Last year marked the long-awaited release of George Lucas’ six Star Wars films on Blu-ray. Now, Lucas’ other hit franchise will be making its way to the blu-ray format in The Complete Indiana Jones Blu-ray Collection, featuring all four Steven Spielberg-directed films presented in high definition picture and sound. Also included with the release will be a “best of” collection of documentaries, interviews and featurettes (presumably from The Adventures of Indiana Jones DVD set), as well as “a few new surprises,” according to the official press release.

Marvel has a lot riding on the success of their latest comic book film adaptation, The Avengers – not in terms of box office results (we all know it’ll make loads of cash), but rather in the execution of the story and its characters. They have done a great job with Iron Man, The Hulk, Thor and Captain America in their own individual films, but how well will they work together in one film? Can it ever live up to the hype surrounding it, considering that this is the film that all the other Marvel films (excluding the X-Men films) have been building up to since 2008?

The latest trailer for The Avengers definitely shows us that it has the potential to deliver in these areas, as well as the action and special effects aspects of a typical blockbuster. Most of all, it looks like it’ll be incredibly fun to watch, which is probably just as important as getting the story and characters right. Hit the jump to check it out!

The final trailer for Disney’s John Carter has hit the web over at Apple today, and it definitely shows us just how big and epic this film promises to be. It is unfortunate, however, that Disney is more focused on selling the epic scope of the film than the plot itself. Those who are unfamiliar with the Edgar Rice Burroughs novel the film is based off of (John Carter of Mars) won’t really get a clear idea what the film is about just by watching the trailers. I am not quite sure why Disney has chosen this route, since it is completely possible to show off visuals and still give us something to hang on to in terms of story. I am all for avoiding spoilers, but I always think it is necessary to reveal some story details in the trailers – at least more than the John Carter trailers have given.

Anyhow, you can check out the final trailer below, which highlights the arena battle we’ve seen in previous trailers (the one that looks identical to the battle in Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones).

Last week, we got the chance to go behind the scenes with voice actor Sam Witwer (Starkiller from Star Wars: The Force Unleashed), who voices the resurrected Darth Maul in the four-part Season Four finale of Star Wars: The Clone Wars, which begins tonight at 8/7c. It gave us a great tease of what’s to come when his character returns in the March 9th episode of the story arc.

Now, USA Today has a great trailer online showcasing much more of Maul, as well as his brother, Savage Opress, the Nightsisters, Count Dooku, Asajj Ventress and more! If you thought Season Three’s Nightsisters trilogy was great, wait until you see the trailer for this! Be forewarned though, as the trailer appears to spoil exactly how Darth Maul is now walking around (which I have to say is totally awesome). Hit the jump to watch!

I was extremely excited for Louis Leterrier’s remake of Clash of the Titans when previews started making their way online over two years ago. But, when the film finally hit theaters, I found it to be somewhat underwhelming. It was okay, but it lacked a certain spark that could have made it something special. That, and the fight with the Kraken was way too short. However, the film made more than enough money to warrant a sequel, titled Wrath of the Titans, which hits theaters March 30th.

The film brings back Liam Neeson and Ralph Fiennes as Zeus and Hades, respectively, and Sam Worthington returns as the demigod Perseus. Admittedly, the trailer makes the film look incredible, featuring over-the-top action scenes filled with mythological monsters running amok. But trailers for the first film made it look incredible as well, and we all know how that turned out. Thankfully, the sequel is directed by Jonathan Liebesman, who directed Battle: Los Angeles (a movie I am quite fond of), so maybe it has a chance to achieve that spark I’m looking for. Hit the jump to check out the trailer!

Well, we may not have been treated to a TV spot during the Super Bowl for Marc Webb’s The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield and Emma Stone, but today the full second trailer for the film has made its way online.

So, for those of you who may be thinking that it is too soon for a reboot, check out this latest trailer for the film. You just might have a change of heart.

Many of you are probably aware that every year during the Super Bowl, new TV spots air for some of the year’s most anticipated movies. Last year proved to be one of the best in terms of previews of films with tons of hype behind them, like Thor, Captain America: The First Avenger, and Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

With this year, however, I feel it needs to be said that it was disappointing that there were not as many trailers for highly anticipated films. There were a few, like The Avengers, John Carter, and The Hunger Games. But somehow, previews for lesser-hyped films such as The Lorax, Act of Valor and The Dictator made their way into the Super Bowl time slot. What’s more (and let’s be honest), even big-budget special effects movies like Battleship and G.I. Joe: Retaliation, which also earned TV spots during the game, aren’t really all that anticipated.

There are much bigger, more anticipated releases out there – such as Men in Black 3, Dark Shadows, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Dark Knight Rises or Prometheus – that I am positive people would have much preferred to see previews for. Sure, the films I just knocked for taking up the time slot might end up being great, but it is surprising which previews ended up airing. In my opinion, it made watching the Super Bowl commercials a bit less exciting than it should have been (although, to be fair, they did air an ad for Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace 3-D, which was totally cool by me).

Anyhow hit the jump to watch the Super Bowl TV spots, including an extended, one-minute version of the TV spot for Joss Whedon’s The Avengers!

Fans of AMC‘s The Walking Dead having not only been highly anticipating the show’s return on February 12th at 9/8c, but also when the characters will finally leave that frickin’ farm they are currently staying at. Watching one episode at a time over the last few months makes it seem like they’ve been there forever.

Judging from this latest midseason trailer that AMC just released, it looks like fans will finally get their wish and see them depart Hershel’s property once and for all into a world filled with killer zombie chaos. Hit the jump to watch!

While the Resident Evil franchise has never been truly “great,” there was a time when the films held a certain guilty pleasure appeal to them in terms of balls-to-the-walls action, cool zombie kills, and stories that were enjoyable on a “popcorn movie” level. But that all went away with Resident Evil: Afterlife in 2010. The movie just fell more flat to me than the other ones, despite it’s zombie action. It was simply a disappointing followup to the story that was set up in Resident Evil: Extinction, where we were left with a possible hope of surviving the zombie world in Alaska, and a group of Alice clones ready to conquer said zombies and the Umbrella corporation. Needless to say, I lost interest in the franchise.

However, after seeing the trailer for director Paul W.S. Anderson’s fifth and latest movie in the series, Resident Evil: Retribution, it appears that there just might be hope for the franchise after all. Michelle Rodriguez and Sienna Guillory are both returning as Rain Ocampo and Jill Valentine, respectively, and the trailer really does a great job at making the movie look like it will be a welcome return to what made the series fun to watch in the first place. Yes, this is just a trailer, and the end result could still be disastrous. But then again, it is possible that Anderson got a clue this time around. Either way, the trailer is worth a look.

Last week saw the debut of the trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus, which, of course, has fans going absolutely crazy to not only finally see Scott return to the same universe first seen in his 1979 film, Alien, but to science fiction film making in general. The trailer even has the title slowly forming on screen just like in the original Alien teaser, letting us know that we’re officially going back to the universe Ridley Scott created all those years ago.

In a similar gesture, a fan made trailer for the original Alien has emerged online that sort of celebrates the new trailer for Prometheus by showing us what it would be like if the original Alien teaser was edited together in the same way the new Prometheus trailer was. It is simply a cool video that connects Alien with Prometheus in a creative way that seemed worth posting, so hit the jump to watch!
