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.
Vendetta Mondatta.
“Remember, remember, the 5th of November…” The Comic-Con trailer for V for Vendetta is now online, starring Natalie Portman, Hugo Weaving (formerly James Purefoy), Stephen Rea, and John Hurt. Look like it’s Winston’s turn as Big Brother.
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.)
Dead Brides and Demonic Coeds.
In the trailer bin, The Nightmare Before Christmas meets Grim Fandango in this new look at Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride. And, for non-stop-motion haunts, lawyer Laura Linney tries to ascertain priest Tom Wilkinson’s part in The Exorcism of Emily Rose, ostensibly based on a true story.
Eighth Wonder of the World.
The much-anticipated teaser for PJ’s King Kong is now online.
Leggy Maguire.
Oops…this has been languishing in the bookmarks for a few days — our first look at Cameron Crowe’s Elizabethtown, with Orlando Bloom, Kirsten Dunst, Susan Sarandon, Jessica Biel, and Alec Baldwin. As several others have noted, it all looks a bit Garden State-ish, but I’ll probably still give it a spin.
Muppet Eberts.
As seen on CNN, Statler and Waldorf, the cantankerous and curmudgeonly duo in the upper balcony of The Muppet Show, now review movie trailers each week. While we’re at it, can we get political commentary by Sam the Eagle?
Short Reign.
It’s only a second or two long, and I expect it’ll get hard to access really soon, but MovieNewz has posted an NBC teaser for the King Kong teaser, with an all-too-brief glimpse of a T-Rex, Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts)…and the Ape in question.
