Movie Trailers of Week - December 16th

So this week has been very busy with so a lot of trailers being released across the genres. I didn't have time to post them the days they all came out and I am just going to do them all in one big post. Here are the trailers for your enjoyment.

Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance - February 17, 2012

This trailer gives more of the plot and I think it looks better than the first only in cameras used not really plot. I've heard some really harsh words about this movie already with comments like Ghost Rider 2 makes Ghost Rider 1 look like The Dark Knight. I have really taken a blow to my hopes on the success of making a good movie with Ghost Rider.

Rock of Ages - June 1, 2012

Another musical is bound to happen a few times a year and most pan out pretty good. This one looks really great actually. Tom Cruise is the perfect person to play a full out rocker and the trailer shows it well. The story looks like not only girls can get into it but guys will have no problem with the amazing soundtrack of classic rock bands. 

Jack the Giant Killer - June 15, 2012

This movie has been on a lot of peoples list waiting to see something for it. Director Bryan Singer hasn't had anything filmed by him seen in recent years because he has been working on this - his baby project. All I can say about this movie is I'm a little nervous about it. The plot has been used over and over but this has a new twist that could maybe work or blow up. Just watch trailer and see what you think. 

The Dictator - May 11, 2012

Are you ready for the next Borat or Bruno? Well too bad if your not because this movie might just be that. Cohen has always had an eye for making out there movies with out there characters he gets way to into. This movie looks like it will have a few laughs but I'm not that impressed with it honestly. The only really funny part is the last scene in trailer.

Casa de mi Padre - March 16, 2012

I honestly don't know about this movie at all. I have no desire to see Will Ferrel play a role speaking spanish the entire time. I think it will have a market (mainly south..way south) but will not catch on mainstream. Just can't wait to have my wonderful girlfriend translate the movie for me. If not, I'm sure it will make a great soundtrack.

Crank creators take on Ghost Rider Sequel?

Brian Neveldine and Brian Taylor the writer/director duo of both Crank films are in talks to direct Ghost Rider: Spirit of Vengeance, which you will most likely have Nicholas Cage return as Johnny Blaze. The story was created by David S. Goyer (The Dark Knight, Blade: Trinity) and is an update of his script from the 90's.

Columbia will have to hurry up on pre-production and get start shooting by fall so they don't lose the rights to Marvel/Disney. And Nic Cage will have a busy fall with this and National Treasure 3.

This seems like a pretty good Idea and we might just have some over the top violence we need done in the series. 

What do you guys think? Should they direct? should Cage return? should they even have sequel?

Daily Movie News

Its Wednesday time for your Daily Movie News.

* MTV talked to David S. Goyer for what we can expect for Ghost Rider 2, which he says its not exactly a reboot, but picks up 8 years after the first film. He said " I hate to say it's more realistic, because he's got a flaming skull for a head, but its a bit more stripped down and darker," he also said "It's definitely changing tone. What "Casino Royale" was for the Bond movies. Hopefully this will be to Ghost Rider."

* The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have announced that Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin will serve as co-host of the 82nd Academy Awards.

* Anthony Hopkins has been cast as the Norse God Odin in Marvel Studios Thor. The film is to be directed by Kenneth Branagh (Frankenstein). Also starring Chris Hemsworth (Star Trek) and Tom Hiddleston . Natalie Portman is playing Thor's love interest Jane Foster. Filming starts in January 2010, for release on May 20, 2011.

* Columbia Pictures has hired Tropic Thunder writer Etan Cohen to pen the script for Men in Black 3. So far no deals have been made with franchise director, Barry Sonnenfield, and stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones to return. Studio looking to start filming in 2010, maybe as early as the spring. I don't know why they didn't make a sequel years ago with the $1.1 billion made by first two.

* ABC has a huge hit on their hands with the remake of the 1983 TV miniseries V. The remake brought in 13.9 million viewers for the pilot. This means that V is the biggest show to premiere at 8p.m. since Lost premiered. This is not including the DVR views of the show.

* Michael Jackson's Documentary This is It came in 1st at box office with $21 million. This is a little under the estimates but still very good.
