Unholy Spirit: Watch the New Red Band Trailer for Kevin Smith’s Red State

Red State isn’t an ominous enough title for Kevin Smith’s new joint, the one that he ceremoniously purchased for his own distribution at Sundance, before Lionsgate chipped in to help with the VOD release. This is a grisly caper that combines the freaky backwoods barbarism of a Rob Zombie picture, the noir grandeur of There Will Be Blood , and the shape-shifting terror of Melissa Leo. Save our souls, indeed! (NSFW language, violence.)

Eddie Vedder is Given to Fly in First Trailer for Cameron Crowe’s Pearl Jam Doc

Because the first person you think of when you think of Pearl Jam lead singer Eddie Vedder is David Lynch, the new trailer for Pearl Jam Twenty starts with the famed director ( and part-time musician ) asking EV when “music started being a thing” for him. Cue up a dissolve into 20-year-old Pearl Jam home movies, folks, because Eddie is having himself a pretty rocking flashback!

Watch Robert Pattinson in the New Bel Ami Trailer: Dandylicious Liaisons

Robert Pattinson dons dandy tails, a dandy hat, dandy mannerisms, and dandy unintentional hilarity in the new trailer for Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod’s adaptation of Guy de Maupassant’s Bel Ami . Yay. He also quivers like Daniel Plainview in one shot, and before he can yell, “I’ve abandoned my child!” like a sessy vampire, you’ll have visions of Dangerous Liaisons as you watch Uma Thurman wear period costuming.

Watch the Kick-Ass Trailer for Steve Soderbergh’s Haywire

Another day, another outstanding trailer for an upcoming movie that you probably didn’t think would get a push from Comic-Con.

Watch the Similar-But-Terrifying First Trailer for Paranormal Activity 3

How did Catfish directors Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost decide to follow-up their controversial true-life (“true-life”) documentary? By making a “found footage” horror movie, of course! (The moral: stick with what you know.) The pair return to theaters this November with Paranormal Activity 3 , a prequel to the stories told in the first two films, but one that looks no less terrifying. (The moral: stick with what you know.) Click through to be jump-scared out of your office chair.

Watch the Origin of Spider-Man, Again, in First Trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man

When it was announced that Sony was going forward with a reboot of the Spider-Man franchise so soon after director Sam Raimi placed his mark on Peter Parker, many eyebrows were raised at the timing. After all, Spider-Man 3 came out in 2007, a mere four summers ago — it’s not like people are clamoring for reboots of other 2007 blockbusters like Ocean’s 13 or Live Free or Die Hard . (Or maybe they are?) Regardless, we’re here now, and The Amazing Spider-Man is scheduled to hit theaters next summer. Does the new teaser offer anything that Raimi’s Spider-Man films did not?

Watch Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz in the Dream House Trailer: Dead Again

Daniel Craig is the sort of mensch who I’d like to believe can do wrong. Unfortunately, when you’re in everything , infallibility is not an option. The new trailer for Dream House , the sepia-postered film exhibits a few contrivances that I’d expect from — well, a by-the-book psychodrama with a September release date. But I admit, the trailer is entertaining, even if it’s a note-for-note reiteration of a movie that came out almost 10 years ago to this day.

Imagine James Van Der Beek in Wedding Crashers

Or not — he’ll do the imagining for you: “I remember also wondering if I should go in for the Bradley Cooper role in Wedding Crashers . That’s actually one that I kick myself over as well. I mean, everything works out, and I’m happy with where I’m at… I’m probably being way more honest than I should in an interview.” [ VF. com ]

TRAILER: Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Joel Edgerton Fight Something in The Thing

While the poster for the prequel/reboot of The Thing was pleasingly old school, the new trailer is old school in the worst way possible. Packed with jump scares, corny monster noises, and enough parkas to fill out a section at Eastern Mountain Sports, the new trailer seems like something Dimension might have cut together for Phantoms 2 . Alas! Scott Pilgrim muse Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Animal Kingdom star Joel Edgerton, you deserve better.
