Welcome to the latest edition of Movie Media, where you will find trailers, posters, and stills from upcoming films. Some are nice and fresh, some aren't. If there is a poster or trailer you think I should check out, be sure to let me know, and I will see what I can do. This week brings trailers and posters for a couple of movies going into wide (or at least wider) release this weekend, a new urban thriller, a new sword and sandal epic, and a horror film coming this Halloween.

Sunshine: Trailer

The more that I see of this movie, the more I am looking forward to it. Danny Boyle hasn't failed yet, from his Brit-gangster flick Trainspotting, to his revisionist zombie movie 28 Days Later, to his family film Millions. This time he takes on the science fiction genre. The story follows a space mission to restart the sun, which is dying, and the world is frozen in an ice age. Of course, things do not go as planned, and the mission begins to fall apart. I sense a bit of Event Horizon, although I doubt this will have the horror element, but the feeling is there. The trailer is quite impressive, as are the other clips that have come out. Boyle has a strong cast that includes Cillian Murphy (28 Days Later, Batman Begins), Michelle Yeoh (Memoirs of a Geisha), Chris Evans (Fantastic Four), Hiroyuki Sanada (The Twilight Samurai), and Rose Byrne (28 Weeks Later, Marie Antoinette). It is open in limited release, hopefully will go wider soon.

An extended trailer has appeared over at the Quicktime site that gives a better idea of the story.

In a bit of an unorthodox approach, they have put together a sequence featuring deaths of crew members aboard the Icarus 2. Not sure that I agree with this particular marketing point, but I know some people like to see it. View, if you dare:

Here is one of the earlier trailers:

No Country For Old Men: Poster, Trailer

The latest Coen Brothers flick now has a poster to go along with the trailer. The story, set in Texas, has a hunter stumble across a couple of dead bodies and a whole load of cash. However, someone is out looking to retrieve that cash, and he is not a very nice guy. The trailer looks quite good. It stars Javier Bardem, Josh Brolin, and Tommy Lee Jones.

Illegal Tender: Poster, Trailer

The story feels familiar, but the trailer has an undeniable energy to it. It is the story of a young man whose father was a gangster, murdered before he was born. Now the father's past is coming back to haunt them in the present, and the boy needs to step up and defend his family. The poster looks pretty good too. Rick Gonzalez stars, I like this guy, of course I only remember him from Boston Public, but still. John Singleton produces the film from writer/director Franc Reyes.
