The First Full Trailer For Marvel's 'Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.' Is Here!


As promised during tonight's season finale for Once Upon A Time, ABC debuted the first look trailer for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which quickly made its way online as well.

Official synopsis:
"Clark Gregg reprises his role of Agent Phil Coulson from Marvel’s feature films as he assembles a small, highly select group of Agents from the worldwide law-enforcement organization known as S.H.I.E.L.D. Together they investigate the new, the strange, and the unknown across the globe, protecting the ordinary from the extraordinary.
Coulson’s team consists of Agent Grant Ward (Brett Dalton), highly trained in combat and espionage, Agent Melinda May (Ming-Na Wen) expert pilot and martial artist, Agent Leo Fitz (Iain De Caestecker); brilliant engineer and Agent Jemma Simmons (Elizabeth Henstridge) genius bio-chemist. Joining them on their journey into mystery is new recruit and computer hacker Skye (Chloe Bennet)."

'Doctor Who' Season Finale Preview & Prequel Tease 'The Name of the Doctor''


Have we already burned through 12 of the 13 episodes of Doctor Who's seventh season? Is there only one new adventure left before the 50th Anniversary Special airs in November? Yes and yes.

Hot on the heels of last night's Neil Gaiman-penned Nightmare in Silver which saw the return of the updated Cybermen, the highly anticipated series finale is on deck for next Saturday. Let's just say with a title like The Name of the Doctor, expectations are set mighty high.

In addition to She Said, He Said, the three and a half minute prequel short to the season closer, the episode's actual trailer has been released which will see the return of River Song, Strax, Jenny, Madame Vastra and Richard E. Grant as the Great Intelligence.

Will we actually learn the name of the Doctor as it's teased in a not so subtle manner?  My money is on a big fat 'no' on that as far as us the audience is concerned. But I bet someone in the episode will find out, which will have major repercussions to play out in the 50th Anniversary Special. So if there is one thing we can proably look forward to on Saturday is a fifty years in the making Whovian cliffhanger to be continued in November where we can look forward to the much heralded return of David Tennant as the Tenth Doctor and Billie Piper as Rose Tyler.



Get your Sonic Screwdrivers set for The Name of the Doctor, which will air on BBC America next Saturday at 9PM.

TRAILER: 'Gravity'

The long awaited first trailer to Gravity from director Alfonso Cuarón (Children of Men, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban) has finally been released, and it's a nail biter. The sci-fi thriller starring George Clooney and Sandra Bullock, follows two astronauts trapped in space after an accident leaves them little hope for survival over 300 miles above the Earth.



Synopsis:
"Sandra Bullock plays Dr. Ryan Stone, a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalsky (George Clooney) in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalsky completely alone–tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space."
Gravity is set for an October 19th release in 2D, 3D and 3D IMAX
