The eagerly anticipated trailer for Marvel's Thor has finally landed on the net.

Kenneth Branagh's take on Marvel's Norse god is due to hit cinemas in April 2011, and this is the first proper footage (bar some set visit snippets) that has been released outside the walls of Comic-Con.

So, how does it measure up? Considering the growing concern relating to the delay of the trailer, we were getting a little antsy, but this is an impressive promo.

Chris Hemsworth looks and sounds the part as Thor, wielding the lofty dialogue as powerfully as the enchanted hammer, Mjolnir. A shirtless shot will probably help draw in the lady demographics too.

Elsewhere Anthony Hopkins gives Thor a damn good talking to, setting the plot in motion, and giving a pretty concise summary of what we can expect plotwise.

Tom Hiddleston's Loki skulks moodily in the background, but the trailer has little space for him or Natalie Portman's Jane Foster.

Branagh looks to have a decent grip on the action too, with impressive set-pieces glimpsed on Earth and Asgard.

There have been some whispers that the 3D conversion isn't up to much, but we'll have to wait until this debuts in front of TRON: Legacy to be able to judge that.

Why are you still reading this? Check out the trailer now:

Thor is set to be released on April 29 2011 in the UK.

A full trailer for Beastly has made its way onto the web.

A teen update on Beauty and the Beast, it tells the story of Kyle (Alex Pettyfer), a spoilt NY high-schooler whose unfeasibly good-looking mug is cursed. The hideous beast then has to find true love without his valuable facial assets.

When the flick was first announced, it seemed like the producers might have been trying to ride the waves of Twilight's success. Some of the key elements are certainly familiar.

There's the cursed male romantic lead (played by a hunky Brit), the teen-stars-grown-up-cast (Vanessa Hudgens, Mary-Kate Olsen), the youngening of classic mythology.

But Beastly does look to be a slightly different, well, beast. The make-up work is certainly impressive, and Neil Patrick Harris is a welcome addition (as always).

Check out the trailer:

Beastly currently has 15 April 2011 pencilled in as a UK release date.

After much debate about the movie's future following the recent controversy surrounding Mel Gibson, the trailer for The Beaver is finally online.

The movie was set to be Mel Gibson's definitive comeback performance, before his phone-rant antics shoved it into release limbo.

The Beaver is now looking at a spring 2011 release, and you can check out the trailer below (that's the new poster above, too).

There are some pretty strong credentials here: it's based on a Black List script, it's directed by Jodie Foster (who also co-stars), and Anton Yelchin (Star Trek) and Jennifer Lawrence (Winter's Bone) fill out the 'young and hip' quotient.

Check out the trailer:

It's going to be impossible to completely separate any assessment of this movie from Gibbo's personal affairs, but this could certainly be the film to remind everyone that, yes, the man can act.

We can imagine the promotional junkets being pretty awkward though.

The first teaser trailer for Daniel Craig and Jon Favreau’s comic adap of Cowboys And Aliens has beamed online.

A mixture of footage already glimpsed earlier this year at Comic-Con, and snippets of new bits, it effectively sets up the film’s enticing central premise.

In a nutshell: Craig is a wanted man in 1873 Arizona whose incarceration is interrupted when aliens attack him and his peaceful village.

Check out the teaser below…

Though alien invasion films have suddenly become en vogue again (see this year’s Skyline and next year’s Battle: Los Angeles), Cowboys & Aliens should blow all the competition out of the sky.

Polished, genre-warping and just really freakin’ cool, if the titular battle didn’t already have us wetting ourselves with excitement, seeing Craig and Harrison Ford gruffing it out on screen definitely does.

Cowboys & Aliens opens 12 August, 2011.

At the weekend we brought you some promo footage of Green Lantern from the US show Entertainment Tonight - now the trailer that those clips came from is available online.

The ET footage did not impress, and unfortunately neither does this; the tone seems off, as do the effects, the acting, dialogue and editing.

You can see the trailer below;

In a word; clunky.

The trailer seems rushed, and in a rush, insecure and uncertain. Blake Lively, who scored rave reviews in The Town and is being considered Batman 3, is all over the place. Reynolds doesn't seem sure whether he's doing a comedy or not...

