Movie Trailer Monday - New "Defiance" and "Underworld: Rise of the Lycans" Trailers

Since we skipped Movie Trailer Mondays last week, here's a double feature for you guys- one serious one and one good ol' popcorn flick. The first clip we're going to feature is the new trailer to "Defiance" a film we previously posted the first trailer to. The film stars Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber and tells the the tale of Russian Jewish refugees during WWII that band together into a brigade which hides in the forest and protects their own, while also ambushing Nazi soldiers. The brigade start with three rebellious brothers and eventually grows to a group 1200 strong- A group that ultimately survives until war’s end. Defiance is directed by Ed Zwick of "Last Samurai" and "Blood Diamond" fame, and looks to be pretty fantastic. Daniel "James Bond 007" Craig seems to deliver an amazing performance as always:




Now that we've gotten our street cred with the definitely Oscar worthy film above, here's a little popcorn treat - the latest in the "Underworld" franchise, entitled "Rise of the Lycans." The film is a prequel to the first two films and looks to follow the same dark and stylized action formula. While Kate Beckinsale is no longer in the picture, equally gorgeous British brunette actress Rhona Mitra seems to step in nicely as a new lead female character. Kick back with a bag of pop secret and enjoy:
