Trailer Trash Tuesday

This has been a slow week for new and interesting trailers, so instead I’m going to use two posters and an image from upcoming films.  However, with Harry Potter’s release on Friday, expect some teasers for huge blockbusters next week.



After seeing this poster yesterday, I couldn’t resist overanalyzing it.  I immediately noticed the view from the ground as an interesting contrat to what we saw in an early Dark Knight  poster.  What does this mean? Maybe Batman’s attempts to save Gotham are derailed because he is physically hurt (stuck on the ground), meanwhile the city is falling apart.  At no point in the first two films has Batman suffered anything more than superficial injuries, so it seems like a logical place to go.  Especially with a roided up Bane as the villain.  Then again, the new perspective could mean absolutely nothing.

On a related note, The first hit I got when googling “The Dark Knight Rises poster” is an article from MTV which, among other things, says that the Dark Knight Rises is not, “some Inception knock-off.”  Well-done MTV, that’s like saying, “Steven Spielberg’s upcoming biopic of Abraham Lincoln will not be a knock-off of ET.”

Look for The Dark Knight Rises teaser trailer this Friday with The Deathly Hallows Part 2.  However, filming is less than halfway done so don’t expect anything epic, just some dialogue and maybe a few images to get people excited.





That image is from the upcoming Disney film, John Carter.  You may be thinking to yourself, “John Carter? That could be about anything.”  And you’d be right, because it’s about an American Civil War veteran who is transported to Mars where he becomes involved in a Martian conflict. 

The above image made me think of a reverse Cowboys and Aliens, instead of implanting aliens into a world of cowboys, you implant a cowboy into a world of aliens.  Still, with few details available it’s difficult to discern what exactly the film will be like.

John Carter movie poster
John Carter stars Taylor Kitsch, Lynn Collins (X-Men Origins cast reunion), and Willem Dafoe.  Interestingly, it will be directed by Andrew Stanton, who has been involved in every Pixar film to date (except for Cars 2)and directed both Finding Nemo and Wall-E, I’m interested to see how his skills translate to live-action.  Look for John Carter on March 9th, 2012.


Putting 3D glasses on Darth Maul is more character development than he got in the entire movie
When Lucasfilm announced that all the Star Wars films will be rereleased in 3D, no one would have cared if they simply pretended like the Phantom Menace never happened.  Actually, I don’t think anyone would have cared if they pretended like the entire prequel trilogy never happened (a positive argument could be made for Revenge of the Sith).

Is it possible for Jar Jar Binks to be even more annoying in 3D? I doubt it, but the world will find out on February 10th, 2012.
