Your special treat for today is the second trailer for next year's superhero film
MAN OF STEEL. It's much longer than the first one and reveals more of the action and the story. Clark Kent/Kal-El (
Henry Cavill) is a young
twenty-something journalist who feels alienated by powers beyond his imagination. Transported years ago to Earth from Krypton, a highly advanced, distant planet, Clark struggles with the ultimate question 'Why am I here?' Shaped by the values of his adoptive parents Martha (
Diane Lane) and Jonathan Kent (
Kevin Costner), Clark discovers having extraordinary abilities means making difficult decisions. When the world is in dire need of stability, an even greater threat emerges.
Clark must become a Man of Steel, to protect the people he loves and shine as the world's beacon of hope - Superman! The cast also includes Amy Adams as Lois Lane, Russell Crowe as Jor-El, Julia Ormond as Lara and Michael Shannon as General Zod.
And guess what? There's another second trailer for you - this one for
THE LONE RANGER. The first one wasn't all that successful and
most people forgot that the film is hitting cinemas next summer. Maybe the second trailer is better? Starring
Armie Hammer, Johnny Depp and
Helena Bonham Carter (you are shocked, yes?), and directed by
Gore Verbinski, the Lone Ranger's origin story begins with a group of Texas Rangers chasing down a gang of outlaws led by Butch Cavendish. The gang ambushes the Rangers, seemingly killing them all. One survivor is found, however, by an American Indian named Tonto, who nurses him back to health. The Ranger, donning a mask and riding a white stallion named Silver, teams up with Tonto to bring the unscrupulous gang and others of that ilk to justice.
WELCOME TO THE PUNCH TRAILER
Ah, that is how it goes in crazy Hollywood - no trailers for two months and then they release dozens of them in just one week. Your third clip for today is the first trailer for WELCOME TO THE PUNCH. Ready to premiere next March and starring James McAvoy, Mark Strong
and THE WALKING DEAD's David Morrissey, this crime thriller follows former criminal Jacob Sternwood who is forced to return to London from his Icelandic hideaway when his son is involved in a heist gone wrong. This gives detective Max Lewinsky one last chance to catch the man he has always been after. As they face off, they start to uncover a deeper conspiracy they both need to solve in order to survive.
PS don't forget that you can watch live coverage of
THE HOBBIT ROYAL PREMIERE at London over at
Warner Bros. channel!
Looking forward to seeing this movie Man of steel , i was look gorgeous .
ReplyDeleteit really does look special, yes?
DeleteThe lone Ranger looks good but I don't know, was that a pirates symbol flashed during that trailer?
ReplyDeleteyep, we just can't escape the feeling it's PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN movie, since there are both Verbinski and Depp in it, and plus Depp looks the same as in all of his movies.
Deletei have decided to sing the theme to "two and a half men".... for your post. i am stoked about the superman film... it better not disappoint.
ReplyDeleteare you singing the theme now too...
super day!
Nope, never heard the theme :) but keep on singing, wine goes down the throat more easily with a song....
Deletespoon full of sugar, helps the medicine go down... la, la...la.
Deletesing me THE SONG OF THE LONELY MOUNTAIN, my bard... sing it to the sound of dwarves humming....
Deletegot hobbit! heck yes!!
DeleteFar over the Misty Mountains rise
DeleteLeave us standing upon the height
What was before, we see once more
Is our kingdom, a distant light
Fiery mountain beneath the moon
The words aren’t spoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune
Some good movies coming up!! I saw the Lone Ranger trailer at the theater and got a little excited. And Superman -- Oh, I have high hopes. :))
ReplyDeleteooh, did you just change your Blogger name, Luanne? :)
DeleteHope next year will bring nice films, although I'm not optimistic since there won't be much of my fave epics :(
Wow - Man of Steel has some big names in it! And Lone Ranger just made my to-see list.
ReplyDeleteyep, quite a stellar cast!
DeleteI know this is going to sound terrible, but I'm tired of superman.
ReplyDeleteI share the feeling for Batman and Spiderman :)
Deletelol my hubby was watching the trailers over my shoulder and asks me, "Who was the lone ranger?" My answer: "I don't care. Johnny's in the movie!!" hahaha
ReplyDeleteI didn't expect to say this, but Man of Steel also looks good.
'tis Armie Hammer, Lyndy :) You've seen him as prince in MIRROR MIRROR :)
DeleteBut Johnny is in the movie!!!! Johnny!!! That's all that matters ;)
DeleteI'll never get it what you ladies see in him :)
DeleteHi Dezi. Long time since I've visited. Had my nose in a book instead of a film. Thanks for the up and comings heads ups. Some of my favourite actors! IT's going to be a fab Christmas!
ReplyDeleteHey, Denise! Hope you will enjoy the festive season in cinemas with HOBBIT, LES MISERABLES, LIFE OF PI....
