Years after Finding Nemo, the sequel is close to arriving. Disney has released their first teaser/trailer for the sequel Finding Dory. It seems that this story will involve Dory going off to find her family with Marlon and Nemo in tow. You can view the trailer for yourself below:
The full court press of the Star Wars media machine continues with the release of the first tv spot of their upcoming The Force Awakens release. The trailer boasts a couple of new shots paired with a familiar theme. We hear Maz Kanata speak more about the eyes that she has seen over time, giving more of an impression that one or more of our lead characters will be related to the already established heroes of the Star Wars universe. The answers to all questions are only a month and eight days away at this point. View the trailer for yourself below:
After years of releasing video games and of course the online juggernaut World of Warcraft, Blizzard has released their much anticipated trailer for the upcoming Warcraft film. While the story is not all that original, one of the movie’s main selling points will be the cutting edge CGI used to create the world of Azeroth and its inhabitants. Hopefully the film will end up being more Lord of the Rings and less Dungeons and Dragons. Decide for yourself when you view below:
The good people over at Lucasfilm/Disney have released an international (or Japanese) trailer for their upcoming release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. The trailer boasts all kinds of new shots from the upcoming film including a money shot of Kylo Ren’s lightsaber being activated and Kylo Ren holding that lightsaber to Rey’s (Daisy Ridley) neck. Still missing: Luke Skywalker. It looks like Abrams is going to save this big reveal for the film itself and I must say that I applaud the decision. You can view the trailer for yourself below.
While I was reading an article about some of the behind the scenes goings on during the filming of Star Wars, I came across the link to the original trailer for the film. I watched it in its entirety and loved every minute of it. One obvious fact though was that those releasing the film did not expect it to do any real business. Yes, I realize trailers were much different back then: from the lack of music to the complete lack of any story information given, the way trailers were edited was completely different from the way they are approached today. But for the love of God, Darth Vader doesn’t even have a voice in the trailer, he’s just an ominous figure who throws some guy into some stuff, and that was supposed to send chills down the audience’s spines. Nevertheless, people came out in droves to see the film, and now it is a cultural icon.
Compare that to the trailer that was released yesterday which is rich in sound and color, yet strangely enough this trailer also is quite vague about the story, but still manages to put the good guys in light colors and the bad guys in black. Although this trailer, visually, is much more impressive, it still maintains a note of the simplicity that its predecessor achieved. Let’s just hope that The Force Awakens can measure up in content to what Star Wars produced so many years ago.
