Movie trailer catch-up!
UK's Channel 4 meticulously recreated the set of The Shining for a behind-the-scenes one minute tracking shot. It's a lush and deeply geeky ad for The Stanley Kubrik Season.
Trailers
- I'm probably going to see REPO!: The Genetic Opera on video. I wouldn't even be interested at all except that it has Anthony Stewart Head starring as (if I read this right) a murderous organ-collector called "Repo Man" and he sings.
Huzzah!
- I'm thinking that The Day The Earth Stood Still is going to be very, very cool. I love Keanu Reeves and Jennifer Connely, and I love a space invasion yarn.
- Bolt looks cute, but I might wait for video. Plucky dogs just aren't my cup of tea these days.
- I'm intrigued by Miracle at St. Anna, which looks absolutely fascinating. I love murder mysteries that turn into historical mysteries.
- Mirrors looks gross, scary, and cool. I've always thought mirrors were a creepy device for horror stories. Be warned: the trailer gives away pretty much the entire plot of the movie, including what looks like several deaths.
- Igor looks light-hearted, funny, and adorable. It looks Discworld-worthy in the fine tradition of the Igors.
- The trailer for Tropic Thunder definitely caught my eye. Hilariousness! Is that Robert Downey Junior? Seriously? That's fantastic. I especially like the "What do you mean 'you people'?" / "What do you mean, 'you people'?" crack at the end of the trailer between the fake black guy and the real black guy.
- Traitor: my love for Don Cheadle knows no bounds. This looks controversial and intense. I also like the look of the rest of the cast: Guy Pearce, Jeff Daniels. Don Cheadle + Guy Pierce on the same screen? HAPPINESS.
- There's three featurettes available for HP & The Half-Blood Prince, sneak peeks on youtube. Unfortunately, Quiddich is back. I remember when I read book 6 that I thought that the movie would be good to cut out the quiddich part entirely, since at this point it's almost a distraction from the main plot. It's fanservice.
- The Mummy 3 just looks like plain ole' kickass FUN.
- Bill Maher's Religious looks interesting, but I'm skeptical. I don't know much
about Bill Maher since I've rarely watched him on tv, but I would hope that the issue is handled with respect and humor, rather than skewered.
- Man, that's a lot of hair they wore back then. The Duchess looks like epic historical romance. I don't know if it actually looks good, though.
- Inkheart looks like badass fantasy bibliophile fun, and makes me want to start listening to the audiobook version I have lying around somewhere.

Also, Jenniffer Connelly + Anything, ESPECIALLY a remake of the legendary "Day The Earth Stoody Still" = My ass in seat. :)

The Day the Earth Stood Still? They're not seriously remaking that, are they? I haven't seen the original yet!
The Mummy 3 looks like fun but RACHEL WEISZ IS NOT IN IT and that weirds me out/makes me really, really sad.
Man, Brenden Frasier has like three movies coming out soon. I hope they're good. I do like him.
