Trailer: Into The Woods

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Watching the first trailer for the upcoming musical film adaptation of Into The Woods, I’m struck by the fact the first half of the trailer looks intriguing and wonderful while the second half of the trailer, which features an almost stereotypically epic score and Chris Pine looking like a model-turned-prince, is far less interesting.  A lot of online Oscar watchers have been predicting that Into The Woods, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp are all going to be award-contenders.  Then again, a lot of those people also thought that Rob Marshall’s previous film, Nine, would be a contender as well.

Myself, I have a feeling that Meryl might get a nomination, largely because she’s Meryl and she always gets a nomination.  As for the rest of the film, it’s too early to say.  The trailer below gives reason to be both optimistic and pessimistic.

So, in other words, I have no idea.

‘Interstellar’ Trailer #3

(Trailer pulled from the official website where it can also be accessed with code: 7201969)

‘Interstellar’, directed by Christopher Nolan (‘Inception’, ‘The Dark Knight’), stars Matthew McConaughey, Jessica Chastain, Anne Hathaway, Casey Affleck, Michael Caine and many others. It is set in a not so distant future in which resources on earth are running low and a group of astronauts/explorers blast off to utilize “wormholes” to find habitable and resource rich planets outside of our solar system. The music is by Nolan’s go-to composer Hans Zimmer, and the cinematography by Hoyte Van Hoytema (‘Her’, ‘Let The Right One In’).

I personally love astronomy and astrophysics. I love space, and have a mild obsession with Saturn. So when I say I am excited for ‘Interstellar’ it isn’t just because I am a fan of Nolan, or I am wrapped up in the wave of hype that tends to surround his films. I have a genuine personal interest in the science and themes involved here and so my expectations for this, even with all the confidence I have in its (amazing) cast and crew, are probably higher than any other release in 2014. Luckily the first full length trailer was beautifully made and was exactly what I wanted to see; and now this new trailer (which showed at Comic-Con) expands on the first, offering us even more of a glimpse as to what we are to expect…and boy oh boy does it look amazing. It has a genuine ‘Inception’ meets ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ tone and look to it; and I can not wait to see those visuals in IMAX. Sadly it doesn’t hit theaters until November 6th…but until then I’ll be sitting here, with the trailer on loop *cries*.

Here’s The Trailer for Whiplash!

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

Whiplash is one of those films that I’m truly looking forward to seeing later this year.  Not only is Miles Teller a star waiting for the perfect vehicle, but rumor has it that the great character actor J.K. Simmons might get some Oscar consideration for his performance.

And the trailer looks great!

Teaser Trailer: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One

Posted on by Lisa Marie Bowman

At this point, does it even matter what scenes they put into the trailer for Mockingjay?  I mean, we all know that we’re going to see it and we’re probably going to love it, right?  They could probably release this film without doing a bit of advertising and it would still make box office history.

But what fun would that be?

Here’s the latest teaser f0r Mockingjay!  It’s interesting to note that, along with the expected emphasis on Jennifer Lawrence, the trailer really is dominated by Philip Seymour Hoffman.

Here’s the 2nd Trailer for If I Stay!

If I Stay

In the future, I think 2014 will be remembered as a good year for those of us who like to cry at the movies.  And, as evidence to help prove my point, here’s the 2nd trailer for If I Stay, the upcoming adaptation of Gayle Forman’s excellent and emotional 2009 novel.  This film, directed by R.J. Cutler and starring Chloe Grace Moretz, will be opening on August 22nd.

Trailer: Fifty Shades of Grey

A few months ago, I was talking to an online acquaintance when I made the mistake of referring to Fifty Shades of Grey as being “Fifty Shades of Fanfic.”  I thought I was making a perfectly valid point because, as we all know, the book started out as a piece of Twilight fanfic and, even more importantly, it reads like really bad (albeit sexy) fanfic.  The person I was talking to however … Oh.  My.  God.  You would have thought that I had just said the worst, most inflammatory thing in the history of offensive statements.  Before I knew it, I had been blocked on twitter and unfriended on Facebook, which I have to admit really upset me because her unfriending me left me with an odd number of Facebook friends and, as our regular readers know, Lisa doesn’t do odd numbers.

But anyway, my point is that Fifty Shades of Grey may not have been great literature but a lot of people feel very strongly about it.  And even those of us who may view dismissively the book’s prose will probably still end up seeing the movie when it’s released next year.

Below, you’ll find the first trailer for Fifty Shades of Grey, which promises the audience a very hot Valentine’s Day in 2015.  In short, this trailer follows in the proud tradition set by the trailer for Endless Love.

Walt Disney Animation has always lagged behind it’s more lauded older sibling Pixar Animation. Yet, in the last couple years it’s more than held it’s own with it’s two most recent releases with Wreck-It-Ralph and Frozen. Will third time be the charm as the studio is set to release the first CG-animated feature that was greenlit after Walt Disney bought Marvel Comics over 6 years ago.

Big Hero 6 is loosely-based on the same comic book title from Marvel Comics. It tells the story of one Hiro Hamada and his sidekick balloon man….robot who must team up with an eclectic group of other would-be heroes to save the fictional city of San Fransokyo from a mysterious villain.

Big Hero 6 is set for a November 7, 2014 release date.
