A new trailer of How To Train Your Dragon, the upcoming 3D animated movie produced by Dreamworks, has shown up online:

How To Train Your Dragon Movie Trailer

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
Plot:
“The film is set in a mythical world of vikings and dragons. The story centers around a viking teenager named Hiccup (voiced by Jay Baruchel), who lives on the island of Berk, where fighting dragons is a way of life. The teen’s smarts and offbeat sense of humor is disliked by his tribe and its chief, Hiccup’s father. However, when Hiccup is included in Dragon Training with the other viking teens, he sees his chance to prove he has what it takes to be a fighter. But when he encounters (and ultimately befriends) an injured dragon, his world is flipped upside down.”

The movie How To Train Your Dragon feels like Kung Fu Panda: it’s a funny character-driven story in which we may discover some quite interesting personalities. I’m quite sure that the movie How To train Your Dragon is gonna be a blockbuster.

PRINCE OF PERSIA
Plot:
“Dastan (Jake Gyllenhaal) is a street urchin in 6th century Persia. After showing valor in battle, he is adopted by the king as his heir, so the king’s two sons will not fight over the throne.[1] He teams up with Princess Tamina (Gemma Arterton) to rescue the Sands of Time, a gift from the gods that controls time, from the hands of the villainous nobleman, Nizam (Ben Kingsley).”

Jake Gyllenhaal looks ab it too clean as Dastan, but I don’t mind anymore after seeing this movie trailer of Prince of Persia The Sands of Time!

Jordan Mechner, the creator of the game, who wrote the script of the film, must be be really happy to see how good the movie Prince of Persia is.

For his feature film directorial debut, Director Sam Taylor-Wood is tackling a biopic of John Lenon, the leader of the Beatles: the movie, titled Nowhere Boy, is about John Lenon’s childhood and adolescence. It is starring Aaron Johnson, Thomas Sangster, Anne-Marie Duff, and Kristin Scott Thomas.

Here below the first official movie trailer of Nowhere Boy:

NOWHERE BOY

Discover the untold story of John Lenon!

It’s a quite intimate look to the early life of the star. And I think it’s a quite honest look since it’s is based on the book ‘Imagine This: Growing Up With My Brother John Lennon’ by Lennon’s half sister Julia Baird.

We had the remastered Beatles albums and now we have a movie dedicated to John Lenon: it’s like the Beatle mania has been reignited!

Bad Lieutenant – Do you see I am on the phone?
Terence McDonagh (Nicolas Cage) needs his prescription but the service isn’t the most customer friendly…

This scene of Bad Lieutenant is much more hilarious when you’re watching the movie in a theater with other people around laughing with you!

Love in an upcoming sci-fi movie directed by William Eubank. The film is inspired by the upcoming album of the same name by the alternative rock band Angels & Airwaves.The release date is said to be Valentine’s Day, 2010, (February 14, 2010).

Here’s the latest official movie trailer of Love:

LOVE
Plot:
“After losing contact with Earth, Astronaut Lee Miller becomes stranded in orbit alone aboard the International Space Station. As time passes and life support systems dwindle, Lee battles to maintain his sanity – and simply stay alive. His world is a claustrophobic and lonely existence, until he makes a strange discovery aboard the ship. Driven by the powerful music of Angels and Airwaves, Love explores the fundamental human need for connection and the limitless power of hope… A high-impact visual adventure, that resonates a common truth, that everyone has a story to tell and something even greater to leave behind.”

I haven’t heard of this movie before seeing the trailer today, and I’m quite hooked now! I’m totally thrilled by this kind of movies. It kind of feels like Richard Kelly’s Donnie Darko and Steven Soderbergh’s Solaris, but the whole thing boosted with the music of Angels & Airwaves.

An earlier trailer of Love leaked online some time ago, and it just confirms that Love is gonna be a good sci-fi movie, an existentialist sci-fi movie: Continue reading »

GREEN ZONE MOVIE TRAILER
Plot:
“A thriller about a pair of CIA agents on the trail of certain Weapons of Mass Destruction and a foreign correspondent following their mission. Inspired by Imperial Life in the Emerald City.”

This new cut of the Green Zone trailer is way better than the US trailer. I wonder why they didn’t release this version of the trailer from the start… But now, it kind of reminds of Body of Lies with Leonardo DiCaprio..
:p
