Woops, Here is the Actual Badass Poster for The Wolfman!

The Wolfman Poster

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!

The Wolfman Poster

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!

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

Scream 4

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!

Clash of the Titans

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

Charisma Carpenter in 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

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

Cracks Poster

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.

Finally, An Official Theatrical Sherlock Holmes Poster Appears

Sherlock Holmes Poster

Finally! I say that because Guy Ritchie's Sherlock Holmes hits theaters in two months and we haven't seen a real poster besides the character one-sheets released in June and the never-used one from ShoWest. I was hoping I'd be able to say they fixed the proportions of Robert Downey Jr's head on this new poster (via Cinematical), but I was wrong, as his head on this poster looks just as weird as it did before. Besides that though, I'm digging the style of this, especially with all the other "trinkets" along the sides. Although I'm not sure about that tagline either: "Holmes for the Holiday." Really? That's the best they could come up with?

Official Poster for Clint Eastwood's Invictus Finally Debuts

Invictus - Matt Damon

Can Warner Brothers repeat the success of Gran Torino twice? Yahoo has debuted the official poster for Clint Eastwood's Invictus, which stars Morgan Freeman as Nelson Mandela and Matt Damon as rugby player Francois Pienaar. We're not sure when the first trailer will hit (probably later this week), but I'm just as excited to see this poster, mainly because Invictus is the last big Oscar wildcard. Most Oscar pundits are saying that Invictus might end up the big Best Picture winner, but they're saying that without having seen a single frame of footage. This poster looks great, so at least they're off to a good start. Check it out below!

Check These Out: Character Posters for Scott Stewart's Legion

Legion Posters

I wasn't initially planning on featuring these posters today at first glance, but after noticing that they all have a snippet of a longer, biblical quote on them, I thought why the hell not? Although I'm not particularly excited for Scott Stewart's Legion, starring Paul Bettany as the Archangel Michael, I do admire all of this marketing, as this imagery is badass and would otherwise sell me if it weren't for the trailer looking pretty bad. All six of these character posters come from JoBlo. Together they say: "So it will be at the end of the age the angels will come forth to take out the wicked and throw them into the furnace of fire." Awesome.

Check This Out: Creepy Japanese Poster for The Descent 2

Descent 2 Poster

There are a handful of new posters out today (Me and Orson Welles, Edge of Darkness) but my favorite brand new one is this Japanese poster for The Descent 2. I love the designs that come out of Japan for promo materials and posters with intense close-ups and very dark colors, and this is one of those kinds of posters. I won't say it's the most original design I've ever seen, but I definitely love the look of it, especially the shot of the creature hidden in the lower right corner. I prefer that the creature is shown smaller so it doesn't give away too much or scare moviegoers. Anyway, check it out below thanks to ShockTillYouDrop!

Gorgeous UK Poster for Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Another gorgeous new UK poster for Terry Gilliam's The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus has hit the web today. I first saw this poster on SlashFilm and fell in love with it as well (just like everyone is once they see it). I love how all the little Terry Gilliam "trinkets" are popping out of every side, it's a very fitting poster for the film, and the beautiful Lily Cole sitting nude is just… wow. I'm in London this week (where it hits theaters starting next Friday) and I've seen a lot of the blue posters on buses, but none of these. This is some of the best marketing for a Terry Gilliam movie I've ever seen. And don't forget to watch the trailer!

Check These Out: All Five Character Posters for Toy Story 3

Toy Story 3 - Buzz Lightyear

As expected, Disney has released four more posters to make a total of five new characters posters for Toy Story 3 this weekend. The trailer arrives online officially on Monday - stay tuned to see it then. It's exciting to see the whole gang back again on the big screen. Although I think we're missing some key characters like Woody's horse Bullseye, Mr. Potato Head, and Slinky, his dog. Don't fear though, they are all in the trailer. I have a feeling once these start to show up in movie theaters, the buzz will really start to pick up. Though that actually makes me wonder… How many people out there don't yet know that Toy Story 3 is being made?

Yet Another Great Toy Story 3 Teaser Poster - Roar, It's Rex!

Toy Story 3

Roarrr! Disney has debuted yet another simple teaser poster for Toy Story 3 on MySpace today, this time featuring Rex. The last poster we debuted back in September just had a giant number 3, this one actually has Rex on it. Which means I'm sure we'll see one of these for every main character from the Toy Story world. If you haven't seen it, the Toy Story 1 & 2 Double Feature is still in theaters and has the full-length Toy Story 3 trailer attached in front of it. It's awesome and definitely worth seeing, especially if you're a big Pixar fan (like I am). That trailer will be hitting online in a few weeks, but in the meantime, check out the new poster.
