The Cell 2 Trailer Is Basically Your Trailer

I think the reason they waited so long between The Cell and a sequel is because they wanted to make sure they got everything just right. The Cell 2 trailer, you guys.

They should just call this movie Nailed It because of how hard they nailed it. The guy who invented green screen technology is weeping tears because never in a million years did he think he would live long enough to see his humble invention be used to create actual art. This movie should be hung in a museum, and underneath it the card will read

The Cell 2 trailer
2009
Mixed media: perfection and inspiration on film

Seriously, though, when the serial killer said, "I'm going to make you beg for death," I was like "Going to?" (Via io9.)

SPOILER ALERT:

You guys I already figured out who the killer is. It's that talking snake from Bike King and the Ten Commandments!!

I think I already saw this when it was a graphic adventure computer game from 1997.

When the announcer said 'Step inside,' I heard 'Walk this way, you and me babe - HEY HEY!'
Waaayyyyy too much bad karaoke in my life, y'all.

Waiting 10 years to release a sequel is always a good idea. Just ask anyone involved with the Basic Instinct franchise.

Before Sunset (1995)

Alright, as much as The Cell sucked, the art direction was pretty incredible. The Cell 2 however looks like an episode of Crime Scene: Scene Of The Crime.

Still looks better than the trailer for S. Darko.

What I don't get is who would buy this? I can't deny the renting prospect because one time my friend Renee rented American Psycho 2. Mila Kunis as a female Patrick Bateman, killing dates with used condoms? I can't even put that up for The Worst because I didn't even finish watching it. I think I just got up and made a sandwich.

The movie was so bad that half the trailer is just hashed up scenes from the original. But they do show snippets of the condom of death.

I'm just going to assume... then hope and pray that Tarsem has nothing to do with this.

Am I the only person confused by the fact that the main protagonist looks like she's better suited to star in a late night Cinemax fare? Then again, I guess strippers can also moonlight as psychic investigators. Stranger things have happened.
