So the world of movie trailers has somewhat slowed down over the past week or two. Not a whole lot in the way of interesting stuff has be revealed to us other than a couple of interesting documentaries an the odd sundance selection. So lets begin with the best of those.
RE:Generation
RE:Generation is a documentary which set out to blend the boundaries of classic music genres such as Rock and Jazz with modern day hip-hop/electronic/dubstep DJs. Modern day DJs including Skrillex, Pretty Lights & Mark Ronson work with the likes of Leann Rimes and The Doors to redefine the history of music. Check out the trailer below.
I'm very much looking forward to getting my hands on a copy of this documentary and that's not just because I'm a big fan of Skrillex. I've had the chance to listen to a couple of the tracks produced by these unusual collaborations and I've been completely blown away by the final products. What do you guys think?
Perfect Sense
And now we go for the the Sundance selection. Ewan McGregor must be exceptionally busy at the moment. He seems to have films dropping here there and everywhere. With this, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, Haywire, Jack the Giant Killer & Impossible (See Below) all coming out this year he must have a diary full of Premiere dates.
As you can see from the trailer this film seems to be blend together the idea of a newly formed romance in the period of a mass epidemic of some new virus. The concept seems quite inventive if a tad unrealistic but it looks very interesting. Its one to keep your eye out for.
Impossible
Now, I must apologise about this but I had to include this to make the post worth writing. This is another film starring Obi Wan.. I mean Ewan McGregor. And there is yet to be released an English trailer. This is a Spanish trailer released about a week ago and I have looked high and low for a trailer in English. So, make your choice now whether you want to watch in Spanish or wait until an English trailer is released. But trust me, this is a brilliant teaser regardless of the language its in.
So is wasn't that long ago that Clint Eastwood dropped us the disappointing Hereafter which kinda dealt with the boxing day tsunami very briefly. But I believe this could be much much better. I enjoy a good disaster movie, however I think this could hit home a bit more than the likes of 2012 or The Day After Tomorrow. I clearly remember seeing the news footage on television when I was younger of the aftermath of the tsunami and being quite upset due to some of the disturbing footage. Juan Bayona is a relatively new director and his major release so far was the rather unsettling Spanish film we know as The Orphanage. And if that is anything to go by this film will be rather good. Something else for you to keep an eye out for, this could be the tear jerker of the year.
So that is all for the moment. I may be posting again in the next week or so with my eyes set on a whole new angle. Just to keep you on your toes.
