A rather long trailer for the upcoming 28 Weeks Later has just been released by Fox/Atomic and I have to say that it’s not looking as bad as I was expecting. The movie seems to be a cross between 28 Days Later and Children of Men, what with the whole post-apocalyptic theme and all that jazz. Of course, I have no doubt that it will not live up to its monumentally good predecessor, but hell, I’ll give it a chance. Head on over to Apple Trailers to watch it for yourselves.

According to the folks over at Bloody Disgusting, the trailer for Resident Evil: Extinction is due to go online in the next couple of days. Of course, this probably won’t interest any of you because the public and critical consensus seems to have branded the previous Resi flicks as pure drivel. Nevertheless, keep checking the official site during the weekend and maybe you’ll catch a glimpse, whether you want to or not!

In keeping with my recently zealous (and rightly so) coverage of anything to do with Zack Snyder’s 300, it gives me great pleasure to present to you, the new and final trailer. However clichéd the word ‘epic’ may be in a cinematic context, I challenge you to stop it from springing to mind as you watch this 2 and a half minute montage of pure Spartan power edged with an undeniable sense of cool. I think its pretty clear that I am almost too excited about this movie; if it doesn’t turn out to be good I think I shall lose faith in humanity altogether. Take a dekko at the video for yourself at Yahoo Movies.

A new, considerably longer trailer for Hot Fuzz has been uploaded to the official Working Title films site. The trailer is fairly lengthy and features, as you’d expect, a few gags and some pretty sweet looking snippets of action. It’s a reminder that February is looming ever closer and the ravenous hordes of fans are getting restless, their home-made police costumes can barely stand the mothballs and its not long before they all come out in…force. Anyway, ignore my awful pun and catch the vid over at WorkingTitleFilms.com.

I’ve been so busy that I actually missed this completely, a shameful oversight I know. That aside, Warner Bros have released a minuscule snippet of action from the 5th Harry Potter film (Order of the Phoenix) showing Daniel Radcliffe, in all his hair-cropped glory and Dumbledore delivering a bit of of one of his usual, influential speeches. The teaser is pretty brief (hence it being a ‘teaser’) but will no doubt cause gushing palates all-round amongst the countless online HP communities, who would probably wax lyrical even if it looked crap. Anyway, you can still check the trailer out over at the official site - enjoy.

The first teaser trailer for Hostel: Part II has hit Yahoo Movies and gives you a glimpse into the equally brutal follow-up to his 2005 success. The film follows a similarly orientated plot when compared with it’s predecessor, as a group of women (Lauren German, Heather Matarazzo and Bijou Philips) travel to a remote Slovakian hostel on the strength of a recommendation. Needless to say, their relaxing trip goes a bit wrong and carnage ensues. Yes, I know it sounds amazing but you’re going to have to curb your enthusiasm for a while because the movie isn’t scheduled for release until next year.

A promo trailer for Zack Snyder’s big screen adaption of the graphic novel “300″ by Frank Miller, was posted exclusively today over at Movies For The Masses and all I can say is…well, it looks jaw-dropping. The movie follows a group of 300 Spartan warriors - some of the world’s most elite soldiers - who are chosen meet an advancing Persian army in battle in order to effectively stall them before an invasion of Greece. Grossly outnumbered and almost certain to die, the Spartans fight regardless, believing in the mantra that a Spartan’s greatest honour is to die in battle. But anyway, back to details about the 3 minute snippet itself, which I must reiterate, is juicy enough to drool over. I keep telling myself it’s too early to predict whether Snyder’s project is actually going to be as epic and intense as it comes across in the promo - but realistically, after witnessing such a spectacle, I can’t see it straying very far from the mark.

It just came to my attention that you can catch (I know, I know) the newly uploaded trailer for Philip Noyce’s upcoming “Catch a Fire”, over at the official Working Title Films site - it possesses an interesting premise and looks to have been executed with typical Noyce style. Anyway, set in the 1980’s during South Africa’s Apartheid-era, “Catch a Fire” is a drama based on the true story of Patrick Chamusso, that revolves around a policeman and a young man that carry out individual attacks against the Government. Starring Tim Robbins, Derek Luke and Bonnie Henna, “Catch a Fire” is scheduled for an October release in the US and an early 2007 release everywhere else.

The official trailer for Takashi Miike’s next upcoming flick, Taiyo No Kizu (Scars on the Sun) starring Sho Aikawa, has gone live and can be seen over at Japanese movie site CinemaParadise.co.jp. Plot information is rather scarce at the moment, especially because of the relatively cryptic description on the official site, but judging by this trailer it’s going to be another morbid, although presumably exciting, couple of hours from the Cult Legend. To find out more about the movie, visit the official site - however, if you can’t read Japanese you may want to try using babelfish.

The last round-up I did met with positive approval, so I will continue doing this as a monthly feature henceforth. Anyway, unsurprisingly, August was a month that brought us a multitude of delectable treats to drool over and no, before you mention it, I’m not talking about Snakes, Planes or anything of the Samuel L. Jackson variety. If you’re not going to read on without some kind of coherent description, think more along the lines of guns, motels, royalty and er, well, just read it.
