“Attack the Block” the new “Goonies”?

Posted on March 15, 2011 by The Filmsmith | Leave a comment

Attack the Block is one of the current stand-out films of the South by Southwest Film Festival (SXSW) and with good reason: a film co-written and starring Nick Frost (Ed from Shaun of the Dead, who also co-wrote the hilarious Paul) about inner-city kids battling invading aliens looks like great fun.

Full trailer for Danny Boyle’s “127 Hours”

Posted on October 9, 2010 by The Filmsmith | Leave a comment

There has already been a teaser trailer for 127 Hours, so this is the first full length trailer. I would like to persuade you though: if you’re a die-hard Boyle fan, just wait to see the film. If you’re genuinely curious about the film, go right ahead. I just feel that trailers give too much and there’s something to be said for going into a movie mostly blind. It’ll feel fresher if you haven’t already seen it on a tiny laptop screen a month ago.

More faux-trailers from Grindhouse receiving full length treatment?

Posted on September 4, 2010 by The Filmsmith | 1 comment

Over at Rope of Silicon, they’ve posted a re-vamped version of the Grindhouse fake trailer, Hobo with a Shotgun. If you didn’t see it, you’re probably in the U.S. as it was a trailer screened mostly in Canada. The original trailer fit the Grindhouse experience with a ridiculous title that matched its content:

Just like Machete, the trailer has birthed a full length film. The trailer for the feature has been released – featuring Rutger Hauer as the hobo with a shotgun.

Darren Aronofsky’s Black Swan Trailer

Posted on August 18, 2010 by The Filmsmith | 1 comment

imdb.com has the release date set for December 1, 2010.

And here I thought the film might be a bit boring from the synopsis and the trailer is more f*cked up than I could have imagined. Guess Aronofsky won’t break into the comedy genre anytime soon considering this path of trauma that is his filmography.*

*Comments aside, love his work.

“Illegal” Machete Trailer Released!

Posted on May 5, 2010 by The Filmsmith | 4 comments

Over at Ain’t It Cool News, Harry Knowles is saying that Robert Rodriguez and Danny Trejo stopped by to give him an “illegal” trailer for the upcoming release of once-Grindhouse trailer, now full length feature, Machete.

Evidently the plot of the film is in line with the current anti-immigration fervor in Arizona, so given the political resonance, the trailer is a message for Arizona.

Here was the fake trailer put together for Grindhouse:

Soon after Grindhouse, Rodriguez began making a full movie from the Machete trailer. It will be released September 3, 2010.

The cast for the film is ridiculous: Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro, Steven Seagal, Michelle Rodriguez, Tom Savini, and Lindsay Lohan make up this Mexploitation of awesomeness.
