In South Central, Out of Retirement.

In the trailer bin, Keanu Reeves gets all Training Day up in here in the trailer for David Ayers' Street Kings (formerly The Night Watchman), also starring Forrest Whitaker, Common, The Game, Hugh Laurie, and Chris Evans. (Perhaps more importantly, it's penned by James Ellroy of L.A. Confidential.) And Jet Li and Jackie Chan join forces to train a fish-out-of-water apprentice in the trailer for Rob Minkoff's The Forbidden Kingdom. Um, even notwithstanding the Mortal Kombat cheese here, didn't Jet Li say he was done with martial arts epics after Fearless? I guess it's a Jay-Z thing. (By the way, our first look at Indy 4 will be Valentine's Day.)

A head's up: "Street Kings" is actually David Ayer's sophomore directorial effort, re-mining "Training Day" glory as opposed to Fuqua.
Great blog by the way.
