How would you like to see your Avatar? If you’d choose a trailer with very little talk and a focus on the fantasy, please refer to the teaser version released in August. If you’d prefer yours laced with more drama, humans and expository info, than this version might be up your alley.
Although IMAX tickets for the James Cameron film went on sale two months ago, the movie has been overshadowed lately by talk of vampires, Michael Jackson and paranormal activity. This latest clip could get us talking about Pandora and humanoid creatures called the Na’vi again.
Avatar - starring Sam Worthington, Sigourney Weaver, Zoe Saldana Michelle Rodriguez and Giovanni Ribisi - opens December 18.

First Look: Teaser Trailer for Jim Cameron’s Avatar
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: 20th Century Fox, Action, Adventure, Science Fiction, Thrillers, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
“This is great.” Those are the only three words spoken in this clip for the upcoming release of Avatar. And based on the scenes in this brief trailer, it probably will be.
James Cameron‘s 3D sci-fi actioner - his first dramatic feature since Titanic - transports us to “Pandora,” where humans are encroaching on land occupied by the Na’vi, a humanoid race. Sam Worthington (Terminator Salvation) plays a paralyzed marine who enters the lush rainforest with help from the Avatar program.

Although Star Trek doesn’t open stateside until May 9, audiences in London were able to preview the long-anticipated prequel last night. Based on the early reviews, J.J. Abrams has a bona fide hit in his hands:
Times Online: “Just when you thought that the Star Trek phenomenon had truly run its course, along comes J.J. Abrams’s stunning prequel to resuscitate the most enduring franchise in sci-fi history…Abrams’s film is a rollicking space adventure that makes you fall in love with the original series all over again.”

Star Trek Movie Delayed Until Next Year
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Drama, Science Fiction, Sequels, Trailers, Upcoming Releases
Well, it looks like we’re going to have to wait a little longer to beam anyone up.
Those who made it out to see Cloverfield in the past few weeks got a sneak peek at another J.J. Abrams production: Star Trek. (If you haven’t seen the clip yet, you can view it after the jump.) Unfortunately, a major part of that trailer is now no longer true.
The highly-anticipated prequel/sequel was slated to be released ‘Christmas 2008’. What it should have said was ‘December….Give Or Take a Few Months.’
According to Variety, the movie’s premiere will remain ‘under construction’ until May 8, 2009.
The film was simply part of a major reshuffling in Paramount‘s calendar. In most cases, a changed date usually signals bad news; that’s not the case with Trek. In fact, the studio believes the movie will benefit from this shift.
Actors involved in the next installment include Tyler Perry, Winona Ryder, Zoe Saldana, Eric Bana, Zachary Quinto and Leonard Nimoy.

Winona Ryder, ‘House’ Star Join ‘Star Trek’ Film
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Science Fiction, Casting, Upcoming Releases
In the past couple of days, we’ve learned of two more females added to the upcoming Star Trek film. Winona Ryder (The Age of Innocence) and Jennifer Morrison (House) will now be joining actress Zoe Saldana in the male-heavy cast.
Although director J.J. Abrams is being tight-lipped about Morrison’s role in the film, he has denied speculation that she will play secretary Yeoman Rand. Meanwhile Ryder has been cast as Amanda Grayson, the human mother of young Spock (Zachary Quinto). Saldana, as previously announced, will be starring as Lt. Uhura.

Shaun of the Dead’s Simon Pegg Joins ‘Star Trek’ Film
Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Paramount, Adaptation, Drama, Science Fiction, Sequels, Casting, Rumors, Upcoming Releases
Just last week we announced intriguing casting news for the upcoming Star Trek film: Eric Bana as the film’s villian, Nero. (I wonder if this was the part Russell Crowe was rumored for.) Now we have more news to whet your appetites. Actor Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead) is signed on to play Scotty; John Cho (Harold and Kumar) will take over the role of Sulu. With the exception of James T. Kirk (an actor is supposedly being finalized), most of the characters have now been filled. As a refresher:
- John Cho: Sulu
- Simon Pegg: Scotty
- Eric Bana: Nero
- Zoe Saldana (Haven): Uhura
- Anton Yelchin (Alpha Dog): Chekov
- Zachary Quinto (Heroes): young Spock
- Leonard Nimoy: Spock
Not much is known about the script, though it is believed the movie will depict the Enterprise’s early days. Shooting for the J.J. Abrams film will begin in November.
