Rant: So THIS is Why New Line Cinema Went Under!
This will probably the one-and-only time you'll ever hear me talk about Sex and the City, but that's because it's a worthwhile discussion. We all know that New Line Cinema "went under" or, should we say, fell apart back in February, and in turn was folded in under Warner Brothers. Leading up to that official announcement, I kept speculating about its demise, including a specific article back in December titled Is This The Death of New Line Cinema?. In it, I claimed their terrible marketing was why their films have continued to fail and yet again we have another prime example of their incompetence. Although this new marketing campaign for the Sex and the City movie might actually be handled by Warner Brothers by now, I'm utterly confused by their idiocy when it comes to poster design! The movie will still succeed - but can they seriously be this blind?
Slick New Poster for Star Wars: The Clone Wars
In addition to yesterday's poster for X-Files: I Want to Believe, another slick new poster has debuted - this time for Star Wars: The Clone Wars. Thankfully I'm actually able to talk about this movie since it is getting a theatrical release this August. While I am mildly excited to see Star Wars return again to the big screen, I'm not even remotely as close to excited as I am for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. However, let's get back on topic. This poster looks both well-designed and epic enough to capture my attention and slap fans in the face as a reminder that this animated movie is coming to theaters in a few months. Enough pointless banter, let's check it out!
Hardcore New X-Files: I Want to Believe Poster
A brand new Polish poster for The X-Files: I Want to Believe has appeared online and it's pretty badass. While I'm not a huge X-Files fan, this poster almost makes me wish I was. And the best part - this was probably banned by the MPAA here in America but thank goodness for the internet because we can still share it with all of you! But don't expect a blood-splattered X-Files 2 poster to show up in your theater - as far as we know. There is still plenty of marketing for X-Files: I Want to Believe that we haven't seen yet, but for now this new poster is all we've got. Take a look below and if you're a fan let us know what you think!
The Wackness Official Poster Debuts - Really?
Are you kidding me? This is the official poster for The Wackness that is supposed to stand up next to other heavy-hitting summer posters like this one and this one? While I'm sure Sony Pictures Classics is saying to themselves, any publicity is good publicity, this time they're going to get a mouthful. This is pitiful! They just took the original design from Sundance, which I wasn't very impressed with any way, and threw an ugly out-of-focus drawing in the background. We knew it from the start - this is going to be a disaster of a release all because Sony Pictures Classics does NOT know what to do with The Wackness!
New International Babylon A.D. Poster
We were the first ones to debut the teaser poster for Babylon A.D. last year, and now we've got our hands on the brand new international poster. While I don't think this is as eye-catching as the last one, it is pretty damn snazzy and I like the darker, futuristic look of it. It kind of reminds me of Blade Runner just a bit, but who knows if that's really what the movie will feel like. If you've been following our updates on it, apparently the film was taken out of director Mathieu Kassovitz's hands and edited by Fox. Right now we're trying not to think about that and enjoy the poster on its own while waiting for this to finally hit theaters.
First Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor Teaser Poster
We now have the official teaser poster for the upcoming The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Finally every major summer movie has a poster; for the longest time this movie sat scheduled without a poster, or a trailer, or hardly any imagery - but now that's changed. Although this isn't much of an introduction, it should be enough to hold us over until the first trailer which better be in the next few weeks or this movie is screwed. With that being said, take a look, and importantly, sound off and let us know below - is anyone looking forward to this movie this summer?
Five Glorious New International Dark Knight Posters
And you thought that amazing poster last week was all we'd get! Five new international posters for The Dark Knight have just appeared courtesy of the Brazilian site Omelete. Most of today will probably end up being dedicated to The Dark Knight, given we've got another viral marketing game hitting 12 cities at 5:30PM, and the trailer is supposed to premiere later on in the evening. However, if you just can't handle your excitement, then feast your eyes on these beauties. While they're technically international, a few of them might show up around your own neighborhood or eventually in theaters near you.
Amazing New Poster for The Dark Knight!
An absolutely phenomenal new poster for The Dark Knight has been discovered as part of the on-going viral marketing game. You can check it out below but I guarantee you will be BLOWN AWAY. I have not seen a poster that brings out this much energy and excitement ever. I'm certain this isn't the last poster we'll see - but is the first full poster featuring Batman himself. I love the colors, I love Batman's pose, I love the flaming building - this poster kicks some serious ass! Now is everyone getting excited for The Dark Knight? We've got 85 days left until it hits theaters and I hope you're getting even more excited each and every day. Check out the awesome new poster below!
Exclusive: Final Sex and the City: The Movie Poster
Being a big movie aficionado I love everything that shows up on my front porch from movie studios and I occasionally get some great movie posters. While this time I wouldn't call this great (the new Dark Knight poster instead is amazing) this is something that did catch my eye. I thought it was worth a mention before we head into the summer movie season. Sex and the City: The Movie is going to be a huge hit this summer - I guarantee it. The buzz, albeit 90% female, is pretty tremendous. Guys have their Dark Knight, girls have their Sex and the City. Check out the the final Sex and the City: The Movie poster below.
Does This Excite You? New Poster for Wanted
The last few posters that have been released recently (with the exception of the beautiful Hellboy II poster), have been fairly unimpressive. We talked about the new Strangers one yesterday. Now it's time to talk about the new Wanted poster. I really don't know what is going on with Universal. They seem to have set dates a mere two to three months from a film's release to introduce a poster (is this testing a new marketing strategy?). We barely got The Incredible Hulk poster a few weeks back, we don't yet have a Mummy 3 poster yet, and finally we have the very first poster for Wanted.
