First Posters for 'The Expendables 2'

Hi peps, its been a long time but I'm back.  This time with a poster debut for the all-star action pic The Expendables 2. It showcases all the badasses you can expect to see in the movie Toy Story 3-style (thank God they didn’t go the New Year’s Eve route). It’s not a bad poster, and it’s effective in informing audiences that Chuck Norris will always look like Walker Texas Ranger no matter the hat.  

See the poster after the break:

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Music Video Features New Footage

So far all the footage we've seen for this summer's big bad blockbuster sequel Transformers: Dark of the Moon has been spectacular. The teaser trailer was a nice setup for the story, the theatrical trailer was full of plenty of pretty special effects and explosions, and the most recent trailer featured some cool new shots as well. Now Linkin Park has released a promo music video featuring their song Iridescent set over plenty of new footage from Michael Bay's fighting robot extravaganza. Essentially, this is just another trailer with the help of some music from the soundtrack to get everyone more excited. Check out the music video below!

A Few of the Best Cinematic Trailers from E3 2011

 

Still in the spirit of the video game convention E3 that closed yesterday in Los Angeles,  I decided to make a good selection of cinematic game trailers that would be the best to feature on a movie blog like this. So to compliment the trailers we featured earlier in the week, here's a few more cinematics from E3 2011 to check out.

Ubisoft has been making a lot of headlines lately when they revealed that they wish to pursue making their own films based on their AAA gaming titles.

First Image from Season Two of 'The Walking Dead'

 Well, it looks a lot like The Walking Dead, season one, but check out those eyes! The second season of The Walking Dead is shooting now in Georgia, and AMC has released the first still from the production. We don’t know if the budget cuts that Frank Darabont feared ended up coming to pass, but there is a short statement from the director/showrunner after the break, along with a larger version of the image.

Over 30 New High Resolution Images from 'Green Lantern' + Trailer

Every time I see new footage I get a bit more excited for this movie. It’s not that it’s the best looking Comic movie of the summer, it’s that the movie actually does seem like a “Green Lantern” movie.

Warner Bros. has released a slew of images and a trailer from their upcoming superhero flick Green Lantern. Some of the images are new, while a few of them we’ve seen before, but they all reflect finished visual-effects. Also included in the batch are a few official set images featuring director Martin Campbell.

E3 2011: New Trailers for TOMB RAIDER, SOUL CALIBUR V

E3 doesn’t technically start until Tuesday, but all the developers are trying to get a jump on each other which is funny because that means no one gets a jump on anybody.  I assume the plan is to get people excited with a trailer and then at E3 the developer will show some of the game and explain what players can do in it.  There will be presentations, there will be demos, and the only thing you’re not likely to see at E3 is Nintendo announcing an IP that isn’t based off a pre-existing property.

Trailers have gone online for a bunch of games, but I’m not going to turn this site into GameTrailers, so here are the trailers for the reboot of Tomb Raider (no gameplay shown, plenty of awful voiceover dialogue but the trailer looks gorgeus) and Soul Calibur V (cheesy story and voice acting, but the games have always been fun).

'Rise of the Planet of the Apes' Theatrical Trailer

20th Century Fox has just debuted an exciting and fairly intense new theatrical trailer on Yahoo for Rise of the Planet of the Apes, directed by Rupert Wyatt, starring James Franco as well as Andy Serkis doing motion-capture work as the chimpanzee Caesar. This trailer is most likely playing in theaters in front of Fox's X-Men: First Class this weekend.

At least I think so. Check this out!

'Transformers: Dark of the Moon' Featurette on the Skydivers

A badass new featurette has been debuted over on Badass Digest (via SlashFilm) today for Transformers: Dark of the Moon highlighting the skydivers that appear in the movie. We've seen them many times before, as they're in the trailers and have been mentioned by Michael Bay time and time again, the wingsuit guys who jump out of that helicopter. The video focuses on J.T. Holmes, one of the "precision skydivers" who worked on the film. It's awesome seeing these guys just jump off, and jump out, of pretty much anything. It's finally just a few more weeks left until we get to see Transformers: Dark of the Moon!

First Trailer for Jackie Chan Epic 1911

Jackie Chan’s next film, the historical epic 1911, is billed as his 100th feature. This appears to be mostly marketing math to capitalize on the centennial of the subject matter, “the founding of the Republic of China when nationalist forces led by Sun Yat-sen (Winston Chao) overthrew the Qing Dynasty.” The first trailer is online, and looks suitably heroic.

Chan co-directed the movie with cinematographer Zhang Li (Red Cliff). 1911 is set for a day-and-date release in the United States and China on October 11. Watch the trailer after the break.

As Bleeding Cool noted when writing about the trailer, Chan is credited as “general director” while Zhang receives the more traditional “director” credit. Since this is a war movie, I assume Chan was focused on advising the actors playing generals — Zhang took care of the rest.

Voldemort Poster for HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS – PART 2

We’ve seen Harry, Hermoine, Ron, and Neville posters for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2.  Now it’s time for He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named/Tom Riddle/Voldemort.  This is a good opportunity for me to mention that I think the franchise missed an opportunity to give Voldemort the red snake eyes that he has in the book.  Perhaps they felt Ralph Fiennes couldn’t be expressive enough without human eyes, perhaps it was too expensive, or maybe it just looked goofy when put on screen.  But I’ve always been curious to the what-if.  But he’s still missing his nose so that’s good enough, I suppose.

Hit the jump to check out a poster you’d never put on your wall.  Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 opens in 3D on July 15th.

Neville Longbottom Poster for HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS – PART 2

After yesterday’s posters for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2, I wagered that the next poster in the series would feature Voldemort.  I lost my bet!  The new poster features unlikely hero Neville Longbottom (Matthew Lewis).  Neville is the Harry Potter of the background.  Harry was heroic from day one, but Neville slowly grew into a hero and eventually became the leader of Dumbledore’s Army.  

Hit the jump to check out the poster. Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 opens in 3D on July 15th.

Very Cheesy First Trailer for David R. Ellis' 'Shark Night 3D'

The first trailer for Shark Night 3D has gone online.  It looks just as cheesy as you’d expect and it looks ultra-faithful to horror movie tropes in that the black guy clearly dies first.  Now the issue with a movie about sharks attacking hapless teens at a lake house is that the obvious solution is to simply not go back in the water after the first shark attack.  But it looks like the teens are being forced back in the lake (that’s right, someone transplanted sharks into a lake) as a Hostel-like torture game.  And now that we’ve sent torture porn underwater, hopefully we can shoot it into space.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  Shark Night 3D opens September 2nd.
