Five Badass New Posters & Banners for Clash of the Titans!
I thought we'd seen everything for this already! Apparently not. UGO has debuted five new incredibly badass (and gorgeous) banners and posters for Louis Leterrier's Clash of the Titans remake, hitting theaters (in 3D) in a little less than two months. I already really liked the original two posters they put out for this, but these are the cream of the crop. They look awesome and I'm already dying to get a few to put up on my walls for some epic decoration. The only thing is I'm not too keen on using the Kraken as center of the marketing campaign. He looks badass, but don't ruin that part of the movie by showing him too much. So take a look!
Great UK Quad Poster for Samuel Maoz's Tank Film 'Lebanon'
Everyone knows I love a good movie poster and today we have another beautiful one to feature. Empire has debuted the official UK quad poster for Lebanon, the film set entirely inside of a tank (the one pictured) that premiered at the Toronto Film Festival last year (we wrote about it last September). I never got to see the film but I am still very much looking forward to seeing it whenever it shows up at another film festival. I love the poster because of the beautiful sunflower / tank dynamic. It's simple and it's eye-catching and very easy to look at. I just wish that this wasn't a beautiful poster only for the UK release. So check it out below!
Check This Out: Badass Poster for James Purefoy's Ironclad
"Blood. Will. Run." Hell. Yes. Empire has debuted the first poster for Ironclad starring James Purefoy and it's pure badass. I definitely don't think this is an MPAA approved poster because there's no way they'd allow that much blood on a sword. It would get banned if this was put out in the US! But that's why I freakin' love this poster. We featured a first look photo from Ironclad a couple months back but haven't seen a trailer yet. The film is described as a "medieval Seven Samurai" about a determined group of Knights Templar who defend Rochester Castle against the tyrannical King John in the 13th century. Anyway, check out the poster!
Two New Retro Mondo Posters: Frozen & House of the Devil
I love Mondo Tees! They always create and sell some of the most amazing posters you'll ever find. In honor of the release of two upcoming grindhouse-esque movies, Mondo has created two brand new posters (both of which are for sale on their website for $25 each). One of them is for Ti West's The House of the Devil (which hits VHS tomorrow). The other one is for Adam Green's Frozen, the stuck-on-a-ski-lift thriller that premiered at Sundance and hits limited theaters this coming weekend (February 5th). You can check out both of them below thanks to Bloody-Disgusting. They're both gorgeous so keep on reading to see them!
Brand New Poster for Edward Norton's Leaves of Grass Film
Another fun stoner movie! AICN has debuted the official poster for Tim Blake Nelson's Leaves of Grass starring Edward Norton (twice) as two brothers. We ran a trailer for this last year and I've heard that it might be out in theaters sometime this spring, so keep your eyes open at your local art house for Leaves of Grass sometime this year. I like this poster but it's not perfect, mainly because I'm sure the MPAA told them they're not allowed to have any marijuana-related symbols or paraphenalia, which I'm sure is why there are some rolling papers and nothing else. I actually really enjoyed this film and suggest everyone check it out!
Early Teaser Poster for Sundance Favorite 'Animal Kingdom'
One great film that I saw very early on at the Sundance Film Festival was Animal Kingdom, directed by Australian filmmaker David Michôd. No, it has nothing to do with Disneyland or even animals at all, it's an intense Departed-like drama about a family of bank robbers in the underworld of Melbourne, Australia. It's a fantastic film, one of my favorites of this fest, even though I never wrote a review for it. I'm hoping it gets picked up for release because I want so many people to see it. But until it gets bought, you can check out this very sleek early teaser poster for the film (courtesy of IMPAwards). Bold design, but I like the look of it.
Awesome Sundance Posters for Stoner Comedy HIGH School
Hey stoners, put down your bong for just a second and check out these posters! I first came across some of these posters in the press office at Sundance, but just now came across full-size versions of these awesome posters for HIGH School. This is the stoner comedy about a valedictorian who gets his entire high school stoned so that he doesn't get expelled. I caught the world premiere a few days ago and totally loved it (read my review). These posters are dead on perfect for the film and I wouldn't even mind seeing them used for its actual release (when it gets picked up), although I don't think the MPAA will approve them. Now blaze up!
