SXSW 2010 is off to a pretty exciting start. Not only did Kick-Ass premiere last night at the lovely Paramount theater (more on that later), but shortly after Robert Rodriguez previewed some early footage and details for Nimród Antal’s upcoming Predators reboot.

Umm…shit. I can’t say I’m a Tron fanboy by any stretch, but Disney’s new trailer for the December 2010-slated sequel, Tron Legacy, is pretty damn awesome. I have to think that with a visual film like this, 3D rendering is the right choice and should prove a big pay off. Jeff Bridges, too, looks solid returning as Flynn. (Even I can appreciate him in this, despite being bothered by his Oscar award for Crazy Heart).

Following the 82nd Annual Academy Awards comes a second trailer for the upcoming Iron Man 2. This take gives us a look at some of the new elements to the story, such as Stark’s on-to-go suit (or whatever you might call it), as well as Rourke’s character Whiplash; which I still contend is going to be the best part of the film.

Patrick Wilson’s new film, Barry Munday, which premieres this week at SXSW in Austin, looks super cute, if not incredibly bizarre. The basic plot surrounds Wilson’s character losing his family jewels, but gaining something far more valuable in return. The equation is a bit cheesy, sure. The apparent humor and interesting cast, however, seems like it can work.

I was really looking forward to Get Him To The Greek, since I adored Russell Brand’s character, Aldous Snow, in Forgetting Sarah Marshall. Sadly, judging from the first trailer, it looks like Greek is probably just a fun after-thought, and nowhere on the level of Sarah Marshall, (despite what the marketing may want you to believe). Why the hell does P. Diddy have such a prominent role?

Aww…this brings back memories from when the first Toy Story hit back in 1995. Things have changed a bit with the story since then, most the addition of Ken and Barbie this time around. Is Ken supposed to be metrosexual or will he eventually turn out to be a big mo’? (Doubtful, since it’s Disney, but still a curious question).

M. Night Shyamalan directing The Last Airbender might reflexively turn some off to the film (ahem…The Happening); but rest assured, he’s working with existing material and not crafting his own tale, which has been his default approach in the past.

The pairing of Bruce Willis and Tracey Morgan seemed an odd choice, but I have to admit that Cop Out (originally entitled A Couple of Dicks), actually looks pretty funny.
