Friday fun with trailers

I would start by revealing that there's gonna be a movie about "Sex and the City," but that kind of just makes me say meh. I did watch some of the show, and maybe it's just a chick thing that I simply didn't get, but those four women weren't ever nearly as funny or shocking as they thought they were.

Now, if the HBO news were that David Chase was immediately gonna turn his limbo ending of "The Sopranos" into a movie, than you'd really set me off. As it is, what I'm really excited about is that the first three seasons of "Deadwood" are coming to the Telegraph's "treadmill cinema" populated by myself and Rodney Manley (who in my absence pitched in with a review of that "Fantastic Four" flick.)

In the meantime, it's Friday and I'm running late, so I'm gonna take the very lazy route and simply embed two sensational-looking trailers I found on YouTube today.

The first is for Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution," which I predict will be easily one of the coolest movies to come out this year. As best as I can tell, it's a spy movie set in occupied Shanghai, and young Wei Tang is simply one of the most beauiful Asian women to hit the big screen in a long time. Look for it in the U.S. beginning Sept. 28. Enjoy!



The next, and to me even more exciting, is an extended one for David Cronenberg's "Eastern Promises." He, Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen are joining forces for a tale that seems to be about the Russian mafia and some kind of white slavery ring in London, or other really seedy business. The ladies will want to note that, in the trailer alone, Viggo shows off his bare, tattooed chest three times or so, and everyone else will be happy to know that Vincent Cassel and Armin Mueller-Stahl both have pretty big roles in this one too (and the script comes from "Dirty Pretty Things" scribe Steven Knight.) Look for it in the U.S. beginning Sept. 14.



Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair

If this is old news to everyone in the world but me, please forgive me, but it certainly sounds cool (if entirely inevitable.)

It seems that, on November 6, we'll finally get to see Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill" as one movie on DVD. A 247-minute movie, of course, but one movie nonetheless.

I can think of very few ways I'd rather spend a Saturday afternoon than by giving four more hours of my life to watching Uma Thurman kick ass for QT, so to this I can only say bring it on.
