Two More Trailers: Giamatti's 'Cold Souls' and Fleischer's 'Zombieland'

Zombies and the deep-freezing of souls... Sounds about right

BY: Brad Brevet | June 18th 2009 at 6:52 PM

Apple has debuted two more trailers this afternoon starting with Cold Souls, a film starring Paul Giamatti as Paul Giamatti in a situation where he is finding himself struggling with his interpretation of Uncle Vanya and ultimately decides to take part in an "operation" of sorts that removes your soul from your body and puts it into deep-freeze. I saw the film as part of the Seattle International Film Festival and I can't say it is an instant classic, but it is definitely worth the watch, but then again most anything Giamatti is in falls into that category.

The second trailer is for Zombieland, a film that looks like it is going to have a hard time not being compared to Shaun of the Dead, and if this trailer is any indication it won't be living up to that classic comedy horror. Zombieland stars Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Emma Stone and Abigail Breslin in a world overrun by zombies.

Cold Souls
August 7, 2009
Is your soul weighing you down? Paul Giamatti has found a solution! In the surreal comedy Cold Souls, Paul Giamatti plays an actor named… Paul Giamatti. Stumbling upon an article in The New Yorker about a high-tech company that extracts, deep-freezes and stores people's souls, Paul very well might have found the key to happiness for which he's been searching. But, complications arise when he is the unfortunate victim of "soul-trafficking." Giamatti's journey takes him all the way to Russia in hopes of retrieving his stolen soul from an ambitious but talentless soap-opera actress. Balancing a tightrope between deadpan humor & pathos, and reality & fantasy, Cold Souls is a true soul searching comedy. Also starring David Strathairn, Dana Korzun and Emily Watson.

Zombieland
October 9, 2009
Columbus (Jesse Eisenberg) has made a habit of running from what scares him. Tallahassee (Woody Harrelson) doesn't have fears. If he did, he'd kick their ever-living ass. In a world overrun by zombies, these two are perfectly evolved survivors. But now, they're about to stare down the most terrifying prospect of all: each other.

Is it bad for Zombieland to be compared to Shaun of the Dead?

I haven't watched Shaun of the Dead(ducks for cover) so I enjoyed the Zombieland trailer very much as I'm not spoiled and don't have anything to compare it to(unless the Evil Dead flicks count). Plus, Woody Harrelson AND Emma Stone in one movie? Count me in.

Nothing can ever match up to the hilarity of Shaun of the Dead… but Zombieland looks like it will be kick-ass all the same.
