Full Super Bowl Spots for 'World War Z' and, Yes, 'Snitch'!

snitch-trailer.jpg

Some Super Bowl film ads popped up yesterday, but as you may have noticed, those were incomplete. Infuriatingly, they were abbreviated spots teasing the full product, and more importantly, where the eff was SNITCH, the red-hot action-drama everyone is talking about, starring The Rock as a giant dad trying to save his son from jail, by driving a truck?

Well, now you don't have to watch the game anymore, because the full 30-second spot for Snitch has arrived early to show you just how much talking on the phone Rock does in this. The full spot for the Brad Pitt zombie thriller World War Z is also here, but who cares? We got a SNITCH and it needs scratchin'!

Tom Cruise Is Someone's Crazy Ex-Boyfriend in New 'Jack Reacher' Spot

tom-cruise-reacher.jpg

The official trailer for Jack Reacher explicitly laid out many, many traits about our titular hero, among them: Jack Reacher is a ghost! Jack Reacher wants the truth! Jack Reacher is not a hero! Jack Reacher has no limits! Jack Reacher has nothing to lose! And so on.

This new TV spot covers one key Reacher facet that trailer missed: Jack Reacher will go into an auto-parts store and demand to know if "Sandy" works there, then threaten violence if the employees won't tell him, because beyond being "a ghost," Jack Reacher is also an overly-aggressive ex-boyfriend archetype. He has nothing to lose! Not since he lost Sandy.
