Nanette Burstein, known for the documentary “American Teen” and earning an Oscar doc nomination for “On the Ropes,” has a trailer for her first narrative film “Going the Distance.” Aside from being a fairly odd choice to start off your narrative film career with a romcom, does anyone else find Justin Long and Drew Barrymore awkward together? Maybe Charlie Day will make this worth seeing, but probably not.

The trailer for Helen Mirren and Joe Pesci drama “Love Ranch” is up on Apple, and it’s nice to see Pesci so energetic. The film follows the running of the titular brothel and the love triangle between Pesci, Mirren, and newcomer Sergio Peris-Mencheta. Directed by Taylor Hackford of “Ray,” we’re still wondering why the trailer moves so gosh darn fast.
The trailer for Will Ferrel and Brad Pitt’s animated super hero/villain film “Megamind” has been released. We guess it will mildly tide us over until “The Incredibles 2” (we wish). Creators of the “Ice Age” trilogy are back with “Rio,” which follows a bird taking the adventure of his life. This one’s for the kids only, as the trailer’s for the birds.
Finally, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu follows his depressing and long slog “Biutiful” with… a Nike advert. It’s surprisingly positive and well, rather spectacular to say the least. Oh and check the Gael García Bernal cameo too.
