The spy world is bigger than we ever imaged and to show it is this teaser for the Tony Gilroy written & directed parallel to the Doug Liman/Paul Greengrass films. Even the tag line “There was never just one” is smart and speaks volumes. Cemented as a bad-ass in The Hurt Locker and hot off the success of the latest Mission Impossible, Jeremy Renner looks to become the next big action hero. This film will be the start of a whole new series following a Jason Bourne-like agent. But since it’s as much about the agency as it is the agent, there’s plenty of nods to the Damon films as well as familiar faces with…

Sweet (2nd) Trailer…'The Amazing Spider-Man'
The term “jaw-dropping” gets thrown around a lot when talking about films. But how many trailers do you recall that you think deserved to be called the same? Today we have the second full trailer for Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man and I think it is totally jaw-dropping!! Many, many people were curious to see how anyone would top the Raimi films (putting aside the fact that this series reboot was started so insultingly soon after Spider-Man 3) but this trailer should find all naysayers, myself included, picking their chins off the floor. Enjoy!! Andrew Garfield stars as Peter Parker along with Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy (fun fact: she’s the second red-head to…

Sweet (2nd) Trailer…'The Hunger Games'
Today we’re treated to the second trailer for the adaptation of Suzanne Collins‘ best selling novel (the first in a series of 4 planned films from her 3 books). While the teaser didn’t do much but confuse, the first official trailer was infinitely more satisfying. From Yahoo, we have a shorter but deeper look into this bizarrely exquisite futuristic tale in which “a nationally televised event in which ‘Tributes’ must fight with one another until one survivor remains“. Kind of looks like a mix of The Running Man, Logan’s Run and Harry Potter for the young adult set…but maybe that’s just me since I’ve never read the books. Anyway, have a look. The Hunger Games stars Jennifer…

Sweet Trailer…'Red Lights'
Hot off its premier at Sundance Red Lights, the follow-up to director Rodrigo Cortés’ Buried, was picked up by Millennium Entertainment despite some reportedly mixed reviews. The film follows psychologist Margaret Matheson (Weaver) and her assistant (Murphy) study whose study of paranormal activity leads them to investigate a world-renowned psychic (De Niro) who may in fact be a fraud. It’s got the goods to get you on board, but something still seems a bit off. Have a look for yourselves… Starring Cillian Murphy, Robert DeNiro, Red Lights will hit theaters in Spain on March 2nd but no word yet on a stateside (or VOD?) release date. Whaddya think about this A-List supernatural thriller? Anyone excited to see how Cortés does in his sophomore effort? Anyone…

Sweet Trailer…'The Cold Light of Day'
A year and some months before we are set to see Henry Cavill soar up up and away we’ll be seeing him play a young American who uncovers a conspiracy during his attempt to save his family, who were kidnapped while on vacation in Spain. It sounds like your run of the mill early-to-mid-year actioner but there’s enough bravado to make it entertaining. I’m game, have a look for yourselves… There’s not a lot that Bruce can do wrong and it’s great to see him still running and gunning with Hollywood’s new blood. Cavill playing Kal-El aside I think he’s got a long future in film and I can’t wait to…

Sweet Trailer…'ATM'
From IFC Midnight comes a psychological thriller about three co-workers who get trapped in an ATM booth. Not that they’re locked in (not at first), they just can’t leave because there’s a menacing man outside. Dun, dun, dun. No, really, it does look better than you’d expect. Name any film based primarily in one location (Frozen, Wrecked, P2, Phone booth, even Castaway) and they work because they all play on that fear of isolation and, among other things, impending death. ATM takes that formula and adds in a dash of silent stalker just for fun. Hey, he does a good job of channeling Michael Meyers. Have a look… Not bad right?…

Sweet Trailer…'G.I. JOE: Retaliation'
From director Jon M. Chu comes this somewhat related sequel to Stephen Sommers’ G.I. JOE: The Rise of Cobra. Picking up with the brilliant plot-line that (spoiler!!) covertly put Cobra in the White House, Zartan in now acting as The President of the United States. Under his orders, the G.I. Joes have been hunted down and eliminated…or so we think. The few who survived the massacre are now going head-to-head with the Zartan, and the world leaders he has under his influence, to clear their names. Yo Joe! Tell me that wasn’t the least bit awesome! I seriously geeked out at the Cobra banners on The White House. Doesn’t that just seem like something right out of the cartoon? It…

Sweet (Teaser) Trailer…'Men In Black 3'
“Here come the Men In Black” *clap clap*. Boy that takes you back, doesn’t it? Some would argue it’s been too long since the deligntfully lopsided chemistry of Agents J and K have graced the silver screen. Although, others would argue that’s because last time wasn’t exactly the duo’s finest effort…thanks in part to a rather lacking story. But hey this is America and we get three strikes right? Well, back again *clap clap* those “galaxy defenders”, comfortable dealing with all things odd and alien, can now add “time travel” to the experience portion of their CV. Behold, the first teaser trailer for Men In Black 3… A film always…

Sweet Trailer…'Escape From M.S. One' (aka 'Lockout') UPDATED
From Europa Corp and Film District comes the Luc Besson written sci-fi film Escape from MS One (previously known as Lockout); his first other worldly adventure since The Fifth Element. In it, Guy Pearce stars as a wrongly convicted man who is offered freedom if he can rescue the president’s daughter from an outer space prison overrun by the inmates. Quality of the video not withstanding it looks like another high-energy flick that few but Besson can deliver…and in space no less. This is the international trailer which explains the subtitles but it also has some profanity so be advised. Anyway for those of you pining for another Corbin Dallas adventure, sorry this…

Sweet Trailer…'John Carter of Mars'
Wow, now this is just looking sooo much better. A few months back Disney released one major league teaser for Andrew Stanton’s film adaptation of Edgar Rice Burroughs’ John Carter. Seeming to have a Cowboys & Aliens meets Avatar vibe some may have been put off by the strange alchemy of stories/genres but this second trailer should get a good number of naysayers on the JCM bandwagon. Earlier today Good Morning America gave us a sneak peek (thanks to First Showing for the heads up) but now we have the official second trailer in its entirety and it doesn’t disappoint one bit. Have a look and enjoy!! Pixar superstar Andrew Stanton…
