Trailers Week 39: 5/04/2015

The 33:

A joint USA/Chile project, The 33 tells the story of the 33 Chilean miners that were trapped underground for a record 69 days after a mine collapse. Directed by Patricia Riggen, it stars, among others, Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche and James Brolin.

Masterminds:

This teaser sees Zach Galifianakis, Kristen Wiig and Owen Wilson star in a comedy heist movie that has some promise, even if it is just to see Galifianakis in a ridiculous wig, putting on a southern accent.

Survivor:

If there's one thing Pierce Brosnan does well, it's action. Survivor sees the suave actor as some sort of watch-making villainous terrorist, which will be no doubt entertaining to watch. Also starring Milla Jovovich, Dylan McDermott, and directed by James McTeigue of V for Vendetta fame.

The Gift:

The Gift seems like one of the usual psychological thrillers that has been done many times before, with a bit of a One Hour Photo vibe. I kinda wish Jason Bateman and Joel Edgerton had switched places here because I'd love to see what Bateman would be like as a psychopath.

The D Train:

This comedy...well, what can I say...It's a high school reunion planning film. Starring Jack Black and James Marsden.

Aurora:

Aurora may seem like another Sci-Fi film along the lines of other similar releases (apart from the fact that it's framed as a "twisted robot love story"??) but as far as I know, it's been mainly funded through a kickstarter campaign. For a crowd-funded feature with an estimated budget of $100,000, it looks incredibly visually impressive .

Mad Max: Fury Road (Trailer #2):

I know we've already seen a couple of teasers and a main trailer for Fury Road, but this latest trailer gives us some more hints about the characters and plot. Supposedly much of the action is practical effects, in keeping with the rest of the series, and I'm certain long-term fans of the series will want to see this.

Fantastic Four:

This teaser is in English, but has Japanese text, what more could you want?! But seriously, there's nothing more to say until Marvel can prove this isn't just another shitty reboot.
