Anchorman: The Legend Continues Trailer — Ron Burgundy Takes on the '80s

It's finally here! Just hours after gracing us with an epic mustache poster, we have the first full trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues.

It's finally here! Just hours after gracing us with an epic mustache poster, we have the first full trailer for Anchorman: The Legend Continues. Ron Burgundy and his news team, including Brian Fantana (Paul Rudd) and Brick Tamland (Steve Carell), are back and ready to tackle a 24-hour news channel. It's now the '80s, and aside from some subtle fashion updates, Ron is basically the same: vain, vaguely racist, and totally hilarious. The trailer is also star-studded, and it gives us a peek at the many cameos from the likes of Kristen Wiig and James Marsden, plus the return of Veronica Corningstone (Christina Applegate).

Even if you're a longtime fan who's afraid the sequel may not be as good as the original, there's no way you can't be psyched about this movie. I laughed out loud several times and seriously just can't wait for the privilege of hanging out with Ron Burgundy again. Anchorman: The Legend Continues comes out Dec. 20, and you can watch the trailer now after the jump.

The Wolf of Wall Street Trailer: Leo Is Poppin' Bottles and Committin' Fraud

I hope you're ready to see Leonardo DiCaprio looking slick on screen yet again this year, because the Great Gatsby star is trading the '20s for the '90s in The Wolf of Wall Street's trailer.

I hope you're ready to see Leonardo DiCaprio looking slick on screen yet again this year, because the Great Gatsby star is trading the '20s for the '90s in The Wolf of Wall Street's trailer. DiCaprio stars as Jordan Belfort, a real-life stockbroker who made millions — but was convicted for committing fraud in the stock market. But at least, it seems, he had fun doing it: in the trailer, Jordan parties hard on his yacht, romances plenty of ladies, and dances like the police aren't knocking on his door. The movie, based on Belfort's memoir, is directed by Martin Scorsese, and has plenty of other big names besides its leading man, including Matthew McConaughey, Jonah Hill, and Kyle Chandler.

Where do I even begin with this trailer? The antics (monkeys! Tossing little people!) and high living are so over the top that it's funny (seriously, watch that scene of Leo dancing again). And not only is this from Scorsese, it's Scorsese and DiCaprio working together yet again — this is their fifth time, and it looks like it might even top their previous collaborations. I can't wait to see more from this movie when it comes out Nov. 15, and you can watch the trailer right now after the jump.

Touchy Feely Trailer: Rosemarie DeWitt Loses Her Touch

How weird would it be for a massage therapist to just suddenly hate the idea of touching the skin of clients?

How weird would it be for a massage therapist to just suddenly hate the idea of touching the skin of clients? That's the problem Rosemarie DeWitt's character Abby in Touchy Feely faces, but her new psychological burden isn't the only drama in her life. Her niece Jenny (Ellen Page) is also head over heels in love with Abby's boyfriend (the adorable Scoot McNairy, who made an impact last year in Argo.) Enter Allison Janney as the therapist who may be able to help.

While the premise is sort of strange, I'm dying to see this because it comes from writer/director Lynn Shelton, who made the touching and wonderful Your Sister's Sister, among her many credits. Plus, I love Janney in just about anything. Touchy Feely comes out Sept. 6, but you can watch the trailer after the jump.

In a World . . . Trailer: Lake Bell Wants to Be a Voice-Over Star

In a world where doing the voice-overs for movie trailers is a man's business, Lake Bell still wants a piece of the action.

In a world where doing the voice-overs for movie trailers is a man's business, Lake Bell still wants a piece of the action. In the aptly titled In a World . . ., the actress stars in, wrote, produced, and directed this indie about a vocal coach trying to follow in the footsteps of her voice-over-legend father. Other quirky characters in the industry pop up along the way, like those played by Demetri Martin, Rob Corddry, and Nick Offerman.

I don't know what I'm more impressed by: the fact that Bell wrote/directed/produced and appears in the movie or the awesome voices she does in this trailer. The movie charmed audiences at this year's Sundance Film Festival and will open in limited release on Aug. 9. Check out the trailer for yourself after the jump.

See Naomi Watts as Princess Di in the First Teaser For Diana

Want to see if Naomi Watts can pull off playing Princess Diana?

Want to see if Naomi Watts can pull off playing Princess Diana? The Oscar-nominated actress takes on the royal role in the upcoming biopic Diana, and the first teaser shows a hint of footage, but no dialogue yet. The movie is set to follow her from 1995 to her tragic death in 1997. It will focus on her relationship with Dr. Hasnat Khan (Naveen Andrews) after her divorce from Charles, her humanitarian works, and her campaign against landmines.

It's interesting to see Watts as Diana, not just because of their physical resemblance, but because I really think she's going to be able to pull off Diana's presence. Hopefully we'll hear Watts speak in the next trailer, plus a bit more about the story, but for now I'll settle for watching this on repeat. The movie doesn't yet have a US release date, but be sure to catch the teaser after the jump.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Trailer — Orlando Bloom Is Back, and There's a Dragon!

