Maleficent retells the story of Sleeping Beauty from Maleficent’s point of view. Quite frankly, I always suspected that the original film was biased in favor of Aurora. This Disney film, which stars Angelina Jolie, is set to be released in May of 2014.
So, originally, The Wolf of Wall Street was the movie that everyone was expecting to dominate the Oscar race. Then, a few months ago, it was announced that the film might be held back until 2014 while director Martin Scorsese put the finishing touches on the film. And then, just as suddenly, it was announced that The Wolf of Wall Street would be released this year, on Christmas Day to be exact.
And with that announcement comes a second trailer!
To be honest, neither one of the film’s trailers really feel like trailers for a Scorsese film. Then again, that’s the same thing that many of us said about Hugo.
This trailer has been out for nearly a month now so I’m a little late in sharing it. However, after having watched this trailer play before every single movie that I’ve seen since the month of October, I have to say that there is no film that I am more looking forward to seeing than American Hustle.
(You can check out the first trailer for American Hustle here.)
Katniss Everdeen is back! Here’s the final trailer for The Hunger Games: Catching Fire and, it’s nice to say, this one is full of details that seem to have been included specifically for those of us who have read the book. The film itself will be released on November 22nd.
Here’s our first glimpse of X-Men: Days of Future Past. While there’s all sorts of things that I could say about this preview — mostly along the lines of how much I’m looking forward to seeing Michael Fassbender, Hugh Jackman, and James McAvoy all gathered together on the same screen — I think the trailer can certainly speak for itself.
When Jeff and I went to see the remake of Carrie earlier today, we arrived at the theater just as the trailer for another remake started to play. The first version of Endless Love was released in 1981 and is best known for featuring the film debut of Tom Cruise. The second version of Endless Love will be coming out next year on Valentine’s Day.
Judging from the trailer, the film looks like it could be both sexy and silly; sexy because it stars Alex Pettyfer and silly … well, really, for pretty much the exact same reason. However, I will give this film that benefit of the doubt just because I appreciated the fact that the trailer made good use of Florence + The Machine’s cover of Addicted to Love.
In case you couldn’t guess from the first frame of the trailer, this is the latest film from Wes Anderson.
It’s October — where are all the new horror films?
Well, with the exception of Carrie, it looks that they’re all hang out in next January. January, of course, is the month that the studios traditionally dump all of the films that they don’t have much faith in.
Whether that has anything to do with the release date of the next Paranormal Activity film is open to conjecture.
Under the Skin, which is directed by Jonathan Glazer, features Scarlett Johansson as an alien who preys on Scottish hitchhikers. After Escape from Tomorrow, this is probably my second favorite trailer of 2013.
My original attitude towards this film was dismissive. I’m not a big science fiction fan in general, the title Last Days On Mars felt juvenile, and I’ve had some issues with Liev Schreiber ever since I saw The Omen.
However, I then did some research and discovered that this film is an Irish/American co-production.
Therefore, as a proud Irish-American, I’ll give the film a chance when it opens on December 6th.
