New French Poster for Avatar & 3 Hour Runtime Confirmed
Here's our first look at the final poster design for James Cameron's Avatar. They essentially added a lush background and half of Jake Sully's face onto the teaser poster. Our friends at Awards Daily are right - this looks a bit too similar to the Benjamin Button posters, but oh well. It's now an exact month from when Avatar will hit theaters, which means the hype should really be growing. In related news, SlashFilm found an interview with composer James Horner where he confirmed that the runtime would be nearly 3 hours. Will this poster with half-faces and an orange glow actually convince audiences to catch this in theaters?
Full Alice in Wonderland Triptych Poster Finally Unveiled
Last week, Disney kicked off a small viral with The Mad Hatter on Facebook who was leading us to some "treasure." As we quickly found out, his treasure was a series of three posters for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland that when put together would give us a good look at all the characters from the movie. The complete reveal took a lot longer than Disney expected, and although they didn't even reach their final goal, they just said to hell with it and put out the final poster anyway. So here it is, the complete triptych poster for Alice in Wonderland for your viewing pleasure. Click the photo or head to Flickr to see it in high res.
Check This Out: Teaser Poster for Angelina Jolie's Salt
You've already seen the teaser trailer for Salt, but this is the first teaser poster to hit. JoBlo has debuted the teaser poster for the Phillip Noyce directed action thriller starring Angelina Jolie, Liev Schreiber, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Zoe Lister Jones. I'm looking forward to this not necessarily because Angelina Jolie is in it, but rather because there's so much mystery to it and the story. "Who is Salt?" is the tagline they're using in this marketing campaign and I like that they're trying to build up as much mystery and intrigue as possible. The face on this also seems off-center and I'm not sure if that's part of the design or what? Anyway, check it out!
Check This Out: Official Poster for Jeff Bridges' Crazy Heart
Seen below is Fox Searchlight's official poster for Crazy Heart from the LA Times. The trailer arrives on Monday, but I thought I'd feature this anyway. If you haven't heard yet, Crazy Heart is the latest big Oscar contender, and it already has a lot of support. Jeff Bridges plays a broken-down, hard-living country music singer in a kind of Wrestler-like story. Apparently it's a "performance of a lifetime" from Bridges with critics like Kris Tapley of In Contention and Jeffrey Wells supporting him. "Jeff Bridges is definitely in the Best Actor derby… [His] best since The Big Lebowski but tonally opposite and much harder hitting, of course."
Check This Out: Another Awesome Teaser Poster for Kick-Ass
"I can't fly. But I can kick your ass." Yesterday evening the teaser trailer for Kick-Ass hit the web, finally introducing everyone to Mark Millar's awesome comic book "super" hero. In addition to that trailer, a new poster has popped up on MySpace, a one-off teaser poster not like the four connected ones we featured last week. As you can tell, Lionsgate is obviously going with the spray paint motif in their marketing campaign for Kick-Ass, as it was used heavily in the trailer and now it's part of the logo on this poster. Not sure I dig that idea entirely, but I otherwise do like this poster a lot. Check it out and let us know what you think?
Two Badass Posters for Pierre Morel's From Paris with Love
I don't want to keep using the word "badass" to describe everything from Pierre Morel's new movie From Paris with Love, but there is no better word to use! This is his follow-up to Taken that is already ready to go and being released next February. We've seen one poster already and a badass trailer (there's that damn word again) and now we have two more official posters thanks to Crave Online. I wasn't sure if these would be cool, but I really love the design. I love the slanted lettering and the pose they use and the blood splatter, everything about them. I have been continually impressed by their marketing for this, bravo Lionsgate!
The Mad Hatter Needs Your Help, Follow Him for Treasure!
I'm really digging the social/viral marketing Disney is doing for Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland. When the first trailer debuted in July, they used Facebook to build lots of early buzz. Now they're using Facebook again to debut another new series of posters (as far as we know). The Mad Hatter has posted a message on his fan page saying that if he gets 7500 "likes" on that message, he'll give us more "treasure." The first poster, seen below, reveals a good look at all the Alice in Wonderland characters, including the caterpillar (as it was leaked earlier this week). But of course, we're waiting for the full high res version!
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?
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!
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!
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!
Check This Out: Creepy Poster for Charisma Carpenter's Psychosis
This poster should definitely get a few of you in the mood for Halloween. Our horror friends at STYD have debuted the official poster for Reg Traviss' Psychosis starring Charisma Carpenter. This horror thriller is about a horror novelist (Carpenter) who relocates with her husband to a beautiful English mansion. Once there she begins seeing visions of a horrible massacre that happened 15 years earlier. Desperate to prove she isn't losing her mind, Susan must uncover the secrets behind the massacre or risk becoming a victim herself. Sounds fun. Check out this rather creepy poster that reminds me a bit of the Drag Me to Hell poster below.
Check This Out: Teaser Poster for How to Train Your Dragon
Is everyone excited for the new DreamWorks Animation movie?! Okay, okay, I'm joking, and I know there isn't much to this poster, but I thought it was worth featuring anyway. Our friends at IMPAwards found the first official teaser poster for DreamWorks Animation's How to Train Your Dragon, their next movie due out in March. It's very bland for a teaser poster and I'm a bit confused - is this movie about real people or is it about dragons? As far as I can remember, it's about a kid who must hunt and tame the most fiercest dragon of all, right? Um, something like that. Maybe we'll get a trailer soon? Who knows? Check this out!
Eva Green is Gorgeous on the Poster for Jordan Scott's Cracks
Thank you Martin Campbell for introducing me to Eva Green as a Bond girl first! She's an amazingly beautiful person and I would've been begging to see her play a Bond girl if that wasn't her big breakout role anyway. Now you're probably wondering what Cracks is about, just as I was when I first saw this over on Empire. First off, the film is the feature directorial debut of Jordan Scott, who is Ridley Scott's daughter. Let's hope his filmmaking prowess passed on to her, too. Secondly, Cracks is a drama that looks at the lives and relationships among girls at an elite British boarding school. Green plays one of their teachers, Miss G.
