New trailer for Red online
Filmstalker — RedCrew.jpg There's a new trailer online for Red, and it gives away far too much, but not quite as much as the last trailer we saw did. I'm confused, I loved Red (Filmstalker review) , but I'm really unsure of how the film is being marketed. I would have thought that they would have played on the slow building pace and the excellent character played wonderfully by Brian Cox. That's what they do for the first half of the trailer, but then it turns to the latter part of the film, the part that is more about violence and revenge, but dismissing the build up of the film and going straight to the harder side of it is missing the entire point of the film. It's as though it's playing ...

The Broken (The Brøken) trailer online
Filmstalker — TheBroken.jpg The trailer for The Broken (The Brøken) is online, the film written and directed by Sean Elliis about a woman who sees herself drive past in her own car and soon begins to witness her entire world slipping away from underneath her. The trailer has arrived online, well two in fact a French and a Japanese teaser, both incredibly different and telling the story in two very different ways, and together they're making me hungry to see this film. You know I love it when a single line blurb like that grabs you by the throat, and that's exactly what it does here. The Broken ...

Trailering Moodyson's Mammoth
Movie City Indie —

Lukas Moodysson, Now with Wider Appeal!
Movies — mammut A trailer for contemporary Swedish arthouse director Lukas Moodysson's new film Mammoth has appeared over at Twitch (where, if you take a look at the comments section, it's apparently catching some heat). The trailer makes the film, which stars Gael Garcia Bernal and Michelle Williams, look like a pretty big departure from Moodysson's previous films. Moodysson, whose previous two films were staunchly experimental, has the potential to capture an audience he never had before. Mammoth is his first film shot in English, it has two well-known stars, and it's also the biggest and most expensive film he's ever worked on, at $11 million ( Lilja 4-ever was made for less ...

Fiendish Dr. Wu! You done fucked up now!!! New BLACK DYNAMITE clip sneaks online with its Kung-Fu treachery!!!
Ain't It Cool News - The best in movie, TV, DVD, and comic book news. — Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Oh, Black Dynamite... you are so badass... Twitch has a new clip from one of my most anticipated movies of 2009 and at the beginning of it, I felt a little excitement dwindle a bit. It seems sillier than I was hoping it would be, but damn it... Michael Jai White's pure charisma and delivery of the line I posted in the headline, got me back on board the "this movie will blow my socks off, my mind out and my balls to the four corners of the earth" train. Enjoy!
