Movie Media: The Pink Panther 2, Up, 2012, Repo! The Genetic Opera, The Day the Earth Stood Still, 30 Second Bunnies, Dance Flick
Published November 21, 2008
Welcome back to the Movie Media column, featuring trailers, posters, and clips for upcoming films. Some are nice and fresh and some aren't. However, they all have something in common: for better or worse, they all caught my attention. If there is a poster or trailer you think I should check out, be sure to let me know.
This week's movie goodies include posters, trailers, and stills for some feature films and even a couple of behind-the-scenes clips! Hopefully, you'll enjoy taking a gander!
The Pink Panther 2 - Trailer
Seriously? Did they not learn the last time around that this is not the right time for new Clouseau adventures? I guess not. As right for the role as Steve Martin seems, the movie was just not funny. Now we are getting a sequel which looks like more of the same. Maybe it will be different, maybe this will actually be funny. I am not holding my breath.
Up - Trailer
A new Pixar release is always something to celebrate. The past two years have brought us Ratatouille and WALL-E, a couple of surefire classics that will be remembered for years to come. Yes, it will be hard to keep their streak going, but there is always hope. Their next film is called Up and takes you on an adventure with an old man who doesn't even leave his house. The trailer does not excite me all that much, but I am sure this will be a blast.
2012 - Trailer
If you thought that The Day After Tomorrow showed some severe weather, I wonder what 2012 has in store for us. Apparently, the year 2012 has some sort of great significance for many religions and cultures around the world. The movie tells the story of the coming of the end of the world and peoples' struggles to survive. The trailer truly is a teaser, not showing much, but showing enough to make it seem interesting. Surprisingly, both of these films were directed by Roland Emmerich.

I always thought that they'd got the casting the wrong way round with the Pink Panther remake. Wouldn't it have worked so much better with Kevin Kline as Clouseau and Steve Martin as Dreyfus?
Kline turned down playing Clouseau. I saw him talk about it somewhere and here's an interview which makes it even odder for him to be in the movies
