The long, strange saga of Trespass is piling on the milestones of late, with this week's TIFF premiere announcement supplemented today by a new trailer. Is this home-invasion thriller, as one early viewer noted not too long ago, in fact Joel Schumacher's Funny Games? Maybe, maybe not, but one thing is certain: This definitely looks like Joel Schumacher's latest Joel Schumacher film.
Fighter piloting is inherently cinematic, so when a new movie comes out in the vein of Memphis Belle and Top Gun, I already hear the swells of music and gunfire. But in the case of Red Tails, the new Anthony Hemingway drama that arrives in theaters January 20, the grace of the genre is replaced with spotty dialogue and catatonic performances. Cuba Gooding Jr., you may as well call this movie Plane Trip.
In this summer's Captain America, Chris Evans embodies a sickly man who, after being injected with miracle drug, becomes a crime-fighting hero. In this September's based-on-a-true-story indie Puncture, Chris Evans plays a sickly (in the drug-addicted sense) lawyer who chooses to fight health care crime in the court room. Watch Evans transition away from his Marvel superhero role in the first trailer for Puncture after the jump.
The logline for The Woman in Black, Daniel Radcliffe's first post-Harry Potter film, is as follows: "While taking care of a deceased client's estate, a young lawyer encounters a mysterious woman dressed in black and uncovers a tragic secret." Sounds typical? What that neglects to tell you, however, is that The Woman in Black features enough creepy dolls, creepy photographs and creepy images to give you day terrors. (Are "day terrors" a thing? They should be.) Click through to watch the scariest trailer of the week/month and to check out its 10 most unsettling images.
No matter what you thought of the Oscars, Anne Hathaway remains a class act who seems chronically unable to take herself seriously. That's the royal likability you pick up in Genovia. On Conan last night, the newly ordained Catwoman rapped (in the style of Lil Wayne) about her brushes with the paparazzi. And now? She's already become the most impressive Catwoman ever -- besides Sean Young.
Since modern sex comedies are so often listless (see: The Change-Up), perhaps a trip back to the 19th century will liven things up. Fresh off announcing the Gala premiere of the Tanya Wexler-directed Hysteria, the Toronto International Film Festival has released a new trailer for the period sex comedy replete with more orgasms than most late night Skinemax films. Scandalous! Or at least an heir to the throne of sexual antics of Road to Wellville.
Milla Jovovich has squared off against many insidious adversaries in her career, including zombies (Resident Evil), evil itself (The Fifth Element), and critics (The Messenger). So why is it that her latest foe, a real-life affliction known as prosopagnosia -- which confuses a person's ability to recognize the faces of friends and loved ones (or, in Jovovich's case in Faces in the Crowd, the face of her would-be killer) -- seem like the silliest and most far-fetched enemy of all?
What do Madonna and Movieline staff editor Louis Virtel have in common? August birthdays, for starters -- which brings us to the jumping-off point for the latest episode of Verbal Vogueing. And that's not all! This jam-packed NSFW edition features everything from #BannedChildrensBooks to the best Tim Gunn impression you've heard all day. Next. Level. Click through to check it out.
First 50/50 released a theatrical trailer some 30 seconds shorter than its teaser trailer, and now Footloose has done the same thing. Is this the beginnings of a trend? Have the definitions of "trailer" and "teaser" been reversed at some point in the last 48 hours? Will there be a memo sent out explaining the cause? Silly questions, sure, but also more interesting than what's presented in the somewhat boring new trailer for Footloose. Bring back the "teaser"!
Whilst watching the Shrek franchise, you may have wondered: How does Puss, the swashbuckling cat voiced by Antonio Banderas, justify donning footwear but not clothes? A new video for his upcoming spin-off movie, Puss in Boots, has your answer. This movie star endorses a freer, more versatile lifestyle choice: No-pants pants!
What do you get when you combine Jay-Z, Kanye West, pyrotechnics and an Otis Redding sample? Apparently, the new Spike Jonze-directed music video for "Otis," a track off of Jay-Z and Kanye West's collaborative album Watch the Throne inspired by Redding's "Try a Little Tenderness." Click through to take a look at the explosive fun and keep an eye out for a cameo by 30 Minutes or Less star Aziz Ansari.
"If you were a casino game, you'd have the best odds." So says Kyle (Seth Rogen) to his best friend Adam (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) after finding out he has a 50/50 chance of beating his recently diagnosed cancer. Based on the real-life experience of screenwriter (and Rogen pal) Will Reiser, 50/50 is hoping to thread the needle between comedy and drama, all while dealing with a touchy subject: potentially terminal illness. Judging from the latest trailer, it won't be as hard as you'd imagine. Click through for a look.
If there's one simple request I have of Kevin Spacey, it's that he take one movie off from wearing a suit. Mix it up! Grow your hair out! Wear schlubby clothes! Don't always be so Kevin Spacey-esque, Kevin Spacey, because it's become a thing and we're all tired of it. Which is why the new trailer for the indie comedy Father of Invention seems a step in the right direction. Long prison beard and an everyman's sense of humility? Bring it on, Spaceman.
Oh, no; Taylor Lautner's life is a lie! In the new trailer for Abduction, Twilight's crybaby sex wolf enters a world of intrigue and fear -- and I do mean the fearful stare of Sigourney Weaver, who suddenly resembles Christopher Walken when acting terrified. Will Taylor Lautner be smooth enough to survive when he's stripped of his identity instead of his clothes?
If you're already sick of seeing the same cheery holiday movie previews (and that would be unfortunate since it's only August), behold: a yuletide trailer that will get your cynical juices flowing. How am I so sure? Because Harold & Kumar 3D Christmas offers the only preview clip in the history of man (and movie trailers) to begin with the words, "I shot Santa Claus in the face. He's real and I shot him in the face." Jump ahead to watch the stoner-on-Santa violence and to see what happens when Neil Patrick Harris runs into Jesus Christ at a bar. (It's hilarious, I assure you).
