Trailer Park

Wow, who would've thunk it, but check out this trailer for a kids movie that's worthy of a kid's imagination: City of Ember [quicktime trailer].

Post-apocalypse! For Kids! Featuring an evil Bill Murray! Moi, je suis sold.

Oh, wait... it's based on a book. Well, maybe i'll do some summer reading then (outside of the usual Heidegger and Jughead's Double Digest). It's part of a trilogy so that's kind of annoying, but at least it's not 9 million pages like some other children book franchises.



In other trailer news, last night the 9th annual Movie Preview Awards (or Golden Trailers) were televised. And you'll be happy to know that The Dark Knight won for best action trailer, and I think it also won best overall trailer. That's what I thought when I watched it last night, but there's no proof of that on their website. In any case, it won for the 2nd version of the trailer, the very Joker heavy one that was released in January.

Check out the website for other winners. Awards were even handed out for posters. My kind of awards show (Sinbad hosted!).
