I try to keep track of publicity (mostly, posters and trailers) for upcoming movies that I am interested in, as closely as possible, and recently, there's been some remarkable stuff released concerning two such movies —

Aliens vs Predator: Requiem

AVP-R, directed by The Brothers Strause (Colin & Greg), is a sequel to 2004's AVP: Alien vs Predator.  In this one, the title creatures battle it out in a town on Earth, and apparently we will even see the Yautja homeworld in this movie.  The release date (Christmas) is approaching soon, and I recently saw these items from the movie —

• The Red-Band Trailer, which was released a few weeks ago is absolutely amazing, seems very Aliens in feel!  It also managed to pack in a good amount of gore and violence in two and a half minutes.
• A few days back a new "Population" trailer was also released, which has a nice idea running through it.
• JoBlo/Arrow also obtained an exclusive look at the poster for the film (seen above, go to the linked article for large size image), which is really very impressive!

Southland Tales

Southland Tales is writer-director Richard Kelly's follow-up to the excellent Donnie Darko, and is an apocalyptic story set during the Fourth of July Celebrations in 2008.  Some time back, we saw the final poster for the movie being released (you can see the large version accompanying the Wikipedia article for the movie), but yesterday, the official theatrical trailer for the movie was released!  Oh man, what a trailer!  It's the first footage from the film that I am seeing and I can't wait to see the full movie now (November is the release).  Of course, the trailer doesn't make a lot of sense, but given the complex and weird story of the movie (the Wikipedia article has a short write-up on that, very impressive), I guess it's the best way to promote it (the Fight Club trailer comes to mind, as another example of how to create an interesting montage of clips from a complex movie in under three minutes).

Oh, and speaking of movies I watched Chak De! India last night at Sangeet Theatre, and really enjoyed it.  So I wrote a review for it.  It's been a long time since I added a review here, so have a look.
