The function of a trailer is to lure you into watching a certain film. It does this by giving you the most attractive, cherry-picked scenes. My purpose here is filler:
Antonio Banderas surprises the world by taking the leap from perpetual Latin lover to science fiction bad-ass, who’d have thought! In Autómata, Earth’s ecosystem is about to collapse. Man-made robots protect the lives of the people still alive, but when one of these robots overrides a key protocol (that protects human life), Jacq Vaucan (Banderas), a Blade Runner-type figure, is ordered to locate the robot and eliminate it.
David Fincher’s newest directorial outing is the thriller-drama Gone Girl, an adaptation of the novel by Gillian Flynn. Ben Affleck plays Nick Dunne who’s wife Amy, played by Rosamund Pike, goes missing. As is often the case, everyone points their finger at the husband, but there may be more to this mystery than meets the eye.

Big Hero 6, from the same team of producers that brought us Frozen and Wreck-It Ralph, stars Ryan Potter as boy genius Hiro Hamada and his robot friend, Baymax (Scott Adsit). This trailer is one of the funniest I’ve seen in a while: While the trailer leaves a lot to the imagination as far as plot-line, Walt Disney Studios gives us a little teaser introducing what we’re in for.
There was an odd time in the late 1980’s where Michael Keaton was the biggest star in Hollywood. Since hanging up the Bat-suit in the early 1990’s, he has continued to have a successful career, yet will never reclaim that success he once had. In Birdman, the first foray into comedy from Amores Perros director Alejandro González Iñárritu, Keaton plays an actor whose life is overshadowed by the fact he once was a megastar due to playing a superhero decades earlier (sound familiar?

What piques my interest for this upcoming film is the writer and director, Kevin Smith. I’ve seen Clerks II and Mallrats, as well as watching some episodes of Comic Book Men and an interview or two. I have to say, I like the guy.
It may still be summer blockbuster season, but awards season is almost with us. Over the next few weeks we’ll have a flood of trailers for award baiting movies, and The Imitation Game ticks multiple boxes: a World War 2 period drama, a biopic, a Harvey Weinstein production and a chance for Benedict Cumberbatch to finally get some awards recognition.
Is it possible to give a film a bad review before anybody’s seen it? Apparently so, as the North Korean government have all but threatened war with the USA based on the trailer for The Interview. The new comedy re-teams James Franco and Seth Rogen, who co-directs with Evan Goldberg, as a hapless TV presenter and his producer who go to the “world’s most dangerous country” to interview Kim Jong-Un.
That kinky book your mom keeps hidden in her dresser drawer is finally being converted to moving pictures. Fifty Shades of Grey is coming, y’all! Get your popcorn ready!
After a couple of talking head viral teasers, we finally get our first glimpse of the situation in Panem in the new trailer for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1. Based on the final installment of Suzanne Collins’s wildly popular series of Hunger Games novels, Mockingjay moves from the games arena to a full-on rebellion reluctantly led by Katniss Everdeen.
