In case you couldn’t guess from the first frame of the trailer, this is the latest film from Wes Anderson.

Horror Trailer: Paranormal Activity: The Marked Ones
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.
Trailer: Under the Skin
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.
Trailer: Last Days On Mars
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.
Trailer: Nebraska
Director Alexander Payne is a perennial Oscar contender and this year, he’ll be offering up Nebraska. At this year’s Cannes film festival, veteran actor Bruce Dern was named best actor for his performance in this film and chances seem to be good that he will, at the very least, score a nomination when the Oscar nominations are announced next year.
Trailer: Ghost Team One
Red band trailers remind me of those commercials for GoDaddy that always feature Danica Patrick wandering around in a towel. It’s like the filmmakers are essentially saying, “Yeah, our film sucks but hopefully, these boobies will keep you from noticing…”
Speaking of which, here’s the red band trailer for Ghost Team One.
For all of you folks who have been saying, “Why can’t someone combine Paranormal Activity with Project X!? WHY, GOD, WHY!?”, Ghost Team One will be released on October 11th.
Trailer: Dracula 3D
When Dario Argento’s Dracula 3D premiered at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, the reviews were almost universally negative.
But you know what?
I don’t care.
When it comes to a film like this, the critics don’t matter. Does anyone seriously think that any mainstream critic is going to give a film directed by Dario Argento a chance? No way. Film snobs hate Argento but even Argento’s worst films are usually more entertaining than anything Michael Bay has ever come up with.
What’s important is that Dracula 3D is a vampire film that’s coming out in October and, judging from the trailer, it appears that it will feature Rutger Hauer going overboard in that wonderful way that only Rutger Hauer can.
Dracula 3D will be in American theaters on October 4th. See you there!
Trailer: Big Sur
On the Road may get all the attention but Big Sur, in my opinion, is the best book that Jack Kerouac ever wrote. Telling the story of Kerouac’s attempt to deal with both sudden fame and his growing alcoholism, Big Sur is a meditation on existence that somehow manages to make even the contemplation of self-destruction seem life-affirming.
As for the upcoming film version of Big Sur, I can’t say that I’m hopeful. As last year’s film adaptation of On The Road demonstrated, Kerouac’s books have rarely gotten the film treatments that they deserve.
However, judging from the trailer below, the film adaptation of Big Sur does get at least one thing right.
Jean-Marc Barr appears to be perfectly cast as Jack.
Trailer: Grace of Monaco
This year, we can look forward to two royalty-based films being released just in time to get some Oscar attention.
Unfortunately, neither one of them is about my favorite royal in-law, Pippa “It’s My Sister’s Wedding And I’ll Wear White If I Want To” Middleton.
Instead, Diana will star Naomi Watts as Diana, the late Princess of Wales and has already managed to inspire some amazingly negative reviews in the UK.
Meanwhile, Grace of Monaco, will star Nicole Kidman as the legendary Grace Kelly. Judging from the trailer below, Grace of Monaco looks like it could at least be trashy fun. If nothing else, I’m looking forward to seeing it for the costumes and the decor.
Trailer: Escape From Tomorrow
Escape From Tomorrow, which got a lot of attention at this year’s Sundance Film Festival, was filmed guerilla-style at Walt Disney World. That’s why a lot of people suspected that the film itself would never get a general release. However, apparently, it is scheduled to be released in both theaters and via VOD on October 11th.