If you were underwhelmed by last year's The Hobbit, Peter Jackson is really kicking the action up a couple notches for the second installment in the series, The Desolation of Smaug.

If you were underwhelmed by last year's The Hobbit, Peter Jackson is really kicking the action up a couple notches for the second installment in the series, The Desolation of Smaug. Featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the voice of the dragon Smaug, we see some action when the terrifying creature shows up for Bilbo to defeat, but I'm actually more excited to see Orlando Bloom return as Legolas. It's just like Lord of the Rings old times! There are more fun faces to come into Middle Earth, too, like Lost's Evangeline Lilly and Luke Evans.

Even though I was a bit disappointed with how slow last year's The Hobbit was, I'm pretty psyched for this — probably due to my ongoing love for all the Lord of the Rings movies (and Legolas!). The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug comes out on Dec. 13, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

Magic Magic Trailer: Michael Cera Is a Creepy Psychopath

If you're attached to Michael Cera playing a lovable goofball on Arrested Development, you're in for a big shock from the trailer for psychological thriller Magic Magic.

If you're attached to Michael Cera playing a lovable goofball on Arrested Development, you're in for a big shock from the trailer for psychological thriller Magic Magic. The film stars Juno Temple as Alicia, a young American visiting her cousin Sarah (Emily Browning) abroad in Chile. When her cousin leaves, Alicia is left with Sarah's sadistic friends (Cera and Agustín Silva). At first, they just do moderately creepy stuff, like hunting for birds, but then they hypnotize her and order her to put her face in the fire. Not cool, Cera, not cool.

Magic Magic debuted at Sundance this year and played at Cannes, but it's going straight to DVD on Aug. 6, which isn't usually a good sign. I'm actually really curious about Cera's performance here, and the premise seems pretty scary to me, even if some of it is a bit over-the-top. Check out the trailer after the jump.

Blue Jasmine Trailer: Alec Baldwin Leaves Cate Blanchett Broke

Woody Allen has kept mum about the plot of his upcoming film, Blue Jasmine, which makes the release of the film's first trailer even more satisfying.

Woody Allen has kept mum about the plot of his upcoming film, Blue Jasmine, which makes the release of the film's first trailer even more satisfying. Cate Blanchett stars as a high-society woman who loses everything when her husband (Alec Baldwin) is identified as a crook and the government seizes all of their money. Left with no choice, she moves cross-country to San Francisco to live with her sister (Sally Hawkins) but has a little trouble adjusting to the new setting, including her sister's working-class friends, played by Louis C.K., Bobby Cannavale, and Andrew Dice Clay. She also might be going slightly crazy.

Besides this being an Allen film, I am very intrigued by this movie for several reasons, like Baldwin as a scheming scumbag. And I can't wait to see all of these comedians (including the resurrected Clay!) play supporting roles. The movie is set for a July 26 release, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

Runner, Runner Trailer: Evil Ben Affleck Hires Justin Timberlake

Not one but two of Hollywood's hottest actors headline Runner, Runner — and not only do these guy looks great in the thriller, but this movie also looks majorly entertaining.

Not one but two of Hollywood's hottest actors headline Runner, Runner — and not only do these guy looks great in the thriller, but this movie also looks majorly entertaining. Timberlake stars as college student Richie, who's trying to make tuition by winning big at online poker. When he loses, he goes after those who run the poker site that screwed him over, but when he gets there, he ends up with the business opportunity of a lifetime: go to work for Ben Affleck. Affleck is Ivan Block, the charismatic owner, and obviously, all the excess Ivan is promising means that Richie is headed for trouble (cue Ivan tossing a victim to crocodiles. Yes, literally).

With Timberlake looking like he's turning in a pretty good performance and Affleck taking an irresistibly, cartoonishly evil turn as Ivan, I can't wait to see this movie. Don't be afraid to watch it again just to watch Affleck cackling, "What are you gonna do?!" Runner, Runner opens Sept. 27, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.

Getaway Trailer: Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez Must Drive

Here's that Speed/Drive/Excess Baggage mashup you've been waiting for!

Here's that Speed/Drive/Excess Baggage mashup you've been waiting for! Ethan Hawke stars as Brent, a man whose wife has been kidnapped in the trailer for Getaway. Ordered to simply "drive" by her captors, his mission is foiled when a kid (Selena Gomez) attempts to carjack him in a parking garage, and he's forced to take her with him. Luckily for him, the creepy voice on the other end of the line tells him to keep her, that Brent will need her to save his wife. What does that mean?

Gomez and Hawke are such an odd couple, but that's what makes this trailer interesting to me. Sure, the plot is generic, but these roles are each something we haven't seen from the actors, or at least in the past few years, in Hawke's case. I'm looking forward to seeing how their chemistry fares on screen. The movie opens Aug. 30, and you can watch the trailer after the jump.
