Bachelorette – Red Band Trailer

Okay this has the potential to be this years Bridesmaids. This red Band trailer for Bachelorette made me laugh out loud several time and that is good value. I just hope they didn’t blow all the funniest stuff in the trailer.

This trailer is NSFW so beware.

Bachelorette is directed by Leslye Headland and stars Kirsten Dunst, Lizzy Caplan and Isla Fisher.

Final Poster Art for Dredd 3D

A film I am very much looking forward to is Dredd 3D. I was a big fan of the 2000AD comic and Judge Dredd and have always thought this would make a fun film. Sylvester Stallone tried it in 1995 with Judge Dredd but it just didn’t work. Visually that film was right on the money but they just didn’t get the character and the script and Stallone sucked. I really hope they have it right this time.

Anyway, here is the final poster art for the new film (click the poster for a bigger version) and I like it. Now, can October 25th just get here so I can see the film!

Dredd 3D is directed by Pete Travis and stars Karl Urban, Olivia Thirlby and Lena Headey.