Two New Posters for M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender
With a brand new theatrical trailer and Superbowl TV spot on the way, Paramount has released two new contrasting posters at Yahoo (check them out below), for M. Night Shyamalan's forthcoming adaptation of the Nickelodeon cartoon series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Though after passing The Dark Knight as the 2nd highest domestic grossing film of all time (and closing in on Titanic with only about $47 million to go), James Cameron's sci-fi epic pretty much has a lock on the Avatar name, so it looks like "Avatar" has been dropped from its title and is now simply known as The Last Airbender. If you're a fan, you'll dig these.
Check These Out: Great Series of X-Ray Posters for Repo Men
In the midst of all the Sundance mayhem comes these four poster for the upcoming movie Repo Men, the "wannabe remake" of Darren Bousman's Repo! The Genetic Opera. We just featured the trailer a few weeks ago and it doesn't look that bad either, so maybe I'm being a bit harsh. But anyway, IMPAwards has posted three new posters from Repo Men that put together are part of the fourth poster. It's kind of a play on the MasterCard commercials with the price of various fake organs (which is part of the concept for this movie) and the "Total Price: $2,600,000." They actually do look pretty cool which is why I'm featuring them today.
Floating Heads & Fog Abound on The Final Wolfman Poster
With all the ridiculous problems Universal's monster movie revival The Wolfman, including flip-flopping back to Danny Elfman's original score for the film, everyone here at FirstShowing is ready for the film to be released already so we can just see if it's a disaster or not. But while we're waiting for it to hit theaters next month Bloody-Disgusting gives us an obligatory look at the final poster for the film which has an infamous floating head design. While the poster is nowhere as special as Basil Gogos' painted Wolfman poster, it gives us one final ominous look at the monster himself in his usual stalking grounds of the dark woods. Check it!
Badass Grindhouse Teaser Poster for 'The Runaways' Biopic
Apparition has debuted the new teaser poster for Floria Sigismondi's The Runaways, the Joan Jett biopic starring Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning. MTV revealed the faded, vintage teaser poster with flares of a grindhouse / exploitation style, fitting considering the band hit big in the 70s. And if you don't get what's going on in this, that's one big cherry bomb, which is a play on their very popular song "Cherry Bomb." It's a great poster for a movie we're hoping is great as well. After its debut at Sundance on Sunday, we'll find out whether it really is or not. We also featured the teaser trailer back in December. Check out the poster below!
Check This Out: Beautiful Poster for Tilda Swinton's I Am Love
As everyone probably knows, I'm a sucker for great posters, and this is easily one of my favorites of 2010. Vulture debuted the official poster for Italian director Luca Guadagnino's film I Am Love that stars Tilda Swinton and Flavio Parenti. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival last year and also played at the Toronto, Rome, and now Sundance Film Festivals. I love this poster because of the great photo they use and the elegant interaction of the title lettering around the characters, especially Tilda Swinton. They actually use a technique that I use often on the site with photos in some of our articles. Anyway, check it out below.
Official Poster Unveiled for Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer
Summit has just debuted the official poster for Roman Polanski's The Ghost Writer today. A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see the film and I actually really enjoyed it. In fact, I was quoted in USA Today talking about how great it was and my thoughts the situation. It's a great mystery film with a great cast and an incredible story with some riveting twists and turns. And the score by Alexandre Desplat was incredible as well. To reference my own quote from USA Today, "it's very Hitchcockian." This poster looks pretty good, I love Pierce Brosnan on the wall behind him. Watch the first trailer here as well if you haven't seen it yet!
The IMPAwards Winners: The Best & Worst Posters of 2009
Every year the IMPAwards movie poster website (the best database for posters) hosts the Internet Movie Poster Awards, their own "best of the year" awards, that have become the most popular awards for movie posters on the web. The "Imp" as he's known has made his picks for 2009's best & worst posters and they're picks as always. What I love about these awards is that they have numerous categories in order to feature a lot of great posters. But the true king this year, the Best Poster of the Year (for 2009), was the beautiful UK poster for Terry Gilliam's Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. Read on to see some of 2009's big winners!
One More Amazing Poster for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass!
Lionsgate has debuted one more amazing poster for Matthew Vaughn's Kick-Ass (via HitFix) featuring the entire line-up of faux heroes, not just one at a time. I know I shouldn't go this crazy, but I absolutely love this poster. In fact, I'm calling it my favorite poster of 2010 so far. I love the way it looks, I love how simple yet eye-catching it is, I love the paint splatter effect (instead of blood). It's a brilliantly designed poster that feels perfectly representative of the movie. It's rare we see posters this good. I don't know if it'll change anyone's mind about Kick-Ass, but I hope it at least gets everyone out to see it in April. Check it out below!
