Two More 'Amazing Spider-Man' Posters Continue to Be Impressive

Yesterday, the four-minute "super preview" for The Amazing Spider-Man showed an impressive action sequence that had the perfect tone and style for the character, and yet still managed to distinguish itself from Sam Raimi's film adaptation. Every bit of footage has been quite impressive, and the posters promoting the film (we've already seen some stellar one sheets) just continue to look sleek and stylish. Now we have two more with the same style as the others, but one poster uses the POV, video game-esque shots that were prominent in the first trailer (and even in the most recent trailer) and the other just looks good.

First Look at Cannes Film Festival Marketing Banners Around Town

By Alex Billington

Upon arriving in Cannes, one of my first missions is to walk the Boulevard de la Croisette, the main street in Cannes where the fest takes place. Given this film festival is really about cinema above and beyond just the official selection, Hollywood (and smaller production companies) bring some of their bigger movies to the streets to advertise to the masses who flock here for the two weeks. This year is particular barren for marketing material, but there is a banner for Tarantino's Django Unchained and even Brian De Palma's Passion, plus some other good marketing we found along the way. Here are a few of the photos I've taken.

Two Promo Posters Appear for 'Machete Kills' and 'Sin City' Sequel

By Ethan Anderton

Director Robert Rodriguez has not just one, but two sequels, currently making their way towards production. Machete Kills brings back Danny Trejo as the most kick-ass Mexican we've ever seen, and after seven years of waiting, Sin City: A Dame to Kill For is finally making waves to follow-up the stylistic 2005 graphic novel adaptation with an all-star cast. Now it sounds like there's some advance promotion kicking off for the films, likely because of Cannes kicking off this week, as two early teaser posters have surfaced online. There's not any stunning imagery, but it's a good tease for each sequel. Look!

Robert Pattinson Eyes Iraq's Deadliest in 'Mission: Blacklist' Poster

By Ethan Anderton

Just recently we learned that Robert Pattinson was gearing up for a stint in Iraq. The actor isn't stepping away from acting to join the military (don't worry, ladies), but he will be taking post in Mission: Blacklist, a military thriller based on a book by military interrogator Eric Maddox with Davin Seay which chronicles the inside story of the search for Saddam Hussein from the point of view of Maddox himself who spearheaded his capture. Pattinson is playing Maddox himself, and since the film still needs to be sold at Cannes, a promo poster with Pattinson's dreamy eyes and a list of Iraq's most wanted has just surfaced.

'Amazing Spider-Man' Gets a Trio of International Character Posters

By Ethan Anderton

So far the posters for The Amazing Spider-Man have been pretty damn spectacular, and I think I'm going to end up buying each and every one we've featured so far for my wall. Now the hype machine is gearing up overseas too as a small batch of international character posters have surfaces, finally putting emphasis on the cast itself rather than just the iconic image of Spider-Man. Andrew Garfield has the mask removed as Peter Parker, Emma Stone gets her own posters as Gwen Stacy and Rhys Ifans gets a creepy poster with his Lizard scales starting to show. After that last trailer, I can't wait to see this flick.

Mondo Unveils Tom Whalen's Beautiful Poster for Pixar's 'Toy Story'

By Ethan Anderton

There was an awesome run of a small batch of great posters from various artists through Mondo leading up to the release of The Avengers, and the collectible arthouse loves to release special posters in conjunction with certain films hitting theaters. However, sometimes it's their artwork that reaches back decades for new posters that truly impresses and that seems to be the case with Tom Whalen's new poster for Toy Story, a truly stunning piece of work that pays tribute to the toys of Andy's room from the first feature length computer animated film that hit theaters all the way back in 1995 (I know, I can't believe it either). Look!

Check Out Two Better International Posters for 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation'

By Ethan Anderton

Yesterday we featured a pretty disappointing final theatrical poster for G.I. Joe: Retaliation, and it was nothing short of a Photoshop mess. But today, two new international posters have surfaced that have a much sleeker design and much less obvious glossy touch-ups (though Bruce Willis still looks weird). Honestly, Paramount should just take one of these posters and slap the English title on it and send that out across the United States instead. Not only do they look better (mostly because of less dead white space), but they both fit with the original design from the poster for Rise of Cobra from three years ago. Look below!

