Matthew McConaughey, Charlize Theron, Rooney Mara and George Takei are the stars of Kubo on the Strings, an intriguing new animated film.

Directed by Travis Knight, I don’t know much about the story, but the visuals in this trailer sure have my attention.

Right now, I’m guessing that  what’s coming is an adventure with a very tiny  but mighty protagonist.

Kubo & The two Strings Release Date (s): August 19th, 2016 (US), September 9th, 2016 (UK)…

THE HUNTSMAN – WINTER’S WAR (2016): New Trailer From Chris Hemsworth, Charlize Theron, Emily Blunt…

I tuned in to the original film, Snow White & The Huntsman (2012), because the trailer was brilliant and Charlize Theron was involved. With The Huntsman Winter’s War, the same reasons for watching apply, but with the added bonus of two more talented ladies, Emily Blunt and Jessica Chastain.

Bring on the fantasy dramatics.

MAD MAX – FURY ROAD (2015): For The Portrayals Of Madness

I remember absolutely nothing about the original Mad Max films. I’m not even sure that I’ve ever properly watched one. However, after seeing the teaser trailer for the 2015 version (Mad Max, Fury Road), it looks to be a fantastic spectacle.

All that’s left for me to do is get in the mood for another apocalyptic tale. Somehow I think Tom Hardy, Charlize Theron and Nicholas Hoult will manage to convince me. After all, what’s more intriguing than portrayals of ‘mad’ by talented Actors? Yes, that’s right. Nothing.

After the tease… The Official Main Trailer >

How amazing was that? Talk About Relentless!

The Final Trailer >

And so the final stretch of the wait until May 7th, 2015 begins.

SNOW WHITE AND THE HUNTSMAN (2012): Great Example of Trailer Perfection

From the beautifully paced editing and perfect choice of music, to the narrative concept, dialogue and visuals/special effects, the Snow White And The Huntsman (2012) trailer provides just enough detail to make you aware that this is a wonderfully different retelling.

The decision to make Charlize Theron the key focus of the trailer is just right. This isn’t a film aimed at the traditional young Disney audience. Hence, the absence of elements that, quite frankly, I’m glad are nowhere to be found. Musical numbers are just one of them.

This tantalisingly dark 1-minute 54-second trailer arrests the senses and refuses to let go until the very last second. What a wonderful marriage of audio-visual delight delivered to perfection.

For many, Kristen Stuart is the big draw, which is unsurprising due to the success of The Twilight Saga. For me, though, without question, it’s Theron.

The tone and delivery of Theron’s performance is such a thrill to behold that to date, I’ve watched the trailer countless times.

The Snow White & The Huntsman trailer has a place in a compilation of my favourite film trailers of 2012. It also makes it on my list of favourite Charlize Theron performances; Monster (2003) is one other.

I can tell you’re also excited.

Happy Film Loving,
