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, stills, and trailers for a few upcoming summer hits, a big action film for the fall, a couple of DVD releases, an upcoming horror flick, and more!
Hamlet 2 - Stills
Hamlet 2 is coming this summer, and it looks pretty darn funny. Steve Coogan stars as a high school theater teacher who must write an original show to save the program. He comes up with a sequel to the great Shakespeare play, only a little more irreverent in nature. Below are some new stills for the film.
Hellboy II: The Golden Army - Poster
The latest poster for this sequel is cool and lame at the same time. I cannot quite put my finger on it, but it screams "Hollywood!" and "Badass!" at the same time.
Mirrors - Poster, Trailer
Not sure what I think about this one yet. The trailer has a couple of creepy moments and the poster is a bit off, but it also looks like another PG-13 pseudo-horror based around jump scares. However, it is directed by Alexandre Aja and he was involved with High Tension, The Hills Have Eyes, and P2, so that helps and offers a little bit of hope. Kiefer Sutherland is also the star, so it will be interesting to see Jack Bauer in a haunted house.
Quantum of Solace - Trailer
The trailer for the new James Bond film, Quantum of Solace, is here. This movie looks like it has the chance of matching the fantastic Casino Royale and we should only be so lucky. Daniel Craig looks to be kicking ass and taking names. I can't wait until November!
Blood Car - Poster, Trailer
In the future, as a reaction to escalating gas prices, a guy invents an engine that runs on blood. The title is pretty self-explanatory. The movie looks absolutely stupid. Still, I want to see it. One interesting note is that it stars Anna Chlumsky who first garnered notice in My Girl.
The Rocker - Poster, Trailer
If the poster doesn't at least slightly disturb you, you better check for a pulse. A few years ago, this is the kind of movie you would find Will Ferrell in; now we get Rainn Wilson who appears to be a suitable replacement. Wilson plays an aging drummer who was once in the world's hottest band and is now filling in for a high school band, which makes him a YouTube sensation. Looks stupid funny to me. And that is not necessarily a bad thing.
