The iTunes Movie Trailer home page has been brimming with “coming soon”-ers recently.  After some heavy sifting through the sci-fi thrillers and the sappy rom-coms, we couldn’t be more excited by the trailers of these five films that offer a little bit of everything, from feel-good drama to the eternal crowd pleaser that needs but two words to sum up its greatness.  Animated.  Elves.  Check out the following trailers and decide for which of these flicks you’ll be standing in line on opening night!

 

Our new favorite funny-man, Paul Rudd, complete with his new long, luscious locks, stars in “Our Idiot Brother”, a comedy where Ned (Rudd) and his special philosophies teach his family a thing or two about life.  In theaters Aug. 26.

 

“Seven Days in Utopia” is based off of David L. Cook’s best-selling novel Golf’s Sacred Journey: Seven Days at the Links of Utopia. In the film, talented golfer Luke Chisolm faces an embarrassing, public squabble with his father and blows an important shot at making the professional tour.  After a slight mishap with a jaywalking cow and an ill-placed fence, Luke is stranded in the tiny town of Utopia, Texas.  Here, he will learn how to deal with his past and shape his future, in this big-screen adapted drama with, of course, a little love and romance thrown into the mix.  In theaters Sept. 2.

 

A star-studded cast makes up the film “Main Street” with Colin Firth, Orlando Bloom, Ellen Burstyn and more.  A small city in North Carolina is shaken up when a businessman (Firth) devises a plan to revitalize their dying town, but he must first earn the trust of the residents.  Controversy thrives and romance unfolds as they discover that change and growth in a tight-knit community isn’t always unwelcome.  In theaters Sept. 9.

 

Ryan Gosling, George Clooney and Philip Seymour Hoffman star in “The Ides of March”, a film about dirty politics and one man’s struggle to keep his integrity with his job or tell people the truth about the man vying for their presidential vote.  Produced by Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by George Clooney, “The Ides of March” just might be yet another Oscar favorite for this talented cast.  In theaters Oct. 7.

 

Sometimes less is more with a movie trailer, and “Arthur Christmas” would certainly agree.  This family-friendly animated comedy about Santa’s son, Arthur, will have you hearing sleigh bells and wishing for that whole “Christmas in July” fantasy to come to fruition.  In theaters Nov. 23.
