The October Trail

A trailers post! Yay! Most of these movies are still a long way from being released. Bummer. But the trailers are sure fun to look at!

Angels and Demons
A fresh teaser trailer. I hope they don't butcher the film with paranoid controversies, The Da Vinci Code film was so disappointing. At least Tom Hanks' hair looks better than that scary mullet he used to have.
Opens May, 2009.



17 Again
Kinda like 13 Going On 30. Except backwards. And it's a guy. I'm sure most will be watching it purely for Zac Efron. And who could blame them?
Opens April 17, 2009.



Underworld: Rise of the Lycans
A prequel to the first two Underworld movies. No Kate Beckinsale here, but there is Rhona Mitra. They look alike and are both British, so it's practically the same person! This Underworld prequel sounds kinda like a Romeo and Juliet-esque type of story, except with fangs and fur.
Opens January 23, 2009.

The prequel will trace the origins of the centuries-old blood feud between the aristocratic vampires known as Death Dealers and their onetime slaves, the Lycans. In the Dark Ages, a young Lycan named Lucian (Michael Sheen) emerges as a powerful leader who rallies the werewolves to rise up against Viktor (Bill Nighy), the cruel vampire king who has enslaved them. Lucian is joined by his secret lover Sonja (Rhona Mitra) in his battle against the Death Dealer army and his struggle for Lycan freedom.




Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince
The latest trailer for the sixth installment of Harry Potter. Watch worthy for Potter addicts.
Opens July 17, 2009.



Dragonball
Piccolo looks like a vampire. Other than that, all I can say is: Meh.
Opens April, 2009.



More upcoming movie trailers next month!

Some Pattinson with a Push of Potter

Due to numerous requests, here are a few photos of Robert Pattinson. For the oblivious few who don't know, Robert Pattinson played Cedric Diggory in Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire. He's recently reached a high level of fame thanks to his role as Edward Cullen in the upcoming vampire flick, Twilight.

By the way, for those big Twilight fans, I've got some good news for you, the Twilight film release date has been rescheduled to be released three weeks earlier than planned.

You can catch the film on November 21.

Now, onto less pleasant news, the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince release date has been pushed back to July 19, 2009.

To make things clear, the Twilight and Harry Potter's rescheduling of their release dates have no relation to each other whatsoever, Stephanie Meyer herself said so on her official website.

Alan Horn, the president of Warner Bros, said that the main reason for the release delay is because of the writer's strike.

"Like every other studio, we are still feeling the repercussions of the writers strike, which impacted the readiness of scripts for other films-changing the competitive landscape for 2009 and offering new windows of opportunity that we wanted to take advantage of," he said. "We agreed the best strategy was to move Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince to July, where it perfectly fills the gap for a major tent pole release for mid-summer."

All I can say is:

Bummer.
