Trailer Watch: Spike Jonze’s Her

Monday, August 12th, 2013

My brother said it best on the Twitters: “if you told me yesterday I’d be excited to see a movie about a guy who falls in love with his phone I would have said you’re crazy”… And, seriously: that’s the premise: Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with Siri (more or less). But Her looks surprisingly engaging, even with that weird premise.

Being John Malkovich and Where the Wild Things Are director Spike Jonze wrote and directs Her, which comes out on November 20, 2013. Just shy of the major Oscarbait dumping grounds, but close enough that the distributor thinks it might be a contender for something.

Scarlett Johansson plays his phone, while Amy Adams and Rooney Mara round out the cast.

Trailer Watch: Thor: The Dark World trailer 2

Monday, August 12th, 2013

This is a couple of days old, but a second trailer for Thor: The Dark World is up, and while Natalie Portman is still out of place, but this looks a pretty solid step up from the first one.

I think Jane’s gonna bite it in this movie, though. What about you? (Her dying would have worked better if she were in The Avengers, which I’d bet was the original plan, until scheduling issues or whatever had them replace Port with Stellan Skarsgård. Just a guess, though.)

Trailer Watch: Muppets Most Wanted teaser

Tuesday, August 6th, 2013

A teaser for Muppets Most Wanted has made its way to the interwebs. Starring Ricky Gervais, Ty Burrell and Tina Fey opposite the usual gang of Muppets, the film. Not that you get any of that from this teaser.

The script is by Nicholas Stoller (who co-wrote The Muppets) and The Muppets director James Bobin (who returns as director, as well), but it feels pretty different from the last film, perhaps because Jason Segel isn’t involved this time, but perhaps just because they’re actually on the set of, y’know… a Muppet Show.

Anyway, it comes out in March, 2014.

Trailer Watch: Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Tuesday, July 30th, 2013

The trailer for Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was attached to The Wolverine last weekend, and I was pretty impressed by the tone of the film. A remake of the 1947 Danny Kaye film of the same name (based on a James Thurber short story), the film centers around a repressed dude (Stiller) with a big imagination, and blah blah. Character drama and special effects ensue.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty co-stars Kristen Wiig, Kathryn Hahn, Sean Penn, Adam Scott, Patton Oswalt, and Shirley MacLaine, and it opens on Christmas Day.
