Danny Trejo in Bad Ass, a Real Movie, Seemingly Inspired by a Meme

Back in February 2010, a video was taken of a 67-year-old white man, Thomas Bruso, getting into a fight with a black man on a bus due to what seemed to be an argument based on a racial misunderstanding. The 67-year-old man, after trying to avoid any kind of confrontation by moving to another seat on the other side of the bus, happened to be wearing a shirt that said, “I am a motherf**ker,” and despite his efforts to avoid the fight, got into one anyway. The man he was fighting with actually threw the first punch, but then surprisingly, Bruso quickly jumped out of his seat and subdued the man via a flurry of punches, earning the Internet title of “Epic Beard Man.” His shirt obviously helped garner the Internet’s attention. Now, it seems Danny Trejo will be in a movie entitled Bad Ass inspired by Bruso, trailer above.

Official Trailer for Men in Black III: Two Grown Men Talkin’ to the Wall, Wall Talkin’ Back

The perpetually troubled Men in Black III finally has an official trailer. The story features Will Smith traveling back in time to save Tommy Lee Jones from, I don’t know, extinction? Unfortunately, that seems to mean that Tommy Lee Jones will not be in the movie as much as fans would like, as Will Smith deals with a younger Agent K, played by Josh Brolin. Either way, the trailer looks like your par-for-the-course Men in Black humor and Will Smith being charming. Hitting theaters May 25, 2012.

First Look at Joss Whedon’s Not-A-Slasher Flick Slasher Flick The Cabin in the Woods [Video]

After much waiting, Joss Whedon’s The Cabin in the Woods will be making its way to theatre’s on April 13th. Quite frankly, I’m not a big Joss Whedon fan, nor had I ever heard of this movie prior to watching the above trailer, but I say this without a shred of compensation (hint hint) that it looks pretty great. What starts as a straight-forward slasher movie hook quickly changes into a bizarre barage of Sci-Fi and horror. Speaking optimistically, the movie looks to be a careful post-modern dissection of a slasher flick, complete with unseen powers stage-managing horror movie tropes from behind the scenes. Sort of like that dog from Silent Hill 2. You know the one.

StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm Trailer

Though we waited forever to get our hands on StarCraft II, and though we then learned that the game would be releasing in three parts instead of one whole part, and then we learned that the subsequent thirds would take a couple or so years each to release, we’re still pretty excited for those thirds. Even if we’re pissed that Blizzard is really bad at releasing anything having to do with StarCraft in a timely manner, but then we check out the newly released trailer for the second installment, StarCraft II: Heart of the Swarm, and then we’re even more annoyed that Blizzard is really bad at releasing anything having to do with StarCraft in a timely manner.

According to the accompanying text posted along with the video, the footage is rendered entirely within the game’s engine, which is impressive considering all of the non-gameplay, cinematic footage, which you can check out in big, pretty format after the jump, and join us in being mad at Blizzard for taking too long. Yes, any amount of time that the game isn’t released is too long.

Poor Raynor...

Chronicle Trailer Looks Like What Would Happen if Superpowers Happened in Real Life

No, it’s not just people in ridiculous costumes shooting energy blasts at Best Buys and Starbucks, but a shaky cam, Blair Witch, Cloverfield, style look at three high school buds who develop superpowers. Unlike movies based on similar sentences, such as Sky High, they don’t seem to throw on costumes and fight bad guys, but based on the trailer (seen below the break), the movie seems to follow more along the lines of the BBC’s Misfits, a show in which delinquents get superpowers and basically screw around with them, for better or worse.

The trailer for this Max Landis written and Josh Trank directed movie sees the three friends screwing around with their powers, playing relatively harmless pranks on each other and unsuspecting victims, until one of the friends seems to lose control of himself and slowly turns down the path of the villain — except instead of making an elaborate weather control machine, or deciding to end the world’s pain by returning everyone to the Lifestream via murdering them with a giant meteor, the action seems more centered in what would actually happen in real life: Murdering an obnoxious driver out of road rage, and blowing up some cop cars chasing you. The film looks interesting at the very least, so head on past the break and check out the trailer in Big-O-Vision ™.

To the trailer!

The Uncharted 3 Launch Trailer, Featuring Nathan Drake in a Suit and Getting Beat Up By Everything [Video]

Hey, you guys! Uncharted 3: Drake’s Deception is so soon. Less than two weeks away! YOU GUYS! Check out this fresh launch trailer, in which lovable scamp (who murders so, so many bad guys, bordering on genocidal levels) Nathan Drake gets punched in the face a few times, thrown out of a window, hit by a van, tackled out of a car, blown up more than once, falls out of a plane, and gets consumed by a giant tidal wave. Head on past the jump for a larger version.

In which Nathan doesn't spare a pirate's feelings because he's a pirate...

The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Trailer Music Played Backwards is Awesome Easter Egg [Video]

At this year’s Game Developers Conference, Nintendo showed off a trailer for the upcoming The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. YouTube user FPawesome1 found an amazing little easter egg hidden in the trailer: If played backwards, the music may just drown you in a fangasm of nostalgia. I’ll wait while you listen to the trailer, then the audio extract.

All done? How awesome was that? For those scratching their heads, first off, for shame. Secondly, that was Zelda’s Lullaby from Ocarina of Time, one of the most iconic pieces of music in video game history. Thirdly, for shame.

Trailer for Zombie Game Dead Island is Amazing, Traumatizing

This is a trailer for upcoming zombie game Dead Island, developed by Techland and published by Deep Silver, slated to hit the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC sometime this year. My first response to this trailer was “…what?” Then when I found out this game is going to be a zombie-based first-person shooter, my response changed to “…why.” Note the deliberate period. Then I found out that the game is a sandbox zombie-based first-person shooter with four player drop in cooperative play that is heavily influenced by George A. Romero movies, and my response changed to “…well, at least this trailer happened.” The developers claim that we shouldn’t worry, and the game will be different from how the description makes it seem like it is going to end up. The trailer suggests a kind of Heavy Rain game with a zombie twist, but it’ll probably prove difficult to provide an emotional story when three other buds drop into co-op. My guess is that this trailer is more of a concept than anything that has to do with the game, other than the zombies. Hopefully I’m wrong about that. Head on past the break to be traumatized with a larger version of the trailer.
