New The Three Stooges Movie Trailer

“Before jackass…there was dumbass…”

Is there a plot to The Three Stooges? Maybe, but it’s certainly not evident with the latest trailer. This final theatrical trailer for the comedy shows off the slapstick and little else (other than a good look at Sofia Vergara’s assets). And if you’re into The Three Stooges, scenes of them bopping each other is probably all you need. For the rest of us, the jury is still out on whether there’s enough to The Three Stooges (2012) to make it worth a trip to the theater.

Watch the trailer:

The Three Stooges opens in theaters on April 13, 2012.

‘Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter’ Unveils Trailer #2

“However history remembers me before I was a President, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth…”

Abraham Lincoln was not only America’s 16th President, but he was also a slayer of vampires. That’s the premise of Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter directed by Timur Bekmambetov (Wanted) and based on the bestselling novel of the same name by Seth Grahame-Smith (who also adapted the book for the screen). Benjamin Walker endured seven hours a day in the make-up chair in order to transform into one of America’s greatest presidents, but the lengthy process was obviously worthwhile as he looks fantastic as the title character.

Set to hit theaters on June 22, 2012, Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter also features Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Dominic Cooper, Anthony Mackie, Rufus Sewell, and Alan Tudyk.

The Plot:

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter explores the secret life of our greatest president and the untold story that shaped our nation. Visionary filmmakers Tim Burton and Timur Bekmambetov bring a fresh and visceral voice to the bloodthirsty lore of the vampire, imagining Lincoln as history’s greatest hunter of the undead.

‘Hit So Hard’ Trailer Starring Courtney Love

P. David Ebersole’s Hit So Hard is set for a limited theatrical release by Variance Films beginning in New York City on April 13th. Featuring Patty Schemel, Courtney Love Cobain, Melissa Auf Der Mar, and Eric Erlandson, Hit So Hard is a behind-the-scenes look into the lives of Kurt Cobain, Courtney Love, and the members of Love’s group, Hole.

The Story:

When Nirvana burst onto the scene in 1991, the music they played spoke directly to an angry and disenfranchised generation. Grunge took over MTV and radio overnight… but just three years later, the drug-related deaths of several musicians and the suicide of Kurt Cobain closed the books on an all too brief era.

Patty Schemel, the acclaimed drummer for Courtney Love’s seminal rock band Hole, was in the middle of all of it. The openly gay woman who always felt different never dreamed she would be in a multi-platinum band, touring with legends… or that, thanks to drug addiction, she could lose it all.

Given a video camera just before Hole’s infamous Live Through This world tour, Patty filmed everything the shows, the parties, and startlingly intimate footage of Kurt and Courtney. This footage has never been seen… until now. Not just an all-access backstage pass to the music that shaped a generation, Hit So Hard is a harrowing tale of overnight success, the cost of addiction, and ultimately, recovery and redemption.
