Films - The New Rambo Trailer, Zodiac and Die Hard 4.0

Check this out if you haven't seen it. A trailer for the new Rambo film titled John Rambo. This trailer was released for the Cannes film festival and is currently doing the rounds on the internet.

It blows my mind how much screen violence they packed into this trailer. This is blatantly going to be the best film of next year (it's not actually released until May 2008).

Before you watch and while we're on the subject of films, I'll tell you about Zodiac which I went to see last night. That had me engrossed from start to finish. If you don't know about it, it's a factual based film about the Zodiac killer who terrorised San Francisco in around 1969. They manage to pack so much into the film. It's not for people with short attention spans. The cast rules too - Jake Gyllenhaal, Robert Downey Jnr, MArk Ruffalo and a guy called John Carroll Lynch who plays the main suspect in the case and is as creepy as the Toothfairy in Manhunter.

Also, before Zodiac, I was presented with the trailer for Die Hard 4.0. This looks like a total turd. To give you an idea - there's one bit where McClane walks on the back of a jet fighter!?!?. It looks like someone totally missed the point and decided to overblow the whole franchise. If it was a bond movie, fair enough, but everyone knows McClane's just a flatfoot copper who gets involved with European terrorists and generally isn't too lythe a character to be prancing around on the back of a fighter plane.

The plot sounds equally out of sorts with the other Die Hard movies. The world wouldn't lambast the producers of the movie for putting McClane in a position where international terrorists are trying to blow up a shopping centre that McClane just happens to be browsing round. But no, Hollywood, wanting to make out that it's keeping up with what's up in the world, has McClane foiling a hacker who wants to switch off the internet............oh kay.

Enough of shit films though. Here's the new Rambo trailer. Enjoy,



P.S. I would have got this Rambo trailer up sooner but YouTube said it would do it for me then flaked on the offer and didn't even have the balls to email me to tell me so.
