Tamara Drewe Trailer
Sometimes all you need is Gemma Arterton in a pair of Daisy Dukes. If that statement applies to you then you’re going to be very happy with Stephen Frears new movie Tamara Drewe.
Ugly duckling turned swan, Tamara (Arterton), returns to small town country life to find that her childhood home is being readied for sale. Friends and neighbours are stunned at Tamara’s new look and a few of them can’t keep their hands off of her, leading to more than a few lies and broken hearts.
Tamsin Grieg (Green Wing), Dominic Cooper and Luke Evans also star in this cheeky English comedy. You can catch Tamara Drewe in cinemas Friday 10th September.
Womb Trailer
Once you’ve seen a Darren Aronofsky of Lars Von Trier movies, your threshold for weirdness jumps up a couple of notches. Even so, we’re not sure we’re ready for a movie about a woman who gives birth to her lovers clone. Yes, you read that correctly.
Eva Green plays Rebecca, a young woman completely in love with Thomas (Doctor Who’s Matt Smith) that she falls apart when he dies suddenly in an accident. Unable to move on, Rebecca decides to carry a cloned baby of Thomas and watches him as he grows into the man she loved.
Creepy? Yes. Will we watch it? Yes. There’s no release date set as of yet but here’s the trailer.

Repeaters Teaser Trailer
What would you do if you knew the day was going to repeat itself? Yes, it was the premise for Groundhog Day but Repeaters takes a much darker look at a day that loops itself over and over again.
Starring 90210 and Extract’s Dustin Milligan, Repeaters is ‘A gritty mind-bending thriller about three twenty-somethings who find themselves in an impossible time labyrinth, where each day they awaken to the same terrifying day as the preceding one.’
Or so says IMDB. This is only a teaser trailer but we like what we see. Repeaters will be in cinemas in 2011, check out the trailer.
The Freebie Trailer
When Annie (Katie Aselton) and Darren (Dax Shepard) realise that their sex life has become a tad stale, Darren proposes that they each have a one night stand with someone else. Typical bloke.
But can no-strings sex ever be just that? With their romantic life on the line, Annie and Darren wonder if their separate encounters will bring them closer together or tear them apart. Directed by Aselton, this indie drama could prove that Shepard has another string to his bow and actually play a straight part.
The Freebie hits cinemas in 2011 – check out the trailer.
127 Hours Trailer
Danny Boyle’s follow up to Slumdog Millionaire is a decidedly darker kettle of fish. Based on the true story of possibly one of the toughest men on the planet, 127 Hours tells the the tale of Aron Ralston, a hiker and mountain climber in Utah who was crushed and trapped by a boulder while out climbing.
Stuck there for the titular amount of time and realising that he must either do something or die, Aron comes to a stark decision – to cut his arm off with his pocket knife.
James Franco will star as Ralston in what’s sure to be one of the most gripping films of the year. It’s out in the US on November 5th with a likely end of year release date for the UK. It’ll be closing the London Film Festival this year, so we’ll keep you appraised a little bit earlier in October.
The Next Three Days Trailer
The Next Three Days sees Russell Crowe and Elizabeth Banks play John and Laura, a married couple whose lives are turned upside down when Laura is convicted of murder. John, convinced of her innocence, consults ex-con Liam Neeson to help him break Laura out of jail.
It looks like a sharp thriller with Crowe doing the whole ‘man on a mission’ bit that makes the ladies swoon. It lseems that Banks has also nailed her damsel in distress/murderer character as she flexes her dramatic muscles once more. These two are backed up by Liam Neeson, who is apparently sporting a beret in the movie, and Tron: Legacy’s Olivia Wilde
Directed by Crash’s Paul Haggis, The Next Three Days arrives in UK cinemas in January 2011.
Resident Evil: Afterlife 3D Preview
August 23, 2010 by Emily Moulder

Although I’m not actually that excited about Resident Evil: Afterlife, I love me a sneak preview screening, so I got myself all revved up to see a featurette and a 3D scene for the latest instalment of the zombie series.
Director Paul. W. S. Anderson appears in the short video with stars Milla Jovovich and Ali Larter, all of whom couldn’t possibly give the movie higher praise if they tried. Paul explains that he shot the film with the same 3D technology that James Cameron designed for Avatar and that he’s trying to use the negative space between the screen and the audience.
He’s genuinely enthusiastic about 3D but just like a kid in a candy store, he’s eaten too many sweets and the outcome isn’t pretty. But shortly after donning the chunkiest pair of 3D glasses I’ve ever seen to watch the preview footage, I quickly realised that Cameron should have kept his technology a secret because it’s clearly not safe in anyone else’s hands.
The sequence that was shown is one you can see in the trailer – a huge guy with nails in his head, swinging an axe around a shower room. I can honestly say that I don’t think I’ve ever seen more wildly unnecessary slow-motion in my life. Due to the creature’s strength, size and the weight of its axe/hammer, it’s not exactly fast-moving to begin with and putting it slow-motion utterly erases any real tension within the scene.
What Paul fails to realise is that while ‘immersive’ is a popular buzz word these days, utilising the negative space doesn’t have to be such a harsh experience. It’s almost like the 3D effects were constantly trying to reach out and physically touch my eyeballs. This unpleasant sensation gives the viewer no sense of real depth – something Cameron had no problem with because he actually knew what he was doing with his own cameras. Don’t play with the big boy’s toys until you’ve read the instructions, Paul.
The movie also had a shiny, almost polarized look to it that actually made the film difficult to watch because it’s so busy trying to get your brain’s attention that it’s actually distracting. Overall, it looks like it’s an axe-swing and a miss for Resident Evil: Afterlife.
The video below wasn’t the featurette shown at the screening, but it’s pretty similar and if you still can’t wait to see the movie then, well…there’s nothing more I can do for you.
Skyline Teaser Trailer
It may have premiered at San Diego Comic Con but, as is tradition, we had to wait a couple of weeks before we could get a good look at the teaser trailer for Skyline. Written and directed by Colin and Greg Strause, Skyline sees the world suddenly invaded by ships that abduct humans en masse by sucking them up into their ships.
Scrubs star Donald Faison gets a chance to flex his dramatic muscle here as a member of a group of survivors trying to avoid the alien spaceships.
You can see Skyline when it hits cinemas this December but in the meantime, check out the trailer and let us know what you think – drop a comment down below.
Monsters Trailer
Gareth Edwards debut creature feature Monsters has some interesting buzz about it with some people comparing it to Neil Blomkamp’s District 9. A few weeks ago we showed you the poster and now we’re kicking the buzz up a notch with the trailer.
A NASA probes crashes in Central America and apparently it didn’t return alone as strange creatures soon take over the area. The movie follows a journalist and a tourist travelling to the US border through Mexico which has been heavily quarantined due to the alien presence.
Monsters hits UK screens this November but in the meantime, check out the trailer.
I’m Still Here Trailer
I’m Still Here is a documentary film made by The Killer Inside Me’s Casey Affleck and it follows the turbulent life of actor Joaquin Phoenix. But a lot of people are wondering if this is for real or not. Is this a mockumentary? Joaquin’s had a pretty wackadoodle life for the past year but has it all been an elaborate hoax?
Probably not since going off the rails isn’t that uncommon in Hollywood anymore, plus given the fact that Joaquin is a fairly serious-minded man, we’d say he probably wasn’t game for a year-long practical joke. The movie shows the actor growing a bizarre beard and deciding to embark on an ill-conceived rap career, not to mention his strange behaviour on David Letterman’s chat show.
Check out the trailer to I’m Still Here and let us know what you think: fact or fiction, drop a comment down below.
