The marketing for X-Men: First Class has been kind of interesting, largely because it’s being produced on such a tight schedule that while blockbusters normally sell themselves on their effects, First Class hasn’t had as many of those ready, so it’s tended to be more talky than normal. Now two new trailers have emerged – a US and international one – which are still fairly talky, but do show off quite a lot more of the scale of the flick. The two trailers are fairly similar, but there’s enough different footage to make it worth watching them both. James McAvoy and Michael Fassbender star as young versions of Charles Xavier (Professor X) and Erik Lenscherr (Magneto), who were friends before becoming enemies, and as this trailer shows, had a lot to deal with in the 60s, when a new species of mutants was emerging and the world was on the precipice of nuclear war.

It’s a bit difficult to know what to think of The Devil’s Double. A film about the guy asked to be the body double for Saddam Hussein’s son Uday is certainly intriguing, but this trailer makes it look a bit like the sort of thing you’d expect Danny Dyer to star in, except with a bit more expensive. Lee Tamahori, who’s never quite fulfilled the promise of Once Were Warriors, directs the film which is set in Bagdad, the playground for the rich and infamous, where anything can be bought – but for a price. This is Uday Hussein’s (Dominic Cooper) world and with his depraved lust for debauchery and immorality, he helps himself to whatever turns him on. When army lieutenant Latif Yahia (also Cooper), is summoned to Saddam’s palace, he is faced with an impossible request – to be Uday’s ‘fiday’ – his body double, or have his family condemned to death. In a world entrenched in betrayal and corruption knowing who to trust becomes a matter of life or death for Latif, as he battles to escape from his forced existence. The movie is due in UK cinemas August 12th.

While most wedding comedies are generic pap, Bridemaids looks like it might be something a bit more interesting. The initial billing as ‘a female Hangover’ was a little dubious (largely because every comedy is now compared to The Hangove, and few have lived up to that), but the response from early screenings has been superb, suggesting this may well be an R-rated treat. Now some character posters and a new red band trailer has arrived, concentrating on the ruder aspects of the movie, including why shagging Jon Hamm may not be that great. Kristen Wiig (who also co-wrote the movie) leads the way as Annie, who’s asked by her best friend (Maya Rudolph) to be her maid of honour. However when the other bridesmaids (Rose Byrne, Melissa McCarthy, Wendi McLendon-Covey and Ellie Kemper) get involved things get ever more complicated. It’s due in cinemas this May, but take a look below for the new trailer and six new character posters that have just been released.

Whenever Tarsem Singh (The Cell, The Fall) is hired to direct a movie, you know it may not be perfect, but it’ll look amazing. While some had wondered whether going fairly big budget with Immortals would force him to tone things down, this first trailer shows it’s not going to look quite like anything we’ve seen before. The immediate comparison is 300, but this looks perhaps even more idiosyncratic and stylised. The film stars Henry Cavill (who is of course now going to to Superman). Here’s the synopsis: ‘As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece in search of a legendary weapon, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.

‘The brutal and bloodthirsty King Hyperion (Mickey Rourke) and his murderous Heraklion army are rampaging across Greece in search of the long lost Bow of Epirus. With the invincible Bow, the king will be able to overthrow the Gods of Olympus and become the undisputed master of his world. With ruthless efficiency, Hyperion and his legions destroy everything in their wake, and it seems nothing will stop the evil king’s mission.

‘As village after village is obliterated, a stonemason named Theseus (Henry Cavill) vows to avenge the death of his mother in one of Hyperion’s raids. When Theseus meets the Sybelline Oracle, Phaedra (Freida Pinto), her disturbing visions of the young man’s future convince her that he is the key to stopping the destruction. With her help, Theseus assembles a small band of followers and embraces his destiny in a final desperate battle for the future of humanity’

The film is due in cinemas November 11th.

Anna Faris has been a little bit of a slapper, or at least her character in What’s Your Number? has. After deciding to revaluate her life and her failure to find a man who sticks, she decides to look up the past 20 guys she slept with, find out what went wrong and whether they’ve improved with time. And to help her, she takes friend Chris Evans along for the ride (and what’s the odds he’s her true love?). What’s Your Number? hits cinemas this autumn. Click below for the trailer.

With Scrubs ended, Zach Braff has some time to make some movies, and as with many of his film choices, The High Cost Of Living is a bit indie and away from the mainstream. It got an okay reception at the Toronto International Film Festival, and should be heading to cinemas later this year. Henry (Braff) makes a wrong turn and crashes into Nathalie (Isabelle Blais). In a fit of panic, and over the legal limit, he cuts and runs, leaving Nathalie lying in the street, unconscious, bleeding and eight months pregnant. She wakes up in the hospital only to find her bright future destroyed and the baby she is still carrying, dead. Her husband, Michel (Patrick Labbé) is too unnerved and emotionally bereft to deal with the tragedy. As her life unravels, she stumbles across Henry – who has been searching for his victim. Unaware of what he has done, Nathalie sees him as an unlikely guardian angel, everything Michel is not – compassionate, charming and a little crazy. She finds a welcome relief in the tall, rumpled stranger that seems only too willing to offer her refuge. But Henry has his own problems. His past misdeeds are catching up, and he soon discovers that the police are steadily closing in. The inevitable collision will force both Henry and Nathalie to confront loss, labour and life, and to ultimately decide whether the cost of living is worth the price.
