First up in today’s trailer round up, GI Joe: Retaliation, introduced by Dwayne The Rock Johnson. Can you believe there aren’t any porn actors named “Rock Johnson?” Anyhoo, you may remember this as the film that was wisely postponed for a year (post-pwned, if you will) so that they could add some more C-Tates. Because audiences nowadays, they hear Channing Tatum, your movie better have at least a moderate-to-heavy amount of Channing Tatum, or else some theaters are getting burned down. It’s human nature.
Judging by this trailer, it’s not nearly the movie we’d hoped for based on Burnsy’s storyboards, but I do like the idea that the president hangs out with a random North Korean guy in a black jumpsuit. “Aw, cawmon, meessa praysidane, why you awways bussa my baws?

Hey, remember when Dan Rosen emailed me because his sister thought he died? Go ahead, relive the magic of that moment. I still remember it as one of FilmDrunk’s defining moments, along with the angry vanners. Anyway, this is the movie that Dan Rosen directed. So, if you ever wondered what a guy who wrote “you can NOT JOKE ABOUT SOMEONE DYING! it’s never funny…” thinks IS funny, now you know. Answer: Olivia Munn waxing her mustache. The man has a real knack for subtlety. Speaking of which, here’s the poster:

At my house, all the picture frames are tilted. I party that hard. [via JOBlo]

Welcome to the Punch stars James McAvoy and Mark Strong, and sounds like an alternate title to Here Comes the Boom. Welcome to Punch, John Carter, Jack Reacher, Zero Dark Thirty… we’re truly living in a golden age of sh*tty titles.
When a notorious criminal is forced to return to London, it gives a detective one last chance to take down the man he’s always been after.
Oi, wot’s aw dis den? Dis looks loike somefin oy’d see on da telly, donnit. I got 30 seconds into this trailer before I got bored and started doing something else.
Finally, here’s Jason Trost of The FP in All Superheroes Must Die, which he also wrote and directed, and which used to be called VS. It opens in January. I’m intrigued, based on that much alone. Also, if a local politician dressed up as Uncle Sam and torched some stuff with a flamethrower in a commercial, I would vote for him every time.



VS seems like it has a lot of elements of the Kick Ass 2 comics
VS was also the title of a batshit insane flick from Ryuhei Kitamura (Azumi, Midnight Meat Train)
The pitch for VS probably went a lot like the pitch for Reeces Peanut Butter Cups did……
Hey, you got your Superhero Movie in my Saw plot!
Hey, you got our Saw plot in my Superhero movie!
I just saw Ann Hathaway’s lovely vagina so nothing can ruin my day now, not even that trailer for Freeloaders.
Also: LONG LIVE JTRO!!! Art Hsu deserves a goddamn oscar for holding that shit down. You guys know there’s an FP sequel coming riiiiight?

Remember when people used to think Super Troopers was a instant classic and Broken Lizard group was going to be the next big thing. They’re the mullets of movies.
I’m not gonna trash em for this though because other than their production shingle somehow being involved, I don’t see any of their names on this.
But fuck Pineapple Head, this is his fault. Its not enough he occasionally ruins a pandora station but he has to make shitty movies now too? [cheezburger.com]
That North Korea “burn” moment in the G.I. Joe trailer is one of the funniest moments in trailer history. Fact. (Also, can we just get a snake eyes G.I. Joe movie? Who cares about the other characters.)
Yeah, that burn moment was pretty nice. “We’ll blow you up twice, North Korea. Why? Because go fuck yourself, that’s why.
As a condition of our note with China, we can’t rip on them, blow them up or portray an invasion on American soil… military invasion ([screenrant.com]) that is… I went shopping in downtown Chicago and it plays like Shenzhen these days.
I have a soft spot for David Foley. But not sure it’s enough to sit through Freeloaders. If you squint just right the poster for Freeloaders looks like it has a mix of the cast from American Pie part 12 and Bucky Larson.
The Freeloaders poster should reference *Academy Award Winner* Nat Faxon. Dude co-wrote The Descendants. His agent is the best.
Gahhhhhhh embedded auto-starting trailer.
Also sweet Jesus that Freeloaders poster looks like it was cut and pasted together like some kind of rebus-based ransom note.
Auto-play video?
DO NOT WANT
Oh wow. This definitely looks like something I will never watch, and if I do I’m sure I’ll regret it.
I had to google search the freeloaders poster to make sure it was real, it looks like a regular FilmDrunk photochop.
All Superheroes must Die looks like it’s just Kick Ass 2. I’ll definitely go see that movie.
You know those hole in the wall restaurants that look like absolute dives, but, you want to check out anyway because hole in the wall restaurants are usually the best (or worst) food you’ve ever eaten?That’s how I feel about Freeloaders. It looks like it could be really funny or really bad. Either way, it’s got Super Foxy Jane Seymour in it, so it’s definitely worth checking out once it’s release on dvd.
She’s 61 by the way. She was born BEFORE the Korean war. (But hot damn is she sexy as hell)
Anyone else think it’s funny that it’s nearly 2013 and nearly every action/sci-fi trailer is still using the Inception BBBBRRRRAAAAAHHHHHHMMMMMM?
All of those movies look made just for netflix
“So you left the blue filter on the whole movie?”
I think they just clicked the “X-Pro” instgram filter…
