Trailers for Upcoming Films

[Highway 61]

Actually, they even said no to Cameron Crowe, which forced him to include a scene on the DVD with an intertitle saying something like, "And now take your copy of Led Zeppelin 4 and play Stairway to Heaven." In Crowe's commentary, he expressed no bitterness to Zeppelin and seemed to admire their hardline stance against licensing. And then a mere two or three years later, they opened the floodgates.

Well, they only said no to Crowe for Stairway to Heaven (and I would guess that that will still be the case for everyone). They did allow him to use That's the Way and Tangerine from Led Zeppelin III.

[Highway 61]

Ah yes. I haven't seen the film since its original release, so I'd forgotten. What a bizarre policy.

And they licensed Kashmir for him way back for Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Dr. Boll strikes again.

Apparently Blubberella is a 'comedy' version of Boll's also forthcoming Bloodrayne 3, both 'set' in the Nazi era for some unspecified reason (Answer: Tarantino recently set a film there)

But I agree with the article - can an already, if unintentionally, funny film series really be capable of producing a spoof?

I gave this some thought, then thought better of the doubtless ensuing aneurysm.

[domino harvey]

The main difference between the Blubberella trailer and the Bloodrayne 3 trailer is that one hasn't been color corrected yet

[HarryLong]

But that's what makes it funny!

I must say, it might be an unpopular stance, but isn't this exactly how a concentration camp film should look? I'm with Boll and Godard on this, though I doubt I'd ever have the stomach for this one, good or bad.

[knives]

While it probably is worth talking about again, the trailer was brought up previously here.

[mfunk9786]

Sorry, there's nothing in that thread that would have come up in a search. Unless we want to make that the "Violent Trailers Thread," what was once an interesting thread concept is making things a little redundant, especially if people are linking to trailers with phrases like this is also a trailer, which makes searching for prior discussion of a film impossible.

Your Highness

This is the restricted trailer, so if your workplace doesn't want you watching Natalie Portman in a thong, might wanna wait.

The movie looks hilarious, the Eastbound crew is the best working in comedy today.

P.S. WHOA NATALIE

[rs98762001]

That's either going to be brilliant or YEAR ONE bad.

[mfunk9786]

David Gordon Green, Danny McBride, and Ben Best? I'm guessing brilliant (or at least very funny).

[flyonthewall2983]

That's either going to be brilliant or YEAR ONE bad.

I would bet actual money on the latter. Nice to see Charles Dance is still kicking around though.

Your Highness

I can't determine if I dislike the trailer (a) because its just not my sense of humor, (b) because I don't care for period fantasy unless its Monty Python, or (c) because its just flat-out terrible. I think I'm going to go with 'c', though.

However, Natalie is as always very comely.

[Murdoch]

I hope Green doesn't spend the rest of his career on lowbrow comedies, I liked Pineapple Express a lot but the guy has a lot of talent and I'd hate to see it wasted.

[domino harvey]

I don't like Pineapple Express or Holy Grail and thought this shows promise, if most of it isn't just "Ha ha, bad words in an old-time surrounding"-humor

[oldsheperd]

The inclusion of Danny McBride gives me a little bit of hope.

[mfunk9786]

He wrote the movie.

[domino harvey]

Holy shit, didn't even realize that was Justin Theroux

Gabriele Albanesi (The Last House in the Woods) presents 5 ghost stories by young Italian film-makers: International Trailer

Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster in The Beaver

A kind of fascinating compromise of a trailer. I think if we're able to get beyond the (un?)intentional almost Shining-esque prestige pic parody aspects of it something truly unnerving can be glimpsed. I just hope this stuff is handled with the necessary adroitness in the film itself. If so, we may have something very special here.

For the past or present comic geeks here: Kennth Branagh's ridiculous-looking Thor.
