Interweb Gems: Coming Attractions Part 2

Ok as promised, though a day or two late, here are three of the most anticipated summer releases, as voted on by me!

First is Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. Sequel to the 2007 hit, Transformers, the Decepticon forces return to Earth on a mission to take Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf) prisoner, after the young hero learns the truth about the ancient origins of the Transformers. Joining the mission to protect humankind is Optimus Prime and the rest of the Autobots who are ready to "transform and roll out" for this second epic battle. From director Michael Bay.


Next up is J.J. Abrams' Star Trek reboot. It is a chronicle of the early days of James T. Kirk (Chris Pine) and his fellow USS Enterprise crew members. An awesomely nerdy cast includes "Heroes" Zachary Quinto as Spock, Simon Pegg as Scotty, and Eric Bana as the villain Nero.
FUN FACT: Augusta's own, Rachel Nichols who plays Orion in the new Star Trek film will also be in the upcoming GI Joe film as Scarlett O'Hara. Thanks for keeping the dream alive Rachel!

Finally the last film is the one I've been waiting for since i was a child, Where the Wild Things Are. Based on the most beloved children's book of all time by Maurice Sendak is the adventures of a young boy named Max who, after being sent to bed for misbehaving, imagines that he sails away to where the wild things are. From director Spike Jonze.

  1. The "Where the Wild Things Are" trailer had me near tears the first time I saw it.
