Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows (2011) Trailer!

The first trailer for the sequel to the smash hit of 2009 worked its way online! I was surprised by the first film, with low expectations I was rewarded with a great action adventure that really did keep me entertained. Naturally so, any news from the sequel is to bring a smile to my face, so I'm happy to link you to the trailer: Sherlock holmes a game of shadows trailer Warner Bros have had a hectic time this summer, with the finale of the Harry Potter franchises drawing closer, and the weak introduction of their new franchise 'Green Lantern' (read the review here) they have stopped at nothing to keep the fans wanting more. This week they launched the posters for both 'Sherlock Holmes', and the monster that is 'The Dark Knight Rises', with trailers to match. I think that the studio are onto a winner with these ones.     (Sorry it's only a link and not embedded, I need to learn quickly! but alas, Karan is asleep and this needs to be out there for you guys ASAP!)

Kevin Smith's 'Cop Out' trailer

What was at one point known as 'A Couple of Dicks', the MPAA seemed to have a problem with this, so now it's simply known as 'Cop Out'. How lovely. Behold, the trailer.

Looks so very different from Smith's previous works, it actually slightly upsets me. That's not to say this won't be an exceptional film. I suppose I mean that Smith has most definitely excelled himself, and obviously has moved onto more high-profile films. He's not a sell-out. He's a badass. Kazed.

The Flash movie in the works!

Yesterday, we found out that Warner Bros. created DC Entertainment, and today, we found out that there would be a Flash movie in the works, according to IGN & SuperheroHype.com, Charles Roven, the producer of The Dark Knight says-

"I was involved at one point with The Flash," said Roven. "And Warner Bros. came to me and said, 'The work that you've been doing hasn't yet resulted in something that any of us, including the filmmaking team, feel could be greenlit as a movie. We're trying to accomplish something that takes into account the entire, rich DC character world, and we'd like to pull it back. That doesn't mean that you aren't going to be a part of it. We just want to take a different kind of approach. Do you mind if we try that?' If we had something that was really working..."

and then, we get this, from Dan Mazeau, the screenwriter of the film(courtesy of IGN)-

"Just to chime in on your latest article(here): The Flash has not been hobbled. Everything is moving forward as planned, I'm still writing the script..." "...Flash fans have no cause for concern, and -- IMO -- lots to be excited about."

That sounds promising. To be honest, I won't believe anything until I see some good, solid proof that this will happen. We've seen too many projects like this be planned then scrapped. We'll keep you updated. Kazed