Does This Scare You? New Poster for The Strangers
I'm trying to gauge the level of interest and the level of scariness of this upcoming movie - The Strangers. It is one of the only horror movie hitting theaters this entire summer (besides maybe The X-Files: I Want to Believe or Baghead or Midnight Meat Train), which goes to show that Universal seems pretty damn confident in it. STYD has debuted the latest poster which features nothing more than a scene cut directly from the trailer (how original). It's interesting that they chose this photo because I'm guessing they think it's going to creep people out enough to get them to see it. So I'm wondering, does it scare you?
Official Teaser Poster for Frank Miller's The Spirit
This weekend is the New York Comic Con, so you can expect plenty more comic related news and coverage over the next few days. The official teaser trailer premieres tomorrow afternoon, but the teaser poster for Frank Miller's The Spirit has debuted courtesy of AICN. I was thinking about passing this up and just throwing it in the trailer announcement tomorrow, but when I took a closer look at it, I realized I couldn't do that. Something about this really captured me, and I think it's the classic look with the huge letters and so on. Take a look and make sure to come back tomorrow for the trailer!
Drew Struzan's Hellboy II: The Golden Army Poster!
When we first posted about this, it was simply the news that it would happened - it's that big and awesome. Now it's finally here in all of its beautiful glory. Artist Drew Struzan has finished drawing a gorgeous Hellboy II: The Golden Army poster and it's launching at the New York Comic Con this weekend. Thanks to CHUD we have our first look at it and damn is it bad ass. This thing gives me fantastic shivers - I can't wait for Hellboy II this summer. Check out this beauty and if you're in New York this weekend (like me) make sure to pick one up!
The Incredible Hulk Poster Revealed!
With a mere 60 days to go until its debut, Universal has finally put out a poster for The Incredible Hulk. The poster features a puny Edward Norton and a giant Hulk standing back-to-back and all the other standard advertising fare. To be honest, it's quite unimpressive - at least, it's not that eye-catching. Whether or not we'll see more posters before its release is still unknown, but it's my guess that this is the one and only Hulk poster there is. Check it out below and chime in with your thoughts as well.
Yet Another Indiana Jones 4 Poster - Updated!
The Adventure Continues. Just when we thought we had seen all of the posters for Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, another new one shows up. As great of an artist as Drew Struzan is, this is probably the one I'd end up buying and framing more than the others. I just love the iconic Indiana Jones look and the rough edges and everything. In March we posted what was presumably the final poster for Indiana Jones 4, but apparently there are still more in the works. And don't forget we also have a Drew Struzan designed Hellboy II poster eventually as well! Let's hear your thoughts on this one.
Gorgeous Banner for Frank Miller's The Spirit
A new outdoor banner set has debuted for Frank Miller's upcoming adaptation of Will Eisner's The Spirit. They've been teasing this movie for years (you can see an old teaser poster here), but now we finally have a brief glimpse of Gabriel Macht as the legendary comic character The Spirit. These banners are gorgeous - wonderfully designed with great tag lines that capture that classic Will Eisner feel. I'm really impressed at this set and I expect it to just get better as we near the film's January 2009 release date. Please check this out - you definitely won't be let down and I hope you're as impressed as I am.
Smokey Pineapple Express Poster Fires Up
The first poster for the upcoming summer stoner comedy Pineapple Express has debuted courtesy of JoBlo. While not the funniest poster around, it definitely does look good and hopefully adds some more enthusiasm for this film. I'm already expecting it to be a sleeper summer hit, just like Superbad last year, and have a feeling it may reignite (pun intended) the stoner comedy genre (more to come on that later this week). Without further hesitation, it's time you feast your eyes on this poster.
Final Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? Poster Discovered
I really hope you haven't forgotten about this little film. Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? is documentary director Morgan Spurlock's (Super Size Me) latest exploration into the question of why people all over the world hate America so much. If you've already heard the big news that Spurlock doesn't exactly find Bin Laden, then don't change your mind - this is still a great documentary on its own that is well worth seeing. Spurlock is one of today's high profile doc directors that can add a his touch to any subject and turn it into something both entertaining and educating. Today we've discovered the final poster for Spurlock's latest documentary.
American Teen's New Poster - Breakfast Club Rip Off
They were five total strangers, with nothing in common, except the school they went to. A heartthrob, a princess, a jock, a rebel and a geek. Before the year was over, they broke the rules. Bared their souls. And changed in ways they never dreamed possible. If that sounds like Breakfast Club, well you're close. A new poster has debuted for American Teen, courtesy of Film School Rejects, and its a blatant rip off of The Breakfast Club's poster - right down to that catchphrase. Well, of course that's what Paramount Vantage is going for, but I'm not satisfied. For some reason this doesn't strike me as the right way to market this film, but I may be wrong. Either way, now that I've got your interest, you still need to check it out.
Four New Colorful Speed Racer Posters Arrive
I'm in a Speed Racer high at the moment. The footage I saw at ShoWest just blew me away. Thankfully Warner Brothers has provided us with even more colorful Speed Racer goodies to hold us over until another trailer (if we get one more?) or at least until May 9th, when it hits both regular and IMAX theaters. Four new posters have arrived, including three character one-sheets and one kick ass regular poster. That last one may be my current favorite poster from 2008 - at least so far!
