Whoohee !! So, red band is the frakin' word of the summer, I'm tellin' ya. We've gotten HAPPENING red bands, TROPIC THUNDER, PINEAPPLE EXPRESS, more recently STEP BROTHERS and now BURN AFTER READING. Give me a DARK KNIGHT red band and I'm diced, grilled, and ready to serve.
BURN AFTER READING is the much anticipated Coen brothers' follow up to the much lauded NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. I'm excited and you should be too because, well, before this trailer came out, only simple plot details and casting were released and those alone made me piss a little in my pants. George Clooney, Frances McDormand, Brad Pitt, Richard Jenkins, John Malkovich and Tilda "Astoundingly Gorgeous" Swinton !! It's Coen brothers. It's comedy. It's gold, like another Oscar, gold.
Quickly before the trailer. BURN follows two dim-headed gym employees (Pitt & McDormand) who happen across a disk containing the memoirs of an ex CIA agent. They then proceed to blackmail the agent (Malkovich), but when that proves unsuccessful, they try to sell it to the next highest bidder whether it be Russians or even other agents. The burning begins September 12th.

BURN AFTER READING/watching the new red band trailer
The Bat and Joker: Easy Riders

Uwe Boll doesn't bollsh*t around, well kinda, but only for marketing
Do you have a problem with Uwe Boll? if yes, why? I have only seen three of Boll's film: HOUSE OF THE DEAD, ALONE IN THE DARK, and BLOODRAYNE. I have very specific issues with his filmmaking that just rub me the wrong way. It's the direction that feels weird. It's the camera work that feels uncreative. It's the editing that seems off and choppy. But I do believe that everyone and anyone that has the will to make film should be able to and be given the power to. I am interested in seeing Boll's latest film, POSTAL based off of an equally interesting videogame series and has just hit theaters last week.
Well, there has been a very large backlash against Boll and his film in the recent weeks and months even to the point of a online petition asking for a million signatures to stop Boll for every making another film. What a bunch of crap! How can a community based of creativity and will be so against someone wanting to make films. There are many people that enjoy his movies and that are not critical of them as many of us cinephiles are. Well, LoadingReadyRun.com has just recently had an interview with Mr. Boll about recent events, his projects, online idiots, and the process of filmmaking in general. I appreciate his contribution to the film industry even if I don't enjoy his films. Make up your own mind.
STEP BROTHERS is now red band !!
Yes sir/ma'am, we've got it, the red band trailer for STEP BROTHERS, and it's gonna f*** your s*** up !! Enjoy.

CHOKE trailer induces coma--got ya ! Didn't see that one comin' did ya?
Not sure if you remember but a while back I presented you all with a Sundance Channel exclusive clip behind the scenes of the upcoming film adaptation of Chuck Palahniuk's CHOKE, but I did. Now, little ol' CHOKE has itself a purdy little trailer, and it is quite purdy indeed. Check it out for yourself below. CHOKE is written and directed for the screen by Clark Gregg aka the SHIELD agent from IRON MAN that kept harassing Pepper Potts for a sit-down with Tony Stark about his escape from the terrorists. Ya, that guy, he's great.
It really is a fun trailer but I wish it was marketed a little differently and not play on the whole "he's unconsiously trying to change his ways" deal. Also I guess, even though they showed choking scenes, it wasn't played up at all. We'll have to wait for the film.

So many photos from THE HAPPENING, you'd swear you were in a psychotic stalker's house
You know, for a director who's always had his work under wraps, THE HAPPENING sure is being put out there for everyone to ogle over (though I'm sure everyone is just trying to get extra glimpses of Zooey Deschanel, I know I am). A Spanish site, Cinema em Cena recently got a scoop of THE HAPPENING in the form of photographs from the set as well as from the picture. I'm talking about a whole gallery full of photographs and in high-definition, too. The curl of Zooey's smile never looked so good. Speaking of her smile, click on it below to view the gallery in its entirety. Apprécier.
RIGHTEOUS KILL finally gets a good trailer, really good
If you saw the first trailer for RIGHTEOUS KILL, then you, like me, were most likely turned off by how bad it was. No joke, I thought it looked bad. A movie with Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Bad.
Well, their marketing department put on their pretty shoes and put out a rather good trailer for the film and I really like it. The first trailer was playing the whole DEPARTED feel, making it seem like a Scorsese when it wasn't. That's all been fixed, it now looks like an original film, well as original as it can get. So, here it is then, RIGHTEOUS KILL in all its Albert Paniro glory. Get it? I just stuck both of their names together.
THE HAPPENING marketing: People dying and the ones who choreograph it
SlashFilm had a video yesterday as part of their VideoOfTheDay feature and they posted a very cool improv clip done by some folks in Australia as part of a promotion for THE HAPPENING. Now, there has been a little bit of a bad vibe going around about the film after a recent clip was released on Yahoo by Shyamalan that shows a few minutes from the film. I don't want to spoil anything; you can just watch it and SPOIL it yourself. Click the post extender below and watch both clips, or just one, or none and just go buy some ice cream from the truck you just heard outside. GOTTA GO !!
