Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
I know some of these have been up for a few days, but I’ve been away (again) and I hadn’t seen any of them linked here at AICN, so I thought I’d just round ‘em all up so you guys have something to peek at and talk about this Monday morning. First up, “Valmont” gave us the heads-up on the LAST SAMURAI teaser that’s already been released in Japan. This one doesn’t come out in the U.S. until the first weekend in December, so it seems premature for them to do any advertising here, but at least we can look, right?
Hi Harry,
Valmont here. Seems Empire Movies's site has links to the Japanese teaser trailer for Tom Cruise's The Last Samurai. The trailer is in english with Japanese subtitles.
Thought you might want to check it out if you haven't seen it yet, although it doesn't show much - just Cruise doing a little swordfighting.

Last week, a messenger showed up at my door in the middle of the day from an Italian bakery here in LA, bearing a couple of fresh-baked cannolis and a videotape containing the trailer for THE ITALIAN JOB. I gave the cannolis to my girlfriend (since a fat fuck like me doesn’t really need extra-rich pastry delivered to the door) and put the trailer in. I thought it looked okay, and liked the chemistry between some of the cast. If you’ve ever been in LA’s Metro tunnels, you can’t help but imagine a chase scene of some sort down there, so I hope F. Gary Gray made the most of it. Check this out:
Found this over at joblo.
It looks terrible, i mean what next, VW doing a new herbie franchise to sell more cars?!!??
Anyone familiar with my history with the TOMB RAIDER franchise so far would probably expect me to dismiss this next trailer out of hand, but I’ll say this: Jan De Bont has more style in his little finger than Simon “I Can’t Wait To Fuck Up JURASSIC PARK 4” West has in his whole untalented body. There’s some nice imagery in this trailer, particularly involving the architectural wonder that is Angelina Jolie, but it still comes down to story in the end. Curious?
Hey guys,
Didn't see it on the site, so I thought I'd bring the "Tomb Raider: The Cradle of Life" trailer to your attention. By the looks of the action cliches (sarcastic protagonist, slow motion running from stray bullets, etc.) we may be in for another crapfest with the Tomb Raider namesake. My favorite part? When Jolie as Croft and her partner take a skydive and glide to safety like some neon-colored flying squirrels. You'll see what I mean. Dear GAWD, what were the filmmakers thinking?!
Sarcastically yours,
Traitor Zaarin
And after all these big Hollywood efforts, here’s a lovely little mint to cleanse the palette:

Thanks, everybody, for sending us all the notices, and if you were one of the people who pointed one of these trailers out, but not one of the ones I printed, I do appreciate you taking the time to mail the links, anyway.
"Moriarty" out.
