We’ve been covering James Cameron’s “Avatar” pretty heavily over at our sister site SciFiCool.com, and of course there’s nothing bigger this week than the release of the first-ever “Avatar” teaser trailer, which you can check out below and behold the …...

Gerard Butler vs. Jamie Fox in Law Abiding Citizen Trailer

Is it wrong to root for the bad guy? Gerard Butler’s character doesn’t start off as the bad guy, but boy, by the one minute mark in this trailer for the movie, he turns into Hannibal Lecter’s better looking cousin or something. Check out the first trailer for Butler and Jamie Foxx’s...

5-Minute Red Band Trailer for Paul Bettany’s Legion

Scott Stewart’s “Legion” went into Comic-Con ‘09 as a mostly unnoticed film, but I think it came out getting a little bit more attention and respect. Deservedly so, in my opinion, if you’re into the genre. This looks like a classic last stand in a haunted house movie, except...

Kick-Ass Comic Con Bootleg Trailer

In my Comic-Con ‘09 coverage I told you that Matthew Vaughn’s “Kick-Ass” panel was probably the best of the con, if the reaction to all the clips and trailer that Vaughn and company showed was any indication. Here’s that 90-second trailer. It’s strictly NSFW thanks...

Iron Man 2 Comic Con Bootleg Footage

You know it had to happen sooner or later, although I am surprised it’s later, but someone’s finally uploaded the “Iron Man 2″ footage that was shown at this year’s Comic-Con ‘09. It’s five minutes of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick...

Open Discussion Thread: G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra

Snake Eyes. Scarlett. Storm Shadow. Duke. And … Ripcord? Okay, so maybe not a whole lot of people who grew up with the ’80s cartoon, and who have been hoarding Joe action figures since they were a wee tyke will be showing up in theaters to see Marlon Wayans as Ripcord. But let’s face...

Peter Jackson’s The Lovely Bones Trailer

I have to admit, I haven’t really been keeping track of Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones”, but after having seen the trailer — yeah, this is one movie to watch, alright. It looks like a great combination of different genres — fantasy, thriller, mystery, drama. You...

Kick-Ass Comic-Con Bootleg Clips

Sooner or later, I knew these would show up on YouTube. I’m surprised it took this long, though. In any case, here are those four clips that Matthew Vaughn and company brought over to Comic-Con last week to show the gathered masses. As I mentioned in my coverage of the “Kick Ass” panel,...

Four New Clips from G.I. Joe Rise of Cobra

Love it, hate it, or fear it, here are four new clips from Stephen Sommers’ upcoming “G.I. Joe: Rise of Cobra”, which is opening next week, August 7, 2009. That’s right, kids, pretty soon you’ll be able to prove to people that you were right along, it’s the best movie...

Ruminations of a Comic-Con Virgin

(The original title of this article was “Ruminations of a Comic-Con Virgin, or How I Learned to Enjoy Standing in Line for 3 Hours in the Hot Sun Next to a Guy in an Ill-Fitting Storm Troopers Costume”. Alas, that title would have screwed up the site’s theme something awful, so I’ve...

TV Review: Human Target Pilot (Comic-Con ‘09)

Mark Valley is Christopher Chance, a freelance bodyguard at the center of FOX’s new action-adventure show Human Target. Unlike his comic book counterpart, from which the show is based, the TV version of Chance does not, in fact, assume the identity of his employees. Instead, Chance blends into...

Comic Con ‘09 Coverage: Legion Panel

It’s like the “Terminator” crossed with something John Carpenter would have done in the late ’70s and ’80s ala movies like “The Thing” and “Prince of Darkness”. That’s the best way to describe Paul Bettany’s upcoming “Legion”,...

First Trailer for Rain’s Ninja Assassin

Here’s your first look at the first trailer for South Korean pop star/actor Rain’s first English-language film as a leading man — the Wachowski Brothers-produced “Ninja Assassin”. If you need to break into a market, there are worst ways to do it than riding on the coattails...

Comic Con ‘09 Coverage: Spartacus Panel

This was one of the panels at Comic-Con that I was most curious about. You’ve probably heard all the stories, since we’ve been covering the Starz show from Day 1. It’s not supposed to be your father’s Spartacus. Bloody violence, sex, nudity — all that good stuff they couldn’t...

Denzel Washington in Book of Eli Trailer

After a long wait, it’s finally here — the first trailer for Denzel Washington’s post-apocalyptic action film, “Book of Eli”. The Hughes Brothers are directing this one, and it co-stars Gary Oldman as the bad guy (who plays bad guys better than Gary Oldman?) and Mila Kunis...

Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland Teaser Trailer

Here’s another panel I missed out on. In this case, it was on purpose. I didn’t feel like fighting the “Twilight” kids to get in to see this, which showed before the “New Moon” panel in Hall H. In any case, I suspect that much of the panel was full of “Twilight”...

Comic-Con ‘09 Coverage: Kick-Ass Panel

I may have missed the “Avatar” panel by a good 60 minutes, but I caught all of the “Kick-Ass” panel, and I’m glad I did. This may just end up being the highlight of the con for me, it was that good. Of course it helped that director Matthew Vaughn made the trip to San Diego...

Sam Raimi to Direct World of Warcraft Movie

The last time we heard about a possible “World of Warcraft” movie, it was over 2 years ago when some fan blog wrote about a possible plotline. Now the news is more concrete — as in, very official, and it’s this: Sam Raimi has signed up to direct a “World of Warcraft”...

New Batch of Iron Man 2 Images

Here’s the latest batch of “Iron Man 2″ images. Most of these you probably already saw in various degrees of quality (well, mostly crappy quality), but these are better resolution ones recently released by the studio. There are also a couple of new pics in the batch — the one...
