  • The trailers that appeared for Inside Llewyn Davis and Gravity have raised expectations significantly.  For the former, a December 6 release date looks to be making a good strategy for an awards push.  Paul Greengrass’ Captain Phillips trailer had all the tension and suspense you’d expect from a Greengrass film showing a prominent Tom Hanks.  I’d keep a close eye on that film.

    Everything is all still speculative but summer’s just beginning.  More release dates, images, and trailers will be announced in the coming weeks/months.
