New 'A Christmas Carol' trailer is here

A Christmas Carol

It's been a while since we last got to see a new trailer for Robert Zemeckis' upcoming 3D motion-capture adventure "A Christmas Carol," but a new preview has landed online, and you can see it after the jump.

In the new version of the classic tale, Ebenezer Scrooge begins the Christmas holiday with his usual miserly contempt, until the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and Yet to Come take him on an eye-opening journey.

Jim Carrey is the real star of the film, stepping into the roles of Scrooge and the three ghosts. This new trailer contains new action-packed footage we haven't previously seen, and it promises quite a fun ride in 3D.

This and that in film news: 'Dark Knight' sequel to shoot in 2010?; 'Pirates 4' shooting next Spring

Gary Oldman in The Dark Knight

Here are some things you shouldn't miss on this July 24, 2009:

• At Comic-Con, Gary Oldman, who stars in the upcoming "The Book of Eli," announced that a follow-up to "The Dark Knight" will shoot next year. "I think the next Batman is next year," he said. "We start shooting next year. You didn't hear that from me." Already? (via Coming Soon) UPDATE: Well, turns out Oldman was kind of joking. What the hell?

Coming Soon also chatted with Disney's Oren Aviv, who said this about "Pirates of the Caribbean 4": "We're going to shoot 'Pirates 4' in April or May of next year," he said. "It's important to get the story right and it's important to me to scale it down, because we can't get bigger."

• A sequel to the recent horror flick "The Strangers" is set for principal photography this fall. The first one grossed $54 million. Laurent Briet will direct "Strangers 2," which Bryan Bertino wrote. Plot details are kept under wraps. (Variety)

Stunning 'The Book of Eli' trailer debuts online

Denzel Washington in The Book of Eli

To be honest, I wasn't quite sure what to think about Allen and Albert Hughes' upcoming drama "The Book of Eli," a sort of post-apocalyptic western starring Denzel Washington in the lead. Now that I saw the film's teaser trailer, however, I admit I'm quite excited about this project.

The story follows Washington as Eli, a badass hero who travels across America to pass on the knowledge of what could be society’s only way to redemption. Protecting this knowledge, however, seems to be quite a challenge, but Eli will stop at nothing to complete his mission.

The trailer below looks quite stunning, and even though it only shows Washington strolling across plenty of wasteland and showing viewers he's not someone to be messed with, the footage managed to grab my attention. I am indeed intrigued by "The Book of Eli," which opens Jan. 15, 2010.

Also part of the cast are Gary Oldman, who's a small-town despot willing to do anything to get a hold of Eli’s book; Mila Kunis, who plays a woman who first tries to betray but later joins Eli on his quest; and Ray Stevenson, Jennifer Beals and Michael Gambon.

The Hughes brothers, who last helmed “From Hell,” are directing Gary Whitta’s script, which Anthony Peckham rewrote. Warner Bros. and Alcon Entertainment are producing the project.

'The Unborn' trailer is alive

The shabby horror thrillers just keep coming, don’t they? Wait, let me rephrase that. The shabby trailers for horror thrillers just keep coming. Although I’ll certainly give the flick a fair chance, the footage below doesn’t really promise us anything we haven’t seen yet too many times over the past years.

Directed by David S. Goyer, “The Unborn” follows a young woman (Odette Yustman) haunted by an unborn spirit. Gary Oldman, Meagan Good, Jane Alexander and Carla Gugino co-star. The film opens Jan. 9, 2009. Goyer most recently directed the mediocre “The Invisible.”

Enjoy the trailer (via MTV) right after the jump. And watch out for a short Matt Damon cameo. Can you spot him?
