Mad Max: Fury Road - Official Main Trailer



Tom Hardy and Charlize Theron star in the explosive new trailer for Mad Max: Fury Road.



The film certainly has some stunning visuals. I think you could take almost any frame from the trailer and it will look amazing just as it is.

George Miller returns to direct the fourth installment of his post-apocalyptic franchise. The film stars Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron, Nicholas Hoult, Hugh Keays-Byrne, Nathan Jones, Zoë Kravitz, Riley Keough, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Abbey Lee, and Courtney Eaton.

Here is a short synopsis:

"Haunted by his turbulent past, Mad Max believes the best way to survive is to wander alone. Nevertheless, he becomes swept up with a group fleeing across the Wasteland in a War Rig driven by an elite Imperator, Furiosa. They are escaping a Citadel terrorized by the Immortan Joe, from whom something irreplaceable has been taken. Enraged, the Warlord marshals all his gangs and pursues the rebels ruthlessly in the high-octane Road War that follows."

Mad Max: Fury Road arrives in US theaters on May 15th.

Pixels - First Official Trailer



Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and more classic video game icons invade Earth in the first official trailer for Pixels.



Simpsons Futurama did it. Was I the first one to make that joke?

The trailer did look like a lot of fun for the most part, but Adam Sandler makes me wary. However, Peter Dinklage is a great actor, and that last bit with the creator of Pac-Man was awesome, so I'm cautiously optimistic. Hopefully it turns out to be a fun movie.

Based on the 2010 short film of the same name, Pixels is directed by Chris Columbus and stars Adam Sandler, Kevin James, Michelle Monaghan, Peter Dinklage, Josh Gad, and Brian Cox.

Here is a short synopsis:

"When intergalactic aliens misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them, they attack the Earth, using the games as models for their various assaults. President Will Cooper (Kevin James) has to call on his childhood best friend, '80s video game champion Sam Brenner (Adam Sandler), now a home theater installer, to lead a team of old-school arcaders (Peter Dinklage and Josh Gad) to defeat the aliens and save the planet. Joining them is Lt. Col. Violet Van Patten (Michelle Monaghan), a specialist supplying the arcaders with unique weapons to fight the aliens."

Pixels is scheduled to invade US theaters on July 24th.

Avengers: Age of Ultron - Third Official Trailer



Catch a glimpse of the Vision in the newest trailer for Avengers: Age of Ultron.



This movie is looking better with each new trailer. What's amazing is that the main antagonist is a robot, but seems to have layers behind him, rather than being just a cartoony villain. I hope my early assessment is correct, but the trailer makes it look promising thanks to some great dialogue.

"When Tony Stark tries to jumpstart a dormant peacekeeping program, things go awry and Earth's Mightiest Heroes, including Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, The Incredible Hulk, Black Widow and Hawkeye, are put to the ultimate test as the fate of the planet hangs in the balance. As the villainous Ultron emerges, it is up to the Avengers to stop him from enacting his terrible plans, and soon uneasy alliances and unexpected action pave the way for an epic and unique global adventure."

Avengers: Age of Ultron will arrive in US theaters on May 1st.
