Here is the extended trailer for the much anticipated film adaptation of The Fault In Our Stars. With so many people currently comparing Shailene Woodley to Jennifer Lawrence (and Divergent to The Hunger Games), it’ll be interesting to see if this film becomes Shailene’s Silver Linings Playbook.

Trailer: Boyhood
I can’t wait to see this film.
Trailer: Jersey Boys
Here’s the trailer for Clint Eastwood’s upcoming film adaptation of Jersey Boys. While some are predicting that Jersey Boys will be a player at the Oscars, I’m afraid that I have to agree with the assessment of Awards Watch. This trailer looks a bit bland. However, I’m hopeful that Christopher Walken will, at least, get a best supporting actor nomination because, seriously, how can you not want to see Christopher Walken nominated?
Trailer #3: X-Men: Days of Future Past
The third and final trailer.
Trailer: If I Stay
Earlier this week, the trailer for If I Stay was released.
An adaptation of Gaye Forman’s excellent young adult novel, If I Stay tells the story of Mia (played, in what would seem to be a case of perfect casting, by Chloe Grace Moretz), a talented cellist who, after being involved in a horrific traffic accident, finds herself forced to literally choose between life and death. The book was a poignant and thought-provoking work that transcended the conventional limitations of the YA genre and it will be interesting to see how director R.J. Cutler translates the material for the big screen.
If I Stay will be released on August 22nd.
Trailer: Deliver Us From Evil
In many ways, Deliver Us From Evil looks like a pretty standard 21st Century horror film but it is from the director of Sinister and it also features Joel McHale so I’m cautiously optimistic.
Trailer: Maps To The Stars
I was one of the few people to appreciate David Cronenberg’s previous collaboration with Robert Pattinson, the criminally underrated Cosmopolis. Here’s the trailer to the second Cronenberg/Pattinson collaboration, Maps To The Stars.
Trailer: Gone Girl
Gone Girl is one of the most highly anticipated films of 2014. It’s a film that a lot of critics have already predicted will be an Oscar contender. However, I have to admit that I’m a bit worried about it.
You have to understand: I loved Gillian Flynn’s novel. When I first heard that Rosamund Pike was playing the role of Amy, I was happy because, to me, it seemed like perfect casting. Rosamund Pike has been one of my favorite actresses ever since I first saw An Education and, depending on whether the film’s Amy is anything like the book’s Amy, this seems like it could be the role of a lifetime for her. However, I have to say that I was less enthusiastic about the news that Ben Affleck would be playing Nick Dunne. But then I heard that Neil Patrick Harris had been cast in the film as well and, knowing what I did about the role he would be playing, I was again intrigued. And then Tyler Perry was cast and I was worried again.
And then there was David Fincher.
David Fincher is an undeniably talented director but his last film, the rehash of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, felt like Fincher on auto pilot. I found myself wondering if he would take a similar approach to Gone Girl, giving us a lot of recognizable style with little going on beneath the surface.
The first official trailer for Gone Girl was released earlier today and, having watched it, I still don’t know what to think. Particularly when compared to the trailer for Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the Gone Girl trailer has an almost mellow feel to it. If nothing else, I hope this means that Gone Girl was made by the thoughtful artist behind Zodiac as opposed to the hyper stylist behind Dragon Tattoo.
We’ll find out for sure in October.
