Fan trailer for Rendezvous with Rama
Enjoying this trailer by Philip Mahoney for an imaginary adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke’s classic Rendezvous with Rama, the story of how a massive alien space station arrives in Earth’s solar system. Shame the David Fincher adaptation got canned recently.

Trailer for 13Hrs
Fuck you Edward, werewolves are back.

Yesterday Was a Lie trailer
I’m a sucker for blondes, noir and Chase Masterson so this really does hit most of my buttons.

Ink trailer
Hard to describe. Something about dreams and nightmares. Low-budget indie. Looks good. Just watch the trailer.

A Nightmare on Elm Street teaser trailer
Jackie Earle Haley picks up the Krueger mantle as the Elm Street franchise gets rebooted.
-
Avatar teaser trailer
I’m sure it will look incredible, but so far the impression I’m getting is all style, no substance; this teaser looks like a collection of Final Fantasy cutscenes.
-
The Wolf Man trailer
Vampires seemed to be the cool new monsters these days so it’s nice to see werewolves getting in on the action. Benicio Del Toro stars and Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer, Jumanji and, er, Jurassic Park 3) directs.

Trailer for Olatunde Osunsanmi's The Fourth Kind
Ordinarily I wouldn’t go near something like this but the use of purported archive footage makes me a bit more interested.

Jared Hess' Gentlemen Broncos trailer
I wasn’t a fan at all of Napoleon Dynamite but the fact that this stars Jemaine Clement (Flight of the Conchords) and Sam Rockwell makes me optimistic.
-
Trailer for Scott Stewart's Legion
No idea. Something about angels destroying the world? Not sure how the evil mutant granny fits into things, but I’m a sucker for a foul-mouthed old lady in any film.

Trailer for Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus
Heath Ledger’s final film, with Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law standing in as ‘aspects’ of Ledger’s character’s personality. Looks very Gilliamesque, with shades of Münchhausen.

Trailer for Jonathan Liesbesman's The Killing Room
Looks interesting, straight to DVD though I’m not sure if that’s really the stigma it once was. Looks almost Cube-like, I think. Make of that what you will.

Trailer for Oliver Parker's Dorian Gray
Hopefully a more faithful interpretation of the character than his last cinematic outing, which I believe was in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen…
-
Trailer for Spartacus: Blood and Sand
Looks like a cross between 300 and Gladiator but with more sex, violence and Lucy Lawless. Sam Raimi is one of the producers so could be good.

Trailer for Wes Anderson's The Fantastic Mr. Fox
Wes Anderson makes a stop-motion animated adaptation of Roald Dahl’s book of the same name. I’m not sure it’s really aimed at me, but I’m glad Wes Anderson is doing something different; I’m a big fan of most of his work but, although I enjoyed his most recent film, The Darjeeling Limited, it felt very much like Wes Anderson by numbers.

Trailer for Tron Legacy
Tron!
-
Trailer for The Book of Eli
Looks like Fallout 3: The Move, but that’s probably ok.
-
Trailer for The Blue Tooth Virgin
A comedy about screenwriting. That is all.
-
Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland trailer
The first trailer for Tim Burton’s ‘re-imagining’ of Lewis Carrol’s original story. Looks like Burton-by-numbers and I’m not keen on the cheap ‘throw objects toward the screen for IMAX 3D punters’ technique but still looks enjoyable.

Trailer for Patrick Read Johnson's '77
I was born in ’78 so I can only really have faux nostalgia about this.
