One of the unexpected treats of last year’s Sundance, which went on to become a bit of a cult sensation, was Rubber, a movie about a killer car tyre! Now Rubber’s director, Quentin Dupieux, is returning to Sundance with his follow-up, Wrong, and an odd little teaser for the film has just hit. It’s a bit difficult to tell exactly what the movie is about, but apparently it involves is a man searching for his lost dog, who encounters a pneumatic pizza-delivery girl, a jogging neighbour and a “mysterious righter of wrongs”. It’s weird but like Rubber, could be fun. No release date is currently set.

Shame has been picking up plaudits at every festival it’s played at, as well as a fair amount of controversy due to the amount of Michael Fassbender full frontal nudity it features (I know, it’s shocking, Michael Fassbender has a penis!). Now a new, rather intense red-band  trailer has shown up, with cleverly plays on the movie’s theme of sexual addiction with a sequence that’s on the edge between flirtation and something worryingly predatory. In the movie Brandon (Michael Fassbender) is a New Yorker who shuns intimacy with women but feeds his desires with a compulsive addiction to sex. When his wayward younger sister (Carey Mulligan) moves into his apartment stirring memories of their shared painful past, Brandon’s insular life spirals out of control. It’ll be in UK cinemas January 12th, but take a look at the new trailer.

After a rather fuzzy, watermarked version arrived yesterday afternoon, the full, proper John Carter trailer has arrived, and it’s likely to get people a lot more excited that they might have thought. The first teaser made the film look a little cheesy, but this trailer is a whole new ball game, with a much more interesting, fully realised Martian world. Here’s the synopsis: ‘
John Carter tells the tale of war-weary, former military captain John Carter, who is inexplicably transported to Mars where he becomes reluctantly involved in a conflict of epic proportions between the inhabitants of the planet. John Carter – the newest movie from Academy Award®–winning filmmaker Andrew Stanton is an action adventure story set on Barsoom, the exotic and mysterious planet we know as Mars. Based on the classic novel by Edgar Rice Burroughs, creator of Tarzan, John Carter is the story which inspired many of the most imaginative and well known Hollywood movies, past and present. Next year will mark the 100th anniversary of the John Carter character, first created in the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel.’ It arrives in cinemas March 9th.

It may already be out in the US, but Puss In Boots doesn’t reach UK cinemas until December 9th. Before than an extended, five-minute clip from the film has popped up over at MSN, and you can watch it embedded here. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Long before he even met Shrek, the notorious fighter, lover and outlaw Puss in Boots becomes a hero when he sets off on an adventure with the tough and street smart Kitty Softpaws and the mastermind Humpty Dumpty to save his town. This is the true story of The Cat, The Myth, The Legend…The Boots.’ The films had good reviews, so get a feel for it with this lengthy clip.

Zac Efron’s still busy trying to transition from teen sensation to grown up movie star, and one of his next big efforts in The Lucky One. Now the first poster for the new romantic movie has arrived, along with a featurette giving us an early look at the movie (which you can see below, courtesy of Yahoo!). The film sees Zac as a soldier who, after surviving the war in Iraq, travels to North Carolina to find the woman he believes was his good luck charm. It’ll be in cinemas in the UK on May 4th, 2012 (the April 20th date on the poster is the US release).

It’s not out until next Summer, but Universal wants us to get acquainted with The Lorax, probably because despite coming from the mind of Dr. Seuss, he’s not quite as well known over here in the UK as he is in the US. Now a new featurette has arrived to help us get to know the small furball. The animated adventure follows the journey of a boy as he searches for the one thing that will enable him to win the affection of the girl of his dreams. To find it he must discover the story of the Lorax, the grumpy yet charming creature who fights to protect his world. Danny DeVito lends his vocal talents to the title character of the Lorax, while Ed Helms will voice the enigmatic Once-ler. Also bringing their talents to the film are global superstars Zac Efron as Ted, the idealistic young boy who searches for the Lorax, and Taylor Swift as Ashley, the girl of Ted’s dreams. It’s due in UK cinemas July 27th, 2012.
