CREATIVE: Top Trailers For the Week, Dec. 3

The new trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens certainly took a lot of attention last week, but we shouldn’t dare forget about Pitch Perfect 2, which will make its way to theaters on May 15th. Anna Kendrick and Rebel Wilson return for even more singing fun, joined by Adam DeVine, Hailee Steinfeld and Brittany Snow. The movie, directed by Elizabeth Banks, should be a big hit, considering the original made  $113 million worldwide on a $17 million budget.

 

IGN debuted a new trailer for Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell earlier today, introducing the gun-toting criminals to an all-new menace – Satan, and his dominion of Hell. However, the team at Deep Silver is taking the content lightly, as usual, with plenty of shooting shenanigans and laughs. This trailer is definitely proof of that, paying homage to the classic musical – even if Daniel Dae Kim doesn’t exactly hit all the right notes as Johnny Gat. The game will debut for consoles and PC on January 20th.

 

The PlayStation Experience takes place in Las Vegas this weekend, and Sony has plenty of surprises planned. Among them is a new model of the PlayStation 4 that pays loving tribute to the original PlayStation, which debuted in Japan in late 1994. The video above shows what a lucky 13,200 people will be able to buy this holiday season, including a special edition console with PlayStation logos. Details of its availability will be unveiled on Saturday morning, during the Experience’s opening conference.

 

Finally, with the Despicable Me spin-off Minions set to arrive in theaters next summer, Universal Pictures opted to release a holiday greeting to fans featuring the jabbering heroes. It’s a little ridiculous, but certainly something that can get viewers of all ages into the holiday spirit. Minions hits theaters on July 10th, 2015.
