Lionsgate has debuted an awesome new poster for "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire." In it, Jennifer Lawrence's Katniss Everdeen wears her bow and arrow and stands on top of a mountain as the mockingjay symbol forms in the clouds behind her.
"The sun persists in rising, so I make myself stand," the tagline of the new poster reads. It was posted by the official "Hunger Games" Instagram account.

Ever since the WonderCon footage from Guillermo del Toro's monsters-verus-robots flick "Pacific Rim" debuted earlier this week, it has seemed like the marketing campaign for the movie has kicked it into a new gear. Yeah, we were excited by the first trailer, but they were clearly holding out on us. We needed more kaiju, and that WonderCon footage delivered. (Using a ship as a baseball bat also helped.)
Now an enormous banner poster for "Pacific Rim" has debuted, and it's clear that Warner Bros has keyed in on the message they should be sending out to potential ticket buyers. "This movie had enormous robots fighting equally big monsters."
Reveal all of the glorious kaiju carnage by clicking the banner below!
"Pacific Rim" opens in theaters on July 12.

If you're not already on board with Guillermo del Toro's new movie "Pacific Rim," then Warner Bros. is looking to enlist you. The studio released a new promotional image on Twitter that's styled as a recruitment flier for the Pan Pacific Defense, better known as the PPDC.
If you go to the PPDC website, you'll find a number of the viral "Pacific Rim" videos and blueprints for the various Jaegers that have been released up until this point. It's a cute touch, and hopefully Warner Bros. keeps rolling out more nontraditional teasers for GDT's new movie in the months leading up to its July 12 release.

Two days ago, Patton Oswalt won the internet with a totally improvised pitch for "Star Wars: Episode VII" from an episode of "Parks and Recreation." The unedited take quickly went viral, and Oswalt was once again declared the King of the World.
Entertainment Weekly has created a poster to illustrate the genius of Oswalt's idea, and it is simply perfect. It works as a nice homage to cover of the original "Infinity Gauntlet" comic, plus it has robo-Chewey.
Spend a few minutes taking a good look at the crafty artwork above. There's sure to be a character or two that you didn't notice right away.

For Ryan Gosling and Nicolas Winding Refn's next movie together after "Drive," you'd expect a similar dream-like, violent yarn to match their first collaboration. You may not have been expecting the seriously tripped-out trailer for "Only God Forgives" that popped up a few weeks back.
Now, after an official Cannes line-up announced the duo's return to the festival, two new international (and NSFW) trailers have gone online (via The Playlist), and they give you more of the same but with some extra insight into the story of revenge and Thai boxing.

After the first trailer for James Wan's supernatural horror flick, "The Conjuring," came out of nowhere and scared the crap out of anyone who saw it, a new poster for the film, which stars Vera Farmiga and Patrick Wilson as paranormal investigators, continues the movie's usage of smart, creepy imagery to sell itself.
It's refreshing to see a horror movie rely on simple, arresting pictures to get us interested. It's absolutely working.

The first official poster for "Ender's Game" has been released.
The reveal comes courtesy of Yahoo! Movies, and the poster shows Ender suited up as he stares out of the Battle School. Though it has a "Tron: Legacy" feel to it, the poster is a nice tease for fans who know what they have to expect in the new movie.

Late last night, the newest trailer for "Star Trek" hit the web, debuting a ton of new footage and an outrageously gratuitous shot of a female character in her underwear. But hey, this thing needs to make a lot of money, so that's all good sport, right?
The objectification of Alice Eve aside, the preview gave us our best sense yet of who this John "Not Khan" Harrison guy is, plus a ton of new actions sequences.

The "Scary Movie" franchise and the parody comedy genre in general have hit some hard times. With YouTube making instantaneous spoofs of current movies possible, the nine month gestation period of studio riffs makes them more or less irrelevant. That's why it's worth noting that for "Scary Movie 5," they're trying something different.
In the new trailer for the horror spoof, which stars Ashley Tisdale, Charlie Sheen, and Lindsay Lohan, movies like "Mama" and "Evil Dead" are getting poked fun at, in addition to all of the "Paranormal Activity" jokes that we saw in the first trailer.
"Mama" only came out in January, and "Evil Dead" isn't out until next month. Is what we're seeing an attempt from the "Scary Movie" camp to keep things up-to-date? We'll have to see when the movie hits theaters next month.

The latest teaser trailer for "Star Trek Into Darkness" should strike you as familiar since there are many, many references from popular culture, including "Tron" and what many people are calling "Star Wars" influences. (Side note: Wouldn't it be cool if J.J. Abrams directed a "Star Wars" movie? It could never happen though.)
Anyway, the trailer is way more action-heavy than what we've seen in the last few months and gives a lot more story than any other preview before it. Kirk, still acting recklessly, wants revenge on whomever is committing terrorists acts, and then he straps on a lightcycle helmet and jumps out of a spaceship.
