This Week in Trailers: 'Boondock Saints,' 'Defendor,' Chow Yun-Fat as Confucius

Sunday, September 6, 2009 at 8:24AM

At first glance, it wasn't a big week for movie trailers. Some of that has to do with not having an Avatar or an Inception to talk about. But another part of it is that we shouldn't judge the recent crop of trailers with one quick glance.

Sure, the new Red Band trailer for the Boondock Saints sequel will definitely move the needle for a lot of folks, but there's the strange and almost desperate first look at Woody Harrelson's Defendor, a sweeping historical epic called Agora with Rachel Weisz, and Chow Yun-Fat in Confucius.

Now, on that last one, I really didn't have a whole lot of interest in even checking it out, but it is simply fantastic. So that's where I'd start with this week's collection if I were you.

Seriously, watch the trailer for Confucius
