Here’s a new trailer for MTV’s Jersey Shore, and I’ve gotta admit, this thing is teetering right on the edge of potential DVR Season Pass, if only for its refreshing super-literal descriptions of Jersey douchebags — “Eeeyyy, I’m workin’ on mah muscles here, I am a Guido!” … “I am a girl and I know I’m hot and also I party wooooo!!!!” Repeat x 1000 = show.
Also, you can hate on that one guy all you want to, but what can you possibly say to someone who looks like Rambo pretty much with his shirt off? Check and mate:
Here’s the trailer for Remember Me, the new Robert Pattinson movie that replaces dueling vampires and werewolves with dueling Pierce Brosnan and Chris Cooper, the only thing that tweens enjoy even more.
It’s gonna take a few movies before I see Robbie Patz (my nickname for him that I use to save time) in a trailer without expecting to see CGI’d werewolves jumping out to confront him, so I’ll just pretend that Chris Cooper is a werewolf. Which he was in American Beauty, actually — most people didn’t pick up on that. Watch the deleted scenes.
Here’s the trailer for Invictus, another one of Clint Eastwood’s intentionally underpublicized Oscar-contender films, starring Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela during the seminal 1995 Rugby World Cup in Johannesburg.
The true story itself is already amazing, and Eastwood’s about as reliable a director as there is, so I’m gonna assume this film will fly above the standard inspiring sports movie. I just wonder if Morgan Freeman will finally have the opportunity to do some narration in a film:
BWE.tv alums Sara Schaefer and Cory Cavin put together the following intense, gripping trailer for the intense, gripping trailer for the movie Paranormal Activity.
Seriously, if you see ONE TRAILER this fall, make it this one. The trailer that this trailer is for, I mean. But also this trailer, about it. Alright, that’s confusing. Just remember, it’s scary. Also remember, trailers.
The trailer for the new Michael Jackson concert film This Is It has hit the webz (new term for the internet everyone’s using), which appears to be more of a behind-the-scenes, intimate documentary about MJ’s concert preparations than a straight-up standard concert film. The movie comes out October 28th, once the producers have finished cutting out quotes from people saying how frickin’ crazy Jackson is so that they don’t look like A-holes now.
It looks alright, but I’m not totally sure I wouldn’t prefer theaters to just re-release Captain EO.
The trailer for the new Gossip Girl season is on the etherwebs, and if you thought those OMFG ads were pushing the envelope, wait’ll you see this use of an abbreviation that usually stands for the F-word!
Just kidding!!! It stands for “Fall.” Not f*ckc*nt.
It’s hard not to laugh at anything John C. Reilly says these days, even if that thing is “Wanna become a vampire?”, but after Walk Hard and the Steve Brule videos, anything Reilly is in becomes a comedy, intentional or not.
I’m guessing Cirque du Freak was originally pitched as a regular John C. Reilly comedy, then the studio demanded they just toss in some vampires at the last second. “Also, work the Twitter in there somehow!”
When a trailer starts out with “It was a normal, ordinary, predictable life,” usually the life then becomes not normal, ordinary, and predictable. That is a thing that I have noticed!
I feel like there’s been an odd amount of backlash against Ricky Gervais in the past couple years, with a portion of the British press and a surprising number of my comedy-nerd friends acting vaguely sick of him, which continues to baffle me; The Office, Extras, and the Gervais Podcast remain three of the best things ever to exist, period, and no amount of Gervais-ubiquity could derail my enthusiasm for any of his future projects.
My point: A one-minute video of Gervais and Stephen Merchant ripping on Ralph Fiennes is enough to sell me on their upcoming movie, Cemetery Junction:
You haven’t truly experienced thug life in Los Angeles until you’ve seen a movie performed entirely in rap, in which every single citizen in the greater Los Angeles area gets shot and killed in the trailer (Spoiler-Alert Alert!)
Move over, Trapped In The Closet Parts One Through Awesome, cause here comes the raptacular A Day In The Life, Michael Rapaport’s Supporting-Actor-Oscar baby (NSFW for language, quarter of earth getting shot):
