Game of Thrones (HBO) Season 2 Trailer

I heard 3 horns blow at the end of the trailer! Anyone who read the books should know exactly what that means! This should be a interesting season for sure. Based on this trailer, they are moving forward with A Clash of Kings. I still don’t understand why they didn’t call the series “A Song of Ice and Fire” and subtitle it each season with the book name. That is probably my only complaint. HBO has truly done justice to such an amazing piece of literary work. Cant wait until April 2012! Winter is COMING!

Voyage of the Dawn Treader (Trailer)

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.
