Trailer Roundup #5

Wow... so it's been a while since we've done trailer roundup, but there were some really awesome trailers I've seen lately that I think YOU should see!

I think I'm going to start with the new Last Airbender trailer! This is the first trailer really where we've seen any of the movie dialogue! It looks awesome. I'm really skeptical because of M. Night Shymalan being attached the project, but maybe he will prove his forté in screen adaptations instead of original pieces. Some people are iffy about the movie since it was originally an anime show and none of the people that have been cast are asian, but I have to disagree and say that the cast looks amazing! At least it isn't a Dragonball Z debacle where they only cast Americans in the roles of Japanese characters! Check it out and let us know what you think... As one final note, you might've remembered the movie originall being called Avatar, but thanks to James Cameron, it has now just been changed to The Last Airbender. Jerk.


I'm gonna pile through a few that you should check out that I honestly don't know that much about. First in this list is Adele Blanc-Sec (or the Extraordinary Adventures of Adele Blanc-Sec). This movie I believe (I beeeeeelieve...) is french and looks amazing! The graphics look a bit hokey, but the story looks like a lot of fun and could be a refreshing flick! Then there is A.D., which is an animated zombie apocalypse flick, which looks pretty awesome! The art in the film isn't exactly Pixar animation, but it looks pretty awesome nonetheless and looks like it could be freaky! Then we have Heartless, which is the new Jim Sturgess flick which looks to be about a man who may have discovered the presence of demons. It looks pretty spooky and awesome.


Now I'll go back to some ones I do know a bit more about. For all you avid readers out there, a movie adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is coming out. Last year (for me) was a really bad year for book to movie adaptations and I'm hoping the streak of bad will be broken with this one. This looks fantastic! The book takes place in Sweden and the characters are all Swedish and the movie has a Swedish no-name cast that looks absolutely BANG-ON to the book characters. If you haven't read the book, I highly recommend it and I'm hoping I can say so about the movie too when it's out!

ANNNNNND because I don't want to get too into a few more titles and make this TOO long, I'll just mention a couple others! Think of them as my honourable mentions! The Crazies looks like a really spooky horror-thriller with a pretty swell cast. The Losers looks a bit like Smokin' Aces or something but it looks funny and again, the cast looks pretty alright! Last but not least is Kevin Smith's new comedy Cop Out. I honestly wasn't sure about this one when I saw the first trailer for it, but after watching the red band trailer, I died laughing and I think this one might be a redeeming movie for Mr. Smith.

That concludes our fifth edition of TRAILER ROUNDUP! If there is anything you want to add or any trailers we should check out, leave us a comment and share what's on your mind!
