Batman v. Superman Turkish Airlines . Wait, what? (Trailer?)
Sigh. More weird ass marketing from DC Comics for their upcoming Batman VS Superman: The Dawn of Justice movie. First we had the truly strange “trailer” featuring Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) and Clark Kent (Henry Cavill) measuring their ding-dongs before Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) pops in to break the intense sexual tension. It just wasn’t really a trailer inasmuch a really oddly chosen scene from the movie. But, whatever. They made...
Captain America 3: Civil War (Super Bowl Trailer)
I know you’re all settling in for thirds on your buddies bacon nacho wings as the Super Bowl gets going but we here at Flick Nation are going to do you a solid by showing you the big Marvel trailer for Captain America 3: Civil War. That’s it at the top of the page. While there’s not a lot of new footage in terms of what we’ve already seen, the trailer does serve to show us who the two teams are going to be when heroes collide this May...
Cabin Fever (Trailer)
It feels like just the other day that the horror ingénue Eli Roth splattered onto the scene with his funny, gory and terrifying Cabin Fever but alas, that was over a decade ago in 2002. Since then he’s done more (bad) acting in films (Tarantino’s Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds as well as Piranha 3D) than he’s directed (Green Inferno). While he did have unintentional back-to-back films last year with the aforementioned abhorrent...
10 Cloverfield Lane (First “Mystery” Trailer)
This weekend Michael Bay’s latest opus 13 Hours hits theaters and it’s about Benghazi so right-wing conspiracy theorists are frothing at the mouth to see sweaty, tan and buffed men running around with guns. Hope they bring a lot of Kleenex to the movie, it’s a wet dream come true. However some regular movie people also went to see early screenings last night and among those were journalists and regular movie geeks who almost had their...
11.22.63 (Trailer)
It’s 2016 and I’ve made many resolutions. None of them included to stop bombarding you with Stephen King “movie” news. Actually, aside from Cary Joji Fukunaga leaving the new It adaptation, the news has all been pretty solid of late. Which is great because King is one of our finest storytellers and his books give themselves over to adaptations easily. The problem is, studios and screenwriters either truncate his work to the point of...
Elvis & Nixon (Trailer)
This entire trailer presentation should end as I write: “Kevin Spacey is Nixon, Michael Shannon is Elvis” but alas, I’m still too stunned that this is real to let it go at that. Up top there is the trailer for Amazon Studios spring release Elvis & Nixon and it looks batshit crazy. Not just because of the aforementioned actors who are starring in the title roles but because…well, did you watch that trailer!?!? I actually LOL’ed 3-4...
Zootopia (Trailer)
The modern mammal metropolis of Zootopia is a city like no other. Comprised of habitat neighborhoods like ritzy Sahara Square and frigid Tundratown, it’s a melting pot where animals from every environment live together-a place where no matter what you are, from the biggest elephant to the smallest shrew, you can be anything. But when rookie Officer Judy Hopps (voice of Ginnifer Goodwin) arrives, she discovers that being the...
Deadpool (Red Band Trailer)
It’s Christmas Day, when Deadpool decorates with trailers Red & Green. One that’s “nice” and one that’s “naughty” (the way it’s meant to be seen). Feature red band trailer for Deadpool that was released on Christmas...
Moonwalkers (Trailer)
July 1969, Tom Kidman, one of the best CIA agents back from Vietnam, was sent to London to meet Stanley Kubrick and convince him to film a fake moon landing in case the Apollo 11 mission would fail. Kidman is not Kubrick, but it falls on Jonny, the manager missed a group of hippie rock. Everything opposes them, but they will have no choice but to work together, replace Kubrick, deceive the CIA, avoid hallucinogenic drugs, all with...
Star Trek Beyond (Trailer)
Star Trek Beyond is the third film in the JJverse, following up a not-so-well-received sequel, due to hit theaters on Trek’s 50th anniversary. It was co-written by co-star Simon Pegg and directed by the guy who led the Fast and Furious resurgence. Nobody has any idea what the movie is about, until today. And even now, the best we’ve got is that the U.S.S. Enterprise, deep in the middle of its celebrated five-year mission,...
