So it turns out that the Scarlet trailer is not a trailer for a movie at all but a trailer for a television. Crafty advertisers got the better of the FoxInsider and now we feel shame. It is one of the many reasons why we have been radio silent the last few days. Still now we are back and to make up for it here are some great trailers for some films that we know are genuine (subject to terms and conditions)
First up Mongol. The life and times of the early Ghengis Khan. A story never before told, or so the pitch goes, the producers having clearly bypassed the BBC documentary that was out last year. The trailer is a little too "baritone voice over guy" for my taste but the cinematography looks amazing and the Russian film makers are chucking out some corking stuff at the moment. Check it out. http://www.mongolmovie.com/teaser_trailer.html
Next is what looks like a big budget remake of Gross Pointe Blank, it even has the Cusack/Aykroyd pairing. That might be a little harsh. May I present War Inc. http://www.firstlookstudios.com/films/warinc/
To throw a little indie comedy into the mix here is Chaos Theory. http://chaostheorymovie.warnerbros.com/ Now I would usually rage against anything with Ryan Reynolds in. Not because he is a bad actor, he is actually very watchable, but because he has shattered my dreams and got engaged to Scarlett Johansson. Swine.
Probably the most beautiful movie trailer about at the moment, and verging on the most beautiful trailer ever made is that for The Fall. http://www.thefallthemovie.com/. Stars the guy from Pushing Daisies. Now there is something about this film that makes me think the story line is going to be missing. Either that or it is going to be so girly that you are going to nod off halfway through wake up four days later and realise you have not finished the third act yet. The English Patient, you know what I am talking about! Still if the trailer is anything to go by it is still going to be worth watching on the big screen.
Stiller's Tropic Thunder looks great. It may well be the come back year for Robert Downey Jr. How many times that has been said I don't know, but he looks on cracking form in Iron Man and he is blatantly going to steal this film. http://www.tropicthunder.com/
Finally, if you are not excited about this film then you have no right to be reading blogs on TV and Movies. http://www.indianajones.com/site/index.html. Sure there is the worry that Lucas will screw up another franchise and with it my entire childhood, but rumour has it that he spent the entire time on set, taped to his director's chair and ballgagged. Fingers crossed it is not long now!
