'Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter' Teaser Trailer Loves Axes, Hates Trees

Posted 2/14/12 2:10 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Trailers

Abraham Lincoln driving stakes through vampire hearts and plowing axes through exploding trees. If there's something about this concept that doesn't work for you, you should probably look away now. For the rest of you blood-thirsty movie fans, you'll be very happy to check out the first "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter" teaser trailer right here, right now!

Benjamin Walker plays Honest Abe, with a very notable twist: in this revised history, Lincoln spent just as much time slaying vamps as he did signing documents and addressing the people of the United States. Check out the incredibly fun "Abraham Lincoln" trailer in the video below.

'Breaking Dawn' Before 'Hunger Games': Five Other Big Trailer Debuts

Posted 2/10/12 5:35 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Trailers

Arguably the biggest news of the day was Lionsgate's announcement that the studio would be premiering the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2" trailer in front of "The Hunger Games" in theaters on March 23. Though this is definitely a match made in young-adult heaven, it's far from the first time trailers for highly anticipated films have premiered before similarly big new releases.

We've decided to go back and pick our five favorite examples of big trailer premieres from the past couple decades. The movies haven’t always matched the hype (we're looking at you, "Phantom Menace"), but they certainly gave us good reason to get excited.

"Star Wars: Episode I — The Phantom Menace" before "Meet Joe Black"
Come with me back to a time long, long ago (1998) in a galaxy far, far away (where Brad Pitt was still playing romantic leads). "Meet Joe Black" was just hitting theaters, but fans weren't necessarily flocking to theaters opening night to catch Pitt playing the Death. Instead, many fans were anxiously awaiting the first trailer of George Lucas's highly anticipated "Star Wars" prequel, "The Phantom Menace." Considering the public's changed opinion on the movie as "The Phantom Menace" launches its 3-D rerelease today, it's hard to believe people were once so excited about the movie. But they were — seriously.

'Bourne Legacy' Teaser Trailer: Never Just One

Posted 2/8/12 12:40 pm EST by Josh Wigler in Trailers

There was never just one — you just didn't know that the other one was played by Jeremy Renner!

Well, now you do, especially with the release of the first teaser trailer for "The Bourne Legacy." Renner makes his entry into the spy drama franchise following the exit of long time lead Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass, but Jason Bourne he is not: this is Aaron Cross, a new breed of amnesiac assassin who has his own share of grudges to make right.

'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' International Trailer Makes Case For Best Picture Nod

Posted 2/7/12 5:05 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Trailers

GI Joe Retaliation Snake Eyes

No movie so far this year has made a more convincing case that it is unequivocally, unabashedly awesome than "G.I. Joe: Retaliation." It may be goofy as all hell, but dammit if it doesn't look fun.

The new international trailer builds off a solid tradition of badassery that follows generally the same pattern as the first theatrical trailer. The Joes are set up by President Zartan, Channing Tatum probably dies, and the survivors seek revenge.

What we didn't get until now is a preview of the Snake Eyes-Storm Shadow fight and President Zartan complimenting Cobra Commander on his new "cool mask." (We officially and strongly agree. Sorry, JGL.) Plus, Jinx has more of an opportunity to shine in all her ninja glory.

Watch The New 'Amazing Spider-Man' Trailer!

Posted 2/7/12 9:50 am EST by Josh Wigler in Trailers

Spider-Man does whatever a spider can, and that apparently includes spinning amazing trailers in addition to amazing webs. The second trailer for "The Amazing Spider-Man" swung online early Tuesday morning (February 7), bringing fans their best look yet at Andrew Garfield's take on Peter Parker. If you ever doubted his ability to crack wise and have fun while busting bad guy butt, doubt no more—but make no mistake, there is a sense of realism and darkness here that was not present in the Sam Raimi era of "Spider-Man." Certainly an intriguing trailer, even if Lizard still looks just okay.

Check out the trailer below, and tune into MTV Splash Page throughout the week for plenty more "Spider-Man" updates!

'Battleship' Super Bowl Ad Unveils Humanoid Aliens

Posted 2/6/12 2:03 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in Commentary, Trailers

The team behind "Battleship" certainly saved the best for the Super Bowl.

The upcoming alien invasion flick's Super Bowl TV spot unveiled one of the components of the movie that has me most intrigued: the aliens. While they have been teased in previous trailers, this spot really put the extraterrestrials in the forefront, and I was a bit surprised by how they ended up looking.

'Transformers: The Ride 3D' Super Bowl Ad Teased

Posted 2/1/12 2:20 pm EST by Terri Schwartz in News, Trailers

Following in the trend of "Transformers" Super Bowl spots, Universal Hollywood has released a teaser for their upcoming commercial that will promote their new attraction, "Transformers: The Ride 3D."

The ride has already made its debut in Universal Singapore (watch a video about it here), but will be opening in Hollywood in May. Other than the promise, "Humans, you are in grave danger," from Optimus Prime, the commercial doesn't really give us any sense of what the new attraction will look like. Maybe the full-length Super Bowl ad will do a better job showing what kind of ride it will be. You can find out more about "Transformers: The Ride 3D" and watch the teaser ad on its website.

'Columbus Circle' Trailer: Don't Trust Your Neighbors

Posted 1/31/12 3:08 pm EST by Kevin P. Sullivan in Trailers

Are you an agoraphobic heiress to a multi-million dollar fortune? Was your elderly neighbor just brutally murdered and replaced by a seemingly well-to-do couple? Does the husband act like an abusive psychopath?

If that's the case, my questions were oddly specific and you are the main character of the new thriller, "Columbus Circle." Also, by no means should you open the door.

We have an exclusive trailer from the upcoming movie starring Selma Blair, Amy Smart, Jason Lee and Giovanni Ribisi.

Posted 1/31/12 10:07 am EST by Josh Wigler in Trailers

The shark has two heads. So help us all, the shark has two heads!!

That's pretty much the only thing I've been able to say in the twenty-four hours or so that passed since watching MTV Movies' exclusive trailer for "2-Headed Shark Attack," the latest thriller from The Asylum that lands on DVD shelves today (January 31). I encourage anyone and everyone to watch the "Shark Attack" trailer right here, right now, if only so that I'm not the only one with shark-filled madness swimming about in my brain(s).
