And just when I thought it wasn’t possible for me to get more excited about Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs. The World comic book-in-a-feature-film movie, this trailer hit the ‘Net.

Entourage returns to HBO June 27 [Update]
The seventh season of Entourage is set to hit the airwaves this summer on June 27. It will air at 10:30PM on HBO, joining Hung (season 2), True Blood (season 3), and newcomer Treme on Sunday nights. The teaser trailer (embedded after the break) asks “Once you have it all…what’s next?” The poster answers, “Enjoy the ride.” Last time we saw the gang, Ari bought out Terrance’s agency, Vince, Drama, and Turtle were setting off for Rome to watch Vince start a new film, and E successfully proposed to Sloan. Looking forward to see where things go next.
Update: Look after the break for an extended trailer with season 7 footage included.

I love that the villains are furry animals.
Trailer: Winnebago Man
If you have not watched the original “Winnebago Man” video on YouTube, please watch it right now (warning: lots and lots of cursing are contained in the video).
It’s a simple story, really. But it’s one that had to be made. Jack Rebney is Winnebago Man. All he wanted to do was film a promotional video for RVs, but his short patience and dirty mouth got in the way. The outtakes from the video were compiled into one, and “Winnebago Man” became a hugely popular YouTube video. As of right now the video has over 1.8 million views. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer found the video so facinating that he decided to search for Rebney and capture on video the legend that is Winnebago Man. Here’s the synopsis:
Jack Rebney is the most famous man you’ve never heard of — a Winnebago salesman whose hilarious, foul-mouthed outbursts circulated on VHS tapes in the 90s before turning into a full-blown Internet phenomenon in 2005. Filmmaker Ben Steinbauer goes in search of Rebney — and finds him living alone on a mountain top, unaware of his fame. WINNEBAGO MAN is a laugh-out-loud look at viral culture and an unexpectedly poignant tale of one man’s response to unintended celebrity.
The documentary received rave reviews at last year’s SXSW. Kino International will release the film nationwide on July 9. And if you happen to live in Chicago, the movie will be previewed at The Gene Siskel Film Center on June 16 with Steinbauer on hand to answer questions.

(“Illegal”) trailer: Machete
What started out as a mock-trailer inserted at the beginning of Robert Rodriguez & Quentin Tarantin’s 2007 double-feature Grindhouse/Death Proof is being spun into its own feature-length film. Although Machete, directed by Robert Rodriguez and Ethan Maniquis, is not due out in theatres until September 3, Rodriguez cut his own non-theatrical trailer for the movie. According to Rodriguez, who is publically against Arizona’s new immigration law (which makes failure to carry immigration documents a crime), the trailer has a “a special Cinco de Mayo message to Arizona.”
Machete stars Danny Trejo as a Machete Cortez, a knife-wielding renegade seeking revenge against lawmakers. Fun fact, the character of Machete Cortez was first introduced to us in Rodriguez’s Spy Kids movie; he played the protagonists’ uncle. Now take a look at the all-star cast: Danny Trejo, Cheech Marin*, Lindsay Lohan, Robert De Niro, Jessica Alba, Jeff Fahey*, Don Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez*, Steven Seagal, and Rose McGowan. (Actors with stars next to their name all appeared on ABC’s Lost. Thought that was interesting.) Watch the “illegal” trailer above, and look after the break for the film poster.

Trailer: Jonah Hex
Jonah Hex is an upcoming horror Western film based on the DC Comics characher. It stars Josh Brolin as Hex, Megan Fox as Leila (a prostitute!), John Malkovich as baddie Quentin Turnbull, Michael Shannon as Doctor Cross Williams, and Michael Fassbender as Burke. Directed by Jimmy Hayward and written by Akiva Goldsman and Andrew Lazar. Synopsis:
Having cheated death, gunslinger and bounty hunter Jonah Hex (Josh Brolin) has one foot in the natural world and one in the supernatural realm. Jonah’s unusual nature gives him the ability to track down anyone, or anything, so the Army makes him an irresistible offer: They’ll erase the warrants on his head if Jonah will find Quentin Turnbull (John Malkovich). But Turnbull, who is preparing to unleash hell on earth, is Jonah’s oldest enemy and will stop at nothing to kill him once and for all.
Jonah Hex hits theatres June 18, 2010.
Kanye West Foundation is back for another round
The Kanye West Foundation, created by Kanye’s late mother Donda West, is all about keeping kids in school. As an incentive to keep kids in school, they are given this ultimatum: if they improve their grades, attendance, and behavior they are offered free tickets to see Kanye West perform at the Chicago Theatre at the end of the school year. Last year more than 2,500 students improved their grades and attendance and were able to see Kanye perform live in a televised concert (broadcasted on FuseTV) in their honor. Currently the Foundation focuses on public high schools in Chicago, Kanye’s hometown.
This trailer promotes the second annual performance by Kanye. Ever since his “imma let you finish but” incident with Taylor Swift, Kanye has ducked out of the limelight and into the studio. He’s currently working on his next album rumored to be called Good Ass Job. With the goal of diminishing student dropouts in the Chicago area, his foundation spreads a good message that hopefully resonates with the rest of the nation. Thing is, he might just have to go on a nationwide Foundation tour to give more kids the incentive to stay in school and improve themselves. Or you can just be really smart and set goals for yourself, then watch the performance when it airs on FuseTV this June.

Trailer: Ghost Recon: Future Soldier
Believe it or not, this is a trailer for a video game, not a movie. It’s a cinematic look into the fifth installment of the Ghost Recon series called Ghost Recon: Future Soldier. Invisibility, check. Mini combat drones, check. Shoulder-mounted rocket launchers, check. I’m hooked. It releases later this year on all major platforms.
