Another sleek new poster to feature today. This one is for an indie film called Winged Creatures from Australian filmmaker Rowan Woods. Peace Arch Entertainment recently retitled the film to just Fragments for its US release, even though this poster is not from the US. I wanted to feature it today because, although it's not the best film, the poster has a pretty cool design showing a spilled cup of coffee that turns into a bird. Simple, but effective, and well done in the visual context of the poster. Unfortunately, I had the chance to see this late last year, and it was terrible. But even so, this poster is worth checking out in full below.

Winged Creatures is about a group of strangers in a small town who form a unique relationship with each other after surviving a random shooting at a California diner. We ran an early trailer for it back in 2008.

As you get a glimpse of on the poster, the ensemble cast for Winged Creatures includes Kate Beckinsale, Dakota Fanning, Jackie Earle Haley, Jennifer Hudson, Josh Hutcherson, Guy Pearce, and Forest Whitaker. Thanks to our friends at IMPAwards for finding this poster and uploading it. What do you think?

Winged Creatures is directed by Australian filmmaker Rowan Woods, of The Boys and Little Fish previously as well as some episodes of "Farscape". The screenplay was written by first-time screenwriter Roy Freirich. This first premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival last year to rather lackluster reviews. Peace Arch Entertainment will eventually be bringing Winged Creatures to limited theaters starting sometime this year. Its been delayed for a long time and with the title change, this is an early sign that it might be finally ready.
