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'll enjoy taking a gander!

The Haunting of Molly Hartley - Poster

This October will see the release of The Haunting of Molly Hartley. It tells the story of a girl in a private school on the eve of her 18th birthday as an evil reveals itself to her. The trailer actually looks kind of creepy. The final poster has been released, you can see it below. I actually prefer the teaser poster.

Transporter 3 - Trailer

The domestic trailer for Jason Statham's third go around as the Transporter has arrived, and it looks pretty good. Fast cars, big action — everything you need for an action flick. Statham has great presence as an action star. Olivier Megaton makes his first appearance as director of the new film, and I have to say, is that not a great name for an action director?

Fist of Legend - DVD Art, Stills

September 9 will see the release of the Dragon Dynasty Ultimate Edition release of Fist of Legend. I have never seen the original version of this film, only the cut and dubbed version released though Miramax a few years back. Even so, it is easy to see that this is a classic martial arts film. This Jet Li film features some of the best fights ever put to film. It also happens to be the same story told in the Bruce Lee classic Fists of Fury, and the cool thing is that both films stand on their own. The film was directed by Gordon Chan and features fight choreography by Yuen Woo Ping.

The DVD contains deleted scenes, commentary with Bey Logan, interviews with Chan and a few cast members, plus more. Sounds good to me!

Fast & Furious - Stills

With the trailer making the rounds, teasing audiences, now some stills have arrived to further whet the appetite. Well, if this is your thing. I enjoy the films, but they are far from great. I did like the opening stunt of the trailer, though. Take a look at the new stills below.
