AfterElton Theater: "Robin Hood" "Grown Ups" "A.D." "The Secret of Kells" and More Prepare to Brighten Your Screen

So much coming to the multiplex

We’ve been keeping you updated on movie trailers in our Afternoon Meme feature for a few weeks now, but with the Super Bowl this weekend the number of trailers out has skyrocketed. While not all these films can afford 30-seconds during the game itself, the pregame is probably 14 hours long, so there’s plenty of less expensive space available.

So go pop some popcorn, open some Sour Patch Kids, a bucket of Diet Coke, and sit yourself down for AfterElton.com Theater.

In the animated genre, we have A.D. which frankly creeps me out. It appears to be a zombie movie, but animated so it can be creepier. There’s no release date on this one beyond 2010, and there’s not even any casting information in IMDB.com.

The Secret of the Kells has a beautiful, simple trailer. Brendan, our hero works with monks writing books. He also reminds me of Ron Stoppable from Disney’s Kim Possible series. It’s scheduled for release March 19^th.

But when you look at some of the secondary trailers for The Secret of Kells, the story gets a lot darker, and the animation changes. This piece reminds me a great deal of Samurai Jack, and that’s a good thing.
