The Hills Have Sequel Trailer
Filed under: Horror », Trailer Trash », 20th Century Fox », Remakes and Sequels »
I don't know how many of my horror geek brethren out there enjoyed last year's Hills Have Eyes remake as much as I did, but in a sub-genre filled with mindless chaff like When a Stranger Calls and The Fog, I think it's important to throw some love towards the hardcore horror remakes that aren't afraid to "go extreme" once in a while. (Hey, the pre-teens have their PG-13 "thrillers" to enjoy; let us grown-up gorehounds get a treat every now and then!) So when I heard that Fox Atomic was mounting a "quick turnaround" sequel, I was partially psyched and partially skeptical. And then I visited the Hills 2 set ... and then I watched this brand-new theatrical trailer.The first flick(s) dealt with a domesticated family that ends up stranded in the middle of a New Mexico desert populated by mega-freaky mutant cannibals. Written by horror-master Wes Craven and his son Jonathan, The Hills Have Eyes 2 subtracts the families, adds a platoon of soldiers and retains all the mega-freaky mutant cannibals. Check out the promo piece and see if this is the kind of horror you dig. The Martin Weisz-directed (and inevitably hard-R rated) flick opens March 23, so you still have a few weeks to decide. (Chicken.) And to those among you who vaguely remember a movie called The Hills Have Eyes Part 2, fear not: This sequel is NOT a remake of that sequel ... thank the lord.
300 Just Keeps Looking More and More Awesome

First we got the promo clip. Then came the teaser trailer. And now comes the biggest treat so far: the full-bore theatrical trailer. At this point the only thing that can satisfy me is the actual movie!! I'm talking, of course, about Zack Snyder's 300 -- which I once called Sin City meets Gladiator, and after watching the all-new video clip I see no reason to amend that early, glib prediction.The newest trailer offers a little bit more of everything: more violence, more shrieking women, more dazzling FX and more wild animals / sweaty mutants with swords in their mouths and arrows in their necks. Or something like that. Basically this new trailer just drifted through my eyeballs like so much sugar-coated crack. Needless to say, I can't really wait to see this freakin' flick already -- and if it sucks I'll not only be astonishingly disappointed, but pretty darn surprised.
Starring a ridiculously fit Gerard Butler, as well as Lena Headey, David Wenham and Dominic West, 300 comes from the fan insta-favorite who shocked us all by delivering a really solid Dawn of the Dead remake a few years back. The source material is Frank Miller's, obviously, and Frank's source material was an event handily summarized in this Wikipedia article. March 9 is really shaping up to be a banner day for movie nerds: 300 will open alongside the mega-muchly-anticipated Hot Fuzz AND the certifiably awesome monster movie The Host -- and I say they'd make for one heckuva triple feature!
