The official Facebook page for Snow White and the Huntsman has posted a new sneak peak trailer for the movie. It’s essentially a shortened version of the trailer we got last year, but contains some new footage.

Watch below:

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.

Following the departure of Patty Jenkins from the director’s chair of Thor 2 earlier this month Marvel has been searching for a replacement. Now according to Deadline they’ve found one in Alan Taylor, best known for directing episodes of Game of Thrones, Boardwalk Empire and Nurse Jackie.

Marvel are known for trying to keep talent costs down, so hiring a director who prominently works in TV will mean that he’s cheaper than more experienced movie directors, and he’ll be more flexible in terms of creative control (something Patty Jenkins obviously wasn’t). The Thor sequel isn’t expected to start filming until next April so Taylor will have around 4 months to prepare before cameras roll.

Don Payne, co-writer of the first film and one of the writers on Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, wrote the first draft of the script which will now be going through re-writes. Marvel has a release date set for November 15, 2013 and Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will return to star in the film along with Tom Hiddleston.

The German arm of Marvel has released a new trailer for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers. It’s similar to the teaser trailer we got earlier this year, but contains new footage of Black Widow and Bruce Banner meeting and a few new action shots. Those who don’t speak German probably won’t be able to understand it, but it’s still worth a watch.

From De.Marvel (via CBM):

The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, will star Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Mark Ruffalo (The Hulk), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Chris Evans (Captain America), Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and will be released May 4th, 2012.

In October Marvel announced that Patty Jenkins, director of Monster and The Killing pilot, would be directing the Thor sequel after Kenneth Branagh decided against returning. Now Deadline reports that Jenkins has left the movie due to “creative differences” and Marvel is now in search of a new director.

The Thor sequel isn’t expected to start filming until next April so there’s still over 4 months for a director to come on-board and work on pre-production, but it’s never a good sign when a director exits. Earlier this year Chris Hemsworth said Jenkins “has a great take on the story and a solid grasp on that kind of universe” but something obviously didn’t work out somewhere. Deadline says the director make take on another movie for Marvel, just not a sequel.

Don Payne, co-writer of the first film and one of the writers on Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer, is currently working on the script and Marvel has a release date set for November 15, 2013. Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will return to star in the film along with Tom Hiddleston.

The first trailer for the long-delayed horror flick The Cabin in the Woods went live yesterday. Now you guys will probably ask (and for good reasons) why be interested in this flick with so much garbage around every corner, even more so with horrors. Well I have three names that will at the very least raise an eyebrow: Joss Whedon, Chris Hemsworth and Drew Goddard.

Yes fanboys and fangirls of the world, this is for you.

The first minute of this preview makes the movie look like one of the most generic horrors to come in some time, but like the tagline at 1:03 says, “Think Again”. The Cabin in the Woods comes with a twist mixing a lot of what we’ve come to expect from the genre into one crazy ride that will definitely be worth the price of admission. Can you expect anything less from a story written by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard (who also directs).

For those living under a rock, Joss Whedon wrote and directed The Avengers (coming May 2012) and he was also behind such cult classic TV shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel, Dollhouse, Firefly and the movie that continued the series, Serenity (among my favorite films of all time). He was one of the writers of Toy Story (1995) Alien: Resurrection and a bunch of other stuff ranging from comics to just about anything you can imagine. Drew Goddard on the other hand makes his directorial debut and has been a long time writing collaborator of Joss Whedon with Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel. Goddards is also credited for writing Cloverfield and a few episodes from the very popular TV shows Alias and Lost (one of my favorite shows of all time).

The Cabin in the Woods, which completed filming way back in May 2009 but was hindered by MGM’s financial troubles, is finally set to open April 13th, 2012. Chris Hemsworth (pre-Thor workout) stars alongside Richard Jenkins, Bradley Whitford, Jesse Williams, Kristen Connolly, Anna Hutchison, Brian White, Amy Acker, Reila Aphrodite and Jodelle Ferland.

Is the duo of Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard enough to get you excited for The Cabin in the Woods?

