Trailers & New Movies: Coming Soon to a Cinema Near You!

[Crim]

Knight of Cups is the ONLY movie that looks good, but that was a given before the trailer.

 

Marvel's latest doesn't look bad either, once one gets over the trailer being so frantic and roughly edited -.-:

Going to see Creed, it was very obvious that the trailer selection had been made with an "urban" audience in mind.  There were four trailers, three of them for movies with black casts or leads:  Barbershop 3 (also like Creed in that it's a sequel to an old movie series), Central Intelligence (which got a huge response from the audience; that one's going to be big, I think), and something called Fifty Shades of Black (which was actually a decent trailer parody, but I can't imagine it will be anything other than excruciating at feature length).

Redband trailer for The Nice Guys:

Man, that looks good.

How the hell does Helen Mirren look as natural in fatigues as she does in regal get-up as Queen Elizabeth II?

[Rick Kitchen]

Because she's a badass.  :)

I remember Ryan Gosling on Breaker High where he was the goofy comic relief. I do not remember laughing as much as I did in that trailer.

Redband trailer for The Nice Guys:

Man, I know Russell Crowe has a deserved reputation of being an asshole (not to mention, all those puns about his singing skills), but I just can't help it: when he's good, he's really good.  And he looks like he'll be great in this.  Plus, seeing Kim Basinger in this too reminds me of L.A. Confidential, which is probably one of my favorites.

The US has engaged in drone strikes that have killed civilians in places like wedding parties and hospitals and this movie turns the British into the morally conflicted  "bad" guys?

Is that Matt Bomer as the guy shooting at them?

[Jamoche]

 something called Fifty Shades of Black (which was actually a decent trailer parody, but I can't imagine it will be anything other than excruciating at feature length).

Yep. It's posted on the previous page, and I admit I laughed - but I also know that spoof movies use up all their laughs in the trailers.

[dusang]

I didn't spot him in the trailer but he's definitely in the cast.

Kellen Lutz is Channing Tatum minus the charm and charisma.

So he's exactly the same as Channing Tatum?

[JBC344]

I like Channing, but I would say that he has more "nice guy likeability" than charm or charisma. And depending on the movie he can be incredibly sexy.

Oooh, burn!

 

I feel like Channing Tatum is hot in that "nice, friendly dumb jock that you wanted to fuck in high school/college" kind of way.

[Bruinsfan]

That's not exactly a foreign concept to Kellan Lutz, either. I do think Channing is much better at acting and commanding attention, though. He's most compelling when in motion, whereas Lutz really comes into his own in still pictures.

 

I don't even need to click play, just seeing Michele Yeoh's face featured in the cover image guarantees me buying a ticket for opening weekend.

I read an article a few years ago where the author was basically saying Channing Tatum and Malin Akerman were both essentially mediocre actors but were clearly trying to improve and working with good people and seemed like good people and all power to them.  I could kind of see the guy's point.  Also, Channing's willingness to look a fool (see: the Jump Street series, This is the End) is a huge mark in his favour.

[Bruinsfan]

I think Channing has improved by leaps and bounds thanks to that strategy. His performance in Foxcatcher was in an entirely different league from his cigar store Indian impression in that GI Joe movie a few years ago. Obviously not on the level of Ruffalo's or Carrell's, but he in no way embarrassed himself acting opposite them.

[SeanC]

 

Spielberg and Dahl seemed like a weird stylistic pairing, but this is a good teaser.

In Channing's defense, G.I. Joe was a travesty from start to finish, no actor living or dead could have salvaged it.

[Bruinsfan]

Well, true. When people like Christopher Eccleston and Joseph Gordon-Levitt are crashing and burning, there's not much hope for a novice actor who'd been mainly hired for his dancing ability and his abs up to that point. (This is the script that had subs dodging big chunks of sinking ice, after all. It made The Core look like a Discovery Channel documentary!)

I sort of want to see that for the mancandy but I'm also a little afraid of all the ways it could go wrong.

I think it's a netflix/DVD kind of movie. With wine.

[thuganomics85]

 

Both Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz are in this?  Did they get confused and think this was being directed by Quentin Tarantino?

Earlier I wrote that I was embarrassed to admit how much I was looking forward to Zoolander 2. Uhh, you can add Independence Day 2 to the list. 

 

It looks like a mashup of two of my guiltiest pleasures. the original ID, and Armageddon (They even added William Fichtner to the cast!). And I.can't.wait.

 

(Will, I think you made a mistake not signing on for this. That movie is going to make a billion times more money than After Earth.)

Holy shit... I'm actually a little teary.  (I cannot believe I am about to question the logic of ID2 but why is Bill Pullman still president?)

[methodwriter85]

That actually looks good. I'm kind of shocked. It also reminds me how much special effects and CGI have improved since 1996.

Now this trailer I liked. Interesting and not giving away too much. It was the first time I heard of High-Rise, but I checked it out ASAP.

Aw, now I have to see this!  :)

Pretty sure he's not, pretty sure Sela Ward's the president.

[dusang]

Then why is he making the rousing speech? (Apart from the convenience of using the established character for the audience to connect with.)

That was the speech from the first movie.

[methodwriter85]

I really like Scott Eastwood, but man, this couldn't look more B-movie western if it tried.

[Chrissytd]

[Spartan Girl]

Fantastic Beasts looks AWESOME.  The minute the voiceover said "Lumos Maximus" I think I wept a little.

Nothing wrong with B-movie westerns, they helped pay for the house he grew up in.

Gods of Egypt trailer 2. Even outside the whitewashing, it still looks like a terrible CG mess. Also, giant snakes. That's three strikes against it, and it just doesn't look entertaining even in a crap way. No thanks.

[AimingforYoko]

Wow, someone decided to remake Martyrs? How much cocaine was needed to decide that was a good idea?

[Bruinsfan]

Has it made a lot of money in home DVD thanks to the gamer crowd? Last I heard it had only earned about half its production budget back at the box office, which doesn't scream "sure-fire hit as an American remake" to me.

[Trini]

 

One of the things I liked about KP2 was that they toned down Jack Black's "Jack Black schtick"; now it looks like they dialed it up again for this sequel. ::sigh::

[Chrissytd]

[xaxat]

Did I see that correctly? Alfred Molina is playing an Afghan?

[BatmanBeatles]

He played an Iranian in Not Without My Daughter.
