We don't do this often enough, but it seems like every huge film that hasn't gotten a trailer debut in the last few weeks, got one today. If you're excited about The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water, Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb or Into the Woods then keep on reading.
If you're a huge Christopher Nolan fan like I am, then I'd stick it out to the end. I think you'll enjoy what you see.
We've had a big week of trailer debuts thanks to SDCC, but these might even strike a bigger chord with a smaller audience, as it were. The first three films are right in the wheelhouse of the younger set and, admittedly, a demographic that we underserve on the news side of things.
Fret no more, here are a few visual spectacles that will brighten your day.
The Spongebob Movie is long overdue. It's a Nickelodeon animated show that will soon be back for its 10th season. As one of the longest-running animated shows ever, it was only a matter of time before they made the leap to the big screen [edit: this is actually the second Spongebob Movie on the big screen, but the first to incorporate live-action along with animation].
As you can see from the trailer below, the leap came with certain "enhancements" that will be sure to please both kids and grownups alike. The Spongebob Movie: Sponge Out of Water hits the surf on February 13, 2015.
Just when you thought that the Night at the Museum series had said everything that it needed to say, here comes Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb. This time, everyone pops over to cheery old London for a bit of international flair. The shot of Sir Lancelot meeting Teddy Roosevelt is worth watching the trailer alone.
Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb features all of the same great actors that were sprinkled through the first two films and a few new faces that will surely inject some fresh life into the series. Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb will invade theaters on December 19.
If you're a big fan of Johnny Depp's hairy hand, then the Into the Woods trailer is for you. While it is technically a teaser, the biggest tease is Johnny Depp as the Big Bad Wolf. No really, you only see his hairy hand.
Thankfully though, the rest of the trailer does a great job of giving us a glimpse of the Broadway musical turned major Hollywood film. Into the Woods debuts on Christmas.
Finally today, Interstellar debuted its third and most revealing trailer to date this week. And yet, I still feel as though we haven't even scratched the surface of this movie. In true Christopher Nolan fashion, he's playing the cards tight to the vest and I'm OK with that.
Interstellar will hit theaters on November 7.
