In the wake of confirmation that Assassin’s Creed III will take place during the American Revolution, fans of the series are getting more details with Ubisoft’s release of the debut trailer for the game. The third installment will introduce a new hero of Native American/English descent, Ratohnhaké:ton (Connor), to take up the mantle in the war between the Assassins and Templars. The game is also touted as offering breakthroughs in visual quality, character models and artificial intelligence.
“Assassin’s Creed III features the franchise’s most expansive setting so far, along with an exciting new hero and exponentially more gameplay,” said Yves Guillemot, chief executive officer at Ubisoft. “Whether you’re a longtime fan of Assassin’s Creed or if you’re new to the franchise, you’re going to be blown away by the scale and marvel of Assassin’s Creed III.”

If you keep up with the convention scene, you’ve probably heard about Morgan Spurlock’s documentary about conventions: Comic-Con Episode IV: A Fan’s Hope. Spurlock follows real people traveling to Comic-Con in San Diego, and the preview shows a toy collector, a cosplayer, and an aspiring comic book artist.
Basically. the film will show what the convention experience is like and why fans get so caught up in it. From the trailer, it seems like it will paint an accurate picture of the event. It’s hard to tell from two minutes, but I get a good feeling about it – despite the fact that Spider-Man is spelled as Spiderman in the trailer. It’s the little things.
The limited run of the documentary starts on April 6.

We loved the book, and now Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter is coming to the big screen courtesy of producer Tim Burton.
I have to admit, I’m really looking forward to seeing this when it hits theaters on June 22nd. Of course, this is not to be confused with Stephen Spielberg’s upcoming movie Lincoln. Though the thought of Daniel Day-Lewis playing a President that also happened to be an axe-wielding vampire-killing machine made me laugh out loud.

The first full-length trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man has arrived (maybe Sony didn’t want to spend Super Bowl money on it), and it predictably paints a new, more modern picture of his origin story. Beyond that, it doesn’t really feel all that different than previous Spidey flicks. In other words, we haven’t seen anything yet that has convinced us that this franchise was worth rebooting.
Check out the trailer after the break, and let us know what you think in the comments and/or on Facebook and Twitter.

Unless you’ve been living in the desert of Tatooine you know that Star Wars: The Phantom Menace is being re-released in 3D next Friday. Lucasfilm is really marketing it to the kids, too. Just think, there’s an entire generation of kids who have only known Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series and have never seen Star Wars on the big screen. Maybe they’ve never even seen the prequels. They’re a prime demographic to focus marketing towards. However, if they’re trying to attract the same kids watching The Clone Wars, they’ve missed a beat.
The Clone Wars stars incredibly talented voice actors and often features pretty heavy and dark material. A war is spreading across the galaxy. Kids that watch the series are used to seeing an edge. The trailer for The Phantom Menace is voiced with a peppy, after school special tone that just rings as laughable. He actually says, “Chill out, Artoo.” Huh? It might be one of the most ridiculous bits of voiceover work ever. And keep in mind that I actually like the movie, so I’m not transferring feelings of hate.
I understand going after the younger crowd but give them some respect. View the trailer in all its silly glory after the break.

If you are a fan of The Hunger Games, you were probably thrilled to hear that a new trailer for the fight-to-the-death movie has been released. One minute later, you might have been left feeling underwhelmed. The trailer is really a television ad that reuses not a small amount of footage from the first (and awesome) trailer. You get glimpses of some new scenes; there’s a little of Caesar Flickerman interviewing Peeta and then Katniss, a touching moment between Cinna and Katniss, and an interesting twist on the story behind the mockingjay pin. Even with some rehashing, it still made me more excited to see the film on March 23rd.
