The Sundance comedy Our Idiot Brother is pretty much perfectly cast: From the titular Paul Rudd role to the hard-edged Elizabeth Banks part to the hipster Zooey Deschanel character, everyone is just right and apparently unafraid of typecasting. In this new trailer, Rudd harries his three sisters (Banks, Deschanel, and typically prickly Emily Mortimer), and Rashida Jones rushes in to act as a saving grace.

Back in 2010, Disney/Pixar announced that they had such a great time making the family film Cars -- which grossed nearly $250 million domestically -- that they would continue the fun with Cars 2 (due in theaters this June 24) and Planes, a sensible spin-off for the anthropomorphic transportation series that would get a direct-to-DVD roll-out in the spring of 2013. Now that the trailer for Planes is available, the question must be raised: Does Pixar want anything to do with this?

Have you ever dreamed of becoming a serial killer only to realize that your commitment to a full-time job is keeping you from achieving said aspirations?

On the heels of the Captain America: The First Avenger character posters unveiled last week, Paramount Pictures has debuted the first TV spot for the Marvel film. And unlike the Nazi-hating trailer, the new 30-second clip teases plenty of shield play.

Regardless of where you fall on the ideological spectrum regarding abortion, you'll likely find something cringeworthy in The Life Zone. Written and produced by former New Jersey judge/current State Senate hopeful (and, according to Zone's trailer, "Best-selling Author)" Kenneth Del Vecchio, the film premiered over the weekend at the Hoboken International Film Festival (which Del Vecchio, uh, founded) and is making the rounds as a trailblazing example of pro-life cinema -- and not necessarily in a good way. Movieline has yet to check the film out but has inventoried all of the peripheral jaw-droppery in the news:

The Help pairs two of my favorite things: comic actresses and overblown, rootin'-tootin' Southern accents. Unfortunately, they seem to form a cliched, self-serious mix in this new clip from the upcoming film (based on Kathryn Stockett's book about African-American maids working in white households), as Emma Stone and Allison Janney forfeit their knack for punchlines, and fight for the title of Yosemite Samantha using their insane drawls.

Last month, DreamWorks debuted the first trailer for Craig Gillespie's 3-D remake of Fright Night. The film features a sarcastic high schooler (Anton Yelchin) who tries to stop his hunky vampire neighbor (Colin Farrell) from terrorizing the members of his suburban town -- specifically his mom (Toni Collette) and surprisingly hot girlfriend (Imogen Poots). And in a new glimpse of the film, we see how Yelchin actually plans on taking down Jerry -- a.k.a. the vampire with the worst name ever.

If The Notebook didn't quench your thirst for improbable romances involving Rachel McAdams and memory loss, check out the first trailer for The Vow. The syrupy sweet drama from Michael Sucsy (HBO's Grey Gardens) stars McAdams and Channing Tatum as the kind of PDA-heavy newlyweds you hate until an unfortunate car accident (that happens because the pair can't keep their hands off of each other, ahem) causes one spouse to go all amnesiac on the other. Sad!

Four days after a "pirated" red-band teaser trailer for David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo surfaced on the Internet -- perfectly framed and in stereo, no less, prompting suspicion at Movieline -- Sony has unveiled the official trailer for "The Feel Bad Movie of Christmas."

There's something about the end of August and horror movies that just goes hand-in-hand. Maybe it's because after a long summer of popcorn and lemonade, the only way to prepare for the broken tree limbs and dead leaves of fall is to get the crap scared out of you all at once. As such, say hello to the full trailer for Don't Be Afraid of the Dark from producer Guillermo del Toro. Cover your eyes and click ahead for a jolt.

So it's Saturday afternoon on Memorial Day Weekend, and all's quiet on the movie news front. Suddenly, a full five days before it's scheduled to debut online, a red-band teaser trailer for David Fincher's adaptation of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo makes its way to YouTube. It's handheld, reportedly grabbed off the screen ahead of a Hangover Part II screening, according to Sony. There's nothing we can do with it, because studios have rules against disseminating pirated, leaked or otherwise unauthorized material, and it's easier to observe them than to have an angry publicist blowing up your inbox or phone. But what if the studio is doing the leaking?

Last year at this time, a low quality trailer for the Rachel Weisz thriller The Whistleblower found its way online. Since then, the film premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and was picked up for distribution by Samuel Goldwyn Films, who have finally released the official trailer.
