Space Ghost, Earth Nazi.

Anyone else feel like taking a trip off-world today? George Clooney laments what have been in the Internet exclusive trailer for Solaris. Also in the trailer bin is this first look at Max, starring John Cusack as a German art dealer and Noah Taylor as his not-so-promising student, Adolf Hitler. Update: You can go ahead and add Daredevil to the mix as well…cheeseball Affleckisms and lame wire work have quashed any hopes I had for this project for the time being.

Way Out of Sight.


The official site for Solaris goes live, with a number of stills (basically George Clooney and/or Natasha McElhone running around the elegantly designed space station.) I was hoping to catch the original at the Film Forum but it’s already gone. If Soderbergh is right when he describes the remake as “2001: A Space Odyssey meets Last Tango in Paris,” it sounds like the premier date movie for the fanboy/fangirl nation (this side of The Two Towers, of course.)

Trailer Smorgasbord.

New teasers and trailers abound this past weekend, including the ones for Daredevil (I dunno…looks goofy. We’ll see.), xXx (looks more fun than any Bond movie I’ve seen in the past ten years), Goldmember (a bit long in the tooth, Michael Caine notwithstanding), and the Soderbergh/Cameron Solaris remake (I have very, very high hopes for this one.)
