Sure, the fall-movie season hype right now orbits a few big festivals and early awards favorites, but let's not get too ahead of ourselves. After all, we've still got Triple Dog* in front of us -- and it looks awesome.
What a week for the Fox Searchlight promo team: Last Tuesday, they debuted the trailer for Darren Aronofsky's highly anticipated Black Swan, and today, it's time for the trailer to Danny Boyle's Slumdog Millionaire follow-up 127 Hours, starring James Franco. There's only one problem: Which of these horses will the studio back come Oscar time?
Calling all Howard Beales! The trailer has arrived for Inside Job, the newest lightning rod documentary from No End in Sight director Charles Ferguson, and it will probably make you want to get up from your chairs, open the window, stick your head out and... you get the idea.
And just like that, you found some plans for Halloween night. AMC has released a four-minute sizzle reel for their brand new zombie series The Walking Dead -- which is scheduled to premiere on October 31 at 10pm -- and it looks positively Romero-y (or, 28 Days Later-y?).
Appropriately enough for a Sunday morning, clips from the latest installment of everyone's favorite Jesus-tinged adventure series, The Chronicles of Narnia, have been released. Older siblings Peter and Susan are gone, replaced by their pug-nosed brat cousin named Eustace, who accompanies Lucy and Edmund Pevensie back to Narnia. I'm sure his bratty behavior will lead to an Aslan-led intervention, but I don't know if I can handle two-plus hours of listening to him whinge. Check out the clips and judge for yourself!
4 clips of Robert Rodriguez's new Mexploitation flickMachete have surfaced online, and while the last glimpse we had of Danny Trejo's blade-wielding anti-hero made excellent use of blood 'n guts, these clips are little less gory and show off the impressive supporting cast, including Michelle Rodriguez, Jessica Alba and Robert DeNiro doing his best George W. Bush impression.
It's one of five films opening in a congested late-summer dumping grounds -- but is that really the fate the Jennifer Aniston/Jason Bateman comedy The Switch deserves? To hear Movieline's chief film critic Stephanie Zacharek tell it in her latest video review, Bateman alone is reason not to sweep this one under the August rug. Take it away, Stephanie!
Congratulations, America! Like the rest of the developed world, soon you, too, will get to experience Case 39. The horror movie that Renee Zellweger and Bradley Cooper shot all the way back in 2006 is finally (finally!) scheduled for release on Oct. 1 -- never mind that interested parties could probably find it on DVD by doing a Google search -- and based on the trailer, expect it to make slightly more than Twelve.
You knew that Batman had landed in a pretty bleak place at the end of The Dark Knight, but no one knew quite how bleak until this week, when the Caped Crusader hit bottom -- at a Taco Bell. Video after the jump.
Because one movie about Plamegate wasn't enough -- raise your hand if you saw Nothing but the Truth -- here comes the trailer for Fair Game, better known around these parts as Doug Liman's self-professed "really great movie." Um, about that: maybe it just needs a better trailer?
Unless there's some terms-of-service stipulation that entitles studios to use Chatroulette users' likenesses in marketing campaigns, let's just presume that everything in this viral video promoting The Last Exorcism is fake. That said: Hey, did you see the borderline NSFW Chatroulette viral video promoting The Last Exorcism? Amusing!
Have you been wondering what Justin Bieber's sure-to-be Strasbergian turn on the season premiere of CSI will look like? Wonder no more, Bieber Feverers, as CBS can now offer the first moving pictures of Bieber as "a troubled teen who is faced with a terrible decision regarding his only brother -- a decision that leads him into an explosive confrontation with the CSIs." But first, 50 seconds about the utter insanity that is CSI.
There is a moment while watching the international trailer for Little Fockers (Spanish-subtitled, because why not) where you may think, "This looks tolerable. Hey, Robert De Niro and Ben Stiller aren't at odds anymore. That's good, maybe they're doing something different with this franchise." Then Stiller's son projectile-vomits in his face, and Stiller himself squirts blood on his entire family.
Yep, you read that right: There's a trailer for a commercial. But not just any commercial, mind you -- this is for Frank Miller's upcoming bit of ad wizardry for the new fragrance "Gucci Guilty." What can you expect when this thing premieres during the MTV Video Music Awards on Sept. 12, besides that it'll automatically be better than The Spirit?
At Movieline, we know what you want, and so you can count on us to bring you two kinds of videos: anything tangentially related to Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and anything that has celebrities singing karaoke versions of famous songs. Thus, this video of Joseph Gordon-Levitt singing Aretha Franklin's "(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman" was a no-brainer. Enjoy!
