Movie Trailers: Up and Land of the Lost

This might seem like a strange thing to create a new post about, but as I was in the theater getting ready to watch Disney's Race to Witch Mountain, I was thoroughly entertained by two movie trailers and I just had to tell you about them.

The first one for the upcoming Disney/Pixar animated adventure titled Up, which is about a crotchity old retired balloon salesman and an eager young scout as they set off on an adventure around the world. The first time I saw anything about Up, I had no idea what it was really going to be about. it almost seemed like some kind of artsy film of some kind, but every time they release a trailer that reveals more of the plot, I keep getting more and more excited to finally see it.


You can watch the same trailer that I saw tonight in the theater, here:

Up opens in theaters May 29th.

The second trailer was for the new Will Ferrell movie which is a very loose remake of the old TV series, Land of the Lost, from Universal Studios. I didn't remember hearing anything about this movie before seeing the trailer tonight, but now that I have seen it, it's one of the year's movies that I'm anticipating most!

I was excited to see Anna Friel as one of the co-stars in Land of the Lost. She was a star of one of my favorite shows, ABC's Pushing Daisies, which has unfortunately been cancelled.

Land of the Lost is hitting theaters on June 5th.

It's starting to look like this is going to be a very good year at the cinemas!
