Trailer: Glee: The 3D Concert Movie

For those of you who couldn’t make the Glee Live! In Concert! tour, you won’t want to miss the upcoming 3D Concert Movie that’s packed with the tour’s musical numbers and behind-the-scenes action. The Kevin Tancharoen-directed 3D flick hits theatres August 12.

I just can’t get enough of that mini Warbler!

Trailer: Martin Scorsese’s Hugo

Scorsese’s fully embracing 3D with his upcoming flick Hugo. The family-friendly adventure film stars Asa Butterfield (The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas), the phenomenal Chloë Moretz (Kick-Ass, Let Me In), Ben Kingsley, Jude Law, and Sacha Baron Cohen. ComingSoon.net provides a synopsis:

Hugo tells the story of an orphan boy living a secret life in the walls of a Paris train station. With the help of an eccentric girl, he searches for the answer to a mystery linking the father he recently lost, the ill-tempered toy shop owner living below him and a heart shaped lock, seemingly without a key. Based on Brian Selznick’s award winning and imaginative New York Times bestseller, “The Invention of Hugo Cabret,” this magical tale is Academy Award-winner Martin Scorsese’s first film shot in 3D.

Dig the trailer above. Hugo hits theatres November 23, 2011.

Trailer: Sherlock Holmes: A Game Of Shadows

We all knew a Sherlock Holmes sequel had to be coming, and here it is. Robert Downey, Jr. and Jude Law reprise their roles as Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson, respectively, and Guy Richie and back at the helm. Noomi Rapace (The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo) is the female lead, and Jared Harris (he played the memorable Fringe baddie David Robert Jones) is the antagonist. Stephen Fry rounds out the cast as Sherlock’s brother Mycroft Holmes. After an initial viewing of the trailer embedded above, it looks like the sequel’s going to be just as fun, amusing, and adventurous as the original. A juicy plot synopsis lies after the break.

Trailer 2: The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn

Here’s a new trailer from the upcoming Steven Spielberg animated flick The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn. Though the first trailer impressed visually, it failed to mark its territory along the uncanny valley since none of the footage showed the characters talking. Thankfully this one includes that, and I’m happy to report that it steers clear of the creepy animation danger zone. Producer Peter Jackson’s Weta Digital effects are superb and I don’t think moviegoers will find it hard to invest in these realistic but cartoonish group of characters.

Here’s a suucient plot summary, provided by Wikipedia: The film depicts Tintin’s (Jamie Bell) first encounter with Captain Haddock (Andy Serkis) and the discovery of a clue to the treasure of his ancestor Sir Francis Haddock. They set out to find it with protection from a prison escapee who tried to get the treasure as well as Detectives Thompson and Thomson (Simon Pegg and Nick Frost).

The Secret of the Unicorn, the first of three Tintin films Spielberg hopes, is due out December 23, 2011.

Trailer 2: Captain America: The First Avenger

Check out this shiny new trailer for Marvel’s upcoming summer flick Captain America: The First Avenger. This one expands upon the original trailer, and it’s definitely more bad-ass. Again we get to watch a scrawny Steve Rogers transform into the super solider Captain America and this time we get a better look at Red Skull’s army HYDRA. As much as I enjoyed Thor and Green Lantern, Cap is going to blow those away. The First Avenger makes his way to the big screen July 22.

Trailer: The Muppets

It’s finally here. After rom-com and Green Lantern teasers and this, the first full-length real deal theatrical trailer for The Muppets has been released. Human stars Jason Segal and Amy Adams are joined by the entire Muppet cast (including Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy) in this super fun trailer that’s filled to the brim with action, adventure, and…driving! Watch it above and look forward to the movie’s November 23 release date.

Trailer: Transformers: Dark of the Moon

Yup, Michael Bay just kicked it up a notch. In a nutshell, Optimus Prime is mad at the human race because we never made him privy to this information: during our mission on the moon in the ’60s, man discovered an entire Decepticon army including Optimus’ long lost predecessor Sentinel Prime. And then all hell breaks loose on Earth. Shia LaBeouf, his new girlfriend Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Josh Duhamel, Tyrese Gibson, and John Turturro’s Agent Simmons all make appearances here.

The third installment of Transformers makes it way to theatres July 1.

Trailer: The Hangover Part II

One teaser trailer and movie poster later, Warner Bros. has finally let loose the full theatrical trailer for Todd Phillips’ The Hangover Part II. And now we know what to expect, plot-wise. Though he didn’t appear in the teaser or poster, Justin Bartha is back as Doug but this time he doesn’t go missing. The movie begins with the Wolfpack and their family and friends celebrating Stu’s (Ed Helms) impending marriage to an Asian woman (Jamie Chung). After conversing over a pre-wedding brunch in Thighland, the guys (Helms, Bradly Cooper, Zach Galifianakis) decide to celebrate the occasion with drinks. Stu’s finance encourages him to show her little brother Teddy a good time. During the night of insanity that will likely not be revealed a la the original Hangover, the boys will lose Teddy and the film revolves around finding him (not Doug) before the wedding takes place. Watch the funny unfold in the trailer embedded above. Spoiler alert–Leslie Chow (Ken Jeong) is back!

The Hangover Part II opens May 26.

Trailer: Captain America: The First Avenger

We got a glimpse into the upcoming Captain American movie when a 30-second spot aired during the Super Bowl, but that does not compare to this full blown trailer recently submitted to the Internet by Marvel. In the theatrical trailer we witness a scrawny Steve Rogers (great FX here with Chris Evans) fight his way into the US army so he can help battle the Nazis and destroy Hitler. When he’s turned down, his sheer perseverance gains the attention of scientists who want to carry out an experiment. Said experiment is part of the top-secret super-soldier program that ultimately transforms Rogers into a man with incredible strength and speed. Captain America is born. The story’s villain Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) makes a quick cameo.

Captain America: The First Avenger hits theatres July 22 in three dimensions.

Joaquin Phoenix’s crazy tale set to hit theatres September 10 [Update: trailer posted]

Im Still Here Poster Joaquin Phoenix

Remember when Joaquin Phoenix grew a filthy beard, stopped going to the barber, and decided to quit acting to become a rapper and act like a total idiot (much to our amusement) on Letterman?  Well all of that insanity will culminate in the upcoming (mock?)-umentary film titled I’m Still Here.  Magnolia Pictures recently outed the official poster for the Casey Affleck-directed movie (see above) and it’s been confirmed that it will release wide on September 10.  The press release describes the movie as “sometimes funny, sometimes shocking and always riveting, the film is a portrait of an artist at a crossroads.  Defying expectations, it deftly explores notions of courage and creative reinvention, as well as the ramifications of a life spent in the public eye.”  Are you willing to pay money to find out what exactly happened to Phoenix during his tumultuous days as an actor-turned-hip-hop artist?  Was he for real or was it all just a hoax for a social experiment?

Update: Theatrical trailer posted after the break.
