Friday Morning round-up….Daybreakers, Jesse, Hitman, ….Halo
Last night I attended Frightfest, which was awesome and I want to get on to talking about that…. but there’s a bunch of new trailers and other good stuff that has been released overnight so lets try and cover it all off in one foul post. BRAP!
The First image from ‘Daybreakers’ has been released (shown left), the new vampire flick from the Spierig Brothers (who did the zombie film ‘Undead’ i’m quite partial to)… the film stars Ethan Hawke, Willem Dafoe, and Sam Neil and WETA are rocking the sfx. Here’s the synopsis:
In the year 2017, a plague has transformed most every human into vampires. Faced with a dwindling blood supply, the fractured dominant race plots their survival; meanwhile, a researcher works with a covert band of vamps on a way to save humankind. a researcher (Hawke) works with a covert group of vamps to a band of humans fight back.

There’s a full Length trailer for *deep breath* ‘The assassination of Robert Ford by the Coward Jesse James’, god i’m not looking forward to saying that over the automatic ticket booking line when it comes out. I seem to recall not being that impressed by the teaser, but the full trailer looks like it kicks it up a gear stylisticly speaking and like it good be a decent western/cowboy drama. Brad Pitt’s doing his thing but I’m more interested to see ‘The Good Affleck’ aka Casey in a bigger role like this…
Check it out here: medium Large Small HD Medium HD Big HD
A new image from ‘Alien vs Predator 2 - Requiem’ goes up on IGN, still looks garbage. here. I have literally no hope for this film being good.
A full length trailer for ‘Hitman’ drops. I don’t even remember if I ever talked about the teaser trailer arriving. I just don’t care enough. I like Olyphant, I’m not sure he’s right for agent 47, and I love the games.. I think really i’m just pupously not getting excited to prepare myself for the worst. Check it: Medium QT Large QT
While i’m on the subject though Xavier Gens (Hitman director) appears to have directed another smaller french film this year called ‘Frontières’ about… neo-nazi backwood cannibals.. HELL YESSSS! youtube trailer here
Oh and Neil Blomkamp obviously REALLY wants to do the Halo movie, but nobody will let him so he’s just making shorts to try and get the fanboys on side. I saw the first one a while back but this one is new, they look cool enough but I think they’re just a little dry… leave me feeling nothing… no excitement.. no joy… no sadness. Like i’ve just watched an industrial film about the manufacturing process of beer bottles.

Thats OK wilkee, I agree with you on a certain level about Blomkamp and I’ve liked the shorts he’s done before, but the Halo ones are just leaving me a little dry.
but they seem to be more like tech tests, showing he can deliver on the visuals front… which is cool but I think he needs to sell the fact he can tell a story to the fans too.