DeleteMe likes the costume in Man of Steel. I don't know about the movie, but I like the idea of the internal struggle Clark has to go through to make peace with who he is. I noticed they "darkened" it up like they have with Batman movies (same people I know).
ReplyDeleteI've seen some of the telly shows that The Lone Ranger comes from so I get the bits of humour in it. I'm a little uncomfortable with it though as The Spawn has a friend who is from the Ojibwe tribe and they are very proud of their cultural heritage. And they don't call themselves Indians either or Native Americans (that's just white mans PC term). It's the Ojibwe people and they have their own Nations. You should hear her speak her native language, it's beautiful. She's also taught me a lot about the plants native to this region. I know, I'm off topic. So the movie, maybe not so much. Sure it will be a hit though.
You know I positively despise that dark director, he and Tarantino are the biggest evil in todays film :(
DeleteI also have a Native American friend, her name is Avalon and you might've seen her at my Facebook. I know that most of them have learnt not to be offended and they kinda take it all with a sense of irony, kinda like we Serbs and Irish people have learnt to :( It is sad how the ones who committed genocide over their ancestors are now writing the history and are ridiculing them :(
Oh wow, I love all the trailers! I think all three will be on my watch list.
ReplyDeleteglad you like them all, Clarissa!
DeleteReally enjoyed the Lone Ranger trailer :) I love a good Western - they are far & few between. You'd never know that's Johnny Depp!
ReplyDeleteglad you enjoyed it, Jane, something to watch next summer :)
DeleteLoving all the trailers specially the superman movie....i might give it a try considering the star power and effects ~
ReplyDeleteHave a good week Dezz~
it really has lots of famous actors in it ;)
DeleteYes, the new Lone Ranger trailer is much better than the first one!
ReplyDeletethe first one didn't really give us much.
DeleteJohnny Depp is so overrated. I have had enough of his meh movies
ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more
DeleteI could be interested with the Lone Ranger, but the trailer (except the beginning) don't gives me a good feeling ...
ReplyDelete"Silver"? I prefer "Shadowfax"!
(oh and I didn't see "the Hobbit" ! maybe this week-end ?
tell us how you liked it if you watch it, Samwise. I probably won't see it any time soon since I don't have a cinema in my town :(
DeleteI will tell.... except if I don't like it!
DeleteNo cinema in your town ??? you're really unlucky and it shows how it's hard to live in your country!
You are very courageous to stay there!
we have multiplex cinemas only in three or four of the biggest cities. The problem is that most people don't have money to watch films so cinemas can really earn enough to stay open.
Deletesad!
Deletebut in France, people always have money (from where?) for cinema, football, smartphones, everything which is futile and sometimes nothing to eat or for their children, I'm not sure that's it's better!
that's because your country has never been bombed, ravaged and destroyed by Americans, Brits, Germans and the French, like we were :( It's almost impossible to recover when NATO bombs destroy your factories, bridges, roads....
DeleteI'm hoping MAN OF STEEL works out in whole as much as that trailer did. Looks amazing. Henry Cavill for the win. I'm liking this whole cast.
ReplyDeleteHenry will leave his mark on the role, I know he will. I'm so proud to be among the first ones who have discovered him back in the old days :) And the same goes for Eddie Redmayne from LES MISERABLES and Luke Evans in HOBBIT :)
DeleteI saw a clip of Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne singing "Heart Full of Love" last night. I'm hoping it was just the quality of the clip because it sounded awful. That's not a dig at Eddie. Just to be clear. Amanda seemed a little...robotic, as Miss Vic said.
Deleteover at HOLLYWOOD REPORTER they did watch the film saying it's a mix of great acting and tones of musical diarrhoea :)
DeleteLoved these trailers. I cannot wait for Man of Steel, Henry is spot on. The Love Ranger trailer looks much ore in keeping with the spirit of the series, which I grew up on, as well as the sensibility of Pirates. Though this has it all over Pirates because there is no Keira. LOL
ReplyDeleteI've been seeing so many clips for Les Mis and it looks amazing. Just like the stage musical, but bigger. I just hope it doesn't get beat down by ignorant film goers who want action every 3 seconds or in the case of the Hollywood Reporter, are complete cultureless oafs when it comes to understanding the genre of musical theater. ;)
I don't remember we've ever had such a huge week when it comes to new trailers especially with today's PACIFIC RIM clip :) Hollywood is crazy, instead of publishing them separately so that all would get attention, they give us all within a few days.
DeleteFingers crossed that ROTTEN TOMATOES and other nests of pure evil won't ruin LES MISERABLES like they did with so many other good flicks
LOL I typed the Love Ranger. Is it because I'm so in love with Johnny? ;P
ReplyDeletethe two of you should just get a room :P
DeleteI'm going to steal that Neil Finn music video for my sidebar :) It's incredible!
ReplyDeletesteal it while you can, sister :)
DeleteAll the trailers look great. How I missed James McAvoy! I'm glad to see his cute face on the screen again :)
ReplyDeletewe're glad as well, we do love him to bits :)
