Conan (CONAN)
Brett Ratner (BRATN) says the announcement of his involvement with the Barbarian remake was premature, as he first wants to direct Beverly Hills Cop IV (BHCP4). Fortunately, there aren’t enough fans left in either franchise to care much.

Watchmen (WATCH)
After releasing the umpteenth posters, Warner Bros. (WBROX) has unveiled a second trailer which includes a scene (spoiler alert) from the new ending that differs from the graphic novel. Fanboys are already waggin their tongues, which of course is the whole point.

Star Trek (TRK11)
Not to be outdone, Paramount (PARAX) has released just as many pictures for the relaunch of their iconic sci-fi franchise. A new trailer this weekend will no doubt have enough inconsistencies from Star Trek canon for Trekkies to nitpick over.

2012 (2012S)
Why does Roland Emmerich (REMME) hate humanity? The teaser for his next disaster film ends with “Google search 2012”. I’m sure soon to feature Google ads for The Day the Earth Stood Still (TDESS), 2012-ish (ATDBT) and Warner Bros.’ own 2012 (2012).

Dance Flick (DANCF)
The Wayans brothers are back and they have set their eyes on spoofing the rash of dance flicks with Save the Last Dance as the main target. That's like, umm, so eight years ago, yea!

Up (UP)
Pixar has released a trailer for its next summer release about the adventures of a helium balloon enthusiast. Let's hope the old man doesn't end up a Darwin Award winner.

The Spirit (SPIRT)
Successive trailers usually reveal more of a film as a release date nears. Lionsgate (LGFX) would rather show you just 30 seconds of quick cuts while hiding the rest of the Frank Miller film.

Oldboy (OLDBO)
If we were to name the worst possible director and star to remake this sadistic violent thriller, Steven Spielberg (SSPIE) and Will Smith (WSMIT) would surely be at the top. Guess who’s talking now.
