Angelina Jolie does Jason Bourne? I’m listening…
Well this looks like a pretty fun ride. The “Pirates of the Caribbean” vibe is unmistakable, but that doesn’t mean it won’t be an entertaining movie! Check out the first trailer:
This 3 and a half minute trailer should give you a better idea of the plot and some of the supporting characters. The CGI still doesn’t look “game-changing”, but its still impressive and the film definitely looks like a fun ride… Not sure about that dialog though… oh well, check out the brand new trailer from Yahoo!:
Jason Bourne goes to Iraq? But seriously, this is directed by Paul Greengrass who directed the last 2 Bourne movies, so it will probably be pretty good. Here’s the first look:
Hearing about a A-Team remake in the form of a big budget Hollywood movie definitely did not seem like a great idea when I first heard about, but slowly the casting was announced and things became a bit more interesting. Bradley Cooper, Liam Neeson, Sharlto Copley (of District 9) and Quentin Jackson (former UFC fighter) make up the team and based on this first image released to the web, the casting is perfect.
The movie is set to hit theaters June 11, 2010
This movie is absolutely stacked with classic action movie guys and the cliche’s are relentless even in this 3 minute promo trailer, but I’ll be damned if this doesn’t look pretty awesome. Check out the trailer:
This looks like the most badass movie ever. You gotta check out the trailer below:
When “The Man” murders his brother, pumps heroin into local orphanages, and floods the ghetto with adulterated malt liquor, BLACK DYNAMITE is the one hero willing to fight all the way from the blood-soaked city streets to the hallowed halls of the Honky House. Michael Jai White stars as BLACK DYNAMITE, a gun-toting, nunchuck-wielding, ladies man and soul brother. Written and directed by Scott Sanders (marking his return to Sundance, ten years after his last film Thick as Thieves premiered) BLACK DYNAMITE also stars Tommy Davidson, Nicole Sullivan, Bokeem Woodbine, Arsenio Hall and John Salley.
Roland Emmerich has outdone himself. It looks like 2012 will easily take the title of most ridiculous, over-the-top disaster movie of all time. Despite the cheese-factor, the special effects and CGI look stunning and they are on full display in this 5-minute teaser of the film which hits theaters November 13th. Watch:
It seems that Travolta is back trying out his “badass” mode. The movie is from the same gang that brought you the out of nowhere hit Taken, and it looks pretty entertaining. Check out the trailer:
