It's Trailer Time...

Two trailers hit this week for films I'm very excited about. First up is the trailer for the stop motion version of Tim Burton's Frankenweenie. I'm a huge fan of the original version (which was shot as live action) but this stop motion animated version just looks perfect.

If you like the look of that then you must watch Tim's Vincent short which just for you I'm going to post right here..

Brilliant isn't it!
Then we come to The Avengers. The comic geek in me exploded upon watching this trailer. Cannot wait until the end of April now.

Muppets, Avengers and Spiders

The Muppets is released in cinemas across the UK today - you owe it to yourself to go and see it as soon as possible. It's been 12 long years since the Muppets last graced our screens and this new film from the brains behind The Flight of the Choncords looks to put the merry puppets back in their rightfull place as the kings and queens of family entertainment.

Welcome back Kermit and Co - you've been sorely missed.

Elsewhere this week we've seen the latest trailer for Sony's The Amazing Spider-Man. I was sceptical of Marvel properties still being produced outside the Marvel Studios umbrella but minor problems aside (no lab coat and snout on The Lizard) it looks like Marc Webb's take on Spidey might turn out to be okay.

The Avengers also got an extended Superbowl spot online this week and we finally get to see a little more of The Hulk. I'm hoping the combination of Joss Whedon and Marvel's mightiest heroes really delivers the goods this April.
