Movie trailer round-up: ‘Sin City: A Dame To Kill For’, ‘Annie’, ‘Transformers: Age of Extinction’ & ‘The Boxtrolls’

Nine years after the original Sin City, co-directors Robert Rodriquez and Frank Miller reveal the highly anticipated sequel Sin City: A Dame To Kill For. Like before, the new Sin City is based on Miller’s graphic novel of the same name. The movie will tell two stories featured in Miller’s comics–A Dame To Kill For and Just Another Saturday Night–as well as two original stories imagined exclusively for the big screen: The Long Bad Night and The Fat Loss. The moody black-and-white neo-noir sequel brings back many actors from the first one including Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Rosario Dawson, Mickey Rourke, Powers Boothe and Jaime King. Newcomers include Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Juno Temple, Josh Brolin, Chris Meloni, Jeremy Piven, Dennis Haysbert, Ray Liotta, Julia Garner, and Stacy Keach.

Sin City: A Dame To Kill For enters theatres August 22.

Broadway musical Annie is being adapted for the big screen with 10-year-old Academy Award-nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis (Beasts of the Southern Wild) in the lead role. Jamie Foxx, Cameron Diaz, Rose Byrne, and Bobby Cannavale also star. It’s directed by Will Gluck who’s producing alongside Will Smith and Jay-Z.

Annie opens December 19.

Though it’s a full two minutes longer than the 30-second spot that aired during the Super Bowl, director Michael Bay has spliced together a new “teaser trailer” for his upcoming Transformers flick Age of Extinction. New star Mark Wahlberg is front and center here, as is an angry Optimus Prime and new foes the Dinobots.

The fourth installment in the Transformers franchise opens June 27.

Here’s the latest look at The Boxtrolls, the upcoming stop-motion animated movie from Laika, the makers of Coraline and ParaNorman. No dialogue to be found here; the teaser is scored by a cover of the song “You’re So Square” by Cee-Lo Green. The logline still goes like this: “An orphaned boy raised by underground creatures called Boxtrolls comes up from the sewers and out of his box to save his family and the town from the evil exterminator, Arichibald Snatcher.” Isaac Hempstead Wright, Ben Kingsley, Elle Fanning, Simon Pegg, Toni Collette, Nick Frost, Jared Harris, and Richard Ayoade make up the voice cast.

The Boxtrolls opens September 26.
