Scenesters Trailer: From the Writer of That Upcoming Violent Puppet Movie

Posted on January 14, 2011 by | Leave a comment

While I’m on record as being at least curious about how Jim Henson Productions’ in-development puppet film noir The Happytime Murders will play out, I’ll readily admit that it could definitely go either way. Now, here’s an early glimpse at the feature directorial debut from Todd Berger, who wrote the Happytime screenplay, and while it’s not necessarily a home run, it doesn’t sink all hope for a fun hard-boiled puppet murder movie either.

The happythankyoumoreplease Trailer Leaves Us Hoping for More, Please

Posted on January 13, 2011 by | Leave a comment

You should never really judge a film by its trailer, if only because, like books and their covers, the trailer only tells the part of the story marketing wants you to know. So, let’s all give the new trailer for Josh Radnor’s well-received 2010 Sundance Audience Award winner a pass…because, hoo boy , is this one horrible.

New Battle: Los Angeles Trailer is Scientifically Accurate…More or Less

Posted on January 12, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Last week’s apocalypse hype frenzy died down a bit in the last few days, but Hollywood’s here to pick up the slack! According to the latest Battle: Los Angeles trailer, aliens will be invading in the near future to wipe out our species and harvest our natural resources. Go ahead – buy a big tub of popcorn and laugh it up, but keep in mind that recent scientific evidence totally backs this premise.

Trailer Intro for John Carpenter’s The Ward: Who’s That in the Shower?

Posted on January 3, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Welcome to 2011, where we finally transition “trailer announcements” and teasers with no actual footage to “trailer intros.” In the case of this presumably leaked look at Amber Heard in John Carpenter’s The Ward , this term literally means the first half of the trailer. Coming soon: The Movieline 10-second Verdict. But yes, the first look at The Ward offers several mysteries to ponder including: “Why did Heard set her house on fire?” and “Who/what is that creepy shadow in the community shower?”

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Mike Leigh’s Another Year , which has been met with generally positive reviews (currently 89% on Rotten Tomatoes) and even some Oscar buzz for Lesley Manville’s performance, has just received it’s first takedown from a major critic. “I haven’t seen a film this year that so openly invited me to revile each and every one of its characters — and I reviewed The Human Centipede ,” wrote Karina Longworth in LA Weekly . Not only that, her Human Centipede review was a positive one. [ LA Weekly ]

Wong Kar Wai vs. Terrence Malick: Who’s Got the More Inscrutable Trailer?

Posted on December 30, 2010 by | Leave a comment

Like a phoenix rising from the stagnant pre-New Year’s Eve cesspool of news, here comes the teaser for the new Wong Kar Wai martial arts film The Grandmasters , with Tony Leung kicking and punching his way through…what’s that? There’s no kicking or punching in the teaser? Oh. There’s almost no indication of what the film looks like, you say. That seems about right for today. But here at Movieline HQ, this teaser made us wonder: Is this one-minute blast of calligraphy really any less revealing than the unexplained imagery in the much-drooled-over Tree of Life trailer ?

Cedar Rapids Trailer: Ed Helms Gets Crazy at the Insurance Convention

Posted on December 23, 2010 by | Leave a comment

It’s the day before Christmas Eve, and if you’re anything like me, you’re probably wondering, “Hey! What will be the next quirky and still totally by-the-book comedy with an almost-famous cast to be marketed as an indie film, complete with a Sundance premiere?” Well, just in time for your consideration, here is the trailer for Cedar Rapids , in which Ed Helms plays a naive man who leaves his small town for the first time only to be schooled in the ways of getting drunk, screwing and fighting by the wacky John C. Reilly.

Hanna Trailer Teaches How to Train Your Assassin

Posted on December 21, 2010 by | Comments Off on Hanna Trailer Teaches How to Train Your Assassin

When a trailer starts with Eric Bana telling a young girl who was raised in the woods, “You’re dead. I’ve killed you,” you know you’re in for something a little different. Especially when the next shot is of said girl running and screaming like a banshee over a pulsing score from the Chemical Brothers. Thankfully, the trailer for Hanna never looses steam, veering wildly from Kick-Ass -style cool to fairy-tale wonder to the tender, coming of age moments of the titular young assassin, played by Saoirse Ronan. Oh, and it’s from the director of Pride and Prejudice and Atonement .

Tracy Morgan Gets a New Kidney For Christmas

Posted on December 20, 2010 by | Comments Off on Tracy Morgan Gets a New Kidney For Christmas

You can scratch “a kidney for Tracy Morgan” off of your holiday gift list because the 30 Rock star already underwent the organ transplant two weeks ago. To recover, Morgan will take a two or three episode hiatus from 30 Rock . EW reports that Liz Lemon will explain Tracy Jordan’s March absence “by saying he has some sort of a meltdown because of a good thing that’s happened to him.” Sounds like someone might get a little Oscar love for Hard to Watch: Based on the Book Stone Cold Bummer by Manipulate . Get well soon, Tracy! [ EW ]
