Variety had a blurb over the weekend about Trailers From Hell. The site, recently lauched by producer Elizabeth Stanley, invites genre directors (known on the site as “grindhouse gurus”) to record commentary over trailers of their favorite B-movies of yore. The trailers can be watched with or without commentary, on the site or on the “Fun Little Movies” channel on Sprint cellphones and on the iPhone.

So far, the content on Trailers From Hell looks great. They’re spectacular trailers, they’re three-minute hyper-speed Hollywood history lessons, they’re dish-fests. Mick Garris disses Robert Zemeckis for his over-indulgent shooting methods; Shaun of the Dead director Edgar Wright wonders how anyone could find “Austin Powers that funny when something like Danger: Diabolique is the real deal, and is for my money as funny as Austin Powers.”

Five trailers are available on the site now, with five more in the works. I’ll definitely check back to see what Mary Lambert has to say about Village of the Damned.
