A pair (definitely no pun intended) of trailers to announce today. First off is the trailer to yet another video game to film adaptaion, D.O.A.: Dead or Alive. The good news is that it is helmed by Corey Yuen. You may remember him from his Hong Kong directorial days of “Du Sheng” (aka “All for the Winner” starring Stephen Chow in one of his most memoriable roles) and “Fong Sai Yuk 2″. Hopefully the powers that be will be allow him to lend his talent for directing engaging action sequences to the film which should result in a pretty decent summer action flick when it comes out. The downside to this little tale is the involvement of a certain Paul W.S. Anderson ( just waiting to sink another sucessful gaming franchise I’ll bet) as a producer of this film. Any further rants on this blinkin’ sod can be read here. Anyway, the great guys at comingsoon.net managed to score the trailer for the film so now the fanboys can stare at some real mammaries instead of digital ones.

The second discovery is the teaser trailer to Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Dead Man’s Chest”. I do believe that this teaser was not meant to be released this soon so check it out before the house of mouse decide to close the rat trap on this one. Although the quality of the footage is somewhat similar to that of a vid cam cinema copy, it does feature all the main cast members and the a certain Jack Sparrow traipsing through the tropical jungle, trying to avoid all manners of death. Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightly return and it is reported that Geoffrey Rush is back too which is kind of puzzling since he met his timely demise at the end of the first one. Oh well, the more zombie pirates the better! The Russians have proved to us again that they are not only proficient in the manufacture of alcoholic beverages but also in getting the scoop on this little morsel. The site is completely in Russian but one does not need a degree in Russian literature to figure that “medium resolution” refers to the trailer in question.

Update: Yahoo! Movies has just released an official version of the POTC2 trailer on their website. Check it out here!

Haha. Well, I really got nothing against the guy but his films are just juvenile.
If you like Johnny Depp, then keep a look out for “The Libertine”. Its supposed to be pretty good but it only opened in selected theaters around the US and it has not reached Buffalo yet…
