Super Bowl Reviews, Interviews & More
Look, maybe it’s time we give up on the whole “hey, is Khan gonna be in this thing or not?” game with Star Trek Into Darkness, Paramount and J.J. Abrams, because it’s not a fight we’re winning. Every new trailer or image only serves to confuse the matter further, so maybe we should just be patient and wait until the film’s May 17th release date to see—oh, who am I...
While the Iron Man 3 extended Super Bowl teaser wasn’t really that extended (basically a goofy bit with Robert Downey Jr. mocking super-serious comic book films) we did get a look at a fairly exciting action sequence in which Iron Man attempts to save a crashing Air Force One. Oh, yeah, and Iron Patriot shows up. Check it out.
There’s not much more that we can say about the Super Bowl TV spot for Marc Forster's upcoming zombie apocalypse film World War Z than we already noted in the headline—the 30 second clip basically crams in some loud Inception orchestral bleats, some heavy CGI, and Brad Pitt’s remarkably goofy haircut before abruptly ending so that we...
Well, the annual orgy of advertising every possible combination of beer, soda, potato chip, automobile, credit system and film occurred on Sunday night, despite being repeatedly interrupted by some kind of organized game in which something called “The Giants” apparently did something awesome and a strange, well-muscled and blonde corpse danced and lip-synched in what was obviously some...
Remember last week, when we posted a mysterious clip of Matthew Broderick reprising his most beloved role, that of Ferris Bueller from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? And we discussed how it might be really cool if it were some kind of prelude to a sequel that somehow didn’t suck? And then we revealed it was actually a teaser for a...
It's no surprise that Super Bowl XLV was the most watched television program of the year. The championship game always rakes in the numbers, and produces an ungodly amount of ad revenue in the process. This year was even more extraordinary than most, because the game brought in a record breaking amount of viewers.
Did you really think we were done with the excessive Super Bowl promotions? Nope! There's more where that came from. Another movie that got some prime ad time during last night's big game was Fast Five. The fifth installment in the long running Fast and the Furious franchise. It was 30 seconds of high octane action that featured a very angry Dwayne...
With TV spots from Captain America, Thor, and Super 8, did you really think that Cowboys & Aliens would sit this one out? Super Bowl Sunday is the premiere place to advertise summer blockbusters and Jon Favreau's latest got in on the action. The film is slated to hit theaters this May, and...
Last week, we posted a teaser for the Pirates of the Caribbean On Stranger Tides Super Bowl spot, and today we've got the full video! The extended TV trailer has been released and it's awesome! It's everything you'd expect from the movie: humor, greed, action, bad teeth, and of course, Johnny Depp! Check out the TV spot...
Classic Steven Spielberg is back! The film legend is one of the producers for J.J. Abrams sci-fi flick Super 8, and it has old school Amblin written all over it. The first official trailer for the movie debuted during last night's Super Bowl and it did not disappoint. We got a great look at the cast, which includes Kyle Chandler and Elle Fanning, and a mystical...
Sunday evening, we saw more than our fair share of TV shows and movies promoted during the Super Bowl. Marvel Entertainment doubled up with spots for Captain America: The First Avenger and Thor. This marked the first time that anyone had seen footage from Captain America, which showed a frail Chris Evans turn into a buff super...
Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner and TV spots are dropping left and right. Usually we don't get to see anything until the big game but the movie studios have decided to step things up a notch. Several film ads have already been released this week, and the latest is for Neil Burger's Limitless. Check it out...
Will any of the commercials that air during the Super Bowl this Sunday be "fresh" and "new"? The studios have released more than their fair share of early TV spots including ones for Transformers Dark of the Moon, Kung Fu Panda 2, Pirates of the Caribbean on Stranger Tides, and now Rango!...
Yesterday we got a sneak peek at two TV spots that will appear during Sunday's Super Bowl presentation. One of them was for Chevy and Transformers Dark of the Moon and the other was for Kung Fu Panda 2. Today we've learned that another movie ad will feature something a little more than just pretty colors and fast editing. Are you a fan of the...
Did you really think that Transformers Dark of the Moon would be the only film advertised at this year's Super Bowl? Kung Fu Panda 2 is getting in on the action as well, and its ad actually features footage from the movie! The 30 second commercial debuted on Entertainment Tonight, and we've got the video right here. Check it...
Super Bowl commercials have come out a little early this year. The big game doesn't take place until February 6, but we've got one of this year's most anticipated ads right now! Chevrolet decided to do a little cross promotion with Transformers Dark of the Moon by featuring everyone's favorite yellow Camaro in their commercial. Unfortunately for them, Bumblee doesn't...
We thought Super Bowl Sunday was all about football and you know, the Super Bowl? The coveted date sports fans wait all year for is slowly but surely turning into a night of glee, not the emotion, the TV show "Glee!" Yesterday we posted some photos from the post-game episode of the series, which will feature lots of football, and an awesome mash-up of Michael Jackson's...
Over on THR, they've snagged the list of films that will be promoted during the biggest television event of the year -- The Super Bowl. It's one of the only times people actually sit down and watch the commercials as attentively as the regular programming. According to the trade, we can expect to see some of the biggest films of 2011 debut new trailers during those highly coveted ad breaks....
"Glee" will continue its assault on pop culture's most history defining music with its super-sized Super Bowl episode. How do you top Britney Spears? How do top Madonna? How do you top The Rocky Horror Picture Show? The answer is two words: Michael Jackson. The King of Pop will be featured on the hit Fox series after television's biggest event.
In the words of the random female clerk from Mike Judge's Office Space, "Uh-oh. Sounds like somebody's got a case of the Mondays." The Academy Awards which are traditionally held on Sundays might change its date because of another major television event -- the Super Bowl. Apparently, the change isn't the fault of the Academy, it's all because of those execs over at...
