James Cameron's "Avatar" Trailer

Friday, Aug 21, 2009
James Cameron's

The trailer to James Cameron's long, long awaited upcoming movie "Avatar" is available online. This movie has to be one of the most hyped movies in a long time and features one of the biggest budgets.

The reason for the buzz is this script for the movie was written over 10 years ago (written in 1994) and was meant to push the limits of digital computer animation for Digital Domain, the partner for the movie. But unfortunately, at that time, the technology just wasn't capable. Read more to see why this movie was over a decade in the making and watch the newly released trailer.

Before Harry Potters and Twilights, everyone pretty much read the classic Where The Wild Things Are. And don't fret about the book being ruined by a movie adaptation - looks like Spike Jonez and Warner Bros has a winner coming out this October 16th.

Directed by Spike Jonze this is an adaptation of Maurice Sendak's classic children's story, where Max, a disobedient little boy sent to bed without his supper, creates his own world--a forest inhabited by ferocious wild creatures that crown Max as their ruler. Set to be released October 16th, 2009

Trailer - "Gran Torino"

Sunday, Oct 26, 2008
Trailer -

Check out this powerful trailer for Gran Torino, Clint Eastwood's latest movie about a stubborn war veteran who's at a changing point in his life when new Asian neighbors force him to explore his prejudices and stand for what is right.

His Gran Torino character is Walt Kowalski, a racist Korean War veteran whose prized possession is a classic car that catches the eye of local gangs in his Detroit neighborhood. One of the troubled kids who covets the vehicle is from a family of Hmong immigrant neighbors, whom Kowalski has long resented.

...

Newcomer Bee Vang, a 17-year-old Hmong American originally from the Minneapolis area, was cast as the neighbor boy who strikes up a mutually reluctant relationship with Walt.

"The young kid, as part of a gang initiation, tries to steal it, and the old guy gets him at the end of the M-1, which becomes kind of a big deal," Eastwood says. "The kid has to do penance because of the pride of the Asian group. They make him do penance. He has to come over, and the old guy doesn't want anything to do with him, doesn't want him anywhere around."

The movie gives a big stage for the portrayal of the Asian world of gangs and violence and pride, and hopefully educates people way that Better Luck Tomorrow brought insight into the Asian culture. Read the full interview with Clint by Anthony Breznican over at USAToday.com.

Releases December 17 via Warner Bros.
