A new trailer for DreamWorks upcoming tent-pole Transformers: Dark of the Moon has hit the web. The clip is set to hard rock outfit Linkin Park’s song “Iridescent.” The tune is super pussified, but the footage looks pretty cool—although at 1:11 mark it becomes clear that Rosie Huntington-Whiteley ain’t much of a screamer.

Transformers 3 arrives in theaters on July 1.

Peep the video:

Canadian Starlet Shannon Beckner Revs Up ‘Super Hybrid’

SUPER-HYBRID

Anchor Bay Entertainment has set an Aug. 23 home-video release date for director Eric Valette’s (One Missed Call) ode to killer car flicks Super Hybrid. The film stars pretty Canadian up-and-comer Shannon Beckner (American Pie: Beta House), who—according to her IMDB bio—had to learn how to weld to get the role (those Hollywood casting guys sure are a kinky bunch).

The film’s synopsis reads:

Late one night, a mysterious car is brought into the Chicago police impound garage after a deadly traffic accident. The on-call mechanics soon discover the car has a mind of its own. With hundreds of horsepower and two tons of reinforced steel at its command, it’s a seemingly unstoppable killing machine capable of outrunning — and outwitting — humans.

Super Hybrid costars the very sexy Melanie Papalia (American Pie: Book of Love), Ryan Kennedy (“Hellcats”), and Oded Fehr (Resident Evil: Extinction).
