Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter trailer gore filled trailer

Fri, 25 May 2012 18:09:35 +0000

A new trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter has appeared online and it looks rather dramatic, filled with loads of CG and it flies by extremely fast and I had to watch it twice. It's good though, it does looks great. I like the fact that we're finally getting some story for it as well. Oh yes, and it's a little gory, even if it is the comic blood of fantasy creatures....Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

Richard Burton cast in Liz & Dick

Fri, 25 May 2012 18:05:19 +0000

I think this may be the second last story I write about the Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor film for numerous reasons but the main one being is that it's just not shaping up to be a good film. It's a television film for the American company Lifetime and it's called Liz & Dick, if that wasn't enough for you it's starring the self-destroyed Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor with some attempt being made at comparisons of talent. However I can see me writing about a trailer, if one arrives, and I'm definitely writing about who has been cast as...Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

The Apparition trailer looks rather scary

Thu, 24 May 2012 22:00:24 +0000

What drew me to watch The Apparition trailer originally was the fact that I saw Tom Felton's name and wondered what he was up to after he'd left Harry behind, and much like Harry himself he's decided to head to horror and it looks a rather good choice judging from the trailer. The film has an interesting concept that borrows some plot and visual cues from a few other horror films you might recognise, there is definitely an Asian horror influence in here but then that's no bad thing if it manages to deliver something new, and I think it...Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Need for Speed looks to directors

Thu, 24 May 2012 21:59:34 +0000

Fast and Furious seems to have cornered the car film genre rather well and lately it's grown up to become something more and offer an unexpected longevity to the franchise, so is there any need for another one? Would an adaptation of the videogame Need for Speed offer anything new and break new ground? There have been rumours about a Need for Speed film for a while and a new rumour today suggests that an offer to direct the film has been made to a director who has made his name for realistic action. Does this offer a hint to...Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

Shadow of the Colossus film gains director

Thu, 24 May 2012 20:56:39 +0000

If you like classy videogames then I'm sure you've played Shadow of the Colossus, a bestselling videogame that has captured many people's imaginations including that of Sony Pictures who are going to make a big screen version of the film. Now there's word of who they have chosen as the director to take that film forward and it's one that they've favoured with another big film they're working on, Venom, and he has another superhero project from the superhero studio Marvel, the Fantastic Four reboot....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

New Transit trailer works?

Thu, 24 May 2012 20:54:56 +0000

There's a new trailer arrived for the film Transit starring Jim Caviezel, James Frain, Elisabeth Rohm, Harold Perrineau, Diora Baird and Sterling Knight from writer Michael Gilvary and director Antonio Negret. While the first trailer didn't really impress me that much this second trailer builds the story, action and tension well and has a nice audio track over the top. This trailer could have me thinking that it's a film to go and watch....Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

McAvoy joins double disappearance films

Wed, 23 May 2012 10:17:35 +0000

James McAvoy has just joined Jessica Chastain in a film production that is not only rather unique and stands out from the crowd but that also sounds like it might be a fascinating story. They're set to star in a film called The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby, or rather in two films called The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: His and The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby: Hers, for through two films the story of The Disappearance of Eleanor Rigby will be told from the two different perspectives of the male and female lead....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Everett leads Wilde film

Wed, 23 May 2012 10:17:10 +0000

Rupert Everett is set to write, direct and lead his biographical film about the great writer Oscar Wilde entitled The Happy Prince. The film is something he's talked about for some time, and way back in October 2006 he was talking about his desire to make the film. Finally it looks like he's received his wish and has gained a great cast to back him up....Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

The Great Gatsby trailer arrives

Wed, 23 May 2012 10:16:18 +0000

Lavish and exciting, that's how I'd describe the trailer for Baz Luhrmann's version of the F. Scott Fitzgerald novel The Great Gatsby, that and well cast as it carries Leonardo DiCaprio in the leading role alongside Carey Mulligan with Tobey Maguire, Joel Edgerton, Isla Fisher and Amitabh Bachchan. The trailer is what you'd expect from Luhrmann and looks fantastic, there are moments of intensity and passion and every shot looks fantastic, some of them look hand crafted for the screen....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Magnificent Seven remake gains Cruise?

Tue, 22 May 2012 20:19:31 +0000

More news of remakes and whenever I express my surprise that the remakes have edged closer and closer to the seemingly untouchable classics along comes another story about a remake that blows all that out of the water, and here we go again with news of a remake of The Magnificent Seven and from the undisputed remake champion, MGM. Now I know a lot of you will be turning off at this point not believing this rubbish and wondering why they're bothering but hold on a minute, let's think about the first name mentioned with the project and where this...Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Skyfall trailer arrives

Tue, 22 May 2012 20:14:48 +0000

Well there's been a lot of excitement about it but it hasn't hit as hard as I had hoped with the first teaser trailer for the new Bond film Skyfall. I do like the style, some of the shots do give rise to questions about what this could all be about, and it does have some great Bond-esque moments in it, but I think I really need to see a full trailer to be drawn into Skyfall....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Ian Fleming biographical film gains director

Tue, 22 May 2012 20:13:12 +0000

Nicely tied in with the release of the new trailer for the next Bond film, Skyfall, comes the news that a much talked about biographical film of Sir Ian Fleming is going to finally make it to the big screen. It has a director and a leading star, a great actor in fact, and it looks like it's all about to go ahead. I must admit though the director's choice did surprise me a little....Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

The Master trailer arrives

Tue, 22 May 2012 20:10:00 +0000

Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master finally has a trailer, although it feels more like a teaser or rather it feels more like a clip from the film. Surprisingly for the content this teaser trailer seems very far from what we thought it might be. The film is about a man who begins a religious organisation and picks a young drifter to become his right-hand man. However as time passes the man begins to become disillusioned with the organisation and begins to question both it and the man behind it....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.

Haneke's Love (Amour) International trailer

Tue, 22 May 2012 20:05:03 +0000

Well. It's Michael Haneke and the reviews and comments coming about the film are strong, but the trailer is another one that doesn't sell the film well enough for me. There's not much plot to go with the film, but there is a strong cast. I wonder if the film will deliver with the expectation that Haneke's name will raise for it....Visit Filmstalker for the full story. Restricted feeds to protect content.

O'Dowd in The Sapphires trailer

Tue, 22 May 2012 20:00:43 +0000

I had heard nothing about The Sapphires film until now but it does show that Chris O'Dowd is breaking away from where you thought his career was headed some time ago, a British television comedy star. There's nothing wrong with that but he's stepping forward to become something of a film comedian, and perhaps a major star if he keeps this up....Visit Filmstalker for the full story.
