Rachel McAdams has, most times, been the lovable girl next door and Noomi Rapace is, thanks to the Dragon Tattoo trilogy, riding high in Hollywood (really hope she is more than a foreign flavor of the year and becomes the next big thing). But the two of them look poised to really push their boundaries in the official trailer for Brian DePalma’s TIFF selected film Passion. How does it stack up to his other bold and artistic films like Sisters, Blow Out, Carrie and Scarface…guess we’ll find out but the trailer does look rather edgy in a 90’s kind of way. Enjoy! A remake of Love Crime, the French film by Alain Corneau, DePalma…

Sweet Teaser Trailer…'Zero Dark Thirty'
A few years ago, director Kathryn Bigelow was the talk of Hollywood with The Hurt Locker. Well, very much in the same vein of that film, word arose some months back that she would be working on an action-oriented story about the final days of Osama Bin Laden. Her film, titled Zero Dark Thirty is based on the true events surrounding the raid on his complex by the Navy SEAL Team 6. This teaser gives us even less info about the famous historical event but is worth a look. So feast your eyes on the cinematic beginning of the end for the al Qaeda leader. Directed by Oscar-winner Kathryn Bigelow (does…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…Disney's 'Oz: The Great and Powerful' – UPDATED
Disney looks to have quite the line up as their Wreck-It Ralph will hit theaters this November but next year we get an even more fantastical story with Sam Raimi’s Oz: The Great and Powerful. Raimi looks to trade web-shooters and campy horror for the Yellow Brick Road and wizards/witches. We got a stunningly gorgeous teaser poster last week and now, from Hall H of Comic-Con, comes this first look at the return to the mystical land of Oz in L. Frank Baum’s beloved story…enjoy! Oh, and make sure you take note of the sly transition from 4:3 to wide screen. From a screenplay by Mitchell Kapner and David Lindsay-Abaire Oz The Great and Powerfuldirected by Sam…

Ohhh, Look…First Teaser Poster for Disney's 'Oz the Great and Powerful'
One of the great things that’s happening in Hollywood is the exploration of ideas behind films we love. Back stories, prequels and the like show us a side to films/characters we thought we know and, when they’re done successfully, give much more depth and intricacy. However this isn’t the first time our understanding of Oz has been altered or enhanced as the Broadway musical Wicked is highly entertaining as it takes huge liberties with L. Frank Baum’s beloved story. But while Wicked focused on the little seen (and misunderstood) Witches, now we get a story from the side of another character who is just as important in the film, the actual Wizard of Oz: When…

Sweet Teaser Trailer…'Jack Reacher'
Proof positive that like a good wine, Cruise gets better (and more bad-ass) with age. Behold the official first teaser trailer for Jack Reacher, the latest from writer/director Christopher McQuarrie (remember him?) and the one, the only Tom Cruise. Based on the Lee Child novel/crime series One Shot, Jack Reacher is a homicide investigator digs deeper into a case involving a trained military sniper who shot five random victims. Enjoy… Christopher McQuarrie (The Usual Suspects, The Way of the Gun) makes a pretty slick looking return to films as he both writes and directs this adaption from Child’s novel. Along for the wild ride is a pretty stellar A-list crew including…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Epic'
In Blue Sky Studios‘ upcoming film Epic a teenager finds herself transported to a deep forest setting where a battle between the forces of good and evil rages on. She bands together with a rag-tag group characters in order to save their world — and ours. If this sounds sort of like a certain forest based adventure that starts with Fern and ends with gully, lets just put a little faith in Blue Sky that they’ve got something better to offer than a CG remake. Suffer one advert and enjoy this marvelously vibrant first look at Epic. Based on William Joyce’s children’s book known as The Leaf Men, Chris Wedge (Ice…

Teaser Trailer…'The Host'
Now that the saga of the Cullens is breaking dawn, I mean winding down (and we’re not going to see The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner on the big screen) what will fans of Stephanie Meyer do? Well there’s always fan-fiction and aside from reading/watching the series again and again, they can start getting excited about Meyer’s other fairly popular novel The Host. Going for a sci-fi angle this time, Meyer’s story is about an alien invasion and focuses on one of the last humans who chooses to fight back. Not much to it but it’s got an interesting premise. Have a look… The Host stars Saoirse Ronan as Melanie Stryder the girl who takes a…

Sweet (Red Band) Teaser…'Cosmopolis'
David Cronenberg is undoubtedly a visionary…even if most people don’t get or understand his vision. Still, just to make it through any number of his films, like Naked Lunch or Videodrome for instance, deserves a pat on the back. His last film A Dangerous Method didn’t seem all too Cronenbergish but don’t worry dear fans, he still has weird on the brain. Case in point. The upcoming film Cosmoplolis which stars Robert Pattinson who plays a young billionaire Eric Packer. Recently faced with losing his empire, he begins to uncover clues that lead him to a more dire and terrifying secret: his imminent assassination. All you R-Pat fans, be advised, this teaser is weird and more importantly NSFW.…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Frankenweenie'
Looks like trailer week continues as today we’re treated to the teaser for Tim Burton’s long awaited Frankenweenie. This animated feature, expanded from his short from 1984, is about a boy who brings his dead dog back to life. Similarly styled and stop-motion animated like A Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride, this should hit home for those die-hard Burton fans out there. I’m not the biggest Nightmare Before Christmas fan but this does look pretty cute. Have a look… Originally when Burton created the short film in ’84 Disney fired him for making something that was apparently too scary for family audiences. This feature length film has certainly been a long time coming…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Neighborhood Watch'
Here’s a little something to help you finish up your day. The video below is a teaser trailer for the new comedy Neighborhood Watch starring Ben Stiller, Vince Vaughn, Jonah Hill and Richard Ayoade. It’s not great but it has enough humor to possibly get a chuckle out of you. Have a look… It does seem ho-hum even for a teaser, but I wouldn’t write it off yet as this is directed by Akiva Schaffer and written by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg. Sure you might think it has a sort of a Dodgeball meets Wild Hogs aging hipster vibe but the teaser is a bit misleading. FOr some clarification,…
