Trailer Park: Killing Them Softly
Been looking forward to this one for ages - Killing Them Softly is the new movie from director Andrew Dominik (Chopper, Assasination of Jesse James), shot by Greig Fraser (Bright Star, Let Me In, Crossbow) and starring Brad Pitt (Dallas, Kalifornia).
Terrible title. The book it's based on is called Cogan's Trade.

Trailer Park: Skyfall UPDATE!
Looking forward to the next Bond movie. With a bit of luck the producers will capitalise on the best bits of the last two, while dropping the slow pace and boring dross.
Sam Mendes directs, Coen favourite Roger Deakins mans the camera.
Update: He's a new full length trailer too.

Trailer Park: Man of Steel
Teaser up for Zack Snyder's Superman three-boot. Check it out at Apple for the Russell Crowe/Jor-el version, Yahoo for the Kevin Costner/Pa Kent edition.
Looks restrianed and stylish. Let's hope Zack Snyder keeps his usual OTT theatrics under control all the way through.

Sketch! A Visual Tour of Silver Lake and Los Feliz
Great short portrait of sketch artist Stéphane Kardos from Kauri Multimedia (via @forksandtorches)
"Sketching has a sense of urgency that I love, the energy, the life that can come out of a sketch amazes me. It’s about spontaneity, enthusiasm, confidence. It’s giving the feeling of a place, the illusion that every element is here."

Re-Enter Sandman
Neil Gaiman (aka @neilhimself) sent this over to Comic Con to announce the return of Sandman later in the year. Really enjoyed reading (and re-reading) the series the first time around (can't believe it's the 25th anniversary though...). Here's the first new Sandman art from JH Williams III (who did a great job on Alan Moore's trippy Promethea series)
