'Daybreakers' Trailer



The cast is strong, the plot looks interesting, and it is a unique spin on the vampire mythology. Directed by The Spierig Brothers, who brought us 'Undead'.

'The Box' Trailer



Interesting concept, but I'm not too thrilled about the choice of actors outside of Frank Langella. Hopefully Richard Kelly (director) can show Donnie Darko wasn't a one-hit wonder!

'Whiteout' Trailer



Based on an award winning comic series about the first murder in Antarctica, it looks promising, though I am worried about the director, Dominic Sena, whose previous works included Swordfish and the Gone in 60 Seconds remake (meh to both). I like the 'The Thing' feel it has going for it, minus the mimicking aliens of course!
