Tamara Drewe Trailer #2
The second trailer for Tamara Drewe has been dropped via Yahoo!
Filled with lust and humour and starring Gemma Arterton (Prince of Persia, Disappearance of Alice Creed) as the eponymous Tamara, the film is based on Posy Simmonds’ well-loved graphic novel, which in turn was inspired by Thomas Hardy’s Far From the Madding Crowd.
Tamara Drewe has transformed herself. Plastic surgery, a different wardrobe, a smouldering look, have given her confidence and a new and thrilling power to attract, which she uses recklessly. Often just for the fun of it. People are drawn to Tamara Drewe, male and female.
Tamara Drewe Trailer and Poster
Here’s the new trailer and poster for Gemma Arterton‘s latest movie, Tamara Drewe.

Captain America: The First Avenger Teaser Trailer
The teaser trailer for Captain America: The First Avenger debuted on Comic Con 2010.
The teaser opened with a camera panning across the scratched yet shiny surface of Cap’s shield. Playing against the shield was footage from WWII, while FDR spoke on the soundtrack, talking about Pearl Harbor and the challenge ahead. In many ways the shield itself would have been a great teaser, but then it cut to a shot of the silhouette of Captain America, standing in what looked like a warehouse. And then another flash, this time of Cap in an action pose, flinging the shield right at the screen.
Captain America: The First Avenger will focus on the early days of the Marvel Universe when Steve Rogers volunteers to participate in an experimental program that turns him into the Super Soldier known as Captain America.
Stanley Tucci Joins Captain America
Captain America: The First Avenger update again! Oscar-nominated actor Stanley Tucci has signed on to star as Dr. Abraham Erskine in the upcoming Marvel Studios project.

So, we know that Captain America is scheduled to hit theaters on July 22, 2011, so let’s all remind the synopsis part once again:
“Born during the Great Depression, Steve Rogers grew up a frail youth in a poor family. Horrified by the newsreel footage of the Nazis in Europe, Rogers was inspired to enlist in the army.
However, because of his frailty and sickness, he was rejected. Overhearing the boy’s earnest plea, General Chester Phillips offered Rogers the opportunity to take part in a special experiment…Operation: Rebirth.

Tommy Lee Jones in Captain America
“I have yet to meet Tommy Lee Jones…. Although I think I have a scene with him, which I’m really looking forward to doing” – that’s exactly what actress Hayley Atwell (or, Peggy Carter in Captain America) said, and that’s why we’re here to spread the rumor!
Tommy Lee Jones has signed on to star in Marvel Studio’s upcoming Captain America: The First Avenger?! Now that’s what we call good news!
So, according to that rumor, Tommy Lee Jones will play General Chester Phillips, the guy in charge of the super soldier program which turned the sickly Steve Rogers, played by Fantastic Four star Chris Evans into Captain America.
