October may be months away, but as we trudge inevitably towards it, one thing is always certain: there will be a new “Saw” film. The series will supposedly wrap up with “Saw 3D,” and the teaser trailer is pretty much what we’ve all come to expect from the franchise. A jigsaw voiceover, dark images, screaming, deadly traps, etc. Just more of the same from a series that stopped being interesting after the second entry. Although it may be the end of the “Saw” era, I wouldn’t rule out a spinoff movie or a direct-to-DVD release to milk a few more dollars out of Jigsaw’s corpse.
The trailer for “The Debt,” a star-heavy remake of a 2007 Israeli film of the same name, was just released and looks surprisingly good. Starring Sam Worthington, Helen Mirren, and Tom Wilkinson as a group of Mossad agents tasked with hunting down a Nazi war criminal, the trailer gives off a pretty heavy “Munich” vibe, for obvious reasons. However, while “Munich” turned into a straight-up action-thriller, “The Debt” seems to be steeped in a lot less gunplay. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a fan of espionage films, and with a cast like this, it seems to be worth keeping an eye on.
I know I’ve posted trailers for Robert Rodriguez’s “Machete” before but I had to post the new red band trailer for it. In case you haven’t heard by now, the film is born from one of the “fake trailers” in 2007’s “Grindhouse” and stars Danny Trejo as a vengeful Mexican killer. Anyways, this trailer simply had too much wanton violence and rampant nudity to pass up, so enjoy.
