If you picked up Disney's 'The Avengers' this week on Blu-ray (and if you haven't, shame on you and you should go do that right now), you may have noticed that the film comes with a downloadable app for what they've dubbed the 'Avengers Initiative: Marvel Second Screen Experience'. The app plays along with the film on your phone or…

I am really looking forward to 'Cloud Atlas.' The epic new sci-fi fantasy from The Wachowski's and 'Run Lola Run's Tom Tykwer is a sweeping story…

'Looper' remains one of the last of my highly anticipated films of 2012. A time travel gangster action movie from the director of 'Brick?' Come on! The movie stars Joseph Gordon-Levitt as a hitman whose victims are delivered to him…

J.J. Abrams and Edgar Wright are two filmmakers with formidable legions of fans, and deservedly so. Abrams of course created …

French screenwriter/producer/director Luc Besson ('The Fifth Element') is a busy guy. He wrote the script for the…

The latest trailer for Len Wiseman's remake of Paul Verhoeven's 'Total Recall' has just hit the web. It offers plenty of new action shots, some robot fighting, and a few more hints at how the movie will play with perceived reality.…

Joe Cornish ('Attack the Block') has finally chosen his followup project. He will write and direct the big screen adaptation of Neal…

Orson Scott Card's novel

Earlier this year, it was announced that Ridley Scott, after kinda/sorta revisiting the…

David Cronenberg is one of my favorite living directors. Despite the fact that he hasn't dabbled in the horror genre that made him a household name in many, many years, I am still quite looking forward to his upcoming film 'Cosmopolis.' I'm so excited for it, based on its trailer, that I'm even willing to forgive the…

We've seen the announcement for the preview of the teaser, we've seen the daily teasers for the teaser, and now finally at long last we have the actual, honest-to-Zod teaser trailer for Rian Johnson's upcoming sci-fi thriller, 'Looper'. Set in a world where time travel exists (but won't be invented for another couple decades),…

It's not quite a trailer, but it still manages to tease. This little video blurb for director Rian Johnson's upcoming sci-fi actioner 'Looper' hints at what we will see in the first official trailer, which is due to land later this week. The film centers on a time-traveling hitman (…

I'm not the sort of person who likes to watch entire clips of movies online before I actually see them, especially those that reveal the film's opening sequence. However, far be it from me to deprive those that enjoy viewing these clips. To wit, we offer the first five (ish) minutes of 'Lockout.' This sci-fi actioner, co-written by …

One of my most anticipated movies of the year is the sci-fi crime thriller 'Looper' from director Rian Johnson ('Brick'). The film stars Joseph…

They teased you, they warned you, and now the full trailer for Len Wiseman's remake of 'Total Recall' is here. It seems to have enough of the same elements of Paul Verhoeven's original to be recognizable, but the differences should…

D.J. Caruso, the director of 'Disturbia,' 'Eagle Eye,'…

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, I'm baffled by movie marketing these days. Specifically, this new trend of releasing teasers for trailers perplexes me. You know, there was a time when you only saw trailers in the theaters. Now you get big flashy announcements letting you know when the teaser or the trailer for a film will land online. It's as if they want you to set your cyber DVRs to record them or something. But, not one to deprive our faithful Spillios, I humbly submit this…

The upcoming film 'Cosmopolis' is, on paper, a conundrum for me. On the one hand, it's directed by one of the all time greats, and a personal hero, David Cronenberg. On the other hand, it stars Robert Pattinson of…

Rumors have been circulating for months about Len Wiseman's reboot of 'Total Recall' (Co-Host 3000 even got a sneak peak at some props during last year's ComicCon) but now we have your first glimpse at the final product. It looks like Wiseman (producer/director…

The brand new trailer for Ridley Scott's "not-a-prequel" alien film 'Prometheus' is set to premiere on March 17th, and Fox is dead set to squeeze every last drop of marketing buzz out of it that they can. The latest volley in their ad campaign is this preview trailer which contains mostly shots we've already…