Universal has released the first official Snow White and the Huntsman trailer, giving us our first look at footage from one of the two Snow White movies hitting next year. We’ve been told Hunstman is the more serious of the two, and the first 30 seconds of the trailer confirm that to be true, with charging battle scenes and Charlize Theron’s Evil Queen sucking the life out of a young woman.

The Evil Queen actually dominates the trailer. The Huntsman (Chris Hemsworth) is seen wielding an axe and taking orders, but Snow White (Kristen Stewart) isn’t seen until half way through and doesn’t speak a word. Overall, it looks very promising.

You can watch the trailer below:

Snow White and the Huntsman, directed by Rupert Sanders and opening June 2012, focuses on the Huntsman (Hemsworth) who is hired by the evil queen (Theron) to track down her runaway stepdaughter (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.

Other than some characters shots there has been little marketing material for Universal’s Snow White and the Huntsman, but the first official trailer is expected to be released this week, and in preparation the studio has released a new banner featuring Chris Hemsworth as The Huntsman, Kristen Stewart as Snow White and Charlize Theron as the Evil Queen.

Click the banner below to enlarge:

Based on what we’ve seen and heard so far i’m more interested in seeing Huntsman than Tarsem Singh’s Mirror Mirror. Singh recently described his movie as being “sickeningly kiddie”, which i’m sure there’ll be an audience for, but the darkness and seriousness of Huntsman is more appealing to me.

Marvel Studios today confirmed that Patty Jenkins will be directing the Thor sequel, which was recently pushed back from July 13, 2013 to November 15, 2013.

In addition to announcing Jenkins as director Marvel confirmed Chris Hemsworth and Natalie Portman will return to star in the film along with Tom Hiddleston.

Patty Jenkins directed Charlize Theron in Monster (for which Theron won an Oscar) and directed the pilot for AMC’s The Killing. Hiring a female director to take on a big budget sequel is a surprise move, but a welcomed one.

In a recent interview with Hero Complex Hemsworth approved of his new director, who is taking over from Kenneth Branagh.

“She has a great take on the story and a solid grasp on that kind of universe,” the Aussie actor said Wednesday on the set of “Snow White and the Huntsman” in eastern Wales.

Hemsworth said in his meeting with Jenkins she seemed like a filmmaker worthy of picking up the franchise’s cinematic hammer. “Branagh read every comic book he could get his hands on,” Hemsworth said. “She also looked like she had done her homework.”

Don Payne, co-writer of the first film and one of the writers on Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, is currently working on the script, and Marvel aim to begin shooting next April.

Since setting a July 2013 release date for Thor 2 Marvel have been searching for a director to replace Kenneth Branagh, who decided against directing the sequel as he has other projects in the pipeline he wants to work on. Earlier this month we heard Game of Thrones director Brian Kirk was in talks, but now another director has entered the frame. Patty Jenkins.

According to Deadline Marvel will be making a decision soon and they may go with Jenkins, who directed Charlize Theron in Monster (for which Theron won an Oscar) and directed the pilot for AMC’s The Killing. Hiring a female director to take on a big budget sequel will be a surprise move, but a welcomed one.

Whoever takes on the sequel will have to pick up from where The Avengers finishes off, and Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige gave EW a few hints about the direction of the next film:

Kevin Feige recently told EW that plans were developing fast for the sequel, which he said would “take Thor literally to other worlds.” While moviegoers will next see Chris Hemsworth as the hammer-swinging hero in The Avengers next May, Thor 2 would “primarily be the journey of that character, of he and Jane Foster (Natalie Portman) and how the new dynamic with his father (Odin, played by Anthony Hopkins) is working out, as well as what are the broader stakes for The Nine Worlds,” Feige said.

This suggests both Anthony Hopkins and Natalie Portman will be back (if not there characters will be).

Don Payne, co-writer of the first film and one of the writers on Fantastic Four: Rise Of The Silver Surfer, is currently working on the script, and Marvel aim to begin shooting next April.
