Movie Media: Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, What Just Happened, Fast & Furious, Hounddog, Appaloosa, Australia
Published August 29, 2008
Welcome back to the Movie Media column, featuring trailers, posters, and clips for upcoming films. Some are nice and fresh and some aren't. However, they all have something in common: for better or worse, they all caught my attention. If there is a poster or trailer you think I should check out, be sure to let me know.
This week's movie goodies include posters, trailers, and stills for some feature films and even a couple of behind-the-scenes clips! Hopefully, you enjoy taking a gander!
Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince - Revised Trailer
Sad news for Potter fans came last week when it was announced that the sixth film had been delayed from November 2008 to Summer 2009. I can only assume it was done to help fill blockbuster holes left by the writers' strike. Anyway, they have issued a new trailer to reflect the date change.
What Just Happened - Trailer
Barry Levinson's next film looks like it could be fun; if nothing else it certainly has an accomplished cast. It stars Robert DeNiro as a Hollywood agent going through a life crisis that involves his dissolving marriage and his skills at getting work deals done. The trailer looks good, and the cast includes, in addition to DeNiro, Sean Penn, Bruce Willis, John Turturro, Catherine Keener, Stanley Tucci, and Robin Wright Penn.
Fast & Furious - Teaser Trailer
Never did I think that this franchise would hit a fourth entry. They have been fun, no doubt, but hardly what I would call good. This third sequel features the two stars of the original reuniting, Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. The duo are back, working together to beat the bad guys. As for the teaser? I have to say that I really liked it, especially the lead-in stunt.
Hounddog - Poster, Trailer

My pleasure, tink!
I am not the biggest proponent of the FnF films, but they are fun distractions, I really like the opening of this trailer.
Australia looks very promising, I am looking forward to that one.

Well now Chris...that's some mighty tasty viewings to go along with my afernoon coffee.
Stopped by to see the updated Harry Potter trailer and ended up watching all of them, included FnF (not a fan of that franchise).
The only movies I've seen in a theater over the last few years have been the Harry Potters. This trailer for Luhrman's Australia had the hub and I deciding that we'll be making an exception that.
Thanks for the heads up...
