Blood is splattered and heads roll in the new red band trailer for ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER. The film explores the secret life of our 16^th president and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov (director of “Wanted”) bring a fresh voice to the bloodthirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER presents the Great Emancipator as the country’s first superhero.  Notes producer Tim Burton:  “Lincoln’s entire life mirrors the classic comic book superhero mythology.  It’s a duality:  during the day he’s the president of the United States; at night, a vampire hunter.”

That dichotomy is at the core of the Lincoln we meet in the film.  “He was ordinary and extraordinary at the same time,” says director Timur Bekmambetov.  Adds screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith, who adapted his best-selling novel of the same name:  “Lincoln’s life story is an archetypal superhero origin story.  He’s as close to an actual superhero as this country’s ever seen.  Forget about vampires.  Lincoln had neither family name nor money.  His mother died when he was a youngster.  In fact, everybody he loved had died. With no education, and armed with just his mind, he became president and saved the nation.”

ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER stars Benjamin Walker as the titular hero; Dominic Cooper as Henry Sturges, Lincoln’s mentor in vampire hunting; Anthony Mackie as William Johnson, Lincoln’s valet and friend; and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Mary Todd Lincoln, Abe’s wife. The screenplay is by Seth Grahame-Smith and Simon Kinberg, based on the novel by Seth Grahame-Smith. The producers are Tim Burton, Timur Bekmambetov, and Jim Lemley.

Adapted from Seth Grahame-Smith’s book, 20th Century Fox’s ABRAHAM LINCOLN: VAMPIRE HUNTER will be in theaters June 22.

Watch the new red-band trailer for the action-comedy 21 JUMP STREET. In the film, Schmidt (Jonah Hill) and Jenko (Channing Tatum) are more than ready to leave their adolescent problems behind. Joining the police force and the secret Jump Street unit, they use their youthful appearances to go undercover in a local high school. As they trade in their guns and badges for backpacks, Schmidt and Jenko risk their lives to investigate a violent and dangerous drug ring. But they find that high school is nothing like they left it just a few years earlier – and neither expects that they will have to confront the terror and anxiety of being a teenager again and all the issues they thought they had left behind.

I’m more than a little disappointed by the trailer – its nothing like the TV show. I wont go as far as saying they totally ruined it, but it just seems like another idiot comedy.

Check out the very bloody red-band trailer for the prequel of Universal Pictures’ THE THING (via IGN). Man is still the warmest place to hide.

Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost known as Thule Station. There, a crew of international scientists has unearthed a remarkable discovery. But elation quickly turns to terrifying paranoia in the thriller The Thing, as the group of researchers encounters something inhuman that has the ability to turn itself into an exact replica of any living being.

Columbia University paleontologist Dr. Kate Lloyd (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’s MARY ELIZABETH WINSTEAD) has left behind the safety of her sterile laboratory and traveled to this desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime.

Joining a Norwegian research team led by Edvard Wolner (Fallen Angels’ TROND ESPEN SEIM) that has stumbled across a creature buried in the ice, Kate – along with fellow explorers Dr. Sander Halvorson (Season of the Witch’s ULRICH THOMSEN) and Adam (NCIS: Los Angeles’ ERIC CHRISTIAN OLSEN)—discovers an organism that seems to have died in the ice eons ago.

When a simple experiment near this outpost frees the thing from its frozen prison, Kate must join the pilot, Carter (Warrior’s JOEL EDGERTON), and his sidekick, Jameson (Lost’s ADEWALE AKINNUOYE-AGBAJE), to keep it from killing everyone and anything it encounters. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite suddenly mimics anything it touches…pitting human against human as it fights to survive and flourish.

The Thing, which serves as a prelude to John Carpenter’s classic 1982 film of the same name, is directed by MATTHIJS VAN HEIJNINGEN in his feature-film debut. The thriller is written by ERIC HEISSERER (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and based on the classic story of terror “Who Goes There?” by JOHN W. CAMPBELL JR.

THE THING will hit theaters October 14, 2011.

In this new red-band trailer, Ryan Reynolds and Jason Bateman star in THE CHANGE-UP, from director David Dobkin (Wedding Crashers), writers Jon Lucas & Scott Moore (The Hangover) and producer Neal Moritz (Fast & Furious, Click).Time to send the kids out of the room, because this trailer for the R-rated comedy takes the traditional body-switching movie, ties it up tightly and throws it off a cliff.

Synopsis:

Growing up together, Mitch (Reynolds) and Dave (Bateman) were inseparable best friends, but as the years have passed they’ve slowly drifted apart. While Dave is an overworked lawyer, husband and father of three, Mitch has remained a single, quasi-employed man-child who has never met a responsibility he liked. To Mitch, Dave has it all: beautiful wife Jamie (Leslie Mann), kids who adore him and a high-paying job at a prestigious law firm. To Dave, living Mitch’s stress free life without obligation or consequence would be a dream come true.

Following a drunken night out together, Mitch and Dave’s worlds are turned upside down when they wake up in each other’s bodies and proceed to freak the &*#@ out.

Despite the freedom from their normal routines and habits, the guys soon discover that each other’s lives are nowhere near as rosy as they once seemed. Further complicating matters are Dave’s sexy legal associate, Sabrina (Olivia Wilde), and Mitch’s estranged father (Alan Arkin). With time not on their side, Mitch and Dave comically struggle to avoid completely destroying each other’s lives before they can find away to get their old ones back.

From Universal Pictures, THE CHANGE-UP will be in theaters on August 11, 2011.

