My computer’s MMX processor isn’t powerful enough to properly watch it, but hey, there’s a new, red-band (cussin’!) trailer for Funny People ! From what I could tell through the stuttered audio and slideshow-esque video that I was able to see, this film still looks funny (but not too funny, you know?) and genuine, so try to look past your seemingly-arbitrary resentment of Judd Apatow & Friends and let’s all agree this looks pretty good:

Over on the website TNMC (via AICN ), they have up a review of the Star Trek shooting script which picks out and describes the scenes that didn’t make the final cut — scenes that were probably shot and cut for a number of different reasons (pacing, running time, etc ..), but will hopefully arrive on the DVD. It’s a shame, too, because some of these scenes seem to address my main problem with the movie: the boring villain, Nero (as played by Eric Bana). The scenes in question (which involve an entire Klingon subplot!) appear to give Nero more depth as a character, so hopefully we’ll get to see them eventually. Here are a few descriptions from the site: “The opening sequence, which sees the destruction of the USS Kelvin at the hands of Nero and his mining ship the Narada, has an extra bit we didn’t see. While the Narada is trying to recover from being rammed by the Kelvin, bunches of Klingon warbirds decloak and surround it. This leads to a major subplot entirely removed from the final film.” “Next we go the Rura Penthe Klingon Prison Asteroid where Nero and his crew are being held. The Klingons catch someone trying to smuggle Federation maps to him. The Klingons begin to interrogate Nero, during which we learn that he has been there for ten years and hasn’t said a word that whole time. The Klingons have a notebook of his that is full of drawings and calculations relating to Spock and his Jellyfish ship. They decide to use that slug thing we saw Nero using on Captain Pike in the finished film.” Read more at SciFi Squad Filed under: Sci-Fi & Fantasy , Mystery & Suspense , RumorMonger , Fandom , Newsstand , Comic/Superhero/Geek , Remakes and Sequels Permalink | Email this | Comments

Have we learned nothing from the Keanu Reeves/Sandra Bullock romance The Lake House ? Time travel and love never works out! But that’s not going to stop Rachel McAdams and Eric Bana from trying in: The Time Traveler’s Wife ! Bana plays the oft-dissolving time traveler, who apparently time travels about willy-nilly, randomly reappearing at various times to date and eventually marry his titlular bride. It’s really romantic if you disregard corny dialogue and obvious paradoxes. Don’t trust this type, ladies. You know these smooth, time traveling dogs have time traveler’s wives all across their given timelines:

The Time Traveler’s Wife is one of those sad cases that has gone from “eagerly anticipated” to “when’s that coming out?” to vanishing off most people’s radar, which is dangerous considering it comes out this August. Hopefully, the trailer can awaken interest again, although it may be of the “Oh my God, they ruined the story!” kind. The trailer is up on Yahoo! Movies in high definition, but I’ve put an embed below the jump to make things easier for you. I haven’t read the book (I know, I know. My to-read list is endless, believe me), but I was under the impression it was a lot more heart wrenching and serious, whereas this looks rather lighthearted for a separated-by-time romance. I was hoping for a tear-jerker on the level of The Fountain, where separation is truly terrifying and horrendous, and not just a minor inconvenience for the holidays. Now, I know there’s some major fans of Audrey Niffenegger’s book out there, and I’m eager to hear some knowledgable analysis in the comments. Even if this isn’t the kind of love story that will tear out my heart and leave me emotionally battered, at least I know there will be Eric Bana to enjoy. He does cut a dashingly dissolved figure! The Time Traveler’s Wife hits theaters August 14, 2009.

Eric Bana poses with his co-stars at the Star Trek Germany premiere on Thursday (April 16) in Berlin, Germany. The 40-year-old star used to do impersonations, but quit after 10 years. “I got sick of listening to myself,” he says. “I had all the tools, but my act had stagnated and I felt dirty,” he told Details . “All I miss about comedy is being producer, director, and writer. I miss the control,” Eric said. See the Eric on the cover of Details and read more of the interview here . 10+ pictures inside of Eric Bana wowing at warp speed…

Eric Bana takes the May 2009 cover of Details Magazine , hitting stands April 21. The 40-year-old Aussie star shows his dark side in the new Star Trek movie (out May 9) and opens up about not being a star student and what really keeps him grounded. On his wrecked car, the ‘Beast’ : “It’s sitting there, not being used, but it’s still my emotional bedrock, my anchor.” On having to repeat a year of high school (he once went to school drunk) : “Yeah, I went through a little phase there. But I did a lot better than some of the guys I hung with, who have ended up dead or in jail… It wasn’t like I was busting to get into NASA or anything.” Check out the full article at Details.com .

In my last rambling screed against certain release dates, I noted that I couldn’t speak for the latest hiding place for The Time Traveler’s Wife , the oft-delayed adaptation of the acclaimed romance novel. From the look of things , though, Warner Bros. has bumped back the equally romantic Final Destination 4 3D back to August 28th in order to give the weekend of the 14th to Wife . And what a summer this has become for star Eric Bana (he’s the time traveler, not the wife). Between this, Star Trek in May and Funny People in July, the main Munich man has a nice marquee streak going for him, and of course, any excuse for a little more Rachel McAdams beyond April’s State of Play is nothing to sniff at either (unless this thing turns out to be quite the tearjerker). The move puts Wife up against the likes of family comedy Bandslam and sci-fi mystery District 9 , while Destination now opens opposite Rob Zombie’s Halloween 2 , which is exactly the type of horror offering that would make me want to see FD4-3D instead.
