I thought, seeing as I am constantly finding trailers for films that I want to see this year, that I would put together a single post summing up the ones I am really looking forward to and hope to catch at the cinema.
First and foremost my anticipation levels are pretty much sapped by Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, this will hopefully be the beginning of the end that we all want to see (and hopefully make up for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince). Released November 19th there is a still a while to wait, but for now we can entertain and mentally arouse ourselves with the trailer.
Next up on my radar is the kick-ass looking new Bruce Willis/Morgan Freeman DC Comics conversion, Retired: Extremely Dangerous, or RED for short. Featuring a bunch of ex/retired CIA agents who are now most wanted, this one looks like being a great autumn action classic. Bring on the OAPs!
Out October 15th.
Arriving much closer to us is the Angelina Jolie hit-girl gun-fest. With lots and lots of media attention surrounding this it is bound to be a little bit of a let down, though I managed to avoid most of it until I surrendered to the trailer yesterday. Out August 20th in the UK I might have to catch this one when I’m back from my holidays, let’s hope the main event doesn’t rub salt in the wounds. Sorry.
Buried. Alive. In a coffin. To me it doesn’t get much more claustrophobic than that, and I’m pretty sure Ryan Reynolds agrees. Held for ransom in Iraq the movie is apparently set predominantly underground, and the teaser trailer does a good job of maintaining the suspense without using any video footage from the finished product, ensuring that your first viewing has maximum impact. Out in October in the US, but with no given UK date so far, I am really looking forward to this one.
OK the last one isn’t until 2011, February 11th to be precise, but I wanted to include it here because it looks brilliant. Sam Worthington of Avatar fame goes Nazi hunting over a span of time, chasing one bad as mo’ fo’ in particular. Have a look at the trailer below and keep it in your mind, this one will be good.
I’m also getting pretty excited by the new TRON installation from Disney. Having yet to see the original I have no preconceptions, but judging by the recent Comic-Con released trailer, it looks pretty bloody spiffing.
