Trailer Watch: Japanese Space Pirate Captain Harlock trailer

Appleseed and Appleseed Ex Machina director Shinji Aramaki is back with a CG-animated adaptation of Space Pirate Captain Harlock. This third trailer (all in Japanese, so… hopefully you either speak it, or you’re familiar enough with the anime that you have some idea of what’s going on). I never did, and my Japanese is basically non-existent, so I’m totally lost… but it sure looks pretty.

The film is out in Japan this September, but no signs of an American release at this time. It’s all but guaranteed to make it here on video, eventually, though, so if you’re a fan, just hang in there.

If you really want to spoil it for yourself, there’s about twelve minutes of footage online here.

Trailer Watch: And another single-take trailer for Gravity…

Hot on the heels of “Detached,” which went online yesterday, comes “Drifting,” a second single-take trailer/clip for Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity. Apparently Warner Brothers has a third coming (most likely) tomorrow.

Trailer Watch: Two-minute clip/trailer from Alfonso Cuarón’s Gravity

Here’s another super intense trailer for Alfonso Cuarón’s Sandra-Bullock-is-in-deep-shit-in-near-orbit flick, Gravity, and this one is an almost two-minute-long single take. The whole film, which co-stars George Clooney, opens on October 4th.

Trailer Watch: Riddick red band Comic-Con trailer

Director David Twohy and Vin Diesel’s second attempt to turn the main character of the surprise hit sci-fi action flick Pitch Black into a franchise (after the failure of Chronicles of Riddick) is coming on September 6th. This red band trailer for Riddick premiered at Comic-Con and found its way onto the film’s official YouTube page earlier today.

It looks a little over the top to me compared with Pitch Black (my favorite Alien film since Jim Cameron’s sequel*) but still kind of fun.

The film co-stars Karl Urban, Battlestar Galactica’s Katee Sackhoff, Jordi Mollà, Nolan Gerard Funk, Keri Hilson, and Dave Batista.
