The Twilight Saga: New Moon hasn’t even hit DVD yet, but Summit Entertainment (and distributor E1 Entertainement on this side of the pond) is keen to keep the ball rolling on the frnachise, and so The Twlight Saga: Eclipse will hit UK cinemas on July 9th, only eight months after the last movie arrived. This time around, the rivalry for Bella’s affections grows between vampire Edward and werewolf Jacob, while she must also decide between mortality and immortality. Now the first trailer for the film has been released, promising more Jacob topless (stop screaming girls), and more tortured Bella and Edward romance. I know it seems popular on movie blogs to kick Twilight, but I like the films, and this looks like it could be pretty entertaining too.
New Robin Hood Trailer – This time with dialogue and everything!
It was noticeable in the first trailer for Ridley Scott’s Robin Hood, that all the studio wanted to do was sell the film’s large scale action. However this time around they’ve set out to show that the movie is going to have dialogue, acting and even a plot! That dastardly King John is once more making the peasant’s life difficult, so Robin and his men must face off against the Sheriff Of Nottingham, robbing from the rich and grumpily giving to the poor (after all, Robin is played by Russell Crowe, who can’t do anything but act grumpy), while flirting with Maid Marian. The new trailer also has a fair bit of action, although there’s yet to be anything released for the film that’s got me very excited. I could be wrong though, as it’s being sold almost like its Gladiator 2, and that pic did pretty well.
The Runaways – Cherry Bomb Music Video – Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning show off their rock chops
The makers of the Cherie Currie and Joan Jett biopic, The Runaways, seem very keen to show off that Dakota Fanning and Kristen Stewart played their own instruments and did their own singing in the film. As a result they’ve released a music video of the duo singing what is perhaps the rock band, The Runaways, most famous song, Cherry Bomb. It’s not as bad as you might expect, and suggests this may actually be a pretty good, gritty flick, which charts the jailbait rockers’ brief career, which saw them rise to fame, but then implode due to drugs, sex and in-fighting.

Valhalla Rising – First Five Minutes – See the opening of Nicolas Refn’s violent Viking flick
The Viking era is getting gritty and very gory in Nicholas Winding Refn’s (Bronson) Valhalla Rising. Now the rather strange but definitely intriguing opening sequence of the film has been released, which is both violent and well worth watching. The film itself is about a mute, one-eyed Viking warrior (Mads Mikkelsen), who’s been kept prisoner by a Norse chieftain, but manages to kill his captors and escape, setting off on a boat into unknown waters. Valhalla Rising is set for release in the UK on April 30th. Be warned though, the clip below is only suitable for those over 18, as it is very violent.
Just Wright Trailer – Queen Latifah as a sports trainer?
Queen Latifah has shown that given the right material she can be one hell of an actress, but she keeps picking dumb projects that waste her talent. Just Wright look likely to be the latter, although it might be okay. In the movie, Latifah stars as a sports trainer (yes, she really does) who falls for the basketball player (Common) she’s working with. However problems arise when it becomes clear her best friend (Paula Patton) is also pursuing him. Click below to watch the trailer.
New Suck Trailer – Fresh promo for the bizarre, rock star filled, vampire musical
Although it has to be said Suck doesn’t look like it’s going to be a masterpiece, it’s intriguing enough that its worth posting the new trailer for it. A musical, comedy, vampire horror, it features cameos from Iggy Pop, Alice Cooper, Henry Rollins, Moby, Carole Pope and more. The main plot sees a rock ‘n’ roll band desperately trying to get a record deal, who find new focus when their sexy bass player (Jessica Pare) gets turned into a bloodsucker. As the rest of the band succumb to the blood lust they become megastars, but discover giving up your soul may be a high price for fame, especially when a legendary vampire hunter (Malcolm McDowell) comes after them. Take a look below for the bizarre new trailer.