Check out the raunchy, restricted, R-rated trailer for Universal Pictures’ YOUR HIGHNESS. Definitely NOT safe for any younglings that might be within eye or earshot.

Synopsis:

Throughout history, tales of chivalry have burnished the legends of brave, handsome knights who rescue fair damsels, slay dragons and conquer evil. But behind many a hero is a good-for-nothing younger brother trying just to stay out of the way of those dragons, evil and trouble in general. Danny McBride and James Franco team up for an epic comedy adventure set in a fantastical world—Your Highness. As two princes on a daring mission to save their land, they must rescue the heir apparent’s fiancée before their kingdom is destroyed.

Thadeous (McBride) has spent his life watching his perfect older brother Fabious (Franco) embark upon valiant journeys and win the hearts of his people. Tired of being passed over for adventure, adoration and the throne, he’s settled for a life of wizard’s weed, hard booze and easy maidens. But when Fabious’ bride-to-be, Belladonna (Zooey Deschanel), gets kidnapped by the evil wizard Leezar (Justin Theroux), the king gives his deadbeat son an ultimatum: Man up and help rescue her or get cut off.

Half-assedly embarking upon his first quest, Thadeous joins Fabious to trek across the perilous outlands and free the princess. Joined by Isabel (Natalie Portman)—an elusive warrior with a dangerous agenda of her own—the brothers must vanquish horrific creatures and traitorous knights before they can reach Belladonna. If Thadeous can find his inner hero, he can help his brother prevent the destruction of his land. Stay a slacker, and not only does he die a coward, he gets front row seats to the dawn of an all-new Dark Ages.

From Universal Pictures, YOUR HIGHNESS will be in theaters on April 8, 2011. Check out the film’s official site here and “Like” it on Facebook HERE.

Some teachers just don’t give an F. For example, there’s Elizabeth (Cameron Diaz). She’s foul-mouthed, ruthless, and inappropriate. She drinks, she gets high, and she can’t wait to marry her meal ticket and get out of her bogus day job. When she’s dumped by her fiancé, she sets her plan in motion to win over a rich, handsome substitute (Justin Timberlake) — competing for his affections with an overly energetic colleague, Amy (Lucy Punch). When Elizabeth also finds herself fighting off the advances of a sarcastic, irreverent gym teacher (Jason Segel), the consequences of her wild and outrageous schemes give her students, her coworkers, and even herself an education like no other.

Bishop has always acted alone but he can’t turn his back on Harry’s son. A methodical hit man takes an impulsive student deep into his world and a deadly partnership is born. But while in pursuit of their ultimate mark, deceptions threaten to surface and those hired to fix problems become problems themselves.

Say what you will about George Romero and the way the veteran director’s recent works have gone, it always excites us when we hear a new Romero/…OF THE DEAD film is on the horizon.  SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD is absolutely no exception, and, today, thanks to the fine folks over at IGN, we have the latest trailer.  Not only is it a trailer, it’s a red-band, ladies and gentlemen, so you know the red stuff is going to be well on display.

Without further ado, check it out right here and now:

Okay. Okay.  It might not feature the best special effects around, and the acting on display in this trailer doesn’t leave much to be desired.  That said, who can, honestly, say they aren’t a little bit excited to see this film.  If for nothing else, it can’t be as bad as DIARY OF THE DEAD, right?  Right?

SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD hits theaters on May 28th.  It premieres on VOD, Amazon, Xbox Zune and Playstation on April 30th.

I know that SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD played Fantastic Fest last September, and I remember hearing fairly good things.  However, I am not feeling the level of energy behind the people championing this film like I was the people denigrating George Romero’s last zombie flick, DIARY OF THE DEAD.  Nonetheless, whether people are excited for this film or not, and despite my own, personal distaste for DIARY, I am always excited to see a new, Romero …OF THE DEAD film.  This one is no exception.

That is why I am not going to watch this red-band trailer for SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD.  I’ll have no problem watching a green-band trailer, but, when it comes to films like this, it seems the red-band is there, because the trailer shows some gore.  I want to go into SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD without any preconceived knowledge of any of the deaths in the film.

That’s not to say you can’t check it out.  Right here, even.  It comes to us courtesy of Bloody-Disgusting:

Was it good enough?  Does it entice you back to Romero’s world of zombies?  Were you even a fan of DIARY OF THE DEAD?  Let us know by shooting us a comment in the section below.

SURVIVAL OF THE DEAD hits Video On Demand, XBOX Live, Playstation and Amazon on April 30th.  It gets a theatrical release on May 28th.  Survive that!

The question of whether the 30-second MacGruber skits on SNL can translate to the big screen or not is one step closer, as Rogue Pictures released the trailer for MACGRUBER today.   My money is betting on “No,” and, after watching this trailer, which you can view right now over at Rogue’s official site, that “Yes” isn’t making itself any more evident.

The first half of this trailer is completely devoid of laughs, and then the red-band-ness of it all kicks in, and there are a couple of chuckles here and there.   It still isn’t selling it for me, and I couldn’t help but notice even with this being red-band there is still some obvious dubbing going on here.

What the f*@% is up with that?

Nevertheless, anything with Powers Boothe and Val Kilmer is win enough to get my hard-earned cash.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Only one American hero has earned the rank of Green Beret, Navy SEAL and Army Ranger.   Just one operative has been awarded 16 Purple Hearts, 3 Congressional Medals of Honor and 7 Presidential Medals of Bravery.   And only one guy is man enough to still sport a mullet.   In 2010, Will Forte brings Saturday Night Live’s clueless soldier of fortune to the big screen in the action comedy of MACGRUBER.

Check out these official stills:

MACGRUBER hits theaters on April 23rd.
