This trailer would mean more if I’d read any of Shakespeare’s play outside of the two I did in school. I didn’t, so I’m just happy with a demented mix of magic and pontificating with a cast of familiar characters.

But does Russell Brand have to always play an Essex boy?

Release Date: Early 2011

It’s got Simon Pegg and Andy Serkis as the Scottish grave robbers and a gaggle of faces you’ll know from TV but can’t place.  No Nick Frost though, which is a pity.

Release Date: October.

Starting life as one of the Grindhouse trailers, like Machete, it’s
now getting a big-screen release. Rutger Hauer takes on the title role of
homeless vigilante, blowing away crooked cops, paedo Santas, and
sundry other scumbags with his trusty pump-action shooter.

Release Date: 2011

It first looks like one of those miserable period dramas with a disastrous love triangle set in 1950s England. But is in fact set in a near future human clone farm.  The dull love triangle bit looks like it’s still standard fare though.

Release Date: Early 2011

François Vautier’s mega HD (3.6 gigapixel) experimental film tribute to Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner using, among other things, 167,819 frames from the original film.

A baffling technogasm of eye-candy filled with audio SFX and memorable quotes from Ford, Hauer et al.

Nth degree fan-art. Weird but good. Full screen encouraged.

Making films about geeky things is hard because real geeky work is so tediously boring to most, audiences would rather eat their own eyes than watch it on the silver screen. Middlemen seems to get around it by making the tech-heads crazed loons. We approve.

Release Date (Ireland): November 26

The Coen brothers have remade True Grit, going back to the novel rather than the film for inspiration.

Sure why not start comparing and contrasting with the John Wayne version now? Everyone else will.
