Trailer Round-Up - Round #2
Monday, August 17, 2009 at 1:57PM 
Trailer Round-Up is a weekly look at new and noteworthy trailers that caught my attention on the internet this week. Every week they are popping up all over, so this is your chance to catch them all in one place. In this weeks Round-Up we'll be looking at crazy sci-fi novelists, an insane side show, childhood monsters and more right after this little break...
From Jared Hess, the guy that brought us such gems as Napoleon Dynamite and Nacho Libre comes, Gentlemen Broncos. The movie looks like it makes about as much sense as the name, but that could be hilarious. I love getting to see Flight of the Conchords', Jemain Clement in something different. Also I'm beginning to think Sam Rockwell can do anything. Look for him as a hairy Bronco or the more feminine Broncanus. This movie is coming soon, but I'm not sure how excited I am about it yet.
Terry Gilliam is most well known for making some visually stunning, and downright crazy movies. You may have seen his work in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas or The Brothers Grimm. His next film will be the last work we get to see from Heath Ledger. While Heath passed during the film, some great actors like Colin Farrell, Johhny Depp, and Jude Law have stepped in to fill in the gaps of Ledger's character. Just goes to show you what kind of crazy movie this will be with so many actors taking on one character. This looks to be a treat for the senses at the least, and one I'm looking forward to.
I am going to go out on the limb and say this will be one of the top movies of the year, at least for me. This looks like things I can't put in to words. It might just be a movie that leaves me speechless, but it's hard to say. The tools are there, and I think Spike Jonze has come up with such a great natural look for this film, which matches the art from the book so well. Each of the first two trailers have been amazing and I hope this movie lives up to all the hype that is building.
This is a movie that caught my attention at Comic Con this year. It's Mike Judge's new follow up to a lesser known film called Idiocracy. If that flew under your radar you may know him from his other projects like Beavis and Butthead, Office Space, and King of the Hill. This project has the very funny star of Arrested Development in it's lead, Jason Bateman. It also has the very hot Mila Kunis, and a very Jesus looking Ben Affleck. What I've seen of Idiocracy makes me hope this movie is more of a return to the Office Space days for Judge. Having a workplace setting might help, but I think this is a great comedic cast, so that will go even further to bring an audience to this film.
