Here's a trailer for "Dear Zachary: A Letter to a Son About His Father," Kurt Kuenne's documentary that begins as a memorial to his murdered best friend and goes to even more distressing places from there. The film, which has had a very successful festival fun since its premiere at Slamdance, opens in New York on Halloween and L.A. the week after.

Here's a trailer for "Eden," "from the producers of 'Once'," or maybe just its executive producer, according to IMDb. An adaptation of Eugene O'Brien's play about a suburban Irish couple facing marital problems on their tenth anniversary, the film received decent reviews when it played at Tribeca, and nabbed an acting prize for lead Eileen Walsh. It's getting a November 7th release from Liberation Entertainment, who are surely hoping it'll seem "Once"-like enough to pull in some of that title's audience.

Here's the trailer for "Push" -- more superheroes, more, more! Psychic assassins in Hong Kong for no particular reason! Dakota Fanning can see the future and Chris Evans has TK in the new film from director Paul McGuigan, otherwise known for the overly stylish indies "Gangster No. 1" and "Lucky Number Slevin." "Push" is due out February 6th.

And here's a red-band trailer for Tomas Alfredson's excellent vampire/adolescent angstfest "Let The Right One In" (here's my review from Tribeca), which opens this week.
