Everyday there are several film trailers coming out, but there are only some that have “it” factor to capture your attention in under two minutes. From dramas, to comedies, to animation and more, these six clips managed to be the best trailers recently released:

6. “Get On Up” – Tate Taylor (Aug. 1)

Universal has issued the second look at James Brown biopic “Get On Up” helmed by Tate Taylor. In this hot new trailer we get a peak into the family struggles of Brown’s younger years and his rise to fame. With Chadwick Boseman as James Brown, Viola David as his mother, Octavia Spencer as Aunt Honey and the addicting tunes of the legendary musician, it’s safe to predict that this film will have the potential to reach the level of 2004’s “Ray.”

5. “A Walk Among The Tombstones” – Scott Frank (Sept. 19)

Universal Pictures has released the first trailer for the upcoming “A Walk Among the Tombstones” starring Liam Neeson.

Yes, we’ve seen this basic story before, but the trailer suggests that Scott Frank has raised the bar, of course with the help of Neeson.
