The Intern Trailer: Using Humor to Tackle Ageism
Warner Bros. Pictures just released the second official trailer for The Intern by Oscar-nominated and award-winning writer/filmmaker Nancy Meyers. Meyers, the highest-grossing female director, with a body of work which includes hits like It’s Complicated, Something’s Gotta Give, and Private Benjamin, has that rare ability to use humor to subtly guide her audiences to confront their attitudes about vital societal issues. At 65,
Sizzling Venice Lineup Includes Black Mass, Everest & Beasts of No Nation
Between September 2nd and October 11th, four major film festivals take place, each with their share of major world premieres. Venice runs from September 2-12, Telluride from September 4-7, Toronto from September 10-20, and finally New York, from September 25 to October 11. It's sort of insane to think that in a little over a month this many major films, many of them likely to end up vying for Oscars, will be seen in such a glut.
Elders React to Batman v. Superman Trailer
Fine Brothers Entertainment is at it again. The folks who brought you the Kids React videos (check out their 'Kids react to 1st iPod' video here, for one example of their ingenious work) are now bringing you the reaction of some very funny older people to the latest Batman v. Superman trailer that debuted at Comic-Con this year.

Michael Bay’s Benghazi Movie 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi
Paramount released the first trailer for Michael Bay's 13 Hours: The Secret Soldiers of Benghazi, portraying the Sept. 2012 attack on the U.S. consulate in Libya. The trailer begins with swiftly cut images of the U.S. consulate, one familiar face (John Krasinski, playing Jack Silva, a former Navy SEAL who we'll assume is one of the secret soldiers of the film's title) and text that read, "In 2012, the threat level in Benghazi,
Behold the Full Length Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Trailer
The first full-length trailer for director Francis Lawrence’s The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 has been released after making its debut to much acclaim at San Diego Comic-Con, and whoa, are we ready for the march on the Capitol.

Need a Midweek Smile? Pixar’s The Good Dinosaur Trailer & This Song Will Help
Need a midweek boost? Check out Pixar’s smile inducing trailer for The Good Dinosaur. The stunning visuals of glittering stars (the kind in the sky) and tumbling rocks make us forget that this movie is in fact animated – it's got that Pixar quality of being almost photo-realistic and yet entirely dreamlike – it is the kind of world we wished we lived in, no boring desks and long lines for a Mochachino.
New Spectre Trailer, Images Reveals Bond’s Latest Mission
“Zero to sixty in 3.2 seconds, with a few little tricks up her sleeve,” says Q (Ben Whishaw), showing James his new car, a silver Aston Martin DB10. One of those tricks up “her” sleeve is a pair of flamethrowers in the rear exhaust pipes. We then cut to a thrilling race at night between James and his DB10 and the henchmen Mr. Hinx (Dave Bautista, Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy, whose size recalls Harold Sakata's Oddjob) in his Jaguar C-X75 and we're off.
Kristen Stewart & Jesse Eisenberg Kill it in New American Ultra Trailer
Jesse Eisenberg as a stoner? Sure, that’s easy enough to imagine. Jesse Eisenberg as a Jason Bourne-like secret government sleeper agent who was turned into the one of the most lethal humans alive, was relieved of the memory of his training, and then called back into action by a clandestine agent played by Connie Britton? We’re in. It's a major bonus that his love interest in American Ultra is played by Kristen Stewart,
Dissecting the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Comic-Con Trailer
Warner Bros. has only released a single photo from the set of Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, of a gloomy looking Supe’(Henry Cavill) standing alone in the rain. In previous teasers, we've seen this rainy moment, and it's an epic one—Superman takes flight, hovering above a seriously pissed Batman (Ben Affleck), who promises to make him bleed.
The trailer released at Comic-Con, however, is 3-plus minutes of juicy action,
“Welcome to NEVERLAND!” with the New Pan Trailer
The new trailer for Warner Bros.’s Pan tells a familiar and often told “story about a boy who would never grow up,” but does so with a whole new twist. This is not the story of the Peter Pan that we have all grown up with and cherished. Pan operates on the premise that to understand how the beloved story ends, we must explore its beginning – how “friends begin as enemies and enemies begin as friends.”
Katniss is Done Giving Speeches:The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 Trailer
“Ladies and gentleman welcome to the 76th Hunger Games.” We just got our first look at the new trailer for Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 2 and the word that comes to mind is payback. Of all the mega-jerks in the suite of dystopian films we've seen in the past few years, none are as sneeringly obnoxious as President Snow(Donald Sutherland).
The new trailer starts with an enormous, glamorous wedding filled with celebration,
How to Make a Killer Trailer: One of the Best Explains
As a international economics student at Middlebury College in Vermont, Nick Temple had no idea he'd wind up becoming one of Hollywood's top trailer cutters. But when a post-graduation cross-country trip with a couple of buddies brought him to Los Angeles in 2000, Temple needed a job so he started working as a runner at Burbank, California production house. There, he quickly became hooked on movie teasers. "There was something compelling for me about looking at footage and compressing it to tell a story,"
The New San Andreas Trailer Has Great Sound Design
Warner Bros. released a third trailer for their big screen action-thriller San Andreas, opening in 3D and 2D theaters on Friday, May 29. The basic storyline revealed in this 2:34 minute sneak peak is an orderly timeline of events which ends abruptly with a cataclysmic earthquake centered in the eponymous fault – then order and time are replaced by chaos and destruction.
The graphic scenes of destruction, first of Los Angeles and then of San Francisco,
Who Freaks You Out More: these Grandparents, these Aliens, or Johnny Depp?
Three new trailers with very different sources of extreme tension. So the question we pose to you today is this; who would you rather be trapped in a house with less, the grandparents from M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming The Visit, Johnny Depp’s Whitey Bulger from the upcoming Black Mass, or whatever the hell those things are in Area 51?
Let's take a look:
The Visit

