Hotel Transylvania Trailer 2

The second trailer (above) for Sony Pictures Animation's Hotel Transylvania arrived online yesterday. Much better than the teaser we saw a while back, this newest trailer (courtesy of Yahoo! Movies) shows a lot more of everything: more heart, more story, more character. Also, the animation is very stylish and striking and looks to make Hotel Transylvania a visually exciting film.

Admittedly, I'm still not head-over-heels excited about it, but Hotel Transylvania looks promising, and Sony may be on to another surprise hit, à la Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs here.


Directed by Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack), Hotel Transylvania, stars the voices of Adam Sandler, Selena Gomez and Kevin James and is due out on 28th September in the US and 12th October here in the UK.

First Look at Hotel Transylvania

USA Today have provided us with our first look at Sony Pictures Animation's Hotel Transylvania. The tale of the Dracula (Adam Sandler) run hotel - a home away from home for monsters - and his relationship with his daughter (Selena Gomez), has been plagued by production problems, before finding its latest director Genndy Tartakovsky (the creator of Dexter's Lab and Samurai Jack).

The USA Today article provides us with the two images you can see here (showing the film's distinct visual style and showcasing its vast cast of characters) as well as some words from the film's director about the film and its voice cast - including Sandler, his comedy partner Kevin James, and Steve Buscemi. After all of the trouble surrounding the film, it would be easy to write it off, however these images give me some hope and Sony Pictures Animation have a fairly strong track record.

Head on over to USA Today to read the full article.  Hotel Transylvania is due for release on 28th September in the US, and 12th October here in the UK.
