With next week’s release of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince hitting theaters on Wednesday, there seems to be more and more focus on what trailers Warner Bros. will attach to the film, seeing as how this is the biggest release for the studio this year. One film that seems to be attracting most of the excitement is the adaptation of the children’s book Where the Wild Things Are.
The original trailer hit a few months back, which looked pretty cool. From there, it seemed to have developed it’s own growing fan base, so you can imagine how excited the rest of the world will be in moments leading up to the Harry Potter film.
With that trailer we are also expected to get a first look at Robert Rodriguez’s Shorts. Starring James Spader, William H. Macy, and Leslie Mann, the film is about a magical rock that grants wishes to a small town called Black Falls. This will more than likely fall on the side of Rodriguez’s Sharkboy and Lava Girl, rather than his work with Tarantino and Grindhouse.
Finally, there will be a new trailer for the Guy Ritchie, Robert Downey Jr. project Sherlock Holmes. The film looks to be a blockbuster, which is different for Ritchie, but should only add to the pile of Downey’s Iron Man popularity. See all the footage with Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Wednesday, July 15.
Sure, we may not the first to bring you this new trailer but really, who cares? Like we need an excuse to watch, and talk about, anything with Robert Downey, Jr. in it. The trailer in question is, of course, for director Guy Ritchie’s upcoming Sherlock Holmes starring Downey, Jr., Rachel McAdams and Jude Law. Now, thanks to the folks at Trailer Addict , we can bring you the new trailer for the film in all of its cinematic awesomeness. Or, at least in that little window down there.
In case you’re not familiar with this new, improved version of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic detective, the story concerns Holmes and his trusted sidekick Watson as they embark on their latest challenging mystery. Revealing “fighting skills as lethal as his legendary intellect, Holmes will battle as never before to bring down a new nemesis and unravel a deadly plot that could destroy the country.” Plus, there’s probably a lot of freeze frame and extreme slow motion shots — but probably no Madonna.
Sherlock Holmes hits theaters on December 25th (aka Christmas). Meantime, check out the trailer right here.
