Repo! The Genetic Opera Trailer

And the genre musical hits keep coming.

Repo gets a full trailer…

I’m still not ready to say that I think this is going to be good.  The music isn’t grabbing me, and the images seemed cramped. But it’s a ballsy, interesting thing, and I applaud them for giving it a try.

Back To Babylon AD

I mentioned this strange Vin-Diesel picture a while back, and there’s a second trailer for it now:

 

It seems to be falling more into the realm of “weird euro science fiction” category.

But maybe not this weird:

The new Dark Knight trailer

This is starting to look really good, adding in complexity to both the hero and the villain:

It’s hard not to get excited about a movie that’s wearing its tortured characters right out on its sleeve.

Batman has always been a platform for both the absurdity and intensity of the superhero archetype.  It tilts from one side to the other, but it works best when it has elements of both. Looks like they’ve got that going on here.

Indiana Jones & The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Second Trailer

This looks interesting.  If nothing else it feels like they may have made an actual Indiana Jones film.

I’ll be honest and say that I never felt like the second two films lived up to the promise of the first one.  Somehow they got bogged down in the cliches of the summer blockbuster (which the franchise helped to invent) and became artifacts of the 80s rather than having that spirit of timeless adventure that the first movie had.

Let’s see if this can bring back the magic.

Vin Diesel Discovers Babylon A.D. in France

image Although Vin Diesel is clearly a very successful member of the nerd tribe, his career has been somewhat rocky lately. His last big hit had him playing a Navy Seal taking care of babies in The Pacifier, and since then it’s been a rocky road.  Certainly there’s been no big sci-fi epics along the lines of Riddick.

Babylon A.D. may be the beginning of the comeback trail…

It’s hard to know everything from a teaser trailer, but I’m getting a definite old school action vibe from this. The kind of bombastic neo-futuristic film that Arnold Shwarzenegger made until the 6th Day.

And of course, it looks like it’s combined with just a whiff of French cheese:

We’ll see.
