It’s been a while since I did one of these posts. A few upcoming films that look interesting-
From Paris With Love. John Travolta does his over the top crazy act again. I can almost forgive him his Scientology and Battlefield Earth so long as shit keeps blowing up.
Kick Ass. Based on a comic by Mark Millar, who also created Wanted (the comic, which became a very entertaining, if silly, film). For some reason I’ve never been interested in any of Millar’s comics apart from The Ultimates. But the films look great.
How To Train Your Dragon. Because I’m a sucker for cgi stuff.
Repo Men. Yes it’s got Jude Law in it, but it still looks interesing.
Karate Kid. Yet another remake, but it does have Jackie Chan.
Though I doubt even I could spot myself in either. The shot at the end of the Awaydays trailer, where Carty throws a punch in a bar looks like the scene I spent a day in Birkenhead for.
There was some big sporting event overnight in the US. A lot of money was spent on adverts during the game, including a few trailers for films I’ll probably end up listing for Orange Wednesdays.
Star Trek
Transformers 2
GI Joe
Fast and Furious 4
Some of these may get taken down for copyright violation, so watch them while you can.
From the Watchmen site, a featurette on the film. More new footage in this one, even though it’s all quite familiar. I can spot which bit of the graphic novel most of the shots were from.
Not as much as Watchmen, obviously, but X-Men Origins: Wolverine should be full of characters I sort of recognise from back when I was a big Uncanny X-Men fan. io9 has the trailer.
