[Movies] The Upcoming Movies Trailer Thread
- Thread starter Adam
- Start date
My mom got us theater gift cards for Christmas, my aunts gave us free movie tickets, and my dad has sent us money to go to the movies. I appreciate all that, but there is nothing fucking playing. The former two sit in my wallet unused and the latter was spent on video games. My wife and I would love to go to the movies, it's an activity we enjoy, but we're not going to go for the sake of going. There has to be something to see.
This summer feels so weak, at least to start. I looked over IMDB for April releases--nothing I give a shit about. May? Iron Man 3, nothing else. June? Maybe Monsters Inc 2, with my cousins, but I really don't think it's going to be that great. Better that than Despicable Me 2, but still... July has Pacific Rim and maybe The Conjuring. August...
What the fuck? How did I not know there was a prequel to 300 being released? Not that I'm going to see it, but still, I thought we'd have heard of it. I'm sure we would have if Zack Snyder was still the director.
So Red 2, never saw the first, Kick-Ass 2, I don't see as being worth a theater run. Maybe I should just catch up on my rentals.
Okay what. There is a new Riddick movie coming in September? How am I not hearing of this stuff? I guess because I haven't been to the movies since The Hobbit so I haven't been saturated with trailers.
Woo boy, Sin City 2. It's been eight years. Eight years. In that time, Frank Miller has proven he should not be behind the camera, ever, and yet he's apparently co-directing with Robert Rodriguez? Or maybe it's just a token title. I hope it is. I have a feeling I'm past the point in my life where I'm going to find this kind of shit enjoyable and worth going to the movies to see, despite my love for the original.
Oldboy remake, Carrie remake. Wow, they finally got Ender's Game off the ground. I don't know if I'll see that. Despite the author's shitheadedness, I really do love that book and I don't know if I want to watch a movie do the story horribly.
Well, at least the year ends high. Thor: The Dark World, Hunger Games: Catching Fire (which will be known as the last good one), a new Disney animated film, and The Hobbit. I guess I should just save my theater gift cards for November and December.

This year looks awesome from my perspective:
April- Evil Dead, Pain & Gain
May - Iron Man 3, Great Gatsby, Fast 6, Now You See Me
June - This is the End, White House Down, The Heat
July - Pacific Rim, The Wolverine
August - 2 Guns (might be good), Elysium, The World's End
September- Riddick, uhhhhhhhhhhhh
October - Gravity, Oldboy (BY SPIKE FUCKING LEE), Carrie (looks good, don't care, remakes own)
November - Ender's Game, Thor 2 (didn't really love the first, but this looks better), The Counselor (Ridley Scott directing a screenplay by CORMAC FUCKING MCCARTHY WHAT ARE YOU SERIOUS), Wolf of Wall Street (Scorcese + Dicaprio)
December - Hobbit 2, Anchorman 2, some other shit not set in stone yet

So Spike Lee is reinterpreting Oldboy? Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. I guess we'll see how that turns out.
what do you have against Spike Lee, he owns
Nothing, it's more the idea of reinterpreting the movie than who's at the helm. I just don't feel like anything else needs to be said in terms of the story, so why mess with it?
I don't see remakes as messing with it at all. Spike Lee has a much different directorial approach / way with a camera than Miike. All the main principal actors are also wildly different and I'd assume would bring something new / different to each role.
Is there a trailer somewhere that I'm missing?
Nah, that was just response to general "this year sucks".
In an interview he keeps calling it a "re-imagining," so on one hand he's kind of leaving the source alone and telling it how he wants to tell it, and on the other he's be taking the groundwork of this movie to turn it into something he wants to say. It could be good, who knows, there's not much to go on since he hasn't said much about the movie besides the cast. I'm just skeptical, I guess.

That's why duct tape was invented, friend.
Am I missing something? Oldboy was directed by Park Chan-wook.
WHOOPS.
I'd normally refrain, but because it's you Charlie...
...not all Asian directors look the same.
...I do not know how to feel about this. I mean, the original was a master-piece and I don't see how anyone could do it better. If it does come to fruition, I will probably not see it in theaters. Not because I think it will definitely be bad, but because I don't want to spoil the some-what creepy twist to the film.
Yeah... but I'd have to set my wife free eventually...
It's coming out this fall, it's a done deal. I think even done filming already. Starring Josh Brolin, Sharlito Copeley(sic)
Oh...well I'll just wait until the reviews come out then.
Saw the Carrie trailer before Evil Dead. was disappointed at how much it showed! I mean, I know what the big scenes are / what's coming, but I wanted to be a little surprised how they're filmed / shot

I was just thinking the same thing. Man, that trailer tells the WHOLE STORY! What about people who are younger and have never seen the original?
Ohhhhh.
So that's what The Hunger Games looks like when it's not filmed on the back of a rabid, seizuring dog!

Holy crap I want to see that.
I really don't care for this approach. The acting and dialogue sound hokey and the characters are advancing beyond where they would be at this point in the story (particularly Katniss's sister). This is the best of the books and is kind of the Empire Strikes Back of the Hunger Games trilogy. I don't think the director of this one gets that.
My feeling is skip it, but I know my wife is going to make me go with her, even though she's feeling apprehensive over that trailer as well.
I came here to post this, looks happily entertainingly awesome as hell and also has Jeff Bridges!
Eh, I don't know. Ordinarily, this would be right up my alley, but it's so derivative that I'm just not digging it.
Reminds me of Men in Black.
It is derivative, but it looks fun and I'd be willing to give it a chance.
