The Hottest Movie Previews!

There's something I just love about going to the movies! It's a combination of the big screens and the group setting, but getting out to a new movie right on the weekend when it opens really is something special.

Having a full movie house really does change how a movie is experienced. It's not just you laughing or jumping in your seat, it's dozens of people. Seeing the images in the size and format that the director intended also makes seeing films in theater different than at home.

I love watching movie trailers. This hub will show trailers from movies opening this weekend, extending out for the next few months. My main criteria for picking them will be things I think look interesting.

On September 1, 2008 the world of movie trailer changed forever. On that day Don LaFontaine, the most prominent voice-over actor in the industry, passed away. You may never have heard his name, but with over 5,000 movie trailers to his credit. (and that's not even counting nearly 750,000 television commercials, promotions and video game bits!)

His services were so in demand he could sometimes record up to 35 projects a day. Based on contracts signed, his workload made him officially one of the highest-employed actors in the Screen Actors Guild and he is estimated to have earned several millions of dollars a year, doing these small vocal parts that often only last for about two minutes. He frequently wrote his own copy for the movie trailers, and famously created the line that starts "In a world where..." as a way of quickly establishing plot points and setting the scene for movie trailers.

When Ed Harris was helping to promote the David Cronenberg film A HISTORY OF VIOLENCE, he brought along a copy of the book APPALOOSA to give to actor Viggo Mortensen. Harris was in the process of adapting the story for a film he would self-direct and star in, and he wanted Mortensen to co-star.

In HOV they were violent foes, in this classic Western they are long-time gunslingers and friends, for whom a woman is the one thing that comes between them after many years together.
