Last night at the conclusion of the 81st Academy Awards during the credits everyone was given a vague and not exactly informative look into the films we can look forward to in the coming year. While it's pretty much a guarantee that most of these films will not see awards placement next year, there are some cool never-before-seen clips (though they are all covered by music) for some highly anticipated 2009 films like:

• Sherlock Holmes with Jude Law, Rachel McAdams, and Robert Downey, Jr.
  
  
• Public Enemies with Johnny Depp and Christian Bale
  
  
• Julie and Julia with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams
  
  
• Fame with Kelsey Grammer and Megan Mullally
  
  
• Amelia with Hilary Swank and Richard Gere
  
  
• Whatever Works with Larry David and Evan Rachel Wood
  
  
• Old Dogs with Robin Williams and John Travolta
  
  
• The Boat that Rocked with Philip Seymour Hoffman and Emma Thompson
  
  
• An Education with Peter Sarsgaard and Alfred Molina
  
  
• Imagine That with Eddie Murphy and Thomas Haden Church
  
  
• G-Force with Nicolas Cage and Steve Buscemi
  

The first trailer for Judd Apatow's upcoming comedy set in the world of stand-up comics, the aptly named Funny People. Of course it's funny but the trailer really strikes an emotional chord too. Along with some great jokes coming from Seth Rogen and Adam Sandler there are some scenes that really pull at your heartstrings and I think this is going to be a real tearjerker. Apatow has a really great way of crafting comedy in the face of life-altering and potentially tragic situations, and this one just takes it to the next level. I can only assume his next comedy will be set during some sort of terrorist attack, and then no one will be able to stop him. Check out the trailer below.
