When news broke that director Gore Verbinski and Johnny Depp were planning to re-team to turn the classic 1950’s TV series The Lone Ranger into a big screen movie – it seemed like an odd flick to imagine – especially with translating the concept for modern audiences. Depp championed the project and was keen on […]
A new trailer has been released for director John Moore‘s A Good Day to Die Hard, which sees the irrepressible Bruce Willis return as bad ass-cop, John McClane.

Judging from trailer, the direction of the franchise has shifted […]
The first trailer for Alex Cross is here starring Tyler Perry in the titular role originated by Morgan Freeman in Along Came a Spider and Kiss the Girls. Former Lost star Matthew Fox has totally transformed himself, looking ridiculously toned and thin to play the serial killer/sadist, Picasso. For the most part, the flick looks pretty exciting, except the trailer gives away a lot of the plot, so hopefully there’s still some surprises to be had. The film is […]

Hopefully Disney’s new animated film Wreck-It Ralph, is an exception as its directed by Rich Moore – who’s previous directorial credits include The Simpsons […]
E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial was a mega-hit upon it’s release back in 1982, groundbreaking for it’s tale of a non-violent alien race, and more so for it’s visual effects which were a testament to the creative team over at George Lucas‘s Industrial Light and Magic. 20 years later filmmaker Steven Spielberg saw fit to take the road traveled by the original Star Wars Trilogy and re-release the movie […]

A 4-minute “super preview” for The Amazing Spider-Man recently debuted on TV, now it’s available online. We’re offered a glimpse at a big action set piece, plus some similar highlights seen in the recent trailer.

The first trailer has been released for Jay Roach‘s new comedy The Campaign, starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis. The film focuses on an incumbent candidate (Ferrell) who doesn’t expect to be opposed in his run for a fifth-term, until an unexpected challenger arrives; the unassuming and dim-witted Marty Huggins (Galifianakis).

Writer-director Rian Johnson‘s Looper is shaping up to be a cool futuristic thriller which doesn’t rely on digital cities and flying cars – though perhaps flying bikes, to set the scene for a stylish realm where time travel is used for the diabolical needs of the mob. Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Bruce Willis play the same character, just 30 years apart, and when the […]
The first trailer for Woody Allen’s To Rome with Love has been released.
