Before Indy last night we were treated to a mass of trailers, some of which were films I somehow hadn't heard anything about. Probably should have been keeping an eye on this thread a bit more. Eagle Eye, Hancock and The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emporer caught my eye. Hancock looks like it could be hilarious. Will Smith on top form is brilliantly funny and the premise seemed like it had a lot of scope for being a funny movie, and it certainly delivered in the trailer. Also, I love the Mummy fils (I even like Scorpion King a bit, in a kind of modern day Conan way), so a new outing for that gang is a bonus, although there was a lot of CG army footage during the trailer. Sure, they get their CG particles and undeadies done well, but lets not go overboard huh?

QUOTE (maian @ May 22 2008, 11:44 PM) ''Runaways'' being adapted for the screen Nice to see that Marvel are starting to look at some of their less well-known properties. As much as I like the big-budget, big name stuff I do wish that there were more small-scale, more interesting comic-book films being put out.  Runaways is in part a joke on the earlier comic book phenomenon, especially found in DC of writers feeling like they hadn't done a good job unless they'd put an alien and a wizard in a story. I worry slightly that the joke might not transfer to the screen. |

Burn After Reading Trailer - man oh man oh man, this looks good. You can tell that it's firmly in the Big Lebowski spirit with all kinds of weaving plots and characters. Could this be my favourite Coen brothers film of the year?

And a good all-celeb cast - Brad looks especially amusing. I would like to see this film now please. |

Looks very promising. Though I liked No Country For Old Men an awful lot, I much prefer the Coens when they lean towards the more outrightly comedic.
Not sure if it'll be as good as Raising Arizona, but I don't think many films are. |

Anything after the acclaim they got for No Country and winning the Oscar finally is going to be perceived as a come-down in some respects. Still, it looks like it could actually be a riot.
So my buddy Tim and his friends have entered that Watchmen contest where you make adverts for products by Adrian Veidt's corporation and the winners may get placed in the background in the film. Their entry's a bit rough around the edges, but it really captures the spirit of what its's sending up IMO. Check it out and if you like it, please vote for 'em? Spanks. I give you the lost Ozymandias action figure spot from 1985: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jeslfkbmcE I'm the smartest man in the wuuurrrrld...

Trailer for Baz Luhrman's Australia (2008) here. Looks visually impressive but what's the matter with Kidman's accent? She sounds very fake indeed. Sort of like Adam and Joe's Hello from the Big British Cahhhstle jingle.
I'm not a Luhrman fan at all but I would quite like to see this film. |

Guy Ritchie to direct SHERLOCK HOLMES
Hmm. I'll go with 'What is the definition of "fail"', Alex. WALL-E Movie Review - no spoilers Ok, I'm really excited about this now, and that's unlike me. Not sure how he can rank 'Finding Nemo' higher than 'Monsters Inc' though. |
