If you’ve been waiting for a new trailer for Disney’s upcoming Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, wait no more because here it is.

In addition to featuring some of the footage we’ve already scene, this new trailer doles out a little more plot information for the film. The 3D film hits theaters on May 20.

I generally don’t have the time to devote to play any of those viral marketing games that studios seem to like to use to promote an upcoming film. If you’re like me, you really appreciate it when someone else does the work and then shares the results. So since somebody else has done the work, we’re passing along the results to you. Hope you appreciate it.

There’s not much in the terms of new footage in the clip. And what little there is contains some product placement for, what else, Nokia Phones!

So does Nokia have an app for this?

One of the big moments of last weekend’s Sand Diego Comic Con was the screening of a five minute trailer for attendees of Marvel Studios upcoming Thor. Normally these things tend to show up online in some form of video camera-recorded bootleg versions. Overnight, though, the Thor footage materialized and it looks like it has come from an actual copy of what was presented has appeared and is making its way around the internet. I doubt that this is an official release, and it might disappear from some places, but the toothpaste is out of the tube and Marvel won’t be able to get it back in there.

I have to say that I really like what we’re seeing here. The trailer gives us a good sense of the film’s story and Thor’s character arc, hinting at how it will marry the grandeur of Asgard, home of the Norse gods, to its more Earth-bound components. Kenneth Branagh’s done some good work here, if this is anything to judge by. And clocking in at five minutes, it is a lot longer than any actual trailer that Marvel Studios may release in the near future.

In the meantime, enjoy while you can.

So the new full trailer for the Japanese live action adaptation of the classic anime series Space Battleship Yamato, known to most English audiences as Star Blazers, has no English subtitles. I don’t think we really need them here though to get a feeling for what the movie, hitting theaters in Japan in December, will look like.

Visually, director Takashi Yamazaki (The Returner) is going for the big, epic look needed for the film. True, the effects might not 100% photo realistic, but this is probably been made for a fraction of what Hollywood blockbusters are cranked out for. (I believe that the recent 20th Century Boys trilogy, where all three film were produced simultaneously, remains one of the Japanese film industry’s most expensive projects at a budget of 6 billion yen or approximately $67 million dollars.) But then again Japanese cinema isn’t plagued with the bloated, budget-inflating salaries that many big names in Hollywood command.

Well, this is a bit more like it.

Last night I was not that impressed with the brief glimpse we got of the upcoming Green Hornet film starring Seth Rogen. I felt that it played up the expected Seth Rogen screen personna at the possible expense of what the film is really about.

But now we have the film’s first official trailer and it feels as if it has a much different mission than the Entertainment Tonight clip. Here, the trailer is introducing the character to audiences who are probably unfamiliar with him. It sets up Britt Reid’s motivations in becoming the Hornet as well as the hero’s fairly unique modus operandi of posing as a criminal to bring down organized crime. It sells both the action and what appears to be a light tone for the film without dipping into camp territory.

One of the most anticipated comic book movies to be released this year, after Iron Man 2 and maybe Scott Pilgrim Saves The World has to be Jonah Hex. The trailer has just recently hit the web, and here it is for your viewing pleasure.

My verdict? A great 30 seconds makes way for needless and tacked on superpowers, pisspoor southern accents, and completely anachronistic guns. So, this film has gone from my “look forward” list to my “very worried about” list.

If the new trailer is anything to go by, it looks like Iron Man 2 will upping the ante for action and things that fans of the comic book want to see translated to the big screen. We get a longer look at the previously glimpsed sequence in which villainous Whiplash (Mickey Rourke) attacks Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) during a Formula One race. And that glimpse shows us that Stark travels with a suitcase-sized version of his famous Iron Man suit, a staple of the comic for decades. We also see a bit more of Samuel L. Jackson’s eye-patched spy master Nick Fury, a quick shot of Scarlett Johansson in action as the Black Widow and Sam Rockwell as the scheming industrialist Justin Hammer. Check out it out below.

Is Repo Chick a sequel from director Alex Cox to his 1984 punk cult classic Repo Man? Not officially, as Universal Studios tried to point out to Cox when they filed a cease-and-desist after the director announced the project was in active production last year. However, as none of the characters from Cox’s original film appear in Repo Chick, it’s hard to argue that it is a direct sequel. However, it’s lo-fi aesthetic and what we see of the plot strongly suggest that it is in spirit cut from the same cloth as Repo Man.

Much like the new Star Wars trilogy, much of Repo Chick was filmed in front of green screens with backgrounds added in post-production. Unlike the Star Wars films, Cox has gone for an interesting, funky lo-fi look for those backgrounds that has me anxious to see the completed film. It premiered at the Venice Film Festival last September, but hasn’t been picked up for distribution here in the States yet.

To most Americans, Noel Clarke is probably best known as Mickey Jones, the oft-times hapless boyfriend of Rose Tyler, time-traveling companion to the mysterious Doctor on the British science-fiction series Doctor Who. However, Clarke has been carving himself out an impressive career as a writer and director in England as well as an actor. Check out2006′s Kidulthood which he write and starred in as well as its sequel Adulthood which he wrote, directed and starred in for a good sample of his range beyond Who.  Clarke’s latest project is 4.3.2.1, and sees him once again working as a triple threat in front and behind the cameras.

Beyond the fact that it is being tagged as a “crime/thriller,” there’s not much to be found about the film’s plot. Although coming out later this year in the UK, it doesn’t appear to have been picked up for distribution in the States yet. I say “yet,” because the inclusion of Emma Roberts as a lead in the film might entice a few of the smaller distributors to take a look at picking up the picture.

Among other things, the start of the new year heralds the beginning of the promotional push for the upcoming summer blockbuster movies. This weekend sees the premier of the first trailer for director Joe Carnahan’s big screen adaptation of the ’80s television series. Like the first trailers to most television to film adaptations, this one works to show that at least in some respects the filmmakers are respecting the original material. We’ve got a modified version of the show’s opening narration, the reveals of classic imagery associated with the show, a certain character’s catch phrase and a glimpse of a rather audacious action sequence. My only real complaint is that the trailer only teases us with composer Mike Post’s iconic theme music, leaving me wanting to hear a full-on orchestral version. I guess it’s got me hooked until at least another trailer comes out. Mission accomplished.
