This Week In Trailers: Wind & Rain, The Lachrymist, Blue Ruin, The Great Chicken Wing Hunt, Awful Nice By Christopher Stipp/Jan. 25, 2014 9:00 am EST This is just good trailer making. What director Jeremy Saulnier ultimately is going for, I would imagine, is reflected well in this trailer. Whether or not it can sustain the level of curiosity I had when watching this as it pertains to the full length of the film is debatable but what isn’t up for discussion is how tight this trailer winds your mind....

Video Reaction: Warner Bros Premieres ‘Gravity’ And ‘Man Of Steel’ Trailers At CinemaCon By Peter Sciretta/April 16, 2013 4:59 pm EST Okay, so I know you’ve already seen the trailer for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Snyder was in Las Vegas at CinemaCon to premiere the trailer, which was exactly timed with when the video went online. The Warner Bros presentation this year was kind of underwhelming, it may have something to do with all the bad buzz they got last year with their preview of early 48fps Hobbit footage....
VOTD: All The Marvel Easter Eggs Through ‘Thor: The Dark World’ By Germain Lussier/Aug. 1, 2014 8:00 am EST Like all the other Marvel movies before it, this weekend’s Guardians of the Galaxy is jam-packed with Easter Eggs. An “easter egg” is a hidden visual or audio cue that doesn’t add to a story, and isn’t necessary to see on first watch, but adds to repeat viewings by winking to the fans....

Zack Snyder Denies ‘Star Wars’ Samurai Movie Report [Updated] By Germain Lussier/Jan. 14, 2013 2:30 pm EST UPDATE: As expected, Zack Snyder’s representatives told The Hollywood Reporter the following information is untrue.

‘Amazing Spider-Man 2’ Blu-Ray Set Puts Electro’s Head On Your Movie Shelf By Germain Lussier/April 28, 2014 4:00 pm EST We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. My fiancé originally balked when I told her I was pre-purchasing the Blu-ray sequel to a wholly unnecessary reboot of a 10 year-old film sight unseen, but when I carefully explained to her it came ensconced in the veiny blue noggin of one-time Oscar winner and rap impressario Jamie Foxx, she seemed to slowly come around to the idea… if her exaggerated eye-roll and exasperated, whole-body sigh was as ironic as I’m assuming it was....

Between Iron Man 3’s opening on Friday (May 3) and Arrested Development’s return on Saturday, I think I’ve got the first weekend of May planned out already. Sadly for our foreign friends, there’s no word yet on when the show will premiere in other territories....
‘Art Of The Steal’ Trailer: Kurt Russell Masterminds An ‘Ocean’s’-Style Heist By Angie Han/Dec. 18, 2013 9:15 am EST Kurt Russell’s been laying pretty low as of late, making just one movie in the past five years. But as his character says in the trailer for Jonathan Sobol’s The Art of the Steal, now he’s ready to go back to work.

‘Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes’ Posters Are All About The Apes; New Trailer Next Week By Angie Han/Dec. 11, 2013 9:42 am EST Dawn of the Planet of the Apes picks up where Rise of the Planet of the Apes left off, with the apes ascendant and the human race in decline.

‘Escape From Tomorrow:’ Exclusive Behind The Scenes Blu-Ray Clip By Germain Lussier/April 28, 2014 11:00 am EST One of the craziest movie stories of 2013 was Escape From Tomorrow. The film quietly premiered at the Sundance Film Festival and, overnight, became the talk of the industry.

‘Magic Mike XXL’ Won’t Feature Matthew McConaughey, Will Be Quite Different By Russ Fischer/Sept. 17, 2014 3:30 pm EST We were hopeful after Channing Tatum said the entire Magic Mike cast would return for Magic Mike XXL, but it’s time for a little letdown. Matthew McConaughey is otherwise occupied, and isn’t taking part in the sequel. Not merely for that reason, director Greg Jacobs, a long-time associate of Steven Soderbergh, says this sequel will be quite different, for reasons he only begins to explain....
