I would put this video on our own servers, but since the studio is going around pulling it from YouTube, etc, I thought I’d save myself the trouble of having to pull it down later on and just embed the TrailerAddict post below.

BSG’s Aaron Douglas in The Bridge Trailer
Looks like Chief Galen Tyrol is up to his neck in corruption and bad influences, and it ain’t the killer cyborg from outer space kind. Check out the extended, minute and a half preview for Aaron Douglas’ new cop show, The Bridge. You know, I like the fact that Douglas is the star here, and not some pretty boy. Hope the show works out, if just because Tyrol was always my favorite character on BSG, and I didn’t have a whole lot of favorites on that show to begin with.
Michael Taylor and Ronald D. Moore’s Virtuality Pilot On Fox’s Summer Radar
On July 4th, Fox will air BattleStar creators Michael Taylor and Ronald D. Moore’s new Sci-Fi series hopeful “Virtuality”.
The Terminator: Salvation Ending?
As you may have read, McG and the powers that be behind “Terminator: Salvation” have made some changes to the ending of Salvation due to some early story leaks. Although we really can’t be sure, this is the ending that was too painful for us to bear.
Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Game Trailers
Let’s face it, games based on Hollywood movies have always been iffy at best. When they’re based on a summer event film, the chances of finding a good one in the bunch are pretty slim. Every now and then you stumble across one worth playing. For instance, I thought the first “Riddick” game was very well done, although the less said about all those games based on Marvel’s recent comic book movies, the better.
Official U.S. Trailer For Gerald Butler’s Gamer
The official trailer for Gerald Butler’s “Gamer” has been released into the wild by Lionsgate. Big fan of Gerald Butler. He needs to stop making those fluffy romantic comedies and stick with action and drama. Hopefully drama with bullets. Good cast supporting Mr. Butler. Here is the official synopsis.
Five More Terminator Salvation Images
Five more images to add to the batch that we already posted over here. Starring Christian Bale, Sam Worthington, Anton Yelchin, Moon Bloodgood, Bryce Dallas Howard, Common, Jane Alexander, Helena Bonham Carter, and Jadagrace. McG directs.
The Vulcan In Chief Wants His Star Trek At The White House
Yes, I am a Trek Nerd. That is well established. However, don’t tell me that when you see President Obama you don’t have Spock thoughts. He is highly Spockish and practically glows with inner Spockitude. Apparently, as reported by my favorite political site Politico, the POTUS (his Starfleet code name) must have his Trek and he must have it now. The President has requested, and will undoubtedly receive, a screening of Star Trek in the White House theatre. Also, he has met Nimoy and we have Leonard’s account of the moment.
Jeremy Has Seen The Flash Forward Pilot
Some dude Jeremy with the inside juice (juice we want if you publicist folks are watching) has seen the pilot for next years probable (Edit: Now Official) series “Flash Forward”. Based on a book by Robert J. Sawyer, people all over the world black out for a few minutes and have a vision of their future.
Nimoy Pine and Quinto On Saturday Night Live
On last nights Saturday Night live, Chris Pine and Zack Quinto appear with Leonard Nimoy in the Weekend Update segment talking about their fear of trekkie harassment. Is this movie just too cool for the old schoolers? Thanks Slashfilm. View it before NBC kills it.
First District 9 Poster
Neill Blomkamp’s “District 9″ was shown in front of “Star Trek”, and it actually looks a lot better on the big screen. There’s something grainy and cheap about the film when you see it in commercials on the net, but it actually fills out the screen pretty well in the theaters. There’s a sense of “grungy epic”, I guess you can call it about the movie, where there’s this huge, seamless CGI ship floating in the air as helicopters buzz around it. Great shot. Anyways, here’s the first poster from Neill Blomkamp’s sci-fi movie, about aliens becoming refugees in South Africa. It’s being “presented” by “Lord of the Rings” mastermind Peter Jackson, whose name figures prominently in the film’s advertising. “District 9″ opens August 14.
Sam Worthington On Avatar
Sam Worthington will be famous very shortly for playing a half Terminator, half human in the imminent release of “Terminator: Salvation”. That’s not all the crazy Sci-Fi he’s up to though. He will also be starring in James’ Cameron’s epic “Avatar” coming later this year. io9 tracked him down at a Terminator: Salvation press event and then ruthlessly probed him.
A Whack Ton Of New Terminator: Salvation Pictures
For your Saturday enjoyment we’ve got a ridiculous assembly of “Terminator: Salvation” pictures to show you. Most are new to me. There’s a story to be told in this collection. A story of the desperate human battle against grim faced robotic extermination. From these photos we can assume that only the beautiful survive in this horrid possible future. There’s some excellent close up accounts of Terminators and of Moon Bloodgood and the lovely redheaded Bryce Dallas Howard. A click on the small picture in the gallery will blast open a super huge, hi rez version for your enjoyment. Thanks slashfilm.
Final Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen Poster
The final poster for Michael Bay’s “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”. Not sure why they put the factory in the background, and where’s The Fallen? Shouldn’t the baddie whose name is in the title at least get a spot in the final poster? Guess not. “TF2″ opens June 24. Poster via Yahoo! Movies.
Star Trek (2009) Movie Review
Let’s face it, Trek hasn’t been Trek these last few years, so it was probably a good idea to go back and re-invent the wheel. Which is exactly what J.J. Abrams and screenwriters Robert Orci and Alex Kurtzman (“Transformers”) have done with the blessing of the studio. And what they have done, by introducing a time-travel storyline, is to essentially remake the Trek universe for today’s audiences, complete with a young cast and the ability to do whatever they want in future Trek movies. Time travel stories have always been tricky business, but the Trek franchise has always been adept at delving into them while still maintaining their universe’s status quo at the end of each episode or movie. Not so here. Abrams and company have essentially nuked the Trek franchise, leaving them free and clear to tell whatever stories, and make Kirk and company do whatever they want from now on, free of the obligation to stick to Trek canon. Whether that is good or bad, and if the fans will come along for future installments remains to be seen.
