Super Bowl 2013 Movie Trailer Preview

We’ve been talking about it practically non-stop for the last week, but the big day is finally here, and while the San Francisco 49ers and the Baltimore Ravens gear up for the Super Bowl we here at Cinema Blend headquarters are getting ready to bring you all of the big TV spots set to air during the game’s commercials. Some trailers we’ve already seen, some have just teased us and others remain a mystery – but what are the big movies that we’re going to see new footage from today?

To get you ready for the football championship I’ve collected all of the info we have on this year’s crop of Super Bowl movies and collected them for you below. Happy watching, and be sure to check back in with the site throughout the day as we post the newest trailers

Snitch

First up is Snitch, the new Ric Roman Waugh-directed thriller featuring Dwayne Johnson as a father who agrees to go undercover and infiltrate the drug world to try and alleviate his busted son’s sentencing. Watch the trailer below:

World War Z

Zombies are invading this year’s Super Bowl, but fortunately it’s in the most non-violent way possible. Marc Foster’s long-gestating adaptation of Max Brook’s book heading to theaters on June 21st and thanks to the NFL the movie is getting an early ad push.

The Lone Ranger

So we have cops and criminals, zombies...next step is clearly cowboys and Indians, right? Gore Verbinski’s The Long Ranger is the representative for the western genre during the Super Bowl this year, but Disney has already fully unloaded its six shooter by posting the spot online last week. That said, it’s a pretty cool looking trailer.

Thanks to the success of The Avengers last year, Iron Man 3 could very well be called the most anticipated movie of the summer and the most anticipated trailer running during the 2013 Super Bowl – but Marvel Studios is making us wait for it. In order to make sure that they have our full attention during the big game they have only released an extremely brief trailer that basically on serves to make us even hungrier for the main course. Classically there isn’t a great crossover between comic book fans and sports fans, but today they will be unified.

Oz The Great And Powerful

Next month Sam Raimi will be taking audiences back to the wonderful world of Oz, and while we’ve seen a good number of trailers, posters, and images already the new film has something special planned for the big game. Like Iron Man 3 we have only seen a brief offering of what will be aired during today’s Super Bowl. We’ll have the full thing up on the site later, but for now you can watch the teaser below.

Star Trek Into Darkness

J.J. Abrams’ latest entry in the Star Trek franchise is an interesting Super Bowl spot because it’s going to be a bit more interactive than all of the others. Last week Paramount Pictures launched the Star Trek Into Darkness app, which has been promised to give access to exclusive content if activated when the new TV trailer is on in the same room.

Sadly there isn’t any kind of teaser available for the Super Bowl spot, but we did get this inside look featurette last week:

Fast & Furious 6

And finally we come to Fast & Furious 6, the big mystery entry in this year’s field. Unlike every other movie that has a Super Bowl spot running this year, the latest sequel to the long running Vin Diesel/Paul Walker racing franchise has not yet released an official trailer of any kind, meaning that the big game spot will actually be the first ever footage. For that reason we don’t have a teaser to bring you, but for now you can read what the movie is actually about by scanning the film’s recently released plot synopsis.