Batman Versus Superman: Dawn of Justice (Trailer 2)
As we talked about earlier this week, a new trailer for Batman –VS- Superman: Dawn of Justice was coming this week and right on time, it plopped Wednesday night. And the Internet comic book kingdom collapsed upon itself in a massive freak-out of negativity. I’m typically not the kind of person who either looks at other “critics” opinions before voicing my own nor am I a writer who gets caught up in Internet Bandwagon Bashing. That...
Batman Versus Superman: Dawn of Justice (Teaser Trailer)
From the “Office of Say What Now?” comes this very cool but very peculiar teaser trailer for Batman Versus Superman: Dawn of Justice or as it’s better known around the water cooler, That New Batman Versus Superman Movie. While this teaser is certainly cool, intriguing and a much different look at the film as opposed to the previous trailer, I’m not entirely sure what’s going on. But I have a guess. Rumors about the storyline of Batman...
Captain America: Civil War (Trailer)
I’m really not the world’s biggest superhero film fan but I do have a deep love of comic books even though I kind of phased out of buying and reading them years ago. (Too expensive, we just had a baby, etc…) And right when I tuned out, all the awesomeness of the “Marvel Civil War” storylines happened. Essentially the government decided they needed to regulate superheroes and some heroes agreed (Tony Stark/Iron Man) and others didn’t...
STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS (Japanese Trailer)
A not so big secret in movie world is that the Asian market for blockbuster films is where the money’s at these days. I’m not sure why because that market also seems to be pretty big on movie piracy but the sheer force of millions of people must override that. Anyway.. Today a trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens dropped on YouTube and it’s a trailer made for the Japanese audiences. I know this because all the...
Anomalisa (Trailer)
In August of 2012 filmmaker Charlie Kaufman ran a hugely successful Kickstarter campaign for his newest film, a weird stop-motion animation picture called Anomalisa. Kaufman wrote the script and Dan Harmon (of Community fame) executive produced, alongside others. Earlier this year the film played some film festivals (I missed it at Mill Valley, grrrr) where it garnered flat out rave reviews and today, we can all see what the fuss is...
Don Verdean (Trailer)
Well color me intrigued by this trailer for Don Verdean, the latest film from director Jared Hess (Napoleon Dynamite). While Hess has whiffed fairly hard post-Napoleon Dynamite with Nacho Libre and Gentleman Broncos I’ve always been rooting for him and after watching this trailer, my hope springs eternal. Don Verdean is about a once famous archaeologist played by Sam Rockwell who gets hired to try and bring artifacts from the Holy...
Star Wars: The Force Awakens – Final Trailer
What can you say about a trailer that’s had more written about it than most feature length films? Nothing! Except this. Netizens are already finding things to complain about, but that’s the nature of the beast when something is so hyped, so desired, so … owned … by the entire world. So we debate, we speculate, we argue, we pre-emptively start complaining about Star Trek Into Darkness again. Some of us have read...
Hail Caeser! (Trailer)
February 5 cannot get here fast enough. Why? Because that’s when The Coen Brothers latest film Hail Caesar! opens. This is the brothers’ latest film after their best film, Inside LLewyn Davis which I still refuse to believe didn’t win Best Picture in 2013. In fact, I refuse to believe it wasn’t nominated either. Now I’m getting angry. Back to Hail Caesar! Which looks funny and thinking about it is already cheering me up. The film...
The Revenant (Trailer)
Well, that looks pretty fantastic, wouldn’t you say? I’m speaking of course of the new trailer for The Revenant which now looks poised to win all the awards and make all the money this winter. And if the movie is as good as that trailer, I’m pretty much cool with that. The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as fur trapper Hugh Glass who, as is seen in the trailer, is attacked by a bear and left to die. He doesn’t. He gets mad. He’s seeking...
The Good Dinosaur (International Trailer)
In America, Pixar has been slowly teasing out trailers for their next film The Good Dinosaur which opens on Thanksgiving of this year. All we’ve really seen of the film thus far is some cool looking animation, giant, looming dinosaurs and a nifty logo. Well, today Pixar released a new trailer Internationally which shows the dinosaurs speaking and even gives us a look at a little caveman who apparently joins a lost dinosaur to make...