Check These Out: Some Cool Minimalist Superhero Character Posters

By Ethan Anderton

Minimalist Superhero Posters - Wolverine

After The Avengers stormed the box office last weekend, it's pretty clear that superheroes still rule the box office, at least when they're done right (thank you, Joss Whedon). Outside of the theater, the same can be said with all the merchandising of toys, shoes, food tie-ins, and various other projects that feature the faces of the wide variety of heroes hitting the big screen nowadays. And while some of that stuff is pretty cool, I like seeing the kind of artwork that fans come up with to commemorate their favorite heroes. At Society6, artist theLinC has a batch of sixteen minimalist superhero prints that would look good on any wall.

The Poster for 'This is 40' Embraces Being a 'Knocked Up' Spin-Off

By Ethan Anderton

Sometimes certain films don't really need a poster to help with promotion and it's just merely an obligation. That's usually the case with Judd Apatow comedies. The poster is just an extra way to get people aware of the film when it's really the cast and the trailer that will get butts in the theaters. But alas, we still have a one sheet for This is 40, the new coming-of-older-age comedy hitting this Christmas. We already got the first trailer featuring Leslie Mann and Paul Rudd reprising their characters from Knocked Up (Jason Segel showed up too), and now this poster embraces being a "sort-of sequel" to the 2007 comedy hit. Look!

Final Poster for 'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' is a Big Sloppy Photoshop Mess

By Ethan Anderton

Since there wasn't anything all that special about the character posters we highlighted a little while back promoting G.I. Joe: Retaliation, not much should've been expected from the rest of the poster campaign for the summer blockbuster. However, we thought a little more effort might be put into making one final theatrical poster rather than slapping images from a few of the aforementioned character banners and sloppily pasting them into Photoshop in a fashion that tries to emulate Drew Struzan's illustrated poster design. It is certainly not one of the better posters I've seen recently, but you can still check it out below.

Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis in Political Ads for 'The Campaign'

By Ethan Anderton

We got our first look at political rivals Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis in a new comedy from Game Change and Meet the Parents director Jay Roach, and now the advertising campaign for The Campaign is kicking off via Facebook. If you head over to the official page, you'll see the two lead men in character as Marty Huggins and Cam Brady, looking for your votes, introducing themselves in character for the film. Galifianakis' mustache in the first look photos had me hoping that his Seth Galifianakis persona would come through, and fans of that comedy bit won't be disappointed while Ferrell seems to be doing his best Al Gore.

Check This Out: Ten Summer Blockbusters Get Indie Movie Posters

By Ethan Anderton

The summer really kicks off this weekend as The Avengers assemble, but for months we've been inundated with plenty of posters, trailers and more for films like The Amazing Spider-Man, Prometheus, Men in Black 3 and The Dark Knight Rises (watch the stunning new trailer right here). But for those who are sick of the slick blockbuster promotions, perhaps it's time for a new approach to these films that will hit the big screen during Hollywood's busiest season of the year. Next Movie has taken ten of this summer's most anticipated blockbusters and gives each of them their own indie movie poster. Look!

Amanda Seyfried is Quite the 70's Bombshell on Poster for 'Lovelace'

By Ethan Anderton

We've alrady gotten a first look at Amanda Seyfried as the infamous porn star Linda Lovelace in the aptly titled biopic Lovelace, and even caught a glimpse at a revamped poster for her most famous adult film Deep Throat with Seyfried looking rather seductive. Now a brand new official poster for the film has surfaced, and looks straight from the cover of some sort of non-existent magazine from the 70's with an impressive cast list. For those just joining us the film follows Linda Lovelace, who is used and abused by the porn industry at the behest of her coercive husband (Peter Sarsgaard), before taking control of her life.

'The Amazing Spider-Man' Swings and Breaks Glass in a New Poster

By Ethan Anderton

Each and every poster released recently for The Amazing Spider-Man has me wanting to throw Spidey (Andrew Garfield) right up on my wall where he belongs. From the two slick posters that surfaced a couple weeks ago to the battle damaged poster that just showed up yesterday, the print marketing for this franchise reboot is pretty bad-ass. Now we have another poster with the same motif, but this time Spidey is swinging high above New York City, presumably into the window of some sort of high skyscraper and glass breaks around him. I feel like this is the poster that promotes the 3D part of the release as well. Look below!
