Trailer Time 10/3/2012

The Lone Ranger

Predictably Johnny Depp gets the real mythic treatment in this first look at Gore Verbinski's (the first three Pirates of the Caribbean movies, and let's never forget, The Mexican) long-gestating take on the '50s Western icon. Armie Hammer stars as the titular hero but it's clear who is really being used to sell the movie: Depp in "crazy" makeup with a  bird on his head, cause come on, why WOULDN'T he?

The Guilt Trip

In what should have been called "Jewish Mom Takes a Road Trip," "The Guilt Trip" pairs Barbra Streisand, in her first leading role since 1996's "The Mirror Has Two Faces," with Seth Rogan as a mother and son on a road trip. Naturally silly, mensch-y hijinks ensue.

Movie 43 (NSFW)

OK, deep breath...

This movie stars Chloë Grace Moretz, Elizabeth Banks, Hallie Berry, Hugh Jackman, Emma Stone, Naomi Watts, Gerard Butler, Kristen Bell, Anna Faris, Kate Winslet, Richard Gere, Uma Thurman, Seann William Scott, Chris Pratt, Justin Long, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Josh Duhamel, Live Schreiber, Bobby Cannavale, Kate Bosworth, Jason Sudeikis, Johnny Knoxville, Tony Shalhoub, Kieran Culkin, Jack McBrayer, Stephen Merchant and John Hodgman, and is directed by Elizabeth Banks, Peter Farrelly and Brett Ratner, among eight others.

THAT is a lot of star power in one movie. Apparently this was filmed over a period of four years in order to fit everyone in. The plot is a secret but it's clear by this trailer it will include lots of actors using words and speaking on subject matter that you thought was unbefitting to their "craft."

Lincoln

Now, that is more like it. The first trailer for this indulged in schmaltz fest, but this one gave me goosebumps. Angry Abe is a much better color on DDL than battered Abe. Not to mention some great lines from the gaggle of grizzled character actors that populate the rest of the cast. So now we've seen sentimental Spielberg and badass Spielberg. Which one will the actual movie be??
