New Movie Trailers: The 'Vacation' Car Commercial And More [VIDEOS]

This week in trailers was pretty much owned by James Bond and SPECTRE–although we also got intrigued by Mississippi Grind and Zac Efron dropping the bass in We Are Your Friends.
There were still plenty of other sneak peeks that deserve some attention–including a trailer that isn’t really a trailer, but sure deserves a lot more attention than the film that it’s, um, trailering…

Vacation (Tartan Prancer Car Commercial)

There really was yet another trailer for the reboot/revamp/remake of National Lampoon’s Vacation released this week. It wasn’t that impressive. Well, except for how Christina Applegate can still star in a big summer movie in 2015. Gotta respect that (and that link will remind you why so many guys still have a big crush on her).
Anyway, this fake car commercial for the Tartan Prancer from Albanian Motors might very well be a lot better than the movie. As with the first Vacation, it seems a crappy new family car is part of the trip. This fun fake ad does a lot with the hackery of the screenwriters. Also, watch until the end for the corporate tie-in…

The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part 2

Hey, there’s another Hunger Games movie coming out–and this one has the artistic clout of being Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s last movie. It looks like we’ll get less kids-killing-kids action, though, and more of an emphasis on Jennifer Lawrence leading the revolution against the evil totalitarian government. That’s okay…

The Maze Runners: Scorch Trials

The Maze Runners films are mostly about boys, so we like it better than the Hunger Games series. Also, it’s more excited about being the kind of dopey movie where young men have to take on an organization known as WCKD. This is also the movie where WCKD is revealed to be more like the Umbrella Corporation from the Resident Evil series, and we get the book series’ variation on zombies….

Before We Go

And here’s what Chris Evans has been doing when not saving the world as Captain America. Before We Go is his directorial debut, and he also stars as a New York musician who spends a long night with a stranger. Did we mention that Chris Evans directed this? Yeah, that’s why the stranger is played by Alice Eve. Good directorial vision there….
