Teaser Trailer: Toy Story 3

Release Date: June 18, 2010
Director: Lee Unkrich
Starring: Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Don Rickles, Wallace Shawn, Estelle Harris, John Ratzenberger, Ned Beatty, Jodi Benson, Michael Keaton

Plot: The creators of the beloved "Toy Story" films re-open the toy box and bring moviegoers back to the delightful world of Woody, Buzz and our favorite gang of toy characters in "Toy Story 3." Lee Unkrich (co-director of "Toy Story 2" and "Finding Nemo") directs this highly anticipated film, and Michael Arndt, the Academy Award®-winning screenwriter of "Little Miss Sunshine," brings his unique talents and comedic sensibilities to the proceedings.

Thoughts: The first Toy Story came out in November 1995 so this movie will be coming out over 15 years later, which makes me feel super old even though I am only 23. I enjoyed the first two movies a lot, but that might be because I was only like 10 years old at the time. Hopefully this movie will live up to my wonderful memories of the first two, but I fear that will be difficult because I loved them so much. I do like how the teaser managed to utilize most of the main characters from the films and I am interested in seeing more in the coming year.

Fake Trailer: Green Lantern

Jaron Pitts has created a trailer for a Green Lantern movie starring Nathan Fillion as Hal Jordon. Pitts combined superimposed computer effects with clips from Firefly, JLU, Star Trek and many other movies and television shows. It’s too bad that we’re going to have to wait another 2 years for a real Green Lantern film. But for now we have this trailer which I think it is very impressive.

Supposedly Bradley Cooper (The Hangover and ‘Sack’ in Wedding Crashers) is set to star as Hal Jordan in the actual film which will be out in 2011. I love Nathan Fillion and I think he would make a good Green Lantern, but Bradley Cooper is a pretty good choice, too. I am more familiar with the John Stewart version of the Green Lantern from watching Justice League so I think it would be cool if they got a black person to play him, but either way the Green Lantern is one of my favorite comic book characters so I am pretty excited for the movie regardless of who they get to play him.
