The Green Hor­net trailer is sweep­ing the blo­gos­phere as it has been made avail­able for pub­lic con­sump­tion. Slated for release in Jan­u­ary 2011 the film stars Seth Rogen as the title char­ac­ter and Jay Chou as his manser­vant Kato. The Green Hor­net will also fea­ture Cameron Diaz and Chrisoph Waltz. While I like Rogen he wouldn’t have been my first choice for this movie so I guess this should make it interesting.

Unfor­tu­nately, the trailer doesn’t look very remark­able. I had to laugh a bit though, so let’s hope for the best. I’m con­fi­dent Rogen will get the part of Britt Reid right but I’m not so sure about the other part. Well, we’ll have to wait until the movie is released, but until then, enjoy the trailer:

Looks Like Iron Man 2 Really Rocks!

Iron Man 2 Movie Poster

Harry from Ain’t It Cool News says that Iron Man 2 kicks it up sev­eral notches across the board. Looks like they didn’t fuck up the sequel after all! This time around there’s a lot of stuff going on. Tony Stark is addicted to being Iron Man, his power source is slowly poi­son­ing him, Whiplash pops up from nowhere, Justin Ham­mer is intro­duced, Pep­per Potts gets more respon­si­bil­ity, and there’s your beau­ti­ful femme fatale – Black Widow.

All things con­sid­ered, Iron Man 2 offers lots of plots and sub-​​plots and some his­tory between Tony Stark and his father. Also, the actions seems to be well dosed – the Monaco scene from the trail­ers isn’t the best sequence. At least, that’s what Harry says. Accord­ing to him this film throws a chal­lenge to Thor, Cap­tain Amer­ica, and The Avengers. Oh, there’s another infor­ma­tion I man­aged to gleam from the com­ments: Stan Lee’s cameo in this movie is his briefest yet.

Of course, you don’t com­pletely trust one source. So, there’s a review up over at ComingSoon.net that essen­tially says the same thing. They give it 8 out of 10 points, mostly because of the high expec­ta­tions some peo­ple may have from the first movie. Well, I guess we just have to see Iron Man 2 for our­selves. Con­sid­er­ing the unique release pat­tern of the movie, visit the offi­cial movie site for infor­ma­tion on when the sequel hits the­aters in your country.

A few days ago, the sec­ond trailer for the Clash of the Titans remake appeared on the net. For the first trailer -- which isn’t all that dif­fer­ent from the lat­est one -- get to my first post about the remake. The lat­est trailer is a full minute longer and fea­tures a bunch of new scenes. Since the movie should hit the­aters today, I’ll try to watch it this week­end. If you liked the music, look for “The Bird and the Worm” by The Used.

More­turi te salutant!

The trailer for Preda­tors, the lat­est addi­tion to the fran­chise that began with Arnold Schwarzeneg­ger, has arrived on the net. In Preda­tors, a bunch of elite war­riors are kid­napped from Earth and brought to another planet. There they real­ize that they are noth­ing more than prey! In a nut­shell, that’s the plot. Well, this is a movie about Preda­tors so we don’t need much of a story line, right? Oh, the world looks just like the jun­gles in the first film with a few additions.

I still remain cau­tious about the cast­ing but I freely admit that Adrien Brody doesn’t look as ridicu­lous in the trailer as he did in my imag­i­na­tion. Looks like Preda­tors just jumped near the top of my must-​​see list. What do you think? Will the addi­tional ‘s’ in the title make this one a bet­ter movie?

A very well done poster, I'd say.

The new Amer­i­can poster for The Expend­ables is here. This film stars Arnold Schwarzeneg­ger, Sylvester Stal­lone, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lund­gren, Eric Roberts, Steve Austin, Bruce Willis, Mickey Rourke, and a bunch of oth­ers, most of them known faces. The Expend­ables is about a team of mer­ce­nar­ies hired to infil­trate a South Amer­i­can coun­try and over­throw a ruth­less dic­ta­tor. Of course, noth­ing goes accord­ing to plan and things will get more bloody and action-​​packed than every­one thought.

There are a few test screen­ing reports out in the wild describ­ing this film as insanely vio­lent. Let’s hope The Pow­ers That Be won’t change any­thing and we are going to see the movie in all its gory glory on August 13th this year. I don’t know about you but that’s def­i­nitely a movie I absolutely have to see. There’s no way around it!

A new Iron Man 2 trailer has hit the web yes­ter­day! There’s more War Machine and more Ham­mer in the trailer. And I absolutely adore the suit­case armor. Funny idea and prob­a­bly rem­i­nis­cent of the Iron Man books back in the day. Enjoy the embed­ded trailer below. If you want more splen­dor, you can find a high res­o­lu­tion quick­time ver­sion of the trailer over at Apple’s. Iron Man 2 will hit a cin­ema near you on May 7th, 2010.
