We've got two upcoming movie trailers to show you, and boy do they look cool. The first, Skyline, comes from the minds of Joshua Cordes and Liam O'Donnell. Cordes is partially responsible for the effects and animation for films like Iron Man 2, Avatar and 2012 , while O'Donnell did work on AVPR: Aliens vs Predator - Requiem. This means one thing: the digital effects are going to look fucking awesome. The flick is directed by Greg and Colin Strause, guys who worked on Iron Man 2, Jonah Hex, and Avatar. The film, which has a November 12 release date, stars Eric Balfour and Scottie Thompson. It has a War of the Worlds feel to it- alien invasion, everyone running type of deal. Click here for the trailer!The second trailer is for Devil, the latest from writer/director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Signs) and directors Drew and John Erick Dowdle (Quarantine). This movie looks pretty damn creepy, something about people being trapped in an elevator with a demon, but that's not the important issue here. While some critics say that Shyamalan has fallen off as a writer (and he pretty much has), this could be his big chance to prove himself to everyone again, and it will be interesting to see how this film plays out in that regard. Check for it in theaters on September 17, and click here for the trailer!
Devil should either revive Shyamalan's career or completely kill it because it goes back to the basics of a good film, solid characters and an interesting plot. I doubt he can work aliens into this story and twists should be minimal.
ReplyDeleteOk, just thought of two movies I'm definitely looking forward to and thought I'd throw them out there:
ReplyDeleteFirst, The American with George Clooney. He's got a great range and doesn't really make bad movies, but rather throws up an Oscar possible performance every time. It's one of the better looking wide-release films left this year.
Secondly, Black Swan. Ok, Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis in a dark thriller about jealousy and sexuality. Who gives a shit if its about ballet, it could be about two dolphins fucking each other for two hours if the other twenty minutes entailed what I just said before it I would still see it.