From Spader to Scarlett: 5 Great Voice Performances in Sci-Fi Films
So we saw Avengers: Age of Ultron yesterday and in an effort not to disclose any spoilers, we’ll just say this; James Spader absolutely nails his voice work as the eponymous villain. Spader’s articulate, sonorous baritone is put to perfect use, and the sound design work done to enhance his voice and give it a digital sheen was outstanding. His Ultron is a witty, wired (literally), emotional artificial intelligence,

Which Dinosaur Would You Fear The Most in New Jurassic World Trailer?
First of all, who in their right mind would get into one of those transparent orbs and go rolling off into a huge herd of dinosaurs? Tourists, will they ever learn? Anyway, this new Jurassic World trailer gives you a bevy of dinosaurs to fear, and the morbid question that popped into our heads was; which way you rather go if you had to be eaten by a dinosaur at this completely insane theme park?
7 Questions After Watching the New Star Wars Trailer
Oh man, so that happened. Once the trailer was released at the Star Wars Celebration yesterday, a not insignificant portion of the global population went a little bit nuts. It appears what our country has needed, a way to achieve a sort of psychic release, was by giving people what they’ve always wanted—Chewie and Han Solo. Honestly, wow. For all the great little easter eggs in that trailer for Star Wars geeks, and even casual fans alike (you have to hand it to George Lucas and his production design team from the very jump—even all the years later,
Who’s Funnier, Iron Man or Ultron in this new Avengers: Age of Ultron Trailer?
Now that Avengers: Age of Ultron has had its world premiere at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles, there are likely going to be a few more clips like this released in the build up to the film’s wide release on May 1.
There’s been all sorts of interesting stories surrounding the premiere of Ultron. There was the piece in Vulture yesterday where Whedon once again discussed how exhausting making this film was,
New Ant-Man Trailer is Sort of Adorable
The new Ant-Man trailer has a few things going for it, and one of those is Evangeline Lilly. She was the underrated scene stealer and heartthrob that made Lost make sense even at the very end (when it sorta-kinda stopped making sense), and here she plays Paul Rudd’s ally and all around bad ass, Hope Van Dyne (that name!). And who isn't excited to see Rudd as a super-shrinking superhero, fighting bad guys while in miniature?
