The 2011 Sundance Film Festival is shaping up quite nicely. The films in competition, and out of competition, have already been announced and each has some incredibly exciting entries. Monday brought the announcement of the 81 short films, chosen out of 6,467 entries, that will play in Park City, Utah this January. And while the majority of them are by currently unknown filmmakers, there are a few that jump out featuring names like Elijah Wood, Danny McBride, Seth Rogen, Will Ferrell, John C. Reilly and Jack Black. Actually, those guys are all in the same short (lol). 

After the jump, we’ll highlight those films and show you the full list.

Another Despicable Me trailer

I’ve lost track of how many trailers have been released for this movie.Universal Pictures have released a new trailer for DESPICABLE ME.

You can see from the marketing the little yellow guys are probably one if not most entertaining part of the movie, there in virtually everything that comes out for this movie(printed and on screen). Today in America Toy Story 3 came out in the cinemas and stateside this movie will be out a few weeks later on July 9th, so with the distraction of Toy Story 3 Universal want to keep the moviegoers to remember about there animation.

First Trailer for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans

Here it is - the first trailer for Underworld: Rise of the Lycans starring Rhona Mitra, Michael Sheen, and Bill Nighy for a third time. For this sequel they've gone back in time, to tell the origin of the centuries-old feud between the the race of aristocratic vampires known as Death Dealers, and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. This looks like the most common and un-entertaining cinematic story I've seen in a while, reminiscent of the Alien vs Predator movies (yes, both of them).

International Tropic Thunder trailer

An international trailer for Ben Stiller's Tropic Thunder has come online at the official UK site!

Don't forget to check out the official website for even more laughs: tropicthunder.com.

Tropic Thunder is directed by Ben Stiller (Zoolander) and written by Etan Cohen ("King of the Hill", Idiocracy) and well-known actor Justin Theroux (who also stars in the film). The movie stars Ben Stiller, Jack Black, Robert Downey Jr., Brandon T. Jackson, Jay Baruchel, and Steve Coogan. Tropic Thunder arrives in theaters everywhere on August 15th this summer.

There's not much else to say about this one -- watch it for yourself and tell me it doesn't look out of control. Stiller worries me sometimes because he could be a little too "stupid," but with Downey Jr., Steve Coogan, Nick Nolte, Bill Hader, Justin Theroux, Jay Baruchel and Jack Black in there, I think we'll be okay.
