The marketing for X-Men: First Class was derided for most of the year, but these latest character trailers continue a positive trend for the Matthew Vaughn-directed origin story. Click ahead to learn a little bit about Havok (Lucas Till) and Banshee (Caleb Landry Jones), and to see the romance between Beast (Nicholas Hoult) and Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) start to bloom.
Hot on the heels of Fast Five's post-racial success at the box office comes the first trailer for Lionsgate's Conan the Barbarian, a suitably metal-scored, sword-swinging affair featuring hunky Jason Momoa as the titular warrior. Coincidence of timing or part of a brave new movement in big, beefy action filmmaking? Consider this: the baddies are played by Rose McGowan and Avatar's Stephen Lang. Ah, fantasy: The great equalizer!
I'd hate for any of us to get ahead of ourselves about next Oscar season when blockbuster season technically hasn't yet commenced, but still: This year's Sundance award-winner Martha Marcy May Marlene made a breakout star of leading lady Elizabeth Olsen in a fashion reminiscent of Jennifer Lawrence a year ago. The trophy-sniffing wizards at Fox Searchlight have it slotted for a prime October release date. You already know you should see it by virtue of its glowing critical response, so there's only one thing to do when watching the film's first trailer, which was released today: Guess the Oscar clip!
Once in a great while a movie comes along that leaves you forever changed. Will the tongue-in-cheek (and in-other places) neo-noir The Big Bang be such a movie? In three new clips, watch private dick Antonio Banderas as he learns dirty porn secrets from XXX director Snoop Dogg, meets James Van Der Beek and his "albino little person" companion, and engages maybe-crazy mad scientist Sam Elliott in a conversation about dropping acid, physics, and God's "magic wand." Right!
Warner Bros. knew they had a problem with the first trailer for Green Lantern, so following a stop at WonderCon to debut a round of fresh footage, the studio went back to the drawing board. The results? This new theatrical trailer that highlights not only the epic scope of Green Lantern, but Ryan Reynolds' jacked torso, Peter Sarsgaard's crazy-ass alien head, and the destructive force of Parallax. Click ahead to see Green Lantern's light.
The Kathryn Bigelow-directed movie about the death of Osama bin Laden might not shoot until later this summer, but that doesn't mean there can't be a trailer! At least a trailer created by cuckoo-bananas Taiwanese news animators NMA, which makes the planned film look like a cross between Doom and an episode of The West Wing. Not that it won't look like that anyway. Click ahead to watch.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has a number of high-profile films in the works, but the Jon M. Chu-directed sequel to 2009's G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra isn't one of them. After the jump, watch JGL expertly break the news while avoiding Dark Knight Rises talk, enthusing over Rian Johnson's Looper, and pimping his new film, Hesher.
After a sea of topless mermaid posters and some sketchy promotional artwork, Disney has finally released the first clip from this summer's Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides. It may not include any clothes-poor ocean nymphs or pencil portraits of Penelope Cruz but it does feature Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow as he charms and chandelier-swings his way out of an awkward situation with the King of England and Captain Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush). Enjoy!
What would happen if you were torn between your nut job Christian husband (Patrick Wilson) and a dreamy Atheist played by Sons of Anarchy's Charlie Hunman? Allow Matthew Chapman, the Runaway Jury screenwriter and the great-great grandson of Charles Darwin, to show you in his upcoming thriller The Ledge.
Elton John and Leon Russell aren't the only musicians getting the Cameron Crowe documentary treatment in 2011. Crowe also directed a documentary about Pearl Jam to coincide with its 20th anniversary this fall. The band recently released a short clip for Pearl Jam Twenty (its current title), highlighting the moment Pearl Jam was born. Pull on your best flannel and click ahead for a quick look.
Following the world-altering news that Osama bin Laden was killed on Sunday night, New York Times vice president of corporate communications Eileen Murphy had to do something you only see in the movies. "The news broke really late, and by that time we were already in the middle of the printing run," she told FishbowlNY. "[B]ecause of the magnitude of the news, the order was given to stop the presses." If that kind of newsroom story makes your heart race, you're going to want to check out the trailer for Page One: Inside the 'New York Times.
It may have been released last year, but I think we can agree that short films about dinner table anarchy and Nazi confrontation are a cinematic evergreen. Lost scribe Damon Lindelof's strange 10-minute romp centers around Dade Klublershturf (Samm Levine of Freaks and Geeks), who brings home his German girlfriend (Rachel Nichols) to bewildered parents played by the awesome Lainie Kazan and George Segal (whose work here is the closest thing you'll see to a hybrid of Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf and Just Shoot Me). Then a pre-Thor Chris Hemsworth joins the fun as a smiley member of the Fourth Reich. Makes perfect sense, no? Watch after the jump.
If you're not sure whether or not you want to see Juan Carlos Fresnadillo remake The Crow, maybe this teaser from the director's upcoming horror film starring Clive Owen will help persuade you one way or the other. In it, Clive Owen plays a protective father who helps his 12-year-old daughter (Never Let Me Go's Ella Purnell) confront her own bedtime monsters -- some of which may have been passed down by his family.
Do you think a a gaggle of women suffering gastrointestinal disturbances during a dress fitting is hilarious or just lazy comedy? Watch this minute-long clip from Bridesmaids -- in which Kristen Wiig, Ellie Kemper, Melissa McCarthy and Wendi McLendon-Covey face the expected -- and decide for yourself.
The White House Correspondents' Association Dinner was held in Washington, DC on Saturday night, and amid much Donald Trump bashing -- key speaker Seth Meyers roundly eviscerated the Celebrity Apprentice host -- President Barack Obama debuted a fake trailer for The President's Speech. As you can guess, it owes much to recent Best Picture winner The King's Speech, as well as Peter Gabriel, "Shimmy Shimmy Ya," and Joe Biden's foot-in-mouth disease. Click ahead to watch.
