Disney has started the push for Cars 2, with new concept art arriving yesterday, and now the first brief teaser trailer showing up online today. There’s no actual footage from the flick and it’s very short, but it’s nevertheless our first look at the return of Lightning McQueen and his friend Mater. The movie hits UK cinemas July 22nd, 2011, but click below for the first teaser.

Pixie Lott is making her movie debut with the comedy Fred: The Movie, which hits UK cinemas on December 17th. In what must be a bit of a first, the film takes a character created for Youtube – Lucas Cruikshank’s overexcited Fred (which was the first Youtube channel to have over a million subscribers) – and gives it the big screen treatment, taking Brit pop star Lott along for the ride. Fred (Cruikshank) is in love with the girl next door, Judy (Lott), But his nemesis neighbour, Kevin, thwarts all attempts Fred makes to see her, and when he finally succeeds in making it over to Judy’s house – she’s moved! With the advice of his super cool dad (WWE’s John Cena), Fred embarks on an epic journey to find her. While Fred really is a love him or loath him character, and whether he can stand up to going from homemade Internet shorts to feature film is still up in the air, click below to take a look at the trailer.

Although the score for this new trailer for The Fighter seems completely random and ill-fitting, it nevertheless lets us see plenty of new footage from David O’Russell’s film starring Mark Wahlberg, Christian Bale and Amy Adams. The movie based on the true story of Boston fighter “Irish” Mickey Ward and how he was helped to the world lightweight championship by half-brother Dicky Eklund. Eklund once decked Sugar Ray Leonard and went the distance against the boxing legend before forfeiting his career to drugs and crime. He redeemed himself by training Ward through his Rocky-like run to the title. Originally attached to an episode of Mad Men in the US, take a look below for the new trailer.

US trailers for foreign-language films are odd beasts, laregely because the marketeers don’t want to admit there’ll be subtitles, so nobody really says all that much, and instead you just get a lot of random, pretty pictures. That’s certainly true of this first US promo for Alejandro González Iñárritu’s Biutiful, which won Javier Bardem the Best Actor prize at Cannes. Although you wouldn’t know it from this trailer, Javier Bardem plays Uxbal, a survivor on the invisible margins in today’s Barcelona, who tries to reconcile with love and save his children, as he tries to save himself. Involved in illegal dealing, his life changes when he is confronted by his childhood friend, who is now a policeman. The film will hit UK cinemas on January 28th, 2011.

Produced by Ron Howard and directed by Gus Van Sant, Restless certainly has a good pedigree, even if this trailer makes it look a bit odd. Mia Wasikowska and Henry Hopper (son of Dennis, star as two outsiders who come together and forge a relationship. While that sounds pretty straightforward, she’s a mental patient, while he’s a funeral-crasher whose best friend is a ghost. It’s the sort of film that could be great, or which could be trying way too hard. It’ll be interesting to see which side it falls when it’s released early next year.

We’ve been waiting a long time for Simon Pegg and Nick Frost to get back together in front of the camera, and while there’s no Edgar Wright directing this time (it’s Superbad’s Greg Mottola instead), this just released teaser certainly suggests Paul should be a lot of fun. Pegg and Frost, who also wrote the script, play two British comic-book geeks on a journey across the US, who have an extra-terrestrial encounter outside Area 51, and end up teaming up with a little alien (voiced by Seth Rogen). Take a look at the fun teaser below.
