The Ya Trailer Watch

The YA Trailer Watch

Catch it here first! We are on the lookout for the freshest, hottest and coolest YA trailers as they come out, with the bare basics laid out for your enjoyment. Watch this space and enjoy, coming soon to a theater near you!

INTO THE WOODS
 
Summed up as: IT’S HERE! IT’S HERE! The Disney live action film based on the Sondheim classic with the most killer cast this century.
Coolest thing about the trailer: OTHER THAN MERYL HERSELF, we think her onscreen reunion with Emily Blunt will make a fairytale in its own right.
Did they show too much? No! And we’re quite thrilled that Johnny Depp chose to stay in the background for once. At least in this teaser.
Worth seeing opening weekend? The biggest YES of the entire year.

NO CAMERAS ALLOWED

Summed up as: Just think of it! A series on MTV about…music!
Coolest thing about the trailer: How pirate-concert-filmer-turned-fledgling-music-videographer James Marcus Haney figures out ways to sneak into wherever he wants backstage.

Watch or DVR? Lets give props to MTV for working on something other than Sixteen and Pregnant.

Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb
 
Summed up as: The third go-round for Ben Stiller and company.
Funniest thing in the trailer: Rebel Wilson. Rebel Wilson. Rebel Wilson.
Coolest thing about the trailer: Ben Kingsley serving up full 80s Mannequin energy in full Pharaoh Egypt regalia.
Worth seeing opening weekend? No, but why not the second or third weekend when you have time?

SPONGEBOB SQUAREPANTS: SPONGE OUT OF WATER
 
Summed up as: Another party at movie theaters for the kiddies (and adulties) with Spongebob and friends!
Weirdest thing in the trailer: Definitely Antonio Banderas as the piratey villain.
Coolest thing about the trailer: The combo of traditional 2D animation (with S’bob as we know and love him) and the newfangled 3D CGI guy. But will it work?
Worth seeing opening weekend? Take the kids, and a break in the AC.

MARVEL RETROSPECTIVE
 
Summed up as: This is in fact a look back at Marvel Universe’s Phases I & II, but with some amazing peek-a-boo teasers to Age of Ultron.
Coolest thing about the trailer: Trying to pinpoint the new stuff from the old (but still cool). We’re suckers for a montage.
Weirdest thing: Trying to decipher the (so far) very weak link between Guardians and the rest of the Marvel galaxy.

TESTAMENT OF YOUTH

Summed up as: A wartime costume drama with a YA perspective that actually looks very well done.
Most beautiful thing in the trailer: Kit Harrington (of Pompeii and Game of Thrones)
Other most beautiful thing in the trailer: Captain America’s Hayley Atwell.
Worth seeing opening weekend? Only if this is your thing.
