Trailer Trash Feature: 10th – 23rd September

(Bi-weekly feature written for Lost In The Multiplex)

It’s that time again and with a host of new trailers released over the past two weeks I’d be surprised if you can’t find something to enjoy from this week’s feature. With a first trailer for Steven Spielberg’s latest film, Lincoln, and a number of roles for Oscar winner Christopher Walken, we also have the first look at an adaptation of the fantasy romance novel Beautiful Creatures and a Sundance winner about getting Smashed and then sobering up. So let’s get started.

Christopher Walken, Al Pacino, and Alan Arkin Are ‘Stand Up Guys’ In New Trailer

(Written for Lost In The Multiplex)

Led by a trio of Oscar-winners – Chistopher Waken, Al Pacino, and Alan Arkin – this week we have the new trailer for Fisher Stevens’ Stand Up Guys.

With Stevens returning behind the camera for his first feature film since 2002’s Just A Kiss, the film follows con man Val (Pacino) who, having just served a 28 year sentence for refusing to give up one of his close criminal associates, reteams with his best friend Doc (Walken) and old pal Hirsch (Arkin) and make a hilariously valiant effort to compensate for the decades of crime, drugs and sex they’ve missed. But one of the friends is keeping a dangerous secret – he’s been asked to kill another of the group by a former mob boss, and his time to find an acceptable alternative is running out.
