With American Football and Baseball being America’s national games, it’s not surprising plenty of people in Hollywood want to make movies about them. However outside the US, there are relatively few countries that care about those sports, making films about them a bit of a tough sell. This international trailer for Moneyball tries to get around that by concentrating on the star power of Brad Pitt (and to a smaller extent Jonah Hill), the pedigree of Social Network screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and the human story off the baseball diamond. And in doing so, it makes Moneyball look pretty good. The film is based on the true story of Oakland A’s general manager Billy Beane’s, whose team was failing. However he had limited fund to put things right and decided to put together a baseball club on a budget by employing computer-generated analysis to draft his players – allowing him to put together a team cheaply that was based on its ability to win, rather than its star picks. The film is due out on November 25th.

While the title Margaret isn’t at all descriptive, the movie itself looks like it could be very good. It certainly has an excellent cast including Anna Paquin. Matt Damon, Mark Ruffalo, Matthew Broderick, Kieran Culkin, Allison Janney, Krysten Ritter, and Jean Reno. Margaret is about a 17-year-old New York City high-school student who feels certain that she inadvertently played a role in a traffic accident that has claimed a woman’s life. In her attempts to set things right she meets with opposition at every step. Torn apart with frustration, she begins emotionally brutalising her family, her friends, her teachers, and most of all, herself. She gets confronted quite unexpectedly with a basic truth: that her youthful ideals are on a collision course against the realities and compromises of the adult world. No UK release date is set, but take a look at the trailer below.

It’s a perennial theme in modern indie cinems – a man who’s life is lived without responsibility suddenly learns he has an adolescent child and together they have to come to terms with each other. That’s the set-up for Janie Jones, with Alessandro Nivola and Abigail Breslin as the father and daughter in question. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Rocker Ethan Brand (Alessandro Nivola) and his band, the Ethan Brand Experience, are on the comeback trail when a former flame (Elisabeth Shue) drops a bomb in his lap—their 13-year-old daughter, Janie Jones (Abigail Breslin). Ethan refuses to believe Janie is his kid, but when her mom suddenly leaves for rehab, the child has no place to go but with the band. With no inclination toward fatherhood, Ethan continues his hard-living ways, leaving Janie to fend for herself in the dive bars and sleazy motels along the way. As his drug- and booze-fueled antics take their toll on and off stage, the band deserts him one by one, until he and Janie are left alone. Desperate to finish the tour and revive his career, Ethan stays on the road as a solo act with Janie in tow. As Ethan’s self-destructive spiral threatens to derail his comeback, Janie uses her own surprising musical talents to help guide him down the rocky road to redemption.’ No UK release is set at the moment, but it hits the US at the end of October.

British urban movies have come a long way in the last few years. For a long time they were endlessly grimy movies that always looked like they were made by middle class people intent on pitying the plight of the poor. But thanks to the likes of Kidulthood and others (which actually allowed those who come from urban estates to speak for themselves) it’s become a vibrant category of films that have now started to crossover into other more mainstream genres, such as the sci-fi Attack The Block and comedy Anuvahood earlier this year, and now the slasher-tinged Demons Never Die. The movie has a great cast include Ashley Walters (Bullet Boy), Robert Sheehan (Misfits), Reggie Yates (Radio 1) and Emma Rigby (Hollyoaks), as well as marking the movie debut of N-Dubz and X Factor star Tulisa Contostavlos. It’s even got Idris Elba as an executive producer! The film follows a group of misfits who come together in an unlikely friendship group, forming a suicide pact over the internet. However they are eventually singled out and murdered by a masked killer. It’ll be in UK cinemas on October 28th, but take a look below for the trailer.

There’s no footage from the film in this first American Reunion trailer. Instead it goes on a bit of a nostlgia trip, showing us the American Pie cast as they look now, all back together and getting photobooth pictures. So click below to take a look at Jim, Oz, Stifler and co. The film reunites the cast for their high school reunion, letting us catch up on things since Jim and Michelle’s wedding, and inevitably getting up to new hijinks when they all get back together. The film is due out April 6th, 2012.

It’s difficult to tell with this trailer whether it completely gives away a huge twist in the movie, or whether we’re supposed to know what’s revealed by the end of this promo before we head to the cinema. Let’s hope we are, or this trailer has rather screwed things up. In The Double, the mysterious murder of a US senator bearing the distinctive trademark of the legendary Soviet assassin “Cassius,” forces Paul Shepherdson (Richard Gere), a retired CIA operative, to team with rookie FBI agent, Ben Geary (Topher Grace), to solve the crime. Having spent his career chasing Cassius, Shepherdson is convinced his nemesis is long dead, but is pushed to take on the case by his former supervisor, Tom Highland (Martin Sheen). Meanwhile, Agent Geary, who wrote his Master’s thesis on Shepherdson’s pursuit of the Soviet killer, is certain that Cassius has resurfaced. As Shepherdson and Geary work their way through crimes both past and present, they discover that Cassius may not be the person they always thought him to be, forcing both to re-examine everything and everyone around them. No UK release date is set at the moment.
