Public Enemies - What Did You Think?
Up In The Air, Iron Man 2, Shutter Island and Last Airbender Promo Posters
Posted on Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Cinema Expo International 2009 is being held in Amsterdam this week and Film1 has snapped a bunch of photos of some of the promotional posters on display on the show floor. Let me give you full disclosure: these posters are usually just marketing mockups, and some of the time the eventual public teaser posters look completely different. That said, the style is sometimes dead on, so don’t be surprised if you see something like these one-sheets in your local multiplex soon. After the jump I’ve included the promo posters for Jason Reitman’s Up in the Air, M Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island and Jon Favreau’s Iron Man 2.
Showtime has apparently released a new teaser poster advertisement promoting the fourth season of Dexter. Check out the full poster after the jump.
Warner Bros has premiered two character posters for Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes. The posters feature Robert Downey Jr as Holmes and Jude Law as Watson, and the taglines: “Nothing Escapes Him” and “Crime Will Pay”. Maybe they shoulda said “Not Your Father’s Sherlock Holmes”… oh wait, another film already took that slogan this summer. Check out both posters after the jump.
Just What We Need… Even MORE Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince Posters
Posted on Thursday, June 18th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
Warner Bros has released five more international posters for Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. I mean, its not like the studio hasn’t already released 20 other posters. Oh wait, they have? Check the new one-sheets out after the jump.
New International Poster For Inglourious Basterds
Posted on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 by Russ Fischer
Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds already has a handful of great domestic one-sheets, but now it has an international (Italian, to be exact) poster that is strives to keep with the images used to sell movies that inspired Tarantino to make his new war picture. Premiered on BadTaste.it, the image combines character portraits with a smear of blood, and continues to suggest that this is just a big fun Tarantino war movie. Which, of course, it isn’t. But hey, close enough. Read More »
Judd Apatow’s Funny People: The Films of George Simmons
Posted on Wednesday, June 17th, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
In Judd Apatow’s Funny People, Adam Sandler’s character George Simmons is a successful stand-up comic turned comedy star who has appeared in many shitty but successful movies. Apatow was forced to create some of the character’s earlier big screen hits. Some of the films appear as posters or whatnot in the background, while others actually feature prominently on screen.
Click on the poster images above to enlarge. After the jump we have a few clips from some of these films, complete with hilariously bad plot outlines.
Paramount Pictures has decided to combat the bad buzz and possibly false rumors surrounding G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra with a new series of character posters. From what I hear, the posters are at least ten times cooler than the actual movie (and the posters really aren’t that cool…). If you want to see these one sheets in full resolution, head on over to one of these fine sites: Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Ripcord, Baroness, and Duke. They have also released a new extended one and a half minute television spot (its so long that I’m calling it a tv trailer) which you can watch on YouTube. There isn’t a lot of new footage, but leave your thoughts in the comments below.
Zombie Roundup - All The Undead News It’s Fit To Print
Posted on Monday, June 8th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
The Zombie movie onslaught doesn’t seem to abating at all, with reel after reel of the living dead set to unspool in the coming months. There’s white zombies, black zombies, Spanish zombies, yellow zombies, there’s hot zombies, cold zombies, there’s wet zombies, there’s smelly zombies… and whatever else Mr. Marin said about lady parts in From Dusk Til Dawn. After the break you can catch updates on Zombieland, Deader Country, Dead Snow, I Spit on Your Rave and more.
Empire Magazine has gotten their hands on a new international movie poster for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
The one-sheet features Shia LaBouf and Megan Fox running through the desert, with Optimus Prime and Bumblebee following close behind. It almost looks as if Optimus takes another step, he would crush Sam and Mikaela. And we have the pyramids and signature Michael Bay sunset and explosions in the background.
Head on over to Empire to see the poster in higher resolution. I would normally post something like this in Page 2, but its a slow news morning.
AICN have posted a batch of new promotional images and posters from the Licensing Show in Las Vegas, including a promotional poster for Spider-Man 4, a generic Iron Man 2 character banner and a poster featuring Shrek and Donkey for Shrek Forever After.
But the thing that caught my attention was the first promotional art for DreamWorks Animation’s Oobermind. Maybe just because we havent seen any of these character designs before. This is the superhero project being produced by Ben Stiller, formerly titled Master Mind. I’ve cleaned up some of the images and posted them after the jump. Head on over to AICN to see the promotional art in higher resolution.
New Marvel Movie Logos and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World Teaser Poster
Posted on Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009 by Peter Sciretta
A bunch of cool artwork is on display at the Las Vegas Licensing International Expo, including the first promotional poster for Edgar Wright’s big screen adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, and updated logos for the four upcoming Marvel productions: Iron Man 2, Thor, The First Avenger: Captain America and The Avengers which have popped up over at AICN.
I’ve cleaned up the photos of the Marvel logos and Scott Pilgrim poster (corrected aspect, color corrected, sharpened…etc) and have included them after the jump. Head on over to AICN for the original higher resolution snapshots. They also have snaps of posters for Gore Verbinski’s animated Rango starring Johnny Depp, DreamWorks Animation’s How To Train Your Dragon, and Steve Carell’s Despicable Me. Head on over to AICN for more.
Empire has a first look at the international poster for Stephen Sommer’s GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra. The poster separates Joe and Cobra, and features the same “trying too hard to look cool” look of the previous character posters. Head on over to Empire to see the poster in higher resolution. G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra will hit theaters on August 7th 2009.
