Jurassic World Teaser Trailer

Jurassic World has a tiny little teaser! UPDATE: AND NOW HERE IS THE REAL TEASER!

The teaser for the teaser was the first bit of footage to come from the brand new futuristic dinosaur theme park. Love 'em or hate 'em, the studios think these silly little teaser sting things are here to stay. Trailers for trailers, teasers for teasers; it's all becoming the norm for mega blockbusters with money to throw around and franchise fans chomping at the bit for their first real taste of the films.

As we enter the new Jurassic World gates, it is clear visitors are on tracks, almost like the Jurassic Park ride at Universal Studios. The park is up and running, the dinosaurs are roaming and the guests are floating around in futuristic bubble vehicles. Bryce Dallas Howard and Chris Pratt are clearly in love with each other but also looking a bit moody. She's in front of computers in a white coat and he's in park ranger type clothes. Shame there is no sign of Jake Johnson yet to cheer them both up a bit.

Even the teensy weensy bit of the piano theme is a giant tease. So until Friday here it is...

What do you think? Excited?

Hunger Games Teaser: President Snow's Panem Address

Poor Peeta. Check out Josh Hutcherson in this teaser video for the third Hunger Games movie Mockingjay Part 1. He is brainwashed like so many of the citizens of Panem and is now President Snow's mascot.

Poor old Peeta is about to become a propaganda tool in the fight against the rebellion that will rise with Katniss Everdeen at the centre. This also means that we'll actually get more of a chance to see Katniss getting cosy with Gale as Peeta is going to be far too busy standing still and staring into space at Snow's side.

The third book is probably the weakest of the book series and the decision to split it into two films is perhaps unwise but with marketing like this, we'll just have to wait and see. No matter what, it will be good to see Katniss out of the arena and into a real war, and this will also be the final chance to witness Philip Seymour Hoffman's majesty on screen.

Does anyone else get a creepy Michael Jackson/Jimmy Saville-like vibe from the President in this video?

Panem forever baby...

Transformers 4 teaser trailer is long but promising

Aren't teaser trailers supposed to be short, mysterious, and well... teaser-y? The Transformers: Age of Extinction teaser clocks in at a whopping 2 minutes and 33 seconds, begging the question: how the hell long is the theatrical trailer going to be? Will it be 6 minutes of Baysplosions, Nicola Peltz being ridiculously good looking and Wahlberg doing an admirable job of adding some gravity to proceedings?

I went into this trailer expecting the worst. The Superbowl snippet left me completely underwhelmed. The inclusion of the Dinobots doesn't excite me and the focus on the effects and big action scenes just didn't make my jaw drop the way it did the first time I saw Bay's Transformers. After the two robotic and head pounding sequels, I was ready to give Age of Extinction a miss. I always liked the comedy that Shia brought to it too so the thought of Mark Wahlberg getting all serious with the franchise wasn't too appealing.

But this teaser actually brought me back from the brink. It might not strictly be much of a tease, looking like it reveals a hell of a lot more than it should but at least there is some sense of the characters and the new story that will bring the Transformers back to life. There are also hints that it will not ignore the events of past Transformers movies which is kind of cool. Though Nicola Peltz looks like a very typical Michael Bay hand picked 'hot girl' in need of rescue, Wahlberg and his mechanic character and father looks like he might be interesting enough to keep us all engaged beyond the promise of explosions and giant robots beating the shit out of each other.

Superbowl spot

There's also three new posters that declare that 'the rules have changed'. I don't know what rules they are on about but at least we get a good look at the three main characters.
