Angels & Demons Super Bowl Spot

A new television advertisement for Ron Howard’s big screen Da Vinci Code prequel adaptation Angels & Demons aired during the Super Bowl. The film still looks like nothing special. I really want this movie to be good, as I personally loved the book. But it’s becoming more and more clear that the heavy informational bits won’t translate well to the big screen. Some books just shouldn’t be adapted into films. Check out the tv spot after the jump thanks to TrailerAddict. Leave your thoughts in the comments below.

The team behind the global phenomenon The Da Vinci Code returns for the highly anticipated Angels & Demons, based upon the bestselling novel by Dan Brown. Tom Hanks reprises his role as Harvard religious expert Robert Langdon, who once again finds that forces with ancient roots are willing to stop at nothing, even murder, to advance their goals. Ron Howard again directs the film, which is produced by Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, and John Calley. The screenplay is by David Koepp and Akiva Goldsman.

When Langdon discovers evidence of the resurgence of an ancient secret brotherhood known as the Illuminati - the most powerful underground organization in history - he also faces a deadly threat to the existence of the secret organization’s most despised enemy: the Catholic Church. When Langdon learns that the clock is ticking on an unstoppable Illuminati time bomb, he jets to Rome, where he joins forces with Vittoria Vetra, a beautiful and enigmatic Italian scientist. Embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs, deserted cathedrals, and even to the heart of the most secretive vault on earth, Langdon and Vetra will follow a 400-year-old trail of ancient symbols that mark the Vatican’s only hope for survival.

Angels and Demons hits theaters on May 15th 2009.

Fast and Furious Super Bowl TV Spot

Given we've already seen two full trailers, there's not much new footage we're going to see in this Fast & Furious Super Bowl TV spot. Plus they're still using the film's biggest selling points - women, cars, and Vin Diesel / Paul Walker. So that you can get this one out of the way, we've also got the new TV spot for Fast & Furious early. There's not much more to say, so fire this one up if you're excited to check it out. Despite my own lack of interest in this TV spot, I'm still going to see Fast & Furious once it hits theaters.

Fast & Furious is directed by up-and-coming Taiwanese filmmaker Justin Lin, of Better Luck Tomorrow, Annapolis, and of course, The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift. The screenplay was written by Chris Morgan, of Cellular, Tokyo Drift, and Wanted. Fast and Furious races into theaters on April 3rd.

New Footage from LAND OF THE LOST and Pixar’s UP

With the Superbowl always getting massive ratings and people tuning in to see what commercials get aired, the movie studio are going full force this year and promoting a lot of their upcoming films during the game. And in an effort to get extra exposure for their ridiculously expensive TV spots, they’ve released a lot of clips a day. We've included 2 bellow and as you might expect, Pixar's "Up" looks the best. It’s almost not fair to put anything against a Pixar movie.

LAND OF THE LOST

Will Ferrell stars as has-been scientist Dr. Rick Marshall, sucked into one and spat back through time. Way back. Now, Marshall has no weapons, few skills and questionable smarts to survive in an alternate universe full of marauding dinosaurs and fantastic creatures from beyond our world - a place of spectacular sights and super-scaled comedy known as the Land of the Lost.

Sucked alongside him for the adventure are crack-smart research assistant Holly (Anna Friel) and a redneck survivalist (Danny McBride) named Will. Chased by T-Rex and stalked by painfully slow reptiles known as Sleestaks, Marshall, Will and Holly must rely on their only ally - a primate called Chaka (Jorma Taccone) to navigate out of the hybrid dimension. Escape from this routine expedition gone awry and theyre heroes. Get stuck, and they'll be permanent refugees in the Land of the Lost. In theaters June 5, 2009.
