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.

Trailer Watch: Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 full trailer

Wednesday, July 3rd, 2013

A full trailer for the sequel to Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s awesomely unfaithful adaptation of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs is online. Cody Cameron and Kris Pearn take over as directors, working from a script by John Francis Daley (yes, Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks) and Jonathan M. Goldstein (The Incredible Burt Wonderstone, Horrible Bosses).

The unimaginatively titled Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs 2 doesn’t quite have the same zing that Miller and Lord brought to the first Cloudy, or Clone High, or even 21 Jump Street — but I’ll take it.

Bill Hader, Anna Faris, James Caan, Andy Samberg, Neil Patrick Harris, Benjamin Bratt, Terry Crews (taking over for Mr. T), Will Forte, and Kristen Schaal provide the voices for the September 27, 2013, release.

Trailer Watch: “First look” at Disney’s Frozen

Wednesday, June 19th, 2013

A “first look” trailer for Chris Buck and Jennifer Lee’s Frozen is online. While the 53rd Disney animated feature is loosely based on Hans Christian Andersen’s The Snow Queen, this has no discernable connection to the tale, playing a bit like a Scrat short about a snowman (which, in turn, played sort of like a Looney Tunes cartoon).

Still, it’s fun, and the animation is lovely. The full film stars Kristen Bell as “Anna,” the lead, and Idina Menzel as the Snow Queen. It hits theaters this Thanksgiving (or that weekend, anyway), on November 27, 2013.

Trailer Watch: Chris Miller and Phil Lord’s The Lego Movie

Tuesday, June 18th, 2013

From the directors of Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street, and Clone High comes… The Lego Movie.

Chris Pratt plays Emmet, an ordinary dude mistakenly chosen to go on an epic adventure to stop President Business (Will Ferrell) from taking over the world, or something like that. Liam Neeson plays President Business’s henchman Bad Cop, who’s hot on his trail. Hey, and Superman is in it.

The Lego Movie also stars the voices of Morgan Freeman (which you already know if you saw the trailer), Alison Brie, Elizabeth Banks, Nick Offerman, and Will Arnett.
