Major Movie Star

“Now, she’s going to prove, she’s more than just a pretty face.” Hey, is that the girl with the beret from High School Musical asking J. Simp to sign her face? Oh, how the mighty have…moved sideways?

Major Movie Star comes out in 2008 and stars Jessica Simpson and Olesya Rulin.

More trailer reviews after the jump.

Virgin Territory

Despite the fact that, having watched this trailer twice, I still have no idea what the actual plot of the movie is, I have already devised a drinking game for “Virgin Territory”. Drink if Hayden is naked, if someone gets water poured on them, when there’s a sword fight, an elaborate costume, a stupid euphemism—twice if it’s a pun (like the title!), when some goes undercover, and whenever someone has sex. Twice if it’s a nun. Ten minutes in, when you’re hammered, debate whether Hayden and Mischa are ACTUALLY THE SAME PERSON. Or related. They look miiiighty alike…

Virgin Territory’s release date is TBA. It stars Hayden Christensen, Mischa Barton, and Christopher Egan.

And now, two teaser trailers that prove that it doesn’t take much to do this right…

Cloverfield

The whole super-secretive marketing campaign for J.J. Abrams’ (Lost, Alias, various other projects that involve secrets and running fast) new monster movie is somewhere between brilliant and just annoying. But this teaser, as well as the poster with the headless Statue of Liberty, is pretty perfect. Misleading suspense on the opening lines, a genuinely fun-looking party, and then…something. Terror. Running. And then, the only line we really need: “I saw it, it’s alive, it’s huge!”, and the head of the Statue of Liberty. I’ve got chills.

Cloverfield comes out on January, 18, 2008. It stars Michael Stahl-David, Mike Vogel, and Lizzy Caplan.

The Dark Knight

All right, some people won’t like it, but if you’re a fan-girl freak like me, this 60 seconds hits all the selling points—the bat mythology, the “world burning”, the Joker, for just a second, and then, of course, Christian Bale, Michael Caine and (ohgodi’msoexcited) Heath Ledger. Simple, elegant, unsettling, and leaves you wanting more. Teaser, indeed.

The Dark Knight comes out on July 18, 2008 and stars Christian Bale, Michael Caine, and Heath Ledger.
