Sportsball Trailer Watch: CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER

If you're not a fan of the Super Bowl, there's always one shining aspect of this night…all the movie trailers!

First up, we have the second trailer for CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER. We were treated to a trailer a few months ago, but this new one looks fantastic.

Here's the synopsis:

After the cataclysmic events in New York with The Avengers, Marvel’s ‘Captain America: The Winter Soldier’ finds Steve Rogers, aka Captain America, living quietly in Washington, D.C. and trying to adjust to the modern world. But when a S.H.I.E.L.D. colleague comes under attack, Steve becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue that threatens to put the world at risk. Joining forces with the Black Widow, Captain America struggles to expose the ever-widening conspiracy while fighting off professional assassins sent to silence him at every turn. When the full scope of the villainous plot is revealed, Captain America and the Black Widow enlist the help of a new ally, the Falcon. However, they soon find themselves up against an unexpected and formidable enemy—the Winter Soldier.

CAPTAIN AMERICA: THE WINTER SOLDIER Trailer Drops!

Marvel's second wave of films started this summer with IRON MAN 3, THOR 2 in a couple weeks, and then we will get Captain America's second film early spring. The first Captain America film was one of the strongest individual films in the Avenger's world, and from the looks of the first official trailer, the sequel looks just as compelling.

The ROBOCOP Trailer Doesn't Need More Black

Having seen ELITE SQUAD 2, there was a sense of optimism when that movie's director, Jose Padilha, was set to direct the ROBOCOP re-make. Both movies have themes of corruption and the "good guys" fighting against societal forces bigger than themselves. Now,thanks to Badass Digest we have the first trailer for the movie. Check it out after the break.

OLD BOY Red Band Trailer Drops!

We may never fully understand the reasons, other than studios wanting to make buckets of money, why remakes are forced upon us. Some remakes end up being just as good or even better than the originals, but when the original is a solid film with a following, it's tough to justify remaking it for American audiences. 

The original OLDBOY was released in 2003 with positive reviews and has grown to a "must see" thriller film. There's been grumblings around the interwebs when an American remake was announced. However, writer Mark Protosevich says he is penning this film based more on the Manga series than the original Korean film. We shall see.

Here's the synopsis:

Joe Doucett (Josh Brolin), an advertising executive is kidnapped and held prisoner for twenty years in solitary confinement. After he is suddenly released, he goes on a mission to find the person responsible for his imprisonment, later discovering that his life is still caught in conspiracy and torment.

THE AVENGERS Teaser Trailer is Here!

Just in time for the holiday season reminding us it is never too early to start thinking about next summer, we have our first look at the new Avengers.





The teaser looks pretty badass with some fun character interactions, but there's almost nothing about the plot of the movie. Someone or something is shooting from space and hating on our big cities as always.  And the earth may perish, but I'll be damned if they won't avenge us!  Also, I guess cool gals don't look at explosions. 

I'm really stoked to see the culmination of years worth of build up. This experiment of having multiple movies set up each of the perspective characters hasn't really been done before, and I'm excited to see them all come together. 

So will this movie experiment pay off?  and I guess the bigger question is....will it beat  THE DARK KNIGHT RISES next summer in at the box office?

Thoughts?  Are you as excited as we are??


THE AVENGERS will be released May 4, 2012 starring Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johannson, Samuel L. Jackson, and Jeremy Renner.
