Real World D.C. Trailer Points to a Season of Irritatingly Earnest Political Debates

Azaria Jagger — Wed, 25 Nov 2009 14:32:12 EST

Don't you just hate it when reality stars try to use their brains? The new Real World D.C. trailer suggests MTV's going to force its beautiful people to stutter about health reform, but don't worry, there's still sex and alcohol.

Based on this and their cast bios, here are the most promising characters:

Mike, the maybe-gay maybe-bi guy described as sexually confused in the trailer, is scheduled to become a gay rights activist mid-season. Cross fingers for a "closeted on the Hill" subplot, hopefully featuring Republicans.
Emily was raised in a "fundamentalist Christian cult" and is now on a "daredevil" streak, which is just screaming "crazy in-house hook-ups" and "alcohol problems," isn't it?
Andrew gets the most face-time in the trailer, and his bio says he's "witty," which hopefully means "bitchy bickerer." His affectations include an omnipresent panda hat and being a "local legend for his witty, often offensive, politically incorrect comics," which hopefully means disgustingly cute comic nerd romance, not endless arguments about political correctness, which are the most annoying category of discourse.

Bruce Willis as Himself in Movie Starring Everyone

ian spiegelman — Sat, 02 Aug 2008 10:05:17 EDT

Our weekend trailers are usually about sci-fi and super heros and stuff going BOOM! But Barry Levinson's upcoming comedy What Just Happened?—starring Robert Deniro, Bruce Willis, Kristen Stewart, Stanley Tucci and John Turturro—looks pretty damn funny to me. My favorite part is that Willis plays himself, and is refusing to lose weight or shave his gigantic beard for a role. Clip after the jump.

Christian Bale is now officially the biggest action star in the world, and next year he's starring in the Terminator: Salvation—which takes place in the future! So, here's the teaser trailer. I didn't even know it was online!

Watch the Watchmen Trailer!

ian spiegelman — Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:53:18 EDT

What can comic book and action movie fans look forward to now? Well, Watchmen, of course! You know, 300 director Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore's groundbreaking graphic novel. Lucky for me, the trailer just hit the internet this weekend. So have a look.

The Mummy Goes to China

ian spiegelman — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 13:13:00 EDT

As long as the movie studios keep releasing trailers for their giant-budget, crashy, explosion-fests on the weekends, I'll keep posting 'em. This week. it's The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. This one's got Jet Li! Much more importantly, it's got Michelle Yeoh.

Stars Make Viral Video About Making a Viral Video

ian spiegelman — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 12:57:07 EDT

To promote their upcoming flick Tropic Thunder, Robert Downey Jr., Jack Black, and Ben Stiller produced this hysterical clip for the MTV Movie Awards. So why am I posting it now? Because I didn't know about it last weekend and because it features Jack Black having his crotch assaulted again and again and again! See for yourself after the jump!

Bill Maher's Religulous

ian spiegelman — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:16:50 EDT

Talk show host, funny cynic, health freak, and kind of a huge prick Bill Maher has a documentary on religious zealots in America coming out called, er, Religulous. I know, he says "No" just to say "No" and his schtick is kind of retarded, but this movie actually looks good to me. And since the trailer just came out, here it is.

Gonzo: The Life and Work of Dr. Hunter S. Thompson

ian spiegelman — Sat, 07 Jun 2008 10:29:28 EDT

"From Oscar-wining director Alex Gibney and producer Graydon Carter comes a probing look into the uncanny life of national treasure and gonzo journalism inventor Dr. Hunter S. Thompson. A fast moving, wildly entertaining documentary with an iconic soundtrack, the film addresses the major touchstones in Thompson's life-his intense and ill fated relationship with the Hell's Angels, his near-successful bid for the office of sheriff in Aspen in 1970, the notorious story behind the landmark Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, his deep involvement in Senator George McGovern's 1972 presidential campaign, and much more. Narrated by Johnny Depp." Trailer after the jump.

The Official Choke Trailer

ian spiegelman — Sat, 31 May 2008 12:52:13 EDT

Are you among the legions of adoring Fight Club author Chuck Palahniuk fans? I'm neutral on the subject, but I do love me some Anjelica Huston, and Sam Rockwell's pretty cool too. Anyhoo... Here's the just-released trailer for the film adaptation of Palahniuk's novel Choke.

While We're At It: The New Indiana Jones Trailer

ian spiegelman — Sun, 04 May 2008 16:22:32 EDT

Movie studios like me, that's why they release their new trailers on the weekends. Here's the brand spanking new one for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. And, unlike the first one, it looks really good!

Better quality version here. [via EmpireOnline]

The New Dark Knight Trailer

ian spiegelman — Sun, 04 May 2008 11:41:40 EDT

So here's the new high definition trailer for The Dark Knight. There were a couple of crappy bootleg versions on YouTube for a few hours last week until Warner Bros. pitched a fit. Video after the jump.

Bigger version here. [via Coudal]

It's Alive!

ian spiegelman — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 16:40:25 EDT

A remake of the 1974 splatter classic It's Alive—in which a cuddly widdle baby eats everyone!—is coming soon. The trailer was just released at Cannes, so now it's on YouTube, so now it's here. Yay!

Teaser Trailer for The Spirit

ian spiegelman — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 16:04:37 EDT

So New York Comic Con has been going on all weekend and, of course, I couldn't go. So while all my nerd brothers and sisters are getting to see extended trailers for The Dark Night and sneak peaks of an Iron Man/The Incredible Hulk crossover, I'm stuck reading their half-assed reports. The one thing I could get my hands on was that my apartment-bound ass did get to see was this teaser for Sin City director Frank Miller's upcoming The Spirit which just hit the Net. Jump!

90210 Meets Cthulhu

Kevin Kelly — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:30:49 EST

Here's photographic and video evidence of what must surely be one of the signs of the approaching apocalypse: Tori Spelling in a Cthulhu movie. Make sure that sinks into your cranium before proceeding further. Yes, the very same Tori Spelling of Beverly Hills 90210 and the Tori & Dean Inn Love reality show strips down and gets her groove on in a wannabe horror film entitled Cthulhu: The Movie, where you never see any monsters. Unless you want to use the term "monster" metaphorically. Which we do.

We're well aware of the fact that it's difficult to try to tackle Lovecraft from any angle, but why would you try to make things harder for yourself by sticking Tori Spelling in your movie? If this was a retelling of Lovecraft starring bitchy girls who can't find the proper shade of lip gloss at the local L'oreal counter who then get eaten by some sort of lurking horror, then we'd get it. However, it sure looks like they're trying to be serious in this trailer, which for the life of us we can't really wrap our heads around. Especially once Donna Martin appears.

"Someone get down to the Peach Pit, quick! We've opened a portal to R'lyeh!" Yikes. Someone must have dialed in a favor or had some serious blackmail material for this one. We still prefer the Donna-free Cthulhu movie, which manages to be engaging despite being silent and in black and white.

The Speed Racer Trailer: Prepare to Trip Balls

Matt Hardigree — Fri, 07 Dec 2007 00:01:00 EST

Yesterday we were the first to bring you photos of Speed Racer, and now we're bringing you the trailer. We're going to hold off on making too many claims about this movie until we see it, but the trailer above kind of confirms what the film geeks over at CHUD have been saying about this movie actually being Peyote Racer. We're also going to hold off on explaining the story of Speed Racer to you because we here at Jalopnik don't think our readers are the kind of people that need the complicated plot and intricate character relationships of Speed Racer explained to them.
