As it's that time of year we thought we'd spread some festive cheer and look forward to the New Year and the new releases.
While we'll pick up with blog posts in the New Year let's look at some of the fantastic trailers already circulating*

I'm really looking forward to Batman V Superman, not only will there be two superheroes, but the whole tone of this trailer looks to be taking the best of the genre together into what promises to be a truly exhilarating film.
Independence day 2, Ok so the absence of Will Smith here is notable, at least for me, but Goldblum may be able to make up the shortfall. I'm particularly liking the references to the first film and I think that's where the joy lies, but if viewed as a standalone film I suspect this won't be up to much.
When you think about it, Roald Dahl had some pretty dark stories in the canon, but the BFG here looks like a truly wonderful adaptation of a fantastic adventure (though admittedly it's been a while since I read it).
Premiering with the Star Wars movie, the Star Trek Beyond trailer is clearly using Star Wars publicity for its own gain, and who can blame them. The music holds the pace of the trailer throughout giving way to a spectacular montage that is ..."just typical", of trailers within this genre and indeed, of mainstream movies with an action element but tropes notwithstanding this is one I hope I'm going to enjoy.
and finally, a spin off of the Harry Potter narrative, Fantastic Beasts once again immerses us in a world of magic and muggles, and this is the basic premise of the trailer here, we are literally invited to return to the fictional universe echoing the narrative introduction of the likes of Don Lafontaine, setting up the narrative premise that will form the backbone of the marketing campaign.
Well those are Ed's 2016 picks and we hope you'll stick with Watching The Trailer through to 2016. In the New Year we've got lots lined up, with conferences in Atlanta, GA lined up, and of course some more results from our survey - we also stride forward with other elements of our Project - but more on that when it happens.
We'd like to extend our thanks to our bloggers and our visitors, and give you all the best wishes for the holidays and 2016.
From all of us here at the Watching the Trailer Team, have a great holiday wherever you are!
Keith, Fred, Jennifer, and Ed
