Killdroid Teaser! And More Photos!
June 22, 2008So I did a little more sleuthing on this upcoming film that I wrote about before. The film is called Killdroid: A Mechanical Love Affair, and is directed by Filipino auteur Rico Maria Ilarde. Anyway, it turns out that the film’s teaser has been released by its US distributor, Mondo Macabro.
And holy shit, was that terrible. Not “terrible” in a “so bad it’s bound to be awesome kind of like Snakes On A Plane-terrible,” but just “terrible-terrible.”
I don’t know, there’s something about scoring Filipino movies that makes it seem like they’ve been using the same intruments and technology since the 1980s. The cinematography is beautiful, though. But it was poorly paced and THERE WERE NO TITS.
Considering how they’ve initially marketed this as an erotic gorefest, they should’ve went for the jugular and released a 2-minute red band montage of blood and tits. I’m hoping that that would be the case when they shell out a new trailer.

The Dark Knight Trailer! Okay!
April 29, 2008So apparently, the last viral campaign by The Dark Knight didn’t simply result in an announcement as to when the trailer will premiere (this Sunday). It’s just that the online participants were led to the Happy Trails site where it mentioned the release of the new trailer.
On the other hand, their partners on the ground were instructed to enter a particular cinema in their respective cities, where they were treated to the trailer, and one fan managed to snag a video. Grab it while you can:
This is definitely the one which was also shown at the New York Comic Con two weekends ago, as described here.
Check back on Sunday or Monday, as we’ll definitely bring you the official trailer when it’s released.
Thanks to thegreatest for the heads up.
The Spirit Teaser Finally Online!
April 20, 2008
And I’m pretty sure this is kind of illegal, but what the hell. I credited MTV.com anyway.
Sin City had a vibe which translated impeccably to the screen, and it’s becoming very clear that Frank Miller is going to pattern The Spirit after it.
Honestly, I wasn’t all too familiar and this immensed with the source material until after I found out about a big screen version being made, so I have no qualms. As a general film aficionado and an occasional comic book fan, I really, really, really am excited to see this.
MTV also has some interviews up with Frank Miller and Eva Mendes which you can view by clicking here.
So what do you guys think? Does anyone have any complaints as to the film’s apparent unfaithfulness to Eisner’s work?
