this scene from Ratatouille.
It's getting more and more difficult to distinguish between all the different Transformers clips, trailers and TV spots doing the rounds, but here is a new one. It's low on action, but shows there are also some ligher moments in this picture, as we see Shia Labeouf trying to hide some Autobots from his father in the backyard.
I'm guessing that this is the TV-spot I posted a link to yesterday, but with all those spots and clips for Transformers it's hard to keep them apart. Anyway, it's now online in a very high resolution and it's exactly like a spot for an expensive summer blockbuster should be: mindblowing! Get clicking, and get ready to keep clicking so you can see it again and again.
The new Die Hard movie is just around the corner, and in interviews everywhere, Bruce Willis is telling people that it's going to be just as good as the earlier Die Hard movies. But when you compare the trailers for both the original Die Hard and the fourth part, you can see that something is missing from the trailer for Live Free or Die Hard. Because while the Willis of Live Free or Die Hard is a grumpy old man, snarling his one liners in between performing unbelievable feats, the Bruce Willis of the original Die Hard seems a lot more likeable. You don't get the impression he is gloating over what he is doing (okay, if you have saves the world three times already then you are allowed to gloat a little), and Willis the actor actually seems to be enjoying himself. Plus, he has a full head of hair, not that that has anything to do with. In other words, the trailer for the original just promises more fun, and while I really do want to see Live Free or Die Hard, the trailer for Die Hard is just a much better teaser than anything we have seen so far from the new movie.
Add this movie to your Most Wanted list: Here we have the first trailer for American Gangster, RIdley Scott's gangster movie starring Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe. A killer director, a killer cast, and as you can expect, a killer trailer. This could be a movie to add to the canon of classic gangster movies, let's hope the full movie is as impressive as this small peek into the future.
Here we have what might very well be the coolest trailer of the year, for a movie that has had me interested since the first time I saw that image of Clive Owen holding a baby in one hand, and a gun in one hand. In the movie he has to protect a baby and it's mother (Monica Belluci) from a hitman (Paul Giamatti) and his rather large posse of thugs, whilst also trying to find out why somebody would want this cute baby dead. The trailer is high action, but also very funny, with Giamatti in a role that seems to be a perfect fit, while Owen gets the chance to show off he's great in action movies. I could go on, but let's just conclude: This is really a very good trailer!
