PROMETHEUS CUT PAPER TRAILER

A palm d'or or whatever it's called goes to Youtuber TheReceptionist, who recreated the Prometheus trailer shot for shot by way of cut paper stop animation. Fucking brilliant. Enjoy the movie this Friday.

ROCK OUT FRIDAY: NEW BLACK KEYS MUSIC VIDEO

Sweet throwback b-movie trailer for The Black Keys "Howlin' for You" off their latest album, Brothers; song as soundtrack to a fake movie trailer... brilliant. With Sir Todd Bridges from Diff'rent Strokes and an uncredited cameo by snowboarder Shaun White! I hope this video turns into a feature length film. Directed by Chris Marrs Piliero. Check it.

THE GREATEST THANKSGIVING HORROR MOVIE THAT NEVER HAPPENED

Ridiculosly campy fake trailers appeared during the intermission of Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino's 2007 double feature, Grindhouse. One of them (Machete) ended up becoming a full fledged movie. But the rest, however, live on in 'what if' infamy. As we approach Thanksgiving and give thanks for the people and things we have in our lives, lets pray for that one day Eli Roth's fake horror film trailer, Thanksgiving, gets the full feature treatment. Dream on.

Note: If you are bothered by decapitations, nudity, fake blood and other horror movie staples, you should probably not watch the video.

GIVE THANKS FOR JR

Anonymous street artist photographer and 2011 TED prize recipient, JR, has documented his 28MM project showcasing the women of war torn Africa. It's a searing trailer and a film that will definitely provoke strong emotions for a part of the world that needs more of our attention. via: TED


TRAILER " WOMEN ARE HEROES" from SOCIAL ANIMALS on Vimeo.

I'M STILL HERE: HOAX OR GENIUS OR NEITHER?

The official trailer is out and the debate continues: have Joaquin Phoenix and Casey Affleck constructed the most drawn out Kaufman-esque prank, or have they created an introspective look at a Hollywood actor quitting his profession to pursue a hip hop career? The biggest crime about the reality genre is the amount of reality it usually lacks. Although, Joaquin did sing those songs in Walk the Line...

Joaquin, for the most part, has managed to maintain a relatively low profile throughout the filming of I'm Still Here. He has sprung up from time to time, most notably his bizarre Letterman show appearance in 2009 where he mumbled, appeared bewildered and was pretty much clueless about the movie he was there to promote —all with a film crew documenting his 'transformation.' The film's distributor, Magnolia Pictures, swear this is not a "mocumentary." If anything, they at least put together a really intriguing movie trailer. Guess the mystery will have to linger on until its September 10th premier. Watch the trailer and then decide for yourself. Via:  Billboard & @taylorlecroy

ENTOURAGE SEASON 7 TRAILER

Love the show or hate it, Entourage is coming back June 27th. For me, it's still the only reason I have HBO. Ok, ok, Eastbound & Down (what's the hold-up guys?) and Curb are solid, too. Last season ended with a lot of change —E got engaged, Ari took over his former employer and Turtle was dumped by Jamie Lynn Sigler (on the show and in real life). It will be interesting to see where all this leads for Season 7. As this trailer shows, a lot of egos are on the line.
