The full trailer for T2 – Trainspotting 2, the sequel to the 1999 cult classic Trainspotting is here; with Ewan McGregor, Jonny Lee Miller, Robert Carlyle, Ewan Bremner and more reprising their original roles…

Funny, fast, scary (not in the horror movie sense) and dramatic are words that fit and I just love that ‘man on chair off the roof’ moment at 1:03. I’d love to know how that was shot. I imagine with plent of very soft padding at the end of quite a short drop. Come on January!

T2 – Trainspotting Release Dates: January 27th, 2017 (UK); February 10th, 2017 (US)…

The teaser trailer for the sequel to Trainspotting (1996) is here. Directed by Danny boyle and starring Ewan McGregor,  Robert Carlyle, Jonny Lee Miller and Ewen Bremner, this teaser, I can promise is not as pointless as the previous one for there is a little something to get the imagination of fans of the original going…

In all honesty, I can barely remember what happens in the first film. Something to do with having actually never seen it, perhaps. Or I may have  just forgotten since it was released 20 years ago.

I am ready now though and I look forward to finding out about all the hype before the second instalment gets here. Something tells me that regardless of the title the movie probably has very little indeed to do with actual train spotting. I could be wrong of course.

AMERICAN PASTORAL (2016): New Trailer From Ewan McGregor, Dakota Fanning & Jennifer Connelly

Based on the novel by Philip Roth, Ewan McGregor’s new movie, American Pastoral is set in postwar America and centres around a man whose previously perfect seeming life is abruptly changed when his daughter’s new political affiliations come to light…

Also starring Jennifer Connelly, Uzo Aduba and Dakota Fanning, I know I’m excited  because I’m already imagining some of the possible dramatic exchanges likely to take place.

This is also Ewan McGregor’s directorial debut – therefore reason enough for this movie fan to tune in. Especially since, even though I’m not loving this particular remix of Tears For Fears’ ‘Mad World,’ the trailer isn’t bad.

American Pastoral Release Dates: October 21st, 2016 (US); November 4th, 2016 (UK)…

Starring Emma Watson, Luke Evans, Ewan McGregor and Dan Stevens, 2017 is the year for another live action movie version of a classic Disney fairytale. This time it’s Beauty & The Beast…

I already love the music and visuals in this beautiful tease of  trailer. I also wouldn’t mind staying in that palace for a day or many. Preferably many, many day.

Beauty & The Beast Release Dates: March 17th, 2016 (US & UK); March 29th (FR)…

OUR KIND OF TRAITOR (2016): New Trailer From Damian Lewis, Naomie Harris & Ewan McGregor. What Do You Think?

Today’s trailer stars Damian Lewis, Stellan Skarsgård, Ewan McGregor and Naomie Harris, all reasonably reliable names when it comes to how good a film is likely to be…

Quite unexpectedly though, after watching this preview, the question that’s lingering in my mind is why it is that I’m not currently filled with complete confidence about how good this movie is likely to be. The answer, I think, is in a combination of things. There’s the general look and feel which isn’t particularly cinematic. I’d hoped for more in terms of the music choice, sound, dialogue – its delivery and the trailer’s general execution in terms of how gripped I am by what I’m seeing. Especially considering the fact that Our Kind of Traitor is a thriller based on a best selling book by the author of Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy (2011).

I’d love to be wrong here because I want to believe that the editor has simply made some – in my opinion, questionable choices; which would then mean that the finished product and perhaps a later version of the trailer will be better. I’d much rather that be true than the idea that this movie is most likely not very good. Please let me be wrong. I want to be wrong! It’s just that I wasn’t wrong when it came to Burnt (2015)

Our Kind Of Traitor Release Dates: May 6th 2016 (UK)…

Let me know in the comments if you think I’m being crazy and that this Our Kind of Traitor trailer is actually very good.

MILES AHEAD (2015): New Trailer Starring Ewan McGregor & Don Cheadle

Exploring the life and music of celebrated jazz musician, Miles Davis; Miles Ahead is directed by and stars Don Cheadle…

I’m really liking the approach taken with this trailer, the style, editing and pace is very engaging. It also looks like Mr. Davis had quite the sense of humour. Something that must have been fun to be around. Except of course, if you’ve somehow wronged him in any way. Bring on the good, good music.

Ewan Mcgregor and Emayatzy Corinealdi also star.

Miles Ahead Release Date(s): April 1st, 2016 (US); April 22nd, 2016 (UK)…

JANE GOT A GUN (2016): New Trailer Starring Natalie Portman, Joel Edgerton & Ewan McGregor

Directed by Gavin O’Connor, Natalie Portman’s latest, Jane Got A Gun is a western. Something you may have guessed from the title…

It looks like the movie will be good especially with a promising cast that also includes Joel Egerton, Rodrigo Santoro and Noah Emmerich.

May it be as impressive as True Grit (2010) because that movie is fantastic!

Jane Got A Gun Release Date(s): January 29th, 2016 (US); May 20th, 2016 (UK)

MORTDECAI (2015): The Thing I Loved

I remember being very excited after seeing the Mordecai teaser trailer in late 2014, for reasons including very promising dialogue and Johnny Depp.

What I didn’t anticipate is that upon seeing the David Koepp directed movie, my favourite thing about it would be the aerial shot special effects for the film’s various locations.

Why this particular response? It’s the overcooked accents that spoilt the experience really. Not to say that everything else about the movie is great, mind you. It may simply be the case that Charlie Mordecai’s particular brand of eccentricity is really just  best enjoyed in small doses. I.e. the movie’s fun trailer.

Am I missing something? Did anyone absolutely love it?

Happy Film Loving, though, for me, I guess not in this case :-(…  :-)
