Wonder Woman is coming to DVD and BluRay in February as a brand new animated movie from the same folks who brought you Superman: Doomsday, Batman: Gotham Knight, and Justice League: The New Frontier. Keri Russell will be voicing the Amazonian princess, while fan favorite Nathan Fillion appears as the voice of Steve Trevor. Here’s a look at the trailer for the movie, and you can visit the official website here: Wonder Woman movie.
Expect to see the teaser trailer for the eagerly awaited film adaptation of Alan Moore’s Watchmen before The Dark Knight! Can’t wait? It’s okay, neither could I. Here’s the trailer.
SYNOPSIS: Set in an alternate reality of 1985. A time when Nixon is still in office, we teeter-totter on the brink of nuclear war with the Soviet Union, and Superheroes were commonplace until they were forced into retirement. Only the mysterious Rorschach remains, lurking aimlessly in the streets. But when a former colleague is brutally murdered, Rorschach attempts to rally his other associates to investigate, but the ultimate question is “Who Watches The Watchmen?”
The film is directed by Zack Snyder who burst onto the scene a few years back with his remarkably spry remake of Dawn of the Dead. He followed that up with the incredibly successful film adaptation of Frank Miller’s Graphic Novel 300.
The cast includes Patrick Wilson, Billy Crudup, Carla Gugino, Jackie Earle Haley, Malin Akerman and Jeffrey Dean Morgan.
This film has been in the works ever since the graphic novel first gained public attention after it was published, and the project has passed through the hands of many directors. Notoriously the closest anyone came (until now) was Terry Gilliam, who was set to turn it into an epic TV miniseries. But after all this waiting, come March 6 2009, WE will be watching the Watchmen…
The official theatrical trailer for The Spirit is now available online. It confirms that the movie will be a very stylistic venture, very much in the style of Sin City and perhaps even moreso. The trailer focuses on the many gorgeous women surrounding The Spirit and then makes an abrupt left turn to the weirdness that is Samuel L. Jackson in this movie. Seriously, SamJack, what the hell?

The trailer for the upcoming film based on Rockstar’s “Max Payne” has been released onto the internet, and here it is.
The film stars Mark Wahlberg in the title role. The film also features Beau Bridges, Ludacris, and Mila Kunis as femme-fatale Mona Sax.
At this point it’s unclear how close to the game the story is, but the essential story seems to be intact. The game tells the story of a DEA agent who is undercover to blow the lid on the distribution of a new designer drug. But when he’s framed for the murder of his contact, Payne goes on an all-or-nothing one man war against the mob, and as he keeps fighting, he discovers that this goes even deeper than he anticipated when he finds out that this connects with the brutal murder of his wife and child.
The film will be released October 2008.
I’ve missed Anthony Stewart Head so much after Buffy ended (and after his single episode of Doctor Who) that I’m practically salivating at the chance to see him in a big and crazy cult film… and singing, no less! Head is no stranger to cult musicals, having appeared in many productions of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and also having sung as Giles on several Buffy episodes, including the classic “Once More With Feeling.” This time he’s going to be a nefarious repo man out to harvest organs from folks who are behind on their payments. The new trailer is out from Lionsgate, and it looks fantastically twisted.

The gaming news of the weekend is that Blizzard has officially announced that Diablo III is on the way. They’ve been teasing a new announcement on their website for a while by gradually revealing an image that was covered by ice. The image has been revealed, and the official announcement happened at the 2008 Blizzard Entertainment Worldwide Invitational on Saturday.
Diablo III will be the sequel to the massively popular Diablo II, which released all the way back in 2000. I can remember having just graduated from college when the last installment was released and being disappointed that whatever heap of a computer I had at the time couldn’t run it. I’m locked and loaded and newly upgraded, so you can bet I’ll be grabbing this third installment as soon as it hits shelves. In fact, I’ve been getting so hyped about Diablo III today that I’m tempted to go back and grab the Diablo II Battle Chest and get that sucker played once and for all.
In the meantime, here are a couple of videos that Blizzard released to tease us for the game even more.
Theatrical-style teaser:

Joss Whedon has been building a monster ever since the writer’s strike earlier this year, and now that monster has a trailer. It’s called Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog, and it’s going to be a three part musical series shown on the internet. In the words of Whedon, “It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.” The cast includes Nathan Fillion as the heroic Captain Hammer, Felicia Day (best known as one of the potential Slayers from the final season of Buffy) as Penny, and Neil Patrick Harris in the title role of Dr. Horrible. Here’s a look at the trailer:

The trailer for the next Call of Duty game has hit the net. Give it a watch and see what you think:
While Call of Duty 4 is undoubtedly a brilliant game that managed to topple Halo 3 and keeps a cozy spot at the top of the XBox Live top games list, it’s important to note that COD: World at War most likely won’t be rekindling that fun. COD4 was developed by Infinity Ward, the great minds behind COD2. This World at War installment is being put out by Treyarch, who previously dropped the less than stellar COD3.
My excitement for World at War is nonexistent at this point, and I’m just left wishing the IW guys had the ability to put the kibosh on second rate developers riding their gravy train.
Punisher: War Zone, the sequel to the previous Punisher film starring Thomas Jane, is set to hit theaters on December 5. Along with a new Punisher (Ray Stevenson), the movie carries a new villain as well with the menace of Jigsaw. Here’s the new teaser trailer, courtesy of ComingSoon.net:
Ray Stevenson does have the look of the Punisher in the comics, but based on the trailer he seems to lack some of the (with apologies to Keifer Sutherland) gravitas Thomas Jane brought to the role. I’m still looking forward to the film, though. Julie Benz being in it sells the movie for me.

I fully admit that I enjoyed the Star Wars prequels. Not Jar Jar, mind you, but I did get a lot of fun out of the movies themselves, and I absolutely loved the Clone Wars cartoon that aired on Cartoon Network. It was with quite a bit of trepidation that I learned that Genndy Tartakovsky would not be working on the new Clone Wars animated movie and that it would be 3D instead of 2D. Since then, however, I’ve seen more promotional material and watched some footage and have warmed to the notion of the movie and the animated series that will spawn from it.
Today Lucasfilm dropped a brand new theatrical trailer onto the internet, and I’m growing increasingly interested in the movie. Take a look and see what you think.
