Some New Trailers
The Dog Days of summer have landed. The films are beginning to drop off in frequency and quality, few bands are touring, it’s hot and muggy, and the summer is closing in on us all.
On the bright side there are a slew of great films that are coming out this fall and the trailers and teasers are beginning to trickle online. While I was out of the office (blog) a good batch of the were released and I thought I’d share a short gallery of fall previews. There are some exciting pics coming up and the clips are rolling in.
THE WATCHMEN
The new adaptation of The Watchmen has a pretty fantastic trailer. Though, it’s not clear if it will stick close to the graphic novel or if director Zak Snyder will take it in a new direction. It is also not clear if it will be worth a damn, but the trailer is pretty solid, and has a great Pumpkins tune in there.
W.
Oliver Stone’s seemingly satirical W. is a highly anticipated film that many in his close circle are calling a complete return to form for Stone. Whether or not that is true and not just hype remains to be seen. The film is definitely causing a buzz and has been jammed through production and will somehow be making theaters this fall. This teaser only gives a slight idea of how Stone will represent the life of our current president and his rise to power. I look forward to it, but I’m not sold on it.
QUANTUM OF SOLACE
The new Bond has received almost as much hype as the record breaking The Dark Knight, and it looks pretty standard. Not bad, but it appears to have the same things going that the last Bond had. meh, I’m sure it will be good, but it’s the 22nd Bond film, how blown away could you really be?
HARRY POTTER & THE HALF BLOOD PRINCE
This could potentially break The Dark Knight’s new records. Will it? maybe not, but it will be huge. Am I dork? Yes. I write about the blockbusters a lot, but I generally don’t get too excited about them, I am definitely excited for this one. Even this little teaser made me excited for November.
