Trailer Watch: The Adventures of Tintin trailer #2 (updated with Spielberg & Jackson)

A new, more in-depth trailer for Steven Spielberg’s motion capture Hergé adaptation, The Adventures of Tintin has hit the webs, and while the first two trailers looked pretty good, now I’m sold on it. I’m still not crazy about the character designs, but the fluidity of the movement is terrific, and the performances and the story all feel true to the books — as well as a whole lot of fun.

Check it out in HD over at Apple, or with the YouTube embed below:

The film opens in the UK this weekend, but won’t hit the US until December 21st (a whole two days earlier than the last time I checked). Let us know how it is, mates!

UPDATE (10/19): THR has kindly provided a short interview with director Steven Spielberg and producer Peter Jackson about their involvement with the Tintin film, and it sports a few seconds of footage not seen in this new trailer. Good stuff, all around.

Trailer Watch: The Avengers teaser trailer

This is a few days old, of course, but since I’d spaced on posting it here and Alexander Gajic reminded me, so…

I’m very, very excited about this movie, naturally, but other than the Hulk, I didn’t see much in this to get me more excited about it than I already was. They have to save something for the full trailer, of course. (And hopefully for the movie, too.)

Written and directed by Joss Whedon (you know who he is), The Avengers hits theaters on May 4, 2012 in the US.

Trailer Watch: Tom Hardy vs. Chris Pine in This Means War

Chris Pine co-stars as his best friend and convoluted rival for Reese Witherspoon’s affections in McG’s latest, This Means War.

The spy action-comedy looks kind of like Mr. and Mr. Smith, except funnier… or maybe I’ll watch anything with Tom Hardy at this point. Hell if I know. Anyway, it comes out on February 17, 2012.

Trailer Watch: Absolutely brutal red band trailer for The Raid

Courtesy the MTV Movies Blog, here’s an impressively action-packed, very red band trailer for Welsh director Gareth Huw Evans’ The Raid, starring “Indonesian martial arts sensation” Iko Uwais, Doni Alamsyah, Joe Taslim, Yayan Ruhian and Ray Sahetapy.

Here’s the official synopsis (via Coming Soon):

Deep in the heart of Jakarta’s slums lies an impenetrable safe house for the world’s most dangerous killers and gangsters. Until now, the run-down apartment block has been considered untouchable to even the bravest of police. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building’s lights are cut and all the exits blocked. Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city’s worst to survive their mission.

This is maaaaybe not safe for work, because of its awesomeness, so keep that in mind.

The film debuted at the Toronto International Film Festival on Thursday and unfortunately doesn’t have a release date yet anywhere outside of Indonesia (where it’s out in January), but Sony does have the US distribution rights. Also, if your interest has been piqued, check out the trailer for Evans and Uwais’ previous film, Merantau, over at YouTube.
