Nov 18 2009 In French, 'Avatar' Looks a Lot More Made-for-TV Fantasy Miniseries-ish

The lack of John Rhys-Davies is all that's separating this from being a SyFy original called Effigy.

Nov 13 2009 I Think This Is a Newish 'Avatar' Trailer

avatar-tv-trailer.jpg

If you still can't get enough of seeing Sam Worthington's wheelchairing and blue cat people with glowing freckles, here's a relatively new trailer for Avatar. I guess it was run during Fox's last airing of Glee, so it's as old as whenever it is Glee is on. I'll have to check which day on my calendar is marked with a hand doing an "L" thing.

Nov 11 2009 'Clash of the Titans' Trailer: This Sweet Music Makes Me Think Something Awesome Should Be Happening!

clash-of-the-titans-teaser.jpg

Imagine if Hercules: The Legendary Journeys had just a few thousand more dollars in its budget. How many extra eight or nine hours Kevin Sorbo could have afforded to spend in the gym; how many tens of more extras could have been employed; how much slightly more realistic the giant CGI scorpions might have appeared; how they could have maybe got Liam Neeson to do a brief cameo to slam his fist on something. Wouldn't that have been pretty mediocre?

Imagine no longer! That Sliders parallel universe is now:

Nov 4 2009 'Clash of the Titans' Involves So Much Yelling

clash-of-the-titans-posters.jpg

Even the disembodied heads and winged horses scream in this thing. The script must be all vowels and exclamation points.

Johnny Legal Department doesn't want us to have this until next week, but, thanks to bootleggers, the new trailer for a certain highly-anticipated sci-fi adventure involving blue cat people is on internet. Hurry, before it's not!

Aug 20 2009 'Avatar' Trailer: It Will Destroy Everything You Hold Dear! I Guess.

avatar-trailer.jpg

James Cameron's Avatar is being called everything from "a gamechanger" to "a life destroyer" to "something that will forcefully fill every one of your orifices with three-dimensionalness." The film's first trailer has finally been released, so now you can see what all the fanboy catcalls were all about. I guess the game changing part is that this is the first forest species to look slightly more convincing than Ewoks?

Aug 14 2009 New 'Avatar' Shot: A Race Skilled in Circular Breathing

avatar-alien-tank.jpg

I'm still not entirely clear on all the finer plot details of James Cameron's Avatar, but looking at this new shot and the blue creature's hand positioning, I'm going to guess the focus is on the U.S. military breeding a test tube-born super-being specifically for the purpose of playing the alto sax.

If that ends up not being the plot, let's make that movie. The Kenny Gene?

Two New 'Avatar' Photos [Coming Soon]

Jun 2 2009 Marcus Wright Armored Up for 'Clash of the Titans'

clash-of-titans-worthington.jpg

Ostensibly from the newest issue of Empire, the first production photo from Clash of the Titans has shown up on /Film. The image depicts a scowling Sam Worthington portraying Perseus, or, as I like to call him, "What I imagined my character in the 1996 PC game Diablo looked like in real life."

Hopefully new shots will soon emerge that reveal why Worthington is so pissed at this hand.

May 11 2009 Something for Fans of 'Terminator Salvation' and Grease-Soaked Pan Pizzas

terminator-salvation-harves.jpg

Thanks to a partnership between Pizza Hut and Warner Bros. (as a "Hut" rep explained: "Pizza Hut's iconic red Hut may not be as intimidating as the Terminator's red eye, but pizza and movies are time-tested favorites"), the Book-It sponsor has just released a new clip with behind-the-scenes footage from Terminator Salvation.

Director McG introduces it, explaining it's for "Pizza Hut and Terminator fans" (i.e., everyone) and adds, "You're about to see the Harvester attacking humanity," so I was expecting a giant robot going on a long diatribe about man's war-like ways and tendencies towards greed and destruction, but it ended up being more exciting than that. Gas tanker-exploding exciting!:

May 8 2009 Four Effing Minutes of 'Terminator Salvation'

terminator-4-minutes.jpg

This trailer really lays all the cards on the table. John Connor confronting his Terminator buddy; Terminator motorcycles; Terminator Bears fighting Terminator Gorillas; a Terminator punching a guy so hard he lands on the sun; the 1st Annual Terminator Dog Show; a smaller Terminator skeleton within a larger Terminator skeleton; Terminator Buddha; just everything.

I can't imagine there are many surprises left for the film after this trailer, but still, kind of awesome:

Apr 10 2009 There's a New 'Terminator' Movie Coming Out

terminator-poster-100.jpg

Watchmen has some competition in the ridiculously excessive number of posters market. Here's another variation of the Batman-Worthington-Terminator motif, now with more heavenly aura, from IGN.

One thing I'll say about Terminators is, even if they are trying to exterminate the human race through a combination of brute force and covert operations, it's nice how they're always smiling.

Apr 9 2009 Don't Forget There's Another Terminator Movie Coming Out

terminator-salvation-heads.jpg

Here's a poster to remind you. Interesting how they chose to deliberately model this design after the look of the bumpers from the Channel 4 series, Garth Marenghi's Darkplace:

This can't be a stretched coincidence!

Mar 3 2009 New 'Terminator Salvation' Trailer May Be Only Hope You Have, John Connor

terminator-salvation-traile.jpg

Bad news, future resistance leader John Connor: The Terminator monsters outnumber us humans, they're killing us, and they've started wearing our human skins as disguise coats. But on the plus side, you're kissing the Lady in the Water, so you're doing alright too. This video should summarize things.

Dec 4 2008 ET's 'Terminator Salvation' Trailer Trailer

terminator-salvation-et.jpg

On Tuesday, Entertainment Tonight (still a top program for people who like their entertainment news at a noticeably louder volume than the rest of the world) will debut the new Terminator Salvation trailer. To prepare our minds for such an event, they have released a trailer for the trailer. So here's a brief preview of what the brief preview on Tuesday will look like (there are robots):

Aug 4 2008 New 'Terminator Salvation' Someone Facing Someone Else Shot

terminator-salvation-face-o.jpg

Terminator Salvation is going to be so awesome. I hear there's this one scene where John Connor, played by Christian Bale, and this other guy, played by this other guy, totally look directly towards one another, and there aren't even any Terminator robots present to distract from the intense staring. It's going to be the best scene in the entire series.
