There’s this thing called the Super Bowl going on this weekend and, as a movie fan I have absolutely no interest in whether Cardinals can defeat Steelers. I have no idea what a Steeler is, but really he should have no trouble defeating a delicate bird. What kind of a mascot is that anyway? When grandma looks out at her bird feeder, does the red flapping thing she sees there strike terror into her? Probably not. Whatever happened to the good, old fashioned, tiger?
Again, doesn’t matter. I’m a movie dork and I’ll only be watching for the commercials. More specifically, the movie related commercials. Super Bowl XLIII will be loaded with them and below we’ve got your quick guide to everything you should be keeping an eye out for, whenever the network breaks away from the football field to show something interesting. You’ll find this exciting bunch of movie trailers, wedged in between beer commercials. We'll update this page with direct links or embedded videos for each trailer, as they become available online. Check back regularly!

| PARAMOUNT PICTURESTransformers: Revenge of the Fallen - This is the biggie. If there’s one Super Bowl spot you absolutely do not want to miss, then this is it. It's the first official footage anyone has seen from one of the most anticipated sequels of all time. According to director Michael Bay, this spot should air during the Super Bowl, some time early on in the 3rd quarter. For those those who don't want to wait, watch it embedded below: function getVideo() { var so = new SWFObject("http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/ci001.swf", "mplayer", "518", "457", "8", "#000000"); so.addParam("wmode","transparent"); so.addParam("swliveconnect", "true"); so.addParam("allowfullscreen", "true"); so.addVariable("pid", "ci001"); so.addVariable("siteId", "39"); so.addVariable("videoId", "1409"); so.addVariable("file", "http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/39/3/1409/"); so.addVariable("pageUrl", document.location); so.write("flashcontent_39_ci001_single_1409");}getVideo();G.I. Joe - This is the first footage anyone has seen from G.I. Joe so far. The movie’s first trailer, Paramount’s first chance to convince us that those leftover X-Men uniforms aren’t indicative of the effort and creativity being put into this movie. Plus football fans tend to get all patriotic during kickoff, so mixing in a movie about soldiers (even fantastical ones) ought to play pretty well in front of the pigskin crowd. It'll play during the Super Bowl, but Paramount has released their G.I. Joe trailer online early. Here it is: function getVideo() { var so = new SWFObject("http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/ci001.swf", "mplayer", "518", "457", "8", "#000000"); so.addParam("wmode","transparent"); so.addParam("swliveconnect", "true"); so.addParam("allowfullscreen", "true"); so.addVariable("pid", "ci001"); so.addVariable("siteId", "39"); so.addVariable("videoId", "1383"); so.addVariable("file", "http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/39/3/1383/"); so.addVariable("pageUrl", document.location); so.write("flashcontent_39_ci001_single_1383");}getVideo();Star Trek - Parmount's Trek Super Bowl trailer is a mix of old and new footage. No surprises here, but still well worth watching. Wait to see it during the big game, or watch it below right now: function getVideo() { var so = new SWFObject("http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/ci001.swf", "mplayer", "518", "457", "8", "#000000"); so.addParam("wmode","transparent"); so.addParam("swliveconnect", "true"); so.addParam("allowfullscreen", "true"); so.addVariable("pid", "ci001"); so.addVariable("siteId", "39"); so.addVariable("videoId", "1391"); so.addVariable("file", "http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/39/3/1391/"); so.addVariable("pageUrl", document.location); so.write("flashcontent_39_ci001_single_1391");}getVideo(); |

| DREAMWORKS ANIMATIONMonsters vs. Aliens - There’s a catch with the trailer for Monsters vs. Aliens. Like a lot of the stuff being pushed during and around the Super Bowl this year, it’ll be in 3D. Have your glasses handy. If you don’t already have some, check for displays in places like your local grocery store, gas station, and even some electronics stores. Here in Dallas area for instance, I’ve spotted them at Fry’s. If you find the right display, they should be free of charge and free to take as many as you want. Watch the trailer below, make sure you have your 3D glasses handy.3D VERSION:2D VERSION: |

| UNIVERSAL PICTURESLand of the Lost - The only thing better than watching Will Ferrell run from Sleestacks might be watching Will Ferrell play football with Sleestacks. While you may not see Ferrell fending off Sleestack double coverage, you will see something pretty funny in the new trailer for Land of the Lost. Watch it below, or wait around in front of your television until kickoff. function getVideo() { var so = new SWFObject("http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/ci001.swf", "mplayer", "518", "457", "8", "#000000"); so.addParam("wmode","transparent"); so.addParam("swliveconnect", "true"); so.addParam("allowfullscreen", "true"); so.addVariable("pid", "ci001"); so.addVariable("siteId", "39"); so.addVariable("videoId", "1385"); so.addVariable("file", "http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/39/3/1385/"); so.addVariable("pageUrl", document.location); so.write("flashcontent_39_ci001_single_1385");}getVideo();Fast & Furious - It was only a couple of weeks ago that Universal debuted a new trailer for Fast & Furious, so it's no surprise that the movie's Super Bowl trailer isn't exactly packed with new footage. Still, there's plenty here for street racing fans to sink their teeth into. Watch it below, or wait around to spot it during the Super Bowl. function getVideo() { var so = new SWFObject("http://cdn.springboard.gorillanation.com/storage/xplayer/ci001.swf", "mplayer", "518", "457", "8", "#000000"); so.addParam("wmode","transparent"); so.addParam("swliveconnect", "true"); so.addParam("allowfullscreen", "true"); so.addVariable("pid", "ci001"); so.addVariable("siteId", "39"); so.addVariable("videoId", "1407"); so.addVariable("file", "http://cms.springboard.gorillanation.com/xml_feeds_advanced/index/39/3/1407/"); so.addVariable("pageUrl", document.location); so.write("flashcontent_39_ci001_single_1407");}getVideo(); |
