Movie Trailer – Hanna
A thriller, but there seems to be a speculative fiction bent to it… or at least it looks like Eric Bana is finally in a decent movie.

Book Trailer – Wither
Wither – Book 1 of The Chemical Garden Trilogy, by Lauren DeStefano
By age sixteen, Rhine Ellery has four years left to live. She can thank modern science for this genetic time bomb. A botched effort to create a perfect race has left all males with a lifespan of 25 years, and females with a lifespan of 20 years. Geneticists are seeking a miracle antidote to restore the human race, desperate orphans crowd the population, crime and poverty have skyrocketed, and young girls are being kidnapped and sold as polygamous brides to bear more children.
When Rhine is kidnapped and sold as a bride, she vows to do all she can to escape. Her husband, Linden, is hopelessly in love with her, and Rhine can’t bring herself to hate him as much as she’d like to. He opens her to a magical world of wealth and illusion she never thought existed, and it almost makes it possible to ignore the clock ticking away her short life. But Rhine quickly learns that not everything in her new husband’s strange world is what it seems. Her father-in-law, an eccentric doctor bent on finding the antidote, is hoarding corpses in the basement. Her fellow sister wives are to be trusted one day and feared the next, and Rhine is desperate to communicate to her twin brother that she is safe and alive. Will Rhine be able to escape–before her time runs out?

Trailer – Game of Thrones
Yes, I’m posting multiple items on Game of Thrones. Get used to it.
HBO’s Game of Thrones premieres on April 17th, 2011.
In the late 70s/early 80s there was a Japanese anime series called Space Battleship Yamato. The Americanized version was called Star Blazers, and it’s original U.S. run on afternoon t.v. was from 1979-1984.
And yes, it was my favorite cartoon ever.
The live action version of Space Battleship Yamato was released in Japan on Dec. 1, 2010. I don’t know when it will become available (legally) in the US, but I’ll be one of the first in line to pick up a copy.
Here’s a description of the movie:
It is the year 2194. The Gamilons, an enemy of undetermined form, begin an invasion of Earth. The nations of Earth pool their forces and fight back, but their armies are defeated and most of humanity wiped out.
Five years later, in 2199, the Earth has been polluted by space-to-planet bombs, and those who remain alive have fled underground. Even the former top pilot, Susume Kodai, has left the military. One day as he is exploring aboveground, a mysterious object falls out of the sky. This is a communications capsule from the planet of Iscandar, 148 000 light years distant. Apparently, on Iscandar there is equipment that will eliminate the radiation. The Defense Force of Earth equips the Space Battleship Yamato with a previously unknown propulsion system, a “wave-motion engine” based on plans found in the capsule. Kodai rejoins the Force, and resolves to set out aboard the Yamato. With the fate of the Earth in their hands, the crew blasts off for distant Iscandar. They have one year until radiation drives humanity to extinction. Kodai’s great battle has begun. Carrying humanity’s last hope with it, the Yamato blasts off!
For those interested in the original cartoon, here’s the wikipedia link to info on the show: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Blazers
More teaser than trailer, but still, it’s Conan!

Book Trailer – Watch
Promotional spot for the second installment in Robert J. Sawyer’s “WWW” Trilogy. Published by Ace Science Fiction (U.S.) & Penguin (Canada).
SYNOPSIS
Vampirism is a newly discovered viral illness whose initial stages spread as quickly as the flu. May has just turned seventeen and has become infected. She is the only vampire in her family and her neighborhood and, as such, her life changes dramatically. In her daily surroundings she is now seen as a monster: kids throw stones at her and she is bullied at work. However, May tries to adapt by following the rules and norms set by the government on infected citizens who wish to fit back into society.
While it definitely looks like they had more than a dollar, it is still a small budgeted independent film that looks awesome to me!

Book Trailer – The Lost Gate
Text from the TorForge YouTube page for The Lost Gate:
Danny North knew from early childhood that his family was different, and that he was different from them. While his cousins were learning how to create the things that commoners called fairies, ghosts, golems, trolls, werewolves, and other such miracles that were the heritage of the North family, Danny worried that he would never show a talent, never form an outself.
He grew up in the rambling old house, filled with dozens of cousins, and aunts and uncles, all ruled by his father. Their home was isolated in the mountains of western Virginia, far from town, far from schools, far from other people.
There are many secrets in the House, and many rules that Danny must follow. There is a secret library with only a few dozen books, and none of them in English \\” but Danny and his cousins are expected to become fluent in the language of the books. While Danny’s cousins are free to create magic whenever they like, they must never do it where outsiders might see.
Unfortunately, there are some secrets kept from Danny as well. And that will lead to disaster for the North family.
