Fan Made Thundercats Trailer

If you havent seen this yet, then you need to check it out.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fb50GMmY5nk
It's a fan made trailer for a Thundercats Movie.
The film uses footage of Brad Pitt, Vin Diesel, Gigi Edgley and Hugh Jackman.
Okay, it's no " Batman: Dead End" but I still think it's very good.
And I might actually like Vin Diesel as Panthro.

X-Men Origins: Wolverine

X-Men Origins: Wolverine seems to be getting the big PR push now.
The trailer is online now ( you can see it here) and next years release (May 1st, 2009) seems to be going full steam.
At least Fox hopes so.
X-Men Origins: Magneto has been put on hold until they see how well the Wolverine movie does.
I like the main cast.....
Hugh Jackman as Logan / Wolverine (of course), Liev Schreiber as Victor Creed / Sabretooth ( Okay, I thought Tyler Mane was an impressive visual Sabretooth, but could he pull off a whole movie?), Danny Huston as William Stryker (Not Brian Cox from the original movie. I guess the CGI would have been too time consuming), Lynn Collins as Kayla Silver Fox ( I would have preferred Michelle Monaghan but that didn't work out), Ryan Reynolds as Wade Wilson / Deadpool (I'm the one person on the Internet that likes Ryan Reynolds), Taylor Kitsch as Remy LeBeau / Gambit ( Don't know a lot about Taylor but his Gambit looks good in the trailer), Kevin Durand as Frederick J. Dukes / The Blob (is that CGI or makeup? Either way it looks good).
So without actually seeing the movie, I'll have to just go with how it looks visually.
And visually it looks really good.
