Clone Wars Trailer Shows All-Out Jedi Mayhem
The theatrical trailer for Star Wars: Clone Wars has leaked online, thanks to a Polish distributor (hence the subtitles and slightly dim picture). And it turns out the Clone Wars that took place between the second and third Star Wars prequels had an added complication we've never known about, involving our old friend Jabba the Hutt. I've warmed to the animation style of this series, ever since I found out it was based on Gerry Anderson's Thunderbirds puppet show. Clone Wars hits theaters this August, and then heads to the Cartoon Network in the fall. [Film School Rejects]

Corporate Takeovers Swallow A Whole Country In War, Inc.
War, Inc. is best known as "the movie where Hilary Duff puts a live scorpion down her pants," but it's also one of the wildest stabs at future dystopian satire in ages. The John Cusack vehicle, coming out in May after two years on ice, will probably be a brave failure rather than a sleeper hit, but that doesn't make the attempt any less admirable. This trailer makes it look look like a mashup of Cusack's Grosse Point Blank and a Max Barry novel. Click through for details, and more of the aforementioned scorpion-pants scene. More »

Indiana Jones Cracks Wise (As Well As Whip) In New Trailer
Shia LaBoeuf will be the dorky straight man to Harrison Ford's wisecracking old-timer in Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. This new TV trailer shows a bit more of the duo's dynamic, and there's a lot of Shia gaping while Indy does something daring or smirkingly calls him a genius. I'm also surer than ever that I will run out and buy a Cate Blanchett action figure at the first opportunity. More »
love story 2050
2050's Mumbai Looks Like Dubai + Shanghai
A pair of lovers step into a time machine, and find themselves in the glittery Mumbai of the year 2050, which includes flying cars, holograms, sex robots and Indian ninjas. There will be a lot more kickboxing 42 years from now — and probably quite a few spontaneous song-and-dance numbers as well. We've been excited for Bollywood's Love Story 2050 for months, and we're even more excited after seeing this trailer, which showcases an unfinished version of the movie's big-budget special effects. The movie comes out this summer, at which point we'll be dancing in the aisles.

Aliens Left Us A Nasty Surprise On The Moon
A Space: 1999-ish shuttle lands on an under-construction moonbase, where scientists have just found a secret hatch containing... something alien, in this trailer from Moon, a new game coming soon for the Nintendo DS from Renegade Kid, the developer that created Dementium. Exploring the long-buried alien lunar stronghold could be fun, if the rest of the game's graphics hold up to this preview. Click through for a trailer for another forthcoming game release, Lost Planet: Colonies. More »

Wall-E Versus The Shopping-Cart Army
You may know all about Wall-E the cute robot's aeons of tedium on an abandoned Earth, and you may even have glimpsed his torrid love affair... but do you know about his valiant battle with a platoon of shopping carts? The full trailer for Disney/Pixar's robo-classic in the making just went online, and it shows just how textured and detailed the outer-space worldbuilding in Wall-E will be. You also get a glimpse of the humans, swollen and atrophied from years in space. More »

The Most Shocking Moment In Battlestar Season 4
The two latest trailers for the final season of humans-versus-robots show Battlestar Galatica only raise more questions. Who believes Starbuck's crazy story? Who will lead the humans to their destruction? And what does it mean to unite all the cylon models? We only have to wait a few weeks before some of these questions are answered. More »

Speed Racer Will Look Better With Crystal Meth
The amazing car-fu in this summer's Speed Racer includes a dive off a sheer mountain cliff, and some kind of weird stilt-hop to avoid getting rammed. Two new international trailers just came out, and they show even more of the crazy buggy action. I'm beginning to think Speed Racer 's title includes the name of the drug you should be snorting to appreciate this film. Click through for a second new trailer. More »

Morgan Freeman Is The Obi-Wan Of Gun-Fu
The trailer for Wanted, the super-assasin movie starring James McAvoy, just went online, and we're beyond excited. There's some homely gun-wisdom from Morgan Freeman, and some life coaching from Angelina Jolie. What more could you want? Besides a faithful recreation of Mark Millar's graphic novel, which isn't that necessary really.

Starbuck Freaks Out, And So Do We All
The more footage we see from Battlestar Galactica season four, the more excited we get. This new promo spot gives away some more developments from the new season, including a startling ultimatum from Starbuck and a problem with Anders. If you want to stay spoiler free for the new BSG, you may have to avoid turning on the Sci Fi Channel for the next month.

Star Trek Trailer Will Hurt Your Head
We already showed you the money shot from the new Star Trek teaser trailer yesterday, but now IESB has posted a cameraphone copy of the real thing. If you simply can't wait until the official version goes online in a few days, you can click through to view the flickeriness that is cameraphoneTrek. More »

When Adventure Becomes . . . Repetitive
A new mashup of movie trailers proves that Star Wars, Narnia, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings and Golden Compass are basically all the same movie with different trappings. But more importantly, it proves that Star Wars is much closer to fantasy than science fiction. Just look how comfortably Yoda fits in with Gandalf and the other magicians.

Time Travel Turns Ordinary Guy Into Monster
Time travel corrupts absolutely in Time Crimes, the new movie from Spanish director Nacho Vigalondo. A guy travels back in time by accident and meets himself, along with a mysterious creepy figure whose head is wrapped in pink rags. The ability to exist in an infinite number of circumstances thanks to time travel inevitably draws our hero towards evil, according to the Sundance-bound movie's official site. It sounds like a darker, scarier version of time-travel thriller Primer. Click through for a gallery of stills. More »

Alien Tech Gets You A Date With A Supermodel
A shy fanboy buys a weird alien figurine that starts making all his wishes come true, including a supermodel date, in The iDol. But everything comes at a price, and the doll's original owner is coming from outer space to look for it. The iDol looks like another zany Japanese comedy like Squid Wrestler, but it has a surprising source. More »

Jumper Rips Space, Makes Blah Speeches
The new trailer for February's Jumper reveals more about the teleporting-mutants-vs-secret-society movie. We'll get to see how Hayden Christensen's character discovers his teleporting ability as a teenager, and how it's isolated him from everybody, including his cute girlfriend (Rachel Bilson). It also shows why Jumper could rise above the usual cute-young-person-with-superpowers tropes. More »

Final Proof That Star Trek Is Just Retro Cheese
teeth
An innocent Christian girl discovers her vagina has teeth of its own. On its gleaming white surface, Teeth looks like another gross-out horror comedy. Judging from the just-released trailer, it's definitely over the top. But critics are already praising its exploration of female sexual empowerment through mutation. More »
