The UK arm of 20th Century Fox has released a new trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus which reveals more footage than any of the trailers thus far. Charlize Theron’s character has a larger presence in this one, and it’s made clear she’s running the show. We also get to see some of the life forms the team encounter on their mission, and they aren’t friendly.

Watch the trailer below:

Visionary filmmaker Ridley Scott returns to the genre he helped define, creating an original science fiction epic set in the most dangerous corners of the universe. The film takes a team of scientists and explorers on a thrilling journey that will test their physical and mental limits and strand them on a distant world, where they will discover the answers to our most profound questions and to life’s ultimate mystery.

Prometheus stars Noomi Rapace, Michael Fassbender, Charlize Theron, Logan Marshall-Green, and Idris Elba, and 20th Century Fox will release the film on June 8th 2012.

Fox’s viral campaign for this summer’s Prometheus seems to be in full swing right now and this awesome promo is the latest to come from that. David is an 8th generation Wayland type robot, powered by Verizon apparently and you can see the clip right after the break.

Now this is what I call great viral marketing, a clip that’s made to look like any commercial you see today on TV, only this is for a robot, one that you can only find in the film Prometheus unfortunately. I mean who doesn’t want a real David around the house? I know I do, my garden needs work and he would be the perfect candidate for that unethical job. Also, after Shame, I’m sure there are loads of women out there (and even guys) that would buy a Michael Fassbender the second he becomes available, probably for stuff that’s more NC-17 if you know what I mean.

Joke aside, Prometheus is a prequel to the 1979 original Alien, directed by the same Ridley Scott and starring Michael Fassbender, Noomi Rapace, Charlize Theron, Idris Elba, Guy Pearce, and Patrick Wilson among others.

Prometheus opens June 1st in the UK and June 8th in North America.

So would you buy a David/Michael Fassbender if this promo was real?

Universal has released the second official trailer for Snow White and the Huntsman. It expands upon the first trailer with more story details, and provides some very impressive visuals of battles and mythical creatures. We also get to see the dwarves (played by a great bunch of British actors) walking and talking.

Watch below:

Universal has also released a 5 minute preview which shows off even more impressive footage, although i’d avoid it if you want to save yourself until June.

Snow White and the Huntsman, directed by Rupert Sanders and opening June 2012, focuses on the Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) who is hired by the evil queen (Charlize Theron) to track down her runaway stepdaughter (Kristen Stewart). After realizing the queen intends to kill Snow White, he helps her escape, and the pair go on the run. The Huntsman then helps train Snow White in order to defeat the evil queen.

Young Adult is basically an R-rated quasi-dramatic train wreck version of Just Friends which starred Ryan Reynolds and Amy Smart. While Just Friends was playful romantic-comedy, this 94 minute feature sees a depressed hot mess (Charlize Theron) setting her distorted sights on more than satisfied target (Patrick Wilson). Let the awkwardness begin.

At the helm is 4-time Oscar Nominee, Jason Reitman (Juno, Up in the Air). His signature use of blending plausible real-life scenarios with subtle moments of comedy is usually pitch-perfect. This time around, he struggles to bring the script by Diablo Cody (Juno, Jennifer’s Body) together.

Mavis Gray (Charlize Theron) was the small-town beauty queen who made it out and found success in the big city; in this case, Minneapolis. She is currently feeling some pressure from her career as a fiction writer for a fledging young adult series (high school setting), and it doesn’t help that she just got divorced. To remedy this depression she finds herself in, she retreats to her hometown unannounced and secludes herself at a Hampton Inn with her socialite-looking dog, Dolce (makes sense when all she does is watch reality shows like The Kardashians).

As she pounds whiskey (straight-up), she decides the best way to get her life back on track is to seek out her first love, Buddy Slade (Patrick Wilson). Buddy is happily married to Beth (Elizabeth Reaser), and the couple who never ventured away from the quaint Minnesota town, just welcomed their first child. None of this deters Mavis, as she bides her time – drinking while writing what she observes at random fast-food joints – waiting to win back her lost flame.

While this could sound like a typical rom-com, the introduction to the Mavis character thwarts all those stereotypes and/or expectations right away. The broken character is instantly thrown at you and there is nothing funny about this initially. That is until Patton Oswalt – playing the high school loser no one remembers – weaves his way in and brings with him the comical, and surprisingly substantial, moments of this script. Charlize Theron does have the talent to carry a movie on her own, yet there are doubts that without Oswalt’s presence, one would be tuning out about halfway through.

Though a key part of the story; Patrick Wilson is essentially driving in just above cameo mode here. In his limited screen time though, his actions and persona properly showcase just how far-off the Mavis character is; which adds to the entertaining awkwardness that pops up during all their scenes. Even just the wardrobe choices say so much about how off our lead is when mingling in her hometown. The duo does not engage in the most shocking banter, and it is predictable in some respects, yet it does the job in keeping with the projected atmosphere. Moments such as this give credence that the screenplay is solid, but Reitman’s handling and piecing together of sequences isn’t as smooth as his past works.

It’s almost as if the “glue segments” were cut out due to time constraints or budget reasons. In other words, cinematically, this is not the most concise piece of storytelling through the lens, as it appears to be a mash-up or series of first draft thoughts, sans the polish rewrite. The transitioning to a new mood if you will, had lackluster execution; leading to a rough projection of what Reitman wanted to get out of the audience. Still, the brutal conversations are fairly entertaining and the performances sell it just enough to keep your attention all the way through.

Overall, Young Adult is a catchy independent film that could have used some commercial shine. While its storytelling methods and tone are all over the place, there are enough hooks (witty dialogue & fine acting) to encourage one to take-in this realistic entertaining debacle.

RATING: 3.5 out of 5