...and let's not even talk about the suit.

The film is still months away from release, but based on this evidence there is a lot of work yet to be done on both the film and our now low, low expectations.

Green Lantern is released June 17 2011

Back in September we brought you a report saying that Marc Webb‘s as yet Untitled Spider-Man Reboot “will feature both of Spidey’s most prominent love interests, the red-headed Mary Jane Watson, played in the last three movies by Kirsten Dunst, and blonde Gwen Stacy, which Bryce Dallas Howard played in Spider-Man 3″.

When we brought you that quote from EW, there were still a bevy of actresses reportedly meeting with Webb and the film’s star, Andrew Garfield about a leading lady role, and Deadline first reported that Sony had offered the role of Mary Jane Watson to the lovely Emma Stone (Easy A, Zombieland). We then found out just two days later that Stone had in-fact been cast in the film, just not as the crimson haired MJ but, in the lead role of the platinum haired Gwen Stacy.

At the time everyone had assumed that meant that the role of Mary Jane was still up for grabs in the reboot but, The Wrap has reported that the Mary Jane Watson character will not appear in Webb’s Untitled Spider-Man Reboot at all, and though there was talk of bringing her into the reboot at one time, the character has never appeared in James Vanderbilt‘s screenplay.

The Untitled Spider-Man Reboot is slated to hit theaters on July 3rd, 2012.

A completely dialogue-free montage of stunning destruction, the trailer combines a mournful soundtrack with awesome visions of a city in the throes of intergalactic conflict.

Nic Cage’s medieval actioner Season Of The Witch has had a new trailer released online.

It comes almost a whole year after the film’s first trailer debuted, before the film disappeared into obscurity, switching studio hands and having its release date bashed about.

Cage stars with Ron Perlman as a crusader and his friend, who return home weary from battle, only to find their homes have been destroyed by an outbreak of the Plague.

When a girl is held accountable for the misfortune, the two friends must transport her to a monastery for monks to lift her curse.

Check the trailer out below…

Ah, we do love a good medieval romp that has a trailer with a banging rock soundtrack.

Really, the signs aren’t particularly good for Cage’s troubled movie, with this new trailer attempting to paint the film as a giant period epic.

Will Season Of The Witch, now shunted to a January release date, blemish Cage's immaculate 2010 output? After Kick-Ass and the brilliantly nuts Bad Lieutenant, fingers crossed he keeps up the good work.

Romantic comedies are naff at the best of times. But New Year’s Eve could be earning itself a touch of class with the casting of Robert De Niro and Michelle Pfeiffer.

The duo is currently in talks to join the Valentine’s Day spin-off, which will begin shooting this December with Garry Pretty Woman Marshall at the helm.

Following Valentine’s Day’s blueprint, New Year’s Eve intertwines the stories of a group of New Yorkers as their New Year festivities throw up all sorts of romantic entanglements.

If cast, De Niro would play a bitter man at death’s door, while Pfeiffer would be a frustrated secretary who resolves to sort out her life (though we don't think she's related to Selina Kyle).

Meanwhile, Hilary Swank is also in talks to play the producer of the Times Square celebration, while Ashton Kutcher would be a New Year-hater – who no doubt expresses his distaste through a series of annoying, over-exuberant rants.

Though the prospect of De Niro and Pfeiffer joining the cast warms us to the film, we can’t help remembering that Valentine’s Day also featured a name/talent-heavy cast, and was still as much fun as a colonic irrigation.

The Farrelly Brothers have served up a trailer for their latest comedy, Hall Pass - though comedy may be a bit of a stretch.

A far cry from their heyday, Hall Pass sees Owen Wilson and best bud Jason Sudeikis - both married men with itchy feet - given a week off from their marital vows by their wives, in which to sow their wild oats.

The plan doesn't exactly work out as they'd hoped, however, as they find that their comfortable married lives have left them a little out of the loop.

You can see the trailer below;

Hardly Dumb and Dumber, is it.

The Farrelly Brothers are in need of a hit, and though film comedy may have changed since the pair revolutionised tastes with their gross-out humour, serving up what appears to be a laugh free bonanza is no way to get back on top.

Hall Pass is due in UK cinemas early next year.
