The new trailer for the highly anticipated Tron sequel is actually pretty sick. Disney has definitely found a way to give you just enough to get all your senses buzzing. Boasting the latest in 3D technology and visual affects while combining it with Daft Punk’s awesomeness, this is sure to be a blockbuster hit. I cant wait till December!

After being transported into the surreal landscape of a mainframe computer to destroy an intruder (Tron), a programmer finds himself allied with the leader of a rebellion against a corrupt cyber-entity. ‘Tron Legacy’ is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that’s unlike anything ever captured on the big screen. Sam Flynn (GARRETT HEDLUND), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (JEFF BRIDGES), looks into his father’s disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin’s loyal confidant (OLIVIA WILDE), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous. – In Theaters December 17th, 2010.

The Chronicles of Narnia series was the starting point in regards to my obsession with fantasy novels and folklore. I received the box set as a Christmas present in elementary school and have been hooked to the fantasy genre ever since. The trailer looks pretty good and I cant wait to see how they bring the Voyage of the Dawn Treader to life. One of my favorite books from the series.

Lucy and Edmund Pevensie return to Narnia with their cousin Eustace where they meet up with Prince Caspian for a trip across the sea aboard the royal ship The Dawn Treader. Along the way they encounter dragons, dwarves, merfolk, and a band of lost warriors before reaching the edge of the world.

The Tempest Trailer

Im a huge fan of fantasy films, but this one just has “dud” written all over it. Visually, it looks good, but I don’t see it living up to the Shakespeare Classic. Looks more like a made for television type of film rather than something I would pay for at the cinema. Your thoughts?

In her big-screen adaptation of Shakespeare’s mystical thriller The Tempest, Academy Award-nominated Julie Taymor brings an original dynamic to the story by changing the gender of the sorcerer Prospero into the sorceress Prospera, portrayed by Oscar winner Helen Mirren. Prospera’s journey spirals through vengeance to forgiveness as she reigns over a magical island, cares for her young daughter, Miranda, and unleashes her powers against shipwrecked enemies in this exciting, masterly mix of romance, tragicomedy and the supernatural.
