Most of the trailers I see are on YouTube, so not really current. I hope it's not bending the intent of this thread too much to post them and ask if anyone's seen the films?
This one not only looks like a movie I'd like to see, but the provenance of the music kicking in at 0:40 (made clear in the second clip) is quite interesting. I wonder if it's used in the actual film and not just the trailer.

Here's another one I know only from the following, a 2005 film called 1942:
I've found the following synopsis:
1942. Malaya. Sgt. Yasuo Fujii, a war cameraman, is huddled in a trench, waiting to film the Japanese 6th Army cross the Slim River on its way south to Kuala Lumpur. An enemy mortar shell lands in the trench and, in a heartbeat, Sgt. Fujiiis running through the jungle for his life. Armed with nothing except his 8mm camera, the young soldier soon hooks up with remnants of the scattered 6th Army. Together with three soldiers, he must race against time to get a fatally wounded soldier back to the division in Kuala Lumpur. However, everything starts to go wrong and they get lost in the maze-like jungle. All their maps are wrong and their radio malfunctions. Sgt. Fujii starts sighting mysterious figures through his camera viewfinder, and a female ghost starts to haunt them. Survival is at stake and the ghost is hot on their heels. Will they make it to safety?
The director is a guy named Kelvin Tong, apparently big in Hong Kong action but of whom I know nothing. Now, a film about the CBI campaign from a Japanese perspective sounds interesting, especially with a Chinese director, and I also quite like a number of Japanese ghost movies. Somehow, though, I'm not sure the combination is quite as promising as the Peanut Butter Cup, and that trailer does have a sort of shaky-cam, "found footage" vibe to it.
Just curious if anyone knows anything about this one specifically or Tong in general.

Sorry.

I go to the movies very, very rarely because I'm usually broke and I don't keep up with what's coming out. That said, this weekend me and the pooky are VERY excited to see Prometheus. Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is gonna be a must-see too, I think, and we might give Snow White and the Huntsman a try; it looked good, despite Kristen Stewart.

New Bond teaser
Teaser trailers are starting to emerge from Paul Thomas Anderson’s The Master - and they are strange.
And From Up On Poppy Hill from Studio Ghibli should hit the States in March 2013. The film was directed by Goro Miyazaki from a screenplay by his pop, Hayao Miyazaki. It's the first feature collaboration between father and son.

One of my favorite directors, Bong Joon Ho (The Host, Mother) has wrapped up principle photography on his newest film, the post apocalyptic Snow Piercer (the name of a train the story is set in). Based on the French graphic novel Le Transperceneige, this will be Boong's first English language film (with stars like Chris Evans, John Hurt and Tilda Swinton) We should see it by next year. Yipee! twitchfilm.com/news/2012/07/shooting-wraps-on-bong-joon-hos-snow-piercer.php

Master looks amazing. Skyfall looks weak to me. For some reason i'm just not buying the free association bit and the rest of the trailer is just daniel craig frowning and stuff blowing up. I'm bored already!

I'm not, bored that is. New domestic Skyfall trailer. We get a look at the new Q and Bardem as the baddie. Susanne Bier's new film is going to be a comedy (after years of darker tales) titled "Love is all You Need". The movie is playing at the Venice Film fest and has worked out a distribution deal for the UK. No news yet on a US release. trustnordisk.com/film/2012-love-all-you-need

His next role will be as one of the female singers in, "B-52's: The Motion Picture" - can't wait to see him in that beehive!
(Dear Lord, I hope no one takes me seriously... I can just see someone sitting there wondering when that Bardem B-52 movie is coming out)

Jack Reacher? When Tom Cruise first opened his mouth I started laughing my ass off.
Books are books and movies are movies, I'm down with that. But this is soooo not Jack Reacher.
Reacher stands 6 foot 2. He's been in a lots of fights, and he looks it. He's a hard, weather worn man. He walks and hitchhikes across America, he doesn't drive worth a damn, he doesn't even have a license.
So seeing shorty pants here, with his pretty Hollywood face, trying to sound tough with that high pitched girlish voice of his... I couldn't help myself, I laughed.
The movie might very well be good.... but that's not Jack Reacher any more than the first US Godzilla movie featured Godzilla.
