Woops, Here is the Actual Badass Poster for The Wolfman
Just barely two hours ago we ran what we thought was the first, and only, teaser poster for The Wolfman. It only had Emily Blunt on it, so we thought Universal didn't know what they were doing. However, Ain't It Cool News has just exclusively debuted yet another teaser poster for The Wolfman and it is quite badass. I thought about just updating that old post, but when I actually got a glimpse of this, I thought it deserved its own entire post. Sure it looks a bit noir, but this poster is truly impressive, I love it. It's simple, it's dark, it's sinister, it's pretty much perfect. Hell, throw out that other poster, this is all they need. Check it out below!
First Poster for The Wolfman Without Any Wolfman On It!
So who or what is on it, if it's not the Wolfman himself? Just Emily Blunt, who plays Gwen Conliffe, that's all. Cinematical has debuted the first teaser poster for Joe Johnston's The Wolfman, which we've seen two trailers for so far. I think this is a clear sign that Universal does not know how to market this movie. Its been plagued with production problems, even reshoots, and they release two very different trailers. The decision to release a poster without even Benicio Del Toro or Anthony Hopkins on it just shows that they really don't know what they're doing. I'm sure we'll see more posters, but they won't be much better. But who cares?
Sound Off: Richard Kelly's The Box - What Did You Think?
Now that you've seen it, what did you think? Virginia-born filmmaker Richard Kelly has had a very interesting career so far. His first film, Donnie Darko, is still hailed as a masterpiece by many. His second, Southland Tales, is considered one of the worst films ever. Now he's back with his third film, The Box, not only a more accessible studio thriller, but Kelly's most personal film. But how does this one stack up? Is it closer to Donnie Darko or Southland Tales? Does it have a good story with twists and turns that all pay off? Sound off below, leave a comment or two, and let us know what you thought of Richard Kelly's The Box!
Kick-Ass New Character Posters for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass!
Freakin' sweet! IGN has debuted the first four character posters for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass tonight. By now everyone has probably heard about this (or seen the leaked Comic-Con footage), so I don't think it needs an elaborate introduction. Kick-Ass is the adaptation of Mark Millar's awesome comic series about a kid who decides to dress up and be a superhero. While it could've been a goofy, Hollywood spoof, Vaughn went all out to make sure it was a bloody, brutal, violent adaptation true to his own pure vision. And that's already starting to show even in the marketing, as these posters definitely look awesome. Check 'em out!
Another Big Update on The Hobbit from Guillermo del Toro
"I was calmly laying out the next decade of my life when The Hobbit appeared. I was preparing all these things and all of a sudden The Hobbit shows up and takes over my life." Total Film has published an epic 10-page Q&A with director Guillermo del Toro on all things The Hobbit. Of course, we still don't know who is playing Bilbo or when they'll start shooting (considering MGM may go under), but if you're a J.R.R. Tolkien fanatic, you've just got to read it anyway. Plus, it's always great listening to Guillermo talk about making movies! Especially a movie as very highly anticipated as The Hobbit - so just keep on reading!
Watch This: Impressive New World Series Avatar TV Spot!
Fox debuted this brand new 30-second TV spot for James Cameron's Avatar during the World Series game just last night. Thanks to our friends at TheMovieBox it's been added online for your viewing pleasure. They obviously cut this as a much more manly trailer for the sports crowd, without all the lovey dovey stuff in it, just a bunch of guns and badass action. I also love that they keep the machine noise going throughout the whole thing. I doubt this TV spot alone will change the minds of those who still thinks it looks terrible, but it is pretty impressive for a TV spot, so check it out! And let us know if you're still excited for Avatar?
J.J. Abrams' Next New Super Top Secret Project: 500 Rads?
Can you remember back to July 3rd, 2007? You were probably sitting in a theater, and some random trailer started playing that had footage from a surprise birthday party for some guy named Rob. That was the start of Cloverfield. They hadn't even shot any real footage, it was a super secret project, and that first trailer captured everyone's interest. Jump ahead a few years and now J.J. Abrams is done with Star Trek. We don't yet know if he's directing the sequel and his go-to guys from Cloverfield (Matt Reeves, Drew Goddard) are both off doing other projects. So could he be working on another secret project? One called 500 Rads?
