Several new trailers and clips have arrived from upcoming 2011 features and instead of one post for each I’m knocking them out all at once. Let’s get to it…
First up is a brand new clip from the Jason Statham starrer The Mechanic due in theaters on January 28. The film co-stars Ben Foster, Donald Sutherland and Christa Campbell and is a remake of the 1972 Charles Bronson film with Statham playing a hitman for hire who decides to uncharacteristically begin training a young man (Ben Foster) as an “associate” when things go a bit awry.
Next is the first trailer for Cedar Rapids starring Ed Helms (The Hangover). Cedar Rapids will be shown at the Sundance Film Festival prior to its February 11 release. The film co-stars John C. Reilly, Sigourney Weaver, Alia Shawkat, Anne Heche, Stephen Root, Kurtwood Smith, Mike O’Malley and Rob Corddry. For more on this film click here.
This here is the second trailer for The Lincoln Lawyer starring Matthew McConaughey, Marisa Tomei, Ryan Phillippe, William H. Macy, John Leguizamo, Michael Pena and Trace Adkins. The film is set to hit theaters on March 18 from Lionsgate.
Disney/DreamWorks is doing all they can to push their X-Men meets Twilight feature I Am Number Four and the latest attempt is this extended trailer. The film hits theaters on February 18.
Finally, apparently Kino is preparing to release an all-new, restored version of Sergei M. Eisenstein’s 1925 silent classic Battleship Potemkin on january 14. This is a stellar film that has inspired a countless number of films since.
