A late online arrival to the slew of trailers swimming in Sith‘s wake: Clones Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson evade Sean Bean (and look to Steve Buscemi for answers) in the new trailer for Michael Bay’s The Island. Bay-flicks tend to annoy me, but I could see this being useful as two hours of air conditioning at some point this summer.

Four, War, and a Bore.
Big-time summer trailers piggybacking off of Sith this week include the final trailer for Fantastic Four (I actually liked the Magic Johnson NBA spot, but this is looking lame again) and a new War of the Worlds trailer, with our first brief look at the invaders. Also, Top Guns Jamie Foxx, Jessica Biel, and Josh Lucas go up against a renegade Skynet-like fighter in the new trailer for Stealth. Oof, Sam Shepard and Joe Morton must have some bills to pay.
Cavaliers and Clay.
In the trailer bin today, Movie-Voice-Guy does his Almighty best to oversell The Da Vinci Code, and Wallace and Gromit leap to the big screen in W&G: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit.
Aragoetz.
Courtesy of Cannes, the trailer for David Cronenberg’s A History of Violence, starring Viggo Mortensen, Maria Bello, Ed Harris, and William Hurt, is now online (in lousy formats). Seems strangely unCronenberg-like, from the previews…where are the fleshy, pulsating things? Perhaps this is his Straight Story.
Witch is Which?
After a train wreck of an initial trailer, the marketing gurus at Columbia Pictures borrow liberally from Splash in the new trailer for Nora Ephron’s Bewitched. Nope, still won’t see it.
Drive the Wayne.
For completists out there, Coming Soon obtains the international Batman Begins trailer, which follows the domestic one but includes some previously unreleased footage.
Chronic Town.
In case you missed the Kramervision version last week, the first trailer for The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe is now officially online.
Goblet of Fever.
Hey…this site is in dire need of an update, but right now I seem to have procured a fever out of the blue and don’t feel like doing much other than sleeping. So, for now, here’s the new teaser for Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, from where the stills of the other day were procured. Enjoy. Update: Back down from 101 to normal today…my guess is food poisoning of some kind or another.
No Pain, No Wayne.
“He’s here…the ‘Bat Man’…” WB officially releases the excellent new Batman Begins trailer. (As it turns out, the MTV version posted yesterday was only the second half.)
Knight Over Gotham.
MTV obtains an exclusive new Wayne-centric Batman Begins trailer that includes much more of Katie Holmes and Morgan Freeman (and, briefly, Cillian Murphy and Ken Watanabe) than we’ve seen before.
