Finally saw the trailer for this before the sneak screening of Thor 2 last Thursday. I was totally under-impressed. It just looks like another empty-headed Hollywood attempt to rape a popular, currently inactive franchise character and "re-imagine" it to the point where it barely resembles the original at all. The trailer was basically 2 1/2 minutes of Sam Jackson hamming it up in a horrible-looking hairpiece, yelling at the camera, and a hasn't-aged-well-at-all Michael Keaton leaning across tables mumbling evil conspiratorial snippets ...and a whole lot of footage of the "new & improved" ED-209 and various crap blowing up. ***YAWN***
I suspect this thing will be about as "awesome" as the remakes of Total Recall and Fright Night.
