In Darkness is the latest film from acclaimed Polish director Agnieszka Holland and, from what I’ve overheard whilst eavesdropping on people who know more than me, was essentially the runner-up for Best Foreign Language Film at the Oscars on Sunday.

In Darkness is set in Nazi-occupied Poland and follows a sewer workers attempts to hide a group of Jews deep within the sewer system. While I can’t yet tell you how good the film is, I can share with you the trailer and some images.

WARNING: Contains subtitles and extended scenes of sewers

In Darkness is on limited release from 16th March 2012.

An intriguing trailer has been kicking around the internet for a new Sci-Fi romance called Upside Down starring the recently defended Kirsten Dunst and Jim Sturgess. What makes this trailer particularly exciting is that it keeps being pulled down from around the internet, it is the forbidden fruit of the trailer world.

With a plot involving a second world directly above our own but with opposite gravity, think about it for a moment, it is almost too easy to describe the film as feeling like a cross between Inception and Another Earth. Sadly I like an easy life, so watch the trailer below and marvel at what is a cross between Inception and Another Earth.

Observant people will have noticed that the trailer is French, this is because there is no release date yet in any English-speaking country. For anyone like me with only a few choice French phrases (Où est mon petit-déjeuner?) I have translated the text from the trailer with help from various different translation websites, each giving slightly incoherent responses.

Imagine another world with its own gravity just above ours. The laws of the universes oppose them but nothing can separate them. Next year love will change our view on the world.

Fingers crossed someone wears a thick jumper at some point so I can lump this into the Heavy Knitwear Science Fiction category.

With so many people rediscovering our teaser dissection for The Dark Knight Rises, I thought it only fair to provide a dissection of the full trailer, and give people something slightly more worth their time. It is Christmas after all. And as the only comment on the previous dissection was “This isn’t much of a dissection”, I am going to take this way too far and show every single shot from the trailer regardless of interest or sanity.

If you haven’t seen the trailer yet it is embedded below:

Now onto the dissection… Read more »

If there’s one type of actor I love it is an older English actor, the more honours the better. Put a Dame in a cast list and I will be queuing up on opening night. There’s something about an actor with a huge career behind them who continues to produce quality work that I find irresistible… in a cinematic sense of course.

When I heard about The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a comedy about seven British pensioners having a romp in India, I could hardly believe my eyes. Dames all over the place! Meet me after the trailer:

How much fun does that look? Providing the best jokes aren’t all in this trailer it looks like we have a British comedy starring a plethora of our older stars, showing the young up-and-comers how it’s done. Even more exciting is that this film stars my all time favourite “National Treasure”, or rather an amazing combination of six. With a cast like this I feel the trailer should simply list the cast while rousing music plays, think Burn After Reading.

Sorry Ronald Pickup, I have no idea who you are.

No. If I can’t pronounce it, I don’t want to eat it.

Thanks to MGM having a minor financial collapse, The Cabin in the Woods has been waiting to be released since 2009. I’d all but abandoned hope of ever seeing it in the cinema but this past week the film has gained a release date, poster and its first trailer.

Written by Joss Whedon (of Buffy fame and Dollhouse shame) and Drew Goddard (Cloverfield), The Cabin in the Woods stars a host of attractive young things alongside acting heavyweights Richard Jenkins and Bradley Whitford. I sadly spoilt myself long ago with the twisty parts of the plot, suffice to say that this is Scream meets Hostel via every other horror film.

For my taste the trailer sells the film short and gives far too much away (hence the lack of a dissection) but is embedded below regardless:

Interesting to see that there is no mention of the film being released in 3D, when the 3D conversion was at one point blamed for the film’s delayed release.

The Cabin on the Woods is released on Friday 13th April 2012 and I’m excited.
