Coming off the Academy Award-winning success of their Descendants script, and the lesser commercial success of their respective sitcoms, Jim Rash and Nat Faxon are giving directing a shot with The Way, Way Back. The film is essentially just a classic boy-meets-girl-at-a-summer-job coming-of-age story, but in the mode of Adventureland, it pads it out with enough likable ringers to keep things interesting. Little Miss Sunshine's Toni Collette and Steve Carell reunite under the flag of indie dramedy to play the kid's mom and would-be stepfather, while Sam Rockwell, Allison Janney, Maya Rudolph, Rob Corddry, Amanda Peet, and AnnaSophia Robb fill out the cast. Rash and Faxon also appear, and Rash puts out an idiotic outfit to dance and squeal. After Community, that's just something we expect every time we see him.
Here's the trailer:

Think the American 2012 trailer looked good? Wait until you see the Japanese trailer! It's still mostly shots of Earth crumbling to pieces--along with John Cusack expressing, "Ut-ohs, the Earth!"--but this time there are Japanese subtitles! But if you're really into watching ground caving in, you will love this:

Every generation needs their own animated, ham-fisted, humans-as-enemies morality tale. My generation had Fern Gully, a response to deforestation concerns told through ferries fairies and an obnoxious bat. This generation will have Battle for Terra, giving today's youth the clear message that humans should not commit genocide in the name of colonization, even if the native inhabitants of those lands do look like creepy stillborns just begging to be killed. Here's the trailer:

Roland Emmerich, director of Independence Day, Godzilla, and The Day After Tomorrow, has made another movie on his favorite subject: some kind of disaster destroying Earth. The trailer suggests doing a "Google search" on "2012" (the trailer's main goal is confusing grandparents with terms they don't understand), so I did that. Results reveal that Sarah Palin is stoking speculation she'll run again in 2012 (that's a real apocalypse, ya know!?), AND THAT THE MAYAN CALENDAR WILL END ITS 13th CYCLE, which many crazies interpret as meaning humans will die, be elevated to a higher level, or "that Biaviian aliens will allow passage aboard their Great Mother Ship." Ancient civilizations and crazy people have never been wrong about anything before, so we should probably just take this movie a fact. However John Cusack survives is how we will survive as a people.

I'm pretty sure the point of these X-Files trailers to get everyone in the audience screaming, "Look in the snow! Would you just look in the goddamn snow already? Whatever it is, I promise you it's in the snow." Only then we'll find out it's not in the snow, and we'll realize we've been X-Filed.
By the way, this is the same as the Russian trailer from yesterday, but less Russian.
The X-Files: I Want to Believe Trailer [Yahoo!]
To the untrained eye, the following spy shots from the set of X-Files 2: Get Them Aliens are just a series of boring shots from the backlot of some studio. Nothing but a fashion show to see how David Duchovny and Amanda Peet look in trenchcoats. But to the skilled eye (mine), the details of the scene emerge like a government plot involving bees.
More images, along with absolutely accurate scene dialogue, under the cut.
