Some trailers from afar: Psychiatrist Ewan MacGregor goes slightly mad (with Naomi Watts and Ryan Gosling) in the trailer for Stay, and Harry fends off Triwizard contestants and schoolboy crushes alike in this teaser for the trailer for Goblet of Fire.

Cogs and Grunts and Hirelings.
More trailers for your perusal: Jake Gyllenhaal, Peter Sarsgaard, Chris Cooper and Jamie Foxx brave Operation Desert Storm in the trailer for Sam Mendes’ Jarhead, Charlize Theron channels Liquid Television for Frances McDormand in MTV’s live-action version of Aeon Flux, and Robert Downey Jr., Michelle Monaghan, and Val Kilmer attempt to solve a Hollywood murder mystery in this look at Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang.
Dominy Darko.
Keira Knightley explains her bounty hunter backstory in the new extended trailer for Domino. This still seems like a Tony Scott schlockfest — In fact, it looks like outtakes from Man on Fire. But, as I said last time, I’m curious to see what screenwriter Richard Kelly has brought to the table.
Roman Holiday.
Welcome to the layer cake, son. The new trailer for Roman Polanski’s Oliver Twist is out, with our first looks at Fagin (Ben Kingsley) and Bill Sykes (Jamie Foreman).
A Long Way from the Shire.
In the trailer bin, Elijah Wood pulls double duty delving into strange and exotic Old World cultures in the trailers for Green Street (nee Hooligans) and the Liev Schreiber-directed version of Jonathan Foer’s Everything is Illuminated. Of these two, I think I’d rather see the former.
Love and a .45.
Trailers: Nic Cage, Ethan Hawke, Jared Leto, Eamonn Walker, and Bridget Moynahan exercise their Second Amendment rights in Andrew Niccol’s Lord of War, and Jennifer Aniston gives up Mark Ruffalo for Kevin Costner in Rumor Has It, Rob Reiner’s riff on The Graduate, also starring Shirley MacLaine, Kathy Bates, and Mena Suvari.
‘Til Things are Brighter.
Here’s one I’m actually looking forward to: Joaquin Phoenix channels the Man in Black (with Reese Witherspoon as long-suffering June) in the new trailer for Walk the Line, the Johnny Cash biopic.
Crabgrass (and Martian) Frontiers.
Some trailers for movies I doubt I’ll see: Jim Carrey and Tea Leoni keep up with the Joneses via armed robbery in Fun with Dick and Jane, Eomer and The Rock wield BFGs in the totally unnecessary film version of Doom, and suburban housewife Julianne Moore pens her way to big bucks (much to the chagrin of man-of-the-house Woody Harrelson) in The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio. Ho-hum. Also in film news, Ellen Page is Kitty Pryde in X3, which sits better with me than the idea of Eli of Freaks & Geeks as Angel.
Fleurs du Mal.
Ralph Fiennes goes Charles Bronson to avenge Rachel Weisz in the trailer for John LeCarre’s The Constant Gardener, directed by City of God‘s Fernando Meirelles.
J’en voudrais encore.
In today’s trailer bin, the french teaser for Polanski’s Oliver Twist. (By the way, I know I promised some choice Comic-Con coverage the other day, but for some reason or another, none of the video clips seem to have leaked out yet.)
