Avast! Trailer For Inherent Vice.

After directing The Master and There Will Be Blood Paul Thomas Anderson looks to have moved away from the more serious, dramatic movies and settled on the offbeat and the quirky with his latest offering Inherent Vice.

Based on the best selling novel of the same name by Thomas Pynchon the movie stars  Joaquin Phoenix as Doc Sportello a Californian based private detective who’s is hired by an ex to find her missing current billionaire boyfriend. The film is set in the 60s and also stars Josh Brolin, Owen Wilson, Reese Witherspoon and Benicio Del Toro.

From the trailer above the movie has a delicious Big Lebowski feel to it.

Inherent Vice is set to open in cinemas across the UK on January 30th.

Avast! Leaked Evil Dead Remake Trailer.

No this isn’t the HD officially released version, this is a leaked copy of the trailer filmed through somebody’s jacket, but even though it’s not the best quality I’m not sure I like the look of this remake, it seems far too serious for me. The original was peppered with some much needed light relief, courtesy of the genius facial contortionist Bruce Campbell. This just seems too evil deadpan…sorry.

Killing Them Softly Clip & Poster.

Brad Pitt’s lastest film Killing Them Softly now has an official poster, complete with current minimilst style and a short clip from the film itself.

Based on the book  Cogan’s Trade by George V. Higgins it tells the story of  Jackie Cogan, a gangland enforcer, who is hired by the Mob when a high-end card game, which was under their protection, is cleaned out by robbers.

Expect a general cast of low-life, desperate characters, fleshed out by none other than  Ray Liotta, James Gandolfini, Richard Jenkins and Sam Shepard, who will stop at nothing to double-cross everyone in their path.

Avast Traier For Ben Affleck’s Argo.

At first glance we thought this might be the long awaited trailer for the movie about the history surrounding one of Britain’s much loved catalogue merchants but then we realised we had read the title wrong.

Based on the true story of the Canadian Caper, the film is set during the 1979 Iran hostage crisis where both the American and Canadian governments, (along with those ever-helpful chaps the CIA), worked together to hatch an elaborate plan to rescue six stranded US diplomats who had been held hostage in their own embassy in Tehran, by convincing Iranian authorities that they were a camera crew sent to the country to scout for locations for a huge Hollywood sci-fi movie called Argo.

Directed by and starring Ben Affleck it also features Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Michael Parks, Alan Arkin and Clea Duvall and it’s main screenplay was adapted from a Wired magazine article published in 2007 unimaginatively entitled: How The CIA Used A Fake Sci-Fi Flick To Rescue Americans From Tehran.

Avast! Red Band Trailer For Seth MacFarlane’s Ted.

Seth MacFarlane, the man responsible for Family Guy, has finally made a full length movie and it’s not all that far removed from his traditional animated antics.

Starring Mark ‘Marky’ Wahlberg and Mila Kunis, Ted tells the story of  John Bennett, a grown man who must deal with the cherished teddy bear, (voiced by Seth MacFarlane), who came to life as the result of a childhood wish and has refused to leave his side ever since.

As you can tell from the trailer it has the Family Guy humour stamped all over it except now there’s no restrictions on using bad language or censorship over sexually themed jokes.

Avast! Second Prometheus Trailer.

We’ve been trying to resist the urge of getting all excited in a schoolgirl fashion over the prospect of Ridley Scott’s forthcoming sci-fi epic movie Prometheus, but after watching the second official trailer above, our pigtails are now in a twist.

Loads more footage has been revealed from the movie in this latest trailer which premiered at Wondercon 2012 last week. From what we’ve seen so far it appears Scott is well and truly back on form with a glorious return to the genre which effectively launched his career.

The plot of Prometheus rattles along like so:

In the late 21st Century, a star map is discovered within the imagery of Aztec, Mesopotamian and Magdalenian culture. The crew of the spaceship Prometheus is sent on a scientific expedition to follow the map as part of a mission to find the origins of mankind. Exploring the advanced civilization of an extraterrestrial race, they soon discover a threat to humanity’s very existence.

Begad! Trailer For Disney’s Chimpanzee.

WARNING: Due to the significant cuteness overload throughout this trailer you may experience the following side effects:

A strange tightening of the throat. The need to swallow hard. The sudden formation of a film of water across both eyes and a fuzzy feeling across your teeth.

This is the trailer for Disneynature’s Chimpanzee a documentary which records the plight of a three year-old chimp  who is suddenly left an orphan and is then raised by a single older chimp. Directed by Alistair Fothergill and Mark Linfield, who’s collective work includes Blue Planet, Deep Blue and Planet Earth the entire documentary catches a remarkable story shot on the Ivory Coast and Ugandan rain forest.

Chimpanzee will be released in cinemas on April 20th, Earth Day, 2012.

Avast! Warrior Trailer.

A quick word of warning before you watch this trailer for the film Warrior, which stars Joel Edgerton, (Smokin’ Aces, Star Wars: Revenge Of The Sith) and Tom Hardy, (Bronson, Inception), it spoils the entire film. It’s so criminally bad it butchers every secret twist and turn of the plot right up to exposing the film’s concluding set piece. You’ve been warned.

On a side note Warrior looks like every other sporting film ever made, ticking all the boxes other sports movies have ticked before it; training montage, inspirational comeback, family conflicts, one last shot at glory, blah, blah, blah. But we’ll watch it for only one reason. This guy is in it…

…and he’s f@cking awesome!

Avast! Trailer For Mission In-Frickin-Sanity.

Go! Go! Go! Here’s the trailer for the fifth installment of The Fast and The Furious franchise creatively entitled Fast Five. Fans will be pleased to know that Vin Diesel and Paul Walker continue  their homoerotic bromance for each other but this time they’re off to the slums of Rio, where no doubt vacuum sealed t-shirts will be soaked through with sweat as they’re pursued by none other than The Rock himself. Actually the prospect of both Diesel and Johnson sharing screen time together could lead to a rip in the space time continuum due to the overload of testosterone and facial grimacing. This shit just got real!

I'll think you'll find my shirt is the tightest.
