Another trailer for the Lightning Thief

Liam — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:40:39 +0000

Yesterday we saw an international trailer for Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, and now we have a new domestic one. It’s similar to the one we got yesterday but it’s longer, contains new footage, and we find out that Percy Jackson is the son of Poseidon and can control water. People who have read the book will have known that already, however having only just found out I think it’s pretty cool.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief is directed by Chris Columbus and stars Logan Lerman, Sean Bean, Kevin McKidd, Uma Thurman and Rosario Dawson, and will be released next February.

International Percy Jackson & The Olympians trailer

We have a new international trailer for Percy Jackson & The Olympians The Lightning Thief, and it’s probably the best trailer released so far. Not only do we see more of Pierce Brosnan and Rosario Dawson, we get our first look at Uma Thurman as Medusa.

Percy Jackson & The Olympians will be released next February, and Clash of The Titans will be released in March. That means we will be getting two potentially cool movies based on Greek gods within 30 days of each other. Although, Percy Jackson has taken the mythology and given it a modern twist so there should be no conflict. I’m interested to see who plays the best Zeus though. Will it be Sean Bean or Liam Neeson?

New Avatar videos reveal new footage!

A few trailers, TV spots and tie-in commercials have appeared online recently for James Cameron’s Avatar and they are embedded for your viewing pleasure below. If you are satisfied with the trailers we have already seen and don’t want to be spoiled further with new footage then click elsewhere, as these videos have quite a lot of stuff we haven’t seen before.

First up is a Japanese trailer which is similar to the main trailer we got last week, although I’d say 30% is new footage:

Next is a short TV spot, which again shows a few new scenes we haven’t seen before.

Finally we have a commercial which advertises Avatar alongside Coke Zero. 20th Century Fox will probably have a new tie-ins with different products and companies considering the $250 million+ budget the movie had. Watch below:

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trailer in rewind!

Liam — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:57:15 +0000

IGN teamed up with Prince of Persia game creator Jordan Mechner and together they dissect the new trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, revealing some behind the scene info in the process. They rewind, pause, and slow-mo the trailer down to give us a better look at some of the stuff we have probably missed. They focus a lot of the dagger, and talk about what Jerry Bruckheimer and director Mike Newell have added to the movie which wasn’t in any of the games.

Fan made X-Men Origins: Magneto Trailer

Liam — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 00:23:30 +0000

Last month X-Men producer Lauren Shulder Donner pretty much confirmed that X-Men Origins: Magneto, which had been in development limbo for 2 years, was dead. I can understand why, I mean out of all the planned X-Men movies Magneto would probably perform worst at the box office, unless they could somehow get Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt involved.

The script revolved around a young Magneto getting revenge on Nazi’s and befriending a young Charles Xavier. It’s not really blockbuster material, however I would love to see a Magneto movie at some point in the future. The character may not be as commercial as Wolverine but he is far more interesting. 20th Century Fox just need to find a director who could make a dark, gritty and badass movie.

In the meantime (which could be a few years) here’s a cool X-Men Origins: Magneto fan made trailer you can be watching. It uses footage from all three movies, so (if you can) just imagine everyone looking younger. It also doubles up as a tribute to the character Ian McKellen brought to life so magnificently.

Third trailer for Sherlock Holmes arrives!

Liam — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 23:45:23 +0000

Every time Warner Bros. release a new trailer for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes it makes me want to see the film just that bit more, which I suppose is their aim, so well done to them. The December release date is nearing and the effects are almost complete, which means we have a more action packed trailer for our viewing pleasure!

I’m warming to the Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law on-screen partnership. Ritchie and the writers have given them quite a few funny lines, I just hope they aren’t all in the trailers. Sherlock Holmes will be released on December 25th.

Russian trailer for Angelina Jolie’s Salt

Liam — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 23:07:46 +0000

I’m sure Columbia didn’t intend for anyone to see the first trailer for Angelina Jolie’s Salt in Russia (apart from the Russians obviously) but that’s what’s happened. From the trailer it looks like Jolie has returned to the same action form we saw from her in Tomb Raider and Wanted, although as it is in Russian we can’t really understand what’s going on.

Jolie is seen interrogating a man, who mentions the words ‘Salt’, which seems to cause Jolie to panic as she is then seen running out of the building after blowing out a few windows. Then we see her in a number of disguises as she jumps off bridges, crashes cars, and punches people in the face. I can’t wait for the English version so we can understand why she is acting this way. Allergic to salt maybe?

Well I guess we’ve learned some language skills from this trailer. The Russian word for ’salt’ is spelt a lot like the English word for ‘coat’. It may come in handy if you ever dine in Russia.

As well as Jolie the film stars Liev Schreiber who plays a character called Winter, Jolie’s ally and supervisor in the CIA’s Russian (how ironic) office. There’s also Chiwetel Ejiofor, who plays a counterintelligence officer trying to take her down.

Update: Filmonic reader Austin used his Russian skills and picked this up:

someone is supposed to kill the president and she wants to know who it is and he tells her Salt and she tells him that she is Salt and so he tells her that she is a Russian spy. she denies this.
“who is Salt?”

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time trailer!

Liam — Tue, 03 Nov 2009 02:28:30 +0000

The trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time was broadcast on UK TV earlier today and had found it’s way onto YouTube in sub-par quality. IGN were originally going to officially release the trailer at 7pm PST, however as it was already online they decided to put it out there early in HD, and I’m glad they did. It’s quite good.

I didn’t really know what to expect from this. Jerry Bruckheimer wanted to create a new franchise after Pirates of the Caribbean, and from the trailer it looks like Persia is going to be huge. It’s a special effects heavy blockbuster, with two good looking leads and lots of action. Who won’t be seeing this?

How to Train Your Dragon trailer

Liam — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:24:46 +0000

The full trailer for DreamWork’s How to Train Your Dragon has just been unleashed over at Yahoo! and can be watching using the player below:

It’s common for DreamWork’s to hire well known actors to fill the voice cast, and they’ve done the same with this film. While it will help during the marketing it doesn’t always work on-screen, and I think that may be the case this time. The main guy’s voice doesn’t really ‘fit’ for me.

How to Train Your Dragon, which will be released next March, is co-directed by Dean DeBlois and Chris Sanders who both worked on Lilo and Stitch, and features the voice talents of Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Jonah Hill, Christopher Mintz-Plasse and America Ferrera.

Here’s the second Avatar trailer!

Got anything planned for the next 30 minutes? No? Good, because you’ll probably end up watching this new trailer for James Cameron’s Avatar on repeat for the foreseeable future. The only word to describe it would be ‘epic’. Watch below:
