Yesterday Paramount held a presentation showing off footage, logos etc for their upcoming slate of blockbusters. They showed logos for Transformers 4 and Ninja Turtles, old trailers for movies like Hansel and Gretel: Witch Hunters and G.I Joe: Retaliation and more interestingly footage for Darren Aronofsky’s Noah and the much-troubled World War Z. Read footage descriptions for both those movies, courtesy of Coming Soon, below.

NOAH

“Darren Aronoskfy’s Noah was up next, the footage showing off a hairy and dirty Russell Crowe as well as a number of other prime characters. We also got a look at the ark and, contrary to more idealistic versions of what was necessary to survive the epic flood, this one doesn’t look much like a ship, rather a gigantic wooden box. Stealing the spotlight from the structure and the film’s stars is the country of Iceland. The piece is packed with scenic shots including some of the lushest environments and stunning skies.”

WORLD WAR Z

“The presentation ended on a profoundly high note with a trailer for the adaptation of Max Brooks’ zombie novel, World War Z. It begins with Brad Pitt’s character sitting in traffic with his family. They’re busy playing a game when a cop bashes on their window in a panic. Standing near the driver side window, the cop begs Pitt to stay in his vehicle and, soon thereafter, is pummeled by a bus careening out of control. An explosion erupts and a mass of people race down the city streets. Pitt and his family hop into an abandoned RV and we get a glimpse of the world in madness. Beyond an unusual pair of eyes, we don’t get a good look at World War Z’s zombies, but the measures the uninfected take to reach safety might further confirm what last year’s set footage revealed – that these zombies can run. In the trailer, gigantic hordes of people are scrambling for dear life. They’re not just pushing and shoving each other out of the way, rather climbing on top of each other and manically hanging onto a hovering helicopter. In one of the trailer’s final shots, there’s a mountain of people trying to climb over a wall that must be hundreds of wriggling bodies high. The material is dark and downright horrifying, not only showing what could happen should the undead invade on a physical level, but also reflecting the societal meltdown that would ensue, and the pure chaos we’d be left with. World War Z was certainly the crown jewel of the presentation and, based on the footage, looks to be well worth the wait.”

I have to say that does sound pretty damn good for both movies, especially considering World War Z has had tons of production troubles.