Bruckheimer Seems Confident About Depp Returning for Pirates 4
Last week, Disney brought a handful of journalists in to watch the new Prince of Persia trailer and chat with producer Jerry Bruckheimer afterward. Of course, the conversation eventually got to Pirates of the Caribbean and the status of the fourth film. In September, Disney announced that Dick Cook would be stepping down as chairman of Walt Disney Studios, and a few weeks later it was announced that Rich Ross would be replacing him. Following that news, Johnny Depp stated that he was now unsure of returning for another Pirates movie because Cook was no longer there, but Bruckheimer seems confident it'll work out.
Brand New Scream 4 Teaser Poster + A Simple Plot Update
The American Film Market is currently running in Santa Monica this week, which means we'll probably be seeing lots of news and photos and posters over the next few days. ShockTillYouDrop got their hands on the very first teaser poster for Scream 4, which Dimension Films is currently readying to shoot next year. Most of this early artwork is just created to get investors and to sell the movie internationally, but it's still cool to see how they're selling it. In addition, screenwriter Kevin Williamson talked with MTV about the plot of the fourth film and where it's going in this trilogy. If you're a fan of the Scream series, then keep reading!
Must Watch: Intense Teaser Trailer for Angelina Jolie's Salt
Sony has debuted the teaser trailer for Salt, starring Angelina Jolie and directed by Phillip Noyce, their big action movie due out next July. So instead of Wanted this summer, we'll be seeing Angelina Jolie become a female Jason Bourne in Salt. And after watching this trailer, I have to say that's perfectly fine by me, as it looks pretty badass. Throw Mission Impossible into the mix, too, as this looks like they took the best of all three super spies (Bourne, Hunt, Fox), made him a her, and put her into her own movie. For a teaser, this looks great. It'll definitely be one of the summer movies I'm looking forward to seeing. Same with you?
One Final Amusing Trailer for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes
One final trailer for Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes has hit the web this morning, courtesy of our friends at MTV. If you've seen the first trailer and the second TV trailer, you've pretty much seen everything already. There is some new footage, lots of it, in this trailer, and it looks great, but after watching it I felt like I was about to cross that line of having seen too much footage. There's a bit more to the story in this, the effects look much more finished, and overall it looks much more polished. I'm very excited to see Sherlock Holmes, it will probably be the highlight of the holiday season (along with Avatar), but now we've just got to wait.
Check These Out: Awesome Early Clash of the Titans Posters!
Whoa! These came out of nowhere today. Seems like Warner Brothers is preparing to unleash the first of their marketing for Clash of the Titans by the end of the year. Ain't It Cool News just got their hands on eight new character posters and teaser posters for Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans remake (there's also another one on HitFix). We've heard a lot about this remake, even seen a few photos, but we haven't seen anything like these posters and I've got to say, being a huge fan of original, that they really kick ass. I'm very excited for this, I love the style and intensity, I love everything about it. Definitely check these out below!
Michael Fassbender Talks About Neil Marshall's Centurion
It's kind of a slow news day today, so why not? Plus, Michael Fassbender is a badass, and he deserves more time in the spotlight. Frosty over at Collider interviewed Fassbender earlier today for his upcoming film Fish Tank (another great film he's in). At the end, he was asked about his other upcoming film titled Centurion, directed by Neil Marshall, that he just finished shooting in England (that's him in the photo above). I can't explain why, but listening to Fassbender talk about this movie actually makes me excited for it again, despite losing all my faith in Neil Marshall after Doomsday. Read on to hear what he had to say.
Interview: The Box Director Richard Kelly - Part 1: Spoiler Free
Just yesterday, at a quaint hotel in Beverly Hills, I sat down to interview Richard Kelly, the mastermind behind the upcoming film The Box and one of my all-time favorite films, Donnie Darko. We spoke at length about developing The Box and his fascination with science fiction, but because his new film has some big surprise twists, I decided to record a second part talking specifically about spoilers (that will be posted next week after this hits theaters). This half of the interview is completely spoiler free and is about everything The Box and how he got to this point in his career. If you're a fan of Richard Kelly, you need to watch this!
Watch This: Better International Trailer for Prince of Persia
Let's give this another shot. Yesterday afternoon the official trailer for Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time hit the web. For reasons I can't understand, most people hated it, or at least said it wasn't what they expected and look terrible. Another different international trailer for Prince of Persia has popped up today (via Trailer Addict) that is shorter, but better, than that first one. For an adaptation of a video game, I think it looks awesome. It looks like it'll have plenty of badass action and I really don't mind Jake Gyllenhaal. Hopefully in time, and with better footage like this, the rest of you will warm up to Prince of Persia as well.
