Clip from AMC's Upcoming Mini-series 'The Prisoner'
Even though I've not seen an episode of the two television series currently aired on AMC (Mad Men and Breaking Bad), I've heard nothing but good things about both shows and have them in my Netflix queue as we speak. I'm a bit hesitant with a remake of a classic, but hopefully the success of BSG will clear the path for this to be taken seriously and be good! I mean, it stars Jesus (Jim Caviezel) and Gandalf (Ian Mckellen)...it has to be good, right? Fingers crossed...

First Trailer for 'The Book of Eli'
Denzel looks pretty tough in this, and it appears from the trailer that Gary Oldman returns to his bad guy days, ala Zorg (Fifth Element), Drexel Spivey (True Romance), or Stansfield (Léon). I had no idea Oldman was even attached, so now my curiosity is piqued! The main problem I have is that this seems to have similar themes to John Hillcoat's 'The Road' which comes out a few months earlier than this (Oct 16th '09 vs. Jan 15th '10).
James Cameron's 'Avatar Day' Announcement from Comic-Con '09
James Cameron:
"We’re going to do something unprecedented. It’s a social marketing experiment. We’re going to take over as many IMAX 3D theaters and other select 3D theaters worldwide on August 21 and we’re going to let an international global audience come see 15 minutes of Avatar for free. It’s going to be Avatar day."
Wow!!!

First Feature Length Trailer for Neill Blomkamp's 'District 9'
This definitely gives some more weight to what the hell was going on in the teasers. It looks like it could go either way, really, between being a solid Sci-Fi Thriller or a dud! I patiently await the August 14th theatrical release as it is the only film besides Potter that I want to see between now and the release of Inglorious Basterds! (unless Moon and/or The Hurt Locker see some type of theatrical release in my area between now and then)
