Coming Soon

There's a slue of new movie trailers of interest out on the Net right now.

First and most interesting is the one for Rescue Dawn. It's directed by the Conquistador of the Useless himself, Werner Herzog. It stars Christian Bale as a US fighter pilot during the Vietnam War who is shot down in Laos and must stuggle to survive. Perfect fodder for Herzog's mania over people being pushed to extremes who fall prey to their own manias.

Next we have the trailer for perhaps the only person in Hollywood who refuses to admit the Holocaust happened, Mel Gibson. Even if his views offend you, as they do me, watch the trailer anyway because it looks to be one gorgeous film.

Next we have a film that's destined to be a box-office smash, The Da Vinci Code. It looks to be a fun romp.

There is also a new trailer for V For Vendetta. While there's no doubt that Alan Moore will hate it and emerge from his hermetic existence to lambaste the film, it could prove to be a fun watch for folks who can refrain from comparing it to the graphic novel. As long as we're on the topic of Hollywood ruining Moore's material, it looks like Watchmen may still have a pulse.
