A New Trailer for American Reunion

A new trailer has been released for the fourth theatrical American Pie film, American Reunion. It sees all of the cast members returning to where they first hooked up, and finding out how their lives have changed.

In the comedy American Reunion, all theAmerican Pie characters we met a little more than a decade ago are returning to East Great Falls for their high-school reunion. In one long-overdue weekend, they will discover what has changed, who hasn’t and that time and distance can’t break the bonds of friendship. It was summer 1999 when four small-town Michigan boys began a quest to lose their virginity. In the years that have passed, Jim and Michelle married while Kevin and Vicky said goodbye. Oz and Heather grew apart, but Finch still longs for Stifler’s mom. Now these lifelong friends have come home as adults to reminisce about—and get inspired by—the hormonal teens who launched a comedy legend.

American Reunion is released in Australia on 5 April 2012 from Universal.

Pinnacle Films has sent over a trailer and poster for New Zealand’s Sione’s 2: Unfinished Business, the long awaited sequel to 2006’s Sione’s Wedding.

Five years ago our heroes the Duckrockers thought they had figured it all out – they had found themselves girlfriends to take to Siones wedding and the future was looking bright. Fast-forward five years and things havent quite gone as the boys might have planned: Albert is now married to Tania and they are living in suburbia, both working in insurance and also trying (unsuccessfully) to have a baby; Sefa and Leilani are still together and now have two kids although despite Sefas proposal, theyre still not married. And while Sefas business is falling apart, Leilani seems to be living life to the full; Stanley is now a trainee Deacon in the Future Church; Michael has moved to Australia but the boys dont hear from him often; and Bolo has thrown in his job with Sefa and taken up work with Sione, Michaels younger brother.

Sione’s 2: Unfinished Business is released in Australia on 1 March 2012 from Pinnacle Films.

Teaser Trailer for Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter Revealed

Time Magazine has released a new teaser trailer for the first of two Abraham Lincoln films coming out this year. While the later one will be a prestige film from Steven Spielberg, the first certainly has the attention of the geeks, recasting the 16th US president as a vampire hunter. It is based on the 2010 mashup novel from Seth Grahame-Smith, the author of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies.

The official synopsis reads: Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of our greatest President, and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of Wanted) bring a fresh and visceral voice to the blood-thirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.

The film stars the likes of Benjamin Walker, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Anthony Mackie, Dominic Cooper, Alan Tudyk, Jimmi Simpson and Rufus Sewell. The trailer plays without any sense of fun, which we think is needed for this kind of film. Let’s hope this finds an audience, as it is the kind of mashup madness that this ship we call the 21st century needs.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is released in Australian on 21 June 2012 from Fox. It is released on 22 June 2012 in the US.

As you may have guessed from our new banner up top, the season of romance is upon us! China Lion has just released a new trailer for Love, the latest romantic film for the season from Doze Nui Chen-Zer.

Synopsis: We’ve all been touched by love, but no one really understands it, nor can anyone explain why we do the things we do when we are in love. This is a story that happened in two cities, Taipei and Beijing. A story about eight lonely people searching for love. All that happened and every sacrifice that was made all for Love. Starring screen siren Shu Qi (If You Are The One 1 & 2, The Transporter) and directed by Doze Niu Chen Zer (Monga, What On Earth Have I Done Wrong).

If you care about seeing Asian cinema in Australia on the big screen, we encourage you to go out and support the regular screenings at selected Event Cinemas and the regular Asian Cinema screenings at Hoyts Cinemas. Increasingly they are day-and-date with their Chinese release, so there are no excuses for that ‘other method’ of acquiring them.

Love is released in Australia on 23 February 2012 from China Lion.

Official Poster and Trailer for The Bourne Legacy

Universal (via iTunes Trailers) has released the new trailer and poster for The Bourne Legacy, the highly successful spy franchise based on the Robert Ludlum novels. As it turns out, “There was never just one”.

The narrative architect behind the Bourne film series, Tony Gilroy, takes the helm in the next chapter of the hugely popular espionage franchise that has earned almost $1 billion at the global box office: The Bourne Legacy. The writer/director expands the Bourne universe created by Robert Ludlum with an original story that introduces us to a new hero (Jeremy Renner) whose life-or-death stakes have been triggered by the events of the first three films. For The Bourne Legacy, Renner joins fellow series newcomers Rachel Weisz, Edward Norton, Stacy Keach and Oscar Isaac, while franchise veterans Albert Finney, Joan Allen, David Strathairn and Scott Glenn reprise their roles.

At first we were skeptical about this new inclusion in the franchise, as any Bourne film without Matt Damon seems a bit wrong. Yet the presence of Tony Gilroy, original cast members and an attempt to not simply replace Damon with another actor, but rather create a whole new storyline that is set in the same world, is a wise move on Universal’s part. Plus, Renner can’t do wrong at the moment.

The Bourne Legacy is released on 2 August 2012 in the US and 16 August 2012 in Australia from Universal.

The Untold Story The Amazing Spider-man Trailer Arrives Online

After debuting at screenings across the world today, including one we attended in Sydney, Sony Pictures has now debuted the full trailer for The Amazing Spider-man online. This is a very different take on Spider-man, and while it is slightly darker, this trailer (combined with the footage we saw today) is the Spider-man we love: full of wisecracks, impossibly agile movements, and yes, web-shooters.

The Amazing Spider-Man is the story of Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield), an outcast high schooler who was abandoned by his parents as a boy, leaving him to be raised by his Uncle Ben (Sheen) and Aunt May (Field). Like most teenagers, Peter is trying to figure out who he is and how he got to be the person he is today. Peter is also finding his way with his first high school crush, Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone), and together, they struggle with love, commitment, and secrets. As Peter discovers a mysterious briefcase that belonged to his father, he begins a quest to understand his parents’ disappearance – leading him directly to Oscorp and the lab of Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans), his father’s former partner. As Spider-Man is set on a collision course with Connors’ alter-ego, The Lizard, Peter will make life-altering choices to use his powers and shape his destiny to become a hero.

The Amazing Spider-man is released on 3 July 2012 in the US and 4 July 2012 in Australia from Sony.
