3 TV Spots For Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar

3 TV Spots For Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar

It’s Christopher Nolan, and it’s sci-fi, so what could go wrong?

Well given that I don’t think his last two films were up to what I consider the level of his best work, I don’t know what could go wrong. Hopefully nothing. It looks really good and until proven otherwise I’m going to believe it is really good.

The film comes to theaters on November 7.

The fact that I haven’t heard about this film before now tells me it’s probably not any good. It’s also being positioned (at least a little) as a Halloween film — though it did not completely strike me as a film quite of the caliber. Still, I don’t completely trust it. But it does have some good actors in it and looked mildly diverting.

It stars Kate Beckinsale, Jim Sturgess, Brendan Gleeson, Ben Kingsley, and Michael Caine and will debut in cinemas on October 24.

‘Camp X-Ray’ Trailer 2

I’ve talked about it before, but I really think Kristen Stewart has gotten a bad rap because of the Twilight films. I don’t think she’s that horrible in them, I think people love to hate on Twilight, and therefore by extension, Kristen. She’s not amazing, or special or anything, but she’s fine.

Even so, what I have read from a few people who it seems have seen this film and given it a fair and honest look is that she turns in an a-list performance. Sure there are dissenters, but those that I have read saying the film is terrible and she’s terrible in it don’t seem like they’ve given the film…

‘The Imitation Game’ International Trailer

‘The Imitation Game’ International Trailer

Have you heard of Alan Turing? Perhaps you’ve heard of The Turing Test? Well The Imitation Game is about the creator of The Touring Test and his quest as a cytologist to break the code the Nazis used during WWII called “The Enigma Code”. As history would bear out, the cracking of the enigma code was a great stepping stone on the way to victory for the Allies. The story of how that code was cracked and the man behind it is one that warrants the telling of a story. And so told it shall be. Benedict Cumberbatch looks, as always, nothing short of amazing.

I’m very excited about this film. We’ll…

‘Inside Out’, A Major “Emotion” Picture

‘Inside Out’, A Major “Emotion” Picture

Has Pixar ever done a trailer like this? I may be wrong but I don’t remember it. The majority of the trailer is clips from other Pixar films. These clips, along with the help of onscreen text, show us the range of emotions and feelings PIxar has been through in their many films over the years. It then concludes with introducing us to some actual footage and characters from the upcoming film.

It felt very odd and frankly, I don’t think I liked it. There was something very distinctly back patting about this approach. There is a time and place in marketing messages to gently remind us of the…

‘Interstellar’ — Trailer 4

‘Interstellar’ — Trailer 4

The buzz around this film is now so strong I keep feeling like a very angry swarm of tracker jackers is descending upon me. But, it turns out it’s just marketing, mixed with serious emotions seemingly spiraling out of control.

Seriously though, I do worry about how I will view this film. I try to be very cognizant of my biases and influences. I try to understand why I do or do not like something. I have a bad feeling that this film’s hype may be surpassing my ability to control and counteract in my own mind. That said, this trailer — what is being reported to be the final trailer we will see…

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ Trailer 2

‘Exodus: Gods and Kings’ Trailer 2

While I prepare myself for nothing but the deepest disappointment from this film, I cannot help but to be quite excited by this trailer. Some Christians are going to scoff and point fingers at this point, but I think it’s too early for that. For instance I can see that some will say that Moses is delivering God’s word to Pharaoh in quite an arrogant and unbecoming way and having conversations with him that are not recorded in the Bible. Well, that’s true, but I don’t think we should deny the fact that there may have been (and most certainly were) events that transpired that are not recorded…

‘Tak3n’ Trailer

‘Tak3n’ Trailer

They took his daughter and sold her as a sex slave, then they took his wife, then they took him. Now it looks like they’re taking Bryan Mills’ freedom and charging him with murder. Ahh, but he is obviously being framed so, let the games begin.

This third entry in the Taken franchise was written and is being produced by Luc Besson, and the directorial duties fall to one of his protégés, Olivier Megaton.

I have no particular interest in this film, but I do have hope that perhaps it can be better than the second film, which didn’t always make a lot of sense and was not nearly as good as the…

‘Interstellar’ Extended TV Spot

‘Interstellar’ Extended TV Spot

Anybody else getting more and more excited for this one? I feel like I’m going to be let down just because I’m so high on the hype, not because the film is or will be bad.

this trailer gives us several more glimpses of what is to come. While earlier trailers focused much more on earth and the leaving of earth, this trailer shows us that probably at least half the movie takes place off of the planet earth. The story of our primary protagonist, Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) appears to be a compelling one. For instance, if you had to choose between your family and a dying planet, or piloting a…

‘Big Hero 6’ Trailer 2

‘Big Hero 6’ Trailer 2

It’s a day for trailers here on MovieByte. Now up for your consideration: Big Hero 6. This is certainly our biggest and most expansive look at the upcoming film. Little wonder since we’re sneaking up on the November 7th release date. And it’s looking pretty fantastic. It’s the story of a kid and his robot, and a bunch of nerds fighting a super villain, what’s not to like?

This marks the first collaboration between Disney animation and Marvel Studios. Sure, Disney technically owns Marvel, but they’ve maintained Marvel as a seperate and independent entity so this cooperation is the…
