Astro Boy Teaser Trailer!

November 24th 2008 12:11
Astro Boy manga cover

I think it's safe to say that many of us grew up watching Astro Boy, and hoped desperately that we could be a boy robot, with the strength to beat up much bigger robots.

Sure, his weird, pointy hair was discomforting, as was his tendency to fight evil shirtless, but that dude fired lasers out of his ass, man. Seriously - ass lasers.


This cat was decked out with lasers, in his fingers, and flashlights in his eyes. You couldn't get one up on him, even if you were an insane villain. Still, though, all he wanted was to be accepted as his school for children with impossibly large eyes.

The teaser trailer for "Astro Boy" shows that's it's all CGI, and it's coming out in 2009 - people are already complimenting the trailer for suggesting that the movie will be true to the original cartoon.



Luckily, Astro Boy never grows up, and never puts on weight. It was only a matter of time before I grew up, I guess, and started to think about asking his human sister out. She grew up to be a fox, man.


In case you've forgotten just how hard Astro used to rock, here's the opening sequence from the 80s cartoon:

Hogfather movie

Hogfather trailer - click to watch.

It's entirely unlikely that this new made-for-television adaptation of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novel 'Hogfather' will be coming to Australian television anytime soon (if at all). Nay, it's more likely it'll just show up on DVD here sometime in the next six months. I could be wrong though, stranger things have happened, so don't hyperventilate too much!

Anyway, the above trailer is a teaser for the TV special. It's a two part mini-series that ran over Christmas in the UK just recently, and it looks pretty swish. I think it might just be the first time a Terry Pratchett novel has ever been adapted for the screen as live-action. Exciting stuff for the fans!

For Your Consideration trailer

November 26th 2006 07:06

For Your Consideration trailer - click!

Christopher Guest and co. turn their free-wheeling satirical talents towards Hollywood and the Oscar-baiting machine. 'For Your Consideration' are the words used by the studios when putting forward who or what they hope will be nominated for an Oscar by the Academy, and judging from the above trailer, this film is going to dance all over the whole process and hoopla that has become every bit as much a part of Hollywood as cinema itself.

Guest has carved a niche for himself and his regulars with their inspirational brand of ad-libbed mockumentary. More than satire, the subjects he chooses for his films become vehicles for the actors to pin their jokes and performances on. The humour is more about characterisation than providing biting commentary on serious subjects, hence their previous films being dedicated to less hard-hitting industries of competition... IE. Dog shows, amateur theatre and folk music. The style has been very successful for Guest's ensemble, even to the point that it's starting to become a genre (EG. The recent wedding mockumentary 'Confetti'), and they're the sort of films that get funnier the more times you watch them.

'For Your Consideration' promises to continue the solid quality of these films. Hollywood films about Hollywood are often never short of entertaining, and Ricky Gervais - who is no stranger to ad-libbed comedy - joins the team here too, which should provide some awkward laughs.

Looking forward to this one.

Clerks 2 trailer

I can't say I'm filled with anticipation with the idea of a sequel to Clerks. Clerks may still be Kevin Smith's best film, and I fear that a sequel could suck out the director's last remaining shreds of credibility
