Welcome to the latest edition of Movie Media, where you will find trailers, posters, and stills for upcoming films. Some are nice and fresh, some aren't, you will have to look and make up your own mind. 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 a poster for a new zombie movie, another cartoon adaptation, a period piece, another sci-fi remake, and more.
Poster: Dead Air
Never heard of this movie until I saw the poster, now I cannot wait to see it. It is the story of a radio DJ trying to warn listeners after an explosion releases a viral gas turning everyone into zombies. Howe cool is that? It is being directed by actor turned director Corbin Bernsen, and is set for release winter of this year. It stars Bill Moseley, who had a great turn as Otis in The Devil's Rejects, and yes, that is him featured on the poster. Granted, the poster looks a little dull, but the plot synopsis has me hooked.
Plus, check out the official Dead Air site for some storyboards and a longer synopsis.
Poster, Stills, Trailer, Clips: Hot Rod
There is a ton of stuff floating around for the upcoming Hot Rod release on August 3. I'm not so sure that it's a good thing, because none of it seems all that funny, at least to me. It stars Andy Samberg, of Saturday Night Live fame. He stars as Rod Kimble, an amateur stuntman who has issues with his stepfather. As the story plays out, Kimble has to put on the biggest jump ever to raise money for an operation for his stepfather. So far, the best thing I have seen in relation to the movie is co-star Isla Fisher, though I am not sure it will be enough to get me in a theater for it. Anyway, here are the poster, some stills, trailer, and some YouTube clips promoting the picture:

Trailer: The Bourne Ultimatum
No sooner did I see the poster for the third Bourne film that the teaser trailer has arrived. I cannot wait for this. The first two films are excellent action/thrillers with Matt Damon emerging as an action star with strong acting ability, and both films rely heavily on practical effects rather than CG. It looks as if The Bourne Ultimatum will not be any different. The teaser doesn't have a lot of footage in, but it is enough to get me excited. See for yourself:

Poster, Stills, Trailer: Goya's Ghosts
Milos Forman's latest film is preparing to arrive on theater screens on July 20. Goya's Ghosts will be Forman's first film since 1999's Man on the Moon starring Jim Carrey. This time Forman has turned his eye on Spanish artist Francisco Goya. The film is set during the end of the Spanish Inquisition and the dawn of Napoleon's invasion, while focusing on the controversial work of Goya, and Brother Lomenzo, a man who becomes infatuated with Ines, a subject of Goya's work who is accused of heresy. The trailer looks good, and the cast includes Javier Bardem, Natalie Portman, Stellan Skarsgard, and Randy Quaid. Below are the poster, some stills, and the trailer:
