AMERICAN HORROR STORY Season Two Poster

by Ethan Anderton    Posted: February 9th, 2012 at 12:30 pm

Considering most of the ad campaign for the first season of American Horror Story highlighted some of the more strange aspects of the series like the Rubber Man and various S&M related imagery, it wouldn’t be a surprise if the marketing for the new season took a strange approach as well. We’ll have to wait quite awhile to find out as the second season doesn’t even start airing until the spooky month of October. However, what might keep you busy until then is trying to find some old school 3D glasses that just might help see this poster a little better. I can’t be sure since I don’t have a pair myself, but there does seem to be some photo trickery. See for yourself after the jump!

Promo Poster for Robert Rodriguez’ MACHETE KILLS Starring Danny Trejo

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 9th, 2012 at 8:44 am

A promo poster for Robert Rodriguez‘ Machete sequel, Machete Kills, has popped up online.  Unfortunately, Machete was a massive disappointment and I’m wary of a sequel, which is part two in a planned trilogy; the finale will be Machete Kills Again.  Machete misunderstood what a gritty B-movie was supposed to be, gussied it up with movie stars, used a bloated storyline to accommodate all of them, and its biggest crime was making Machete (Danny Trejo) a supporting character in his own movie.  Hopefully, Machete Kills will be leaner and trust Trejo to carry the flick.  The plot has Machete tasked to “take down a madman cartel leader and an eccentric billionaire arms dealer who has hatched a plan to spread war across the planet with a weapon in space.”  So…space weapons and global war…that’s leaner, right?

Exclusive: Whit Stillman’s DAMSELS IN DISTRESS Poster Starring Greta Gerwig

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 8th, 2012 at 10:26 am

Today, we’re proud to premiere the poster for Whit Stillman‘s Damsels in Distress.  The film centers on a group of women in college whose friendship is strained when they become romantically entangled with a series of men.  Damsels is Stillman’s first film since 1998′s The Last Days of Disco, and I’m bummed that a last-minute schedule change at the Toronto International Film Festival caused me to miss it.  Thankfully, Steve said it was great and the film is set to hit theaters this spring where I’ll be sure to catch it.

Hit the jump to check out the poster and here’s Steve’s exclusive interview with Stillman on the film.  The film stars Greta Gerwig, Megalyn Echikunwoke, Carrie MacLemore, Analeigh Tipton, Hugo Becker, Ryan Metcalf, Billy Magnussen, and Adam Brody.  Damsels in Distress opens in limited release on April 6th.

New Posters for WRATH OF THE TITANS

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: February 7th, 2012 at 11:43 am

Warner Bros. has released two posters and three banners for Wrath of the Titans.  There’s no kraken this time around so none of the characters are going to say, “Let’s get kraken.”  I know the plot involves the titans getting unleashed and Zeus (Liam Neeson) asking Perseus (Sam Worthington) for some help, but I don’t get the point without kraken puns.  Kraken puns make the world go round.

Hit the jump to check out the posters.  The film also stars Ralph Fiennes, Danny Huston, Edgar Ramirez, Bill Nighy, Toby Kebbell, and Rosamund Pike.  Wrath of the Titans opens in 3D on March 30th.

New Promo Character Posters and Image of Loki from THE AVENGERS

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: February 3rd, 2012 at 12:54 pm

We’re about to get a brand new look at Joss Whedon’s The Avengers this Sunday during the Super Bowl (watch a teaser for the spot here), but today a couple of promotional banners hit the web. They’re reminiscent of the numerous character banners we’ve seen previously, but we get another look at the elusive Hulk. As the fllm’s release date looms closer, we should be seeing more and more of the Mark Ruffalo-infused green alter ego as the visual effects work progresses. The banners also give us a small look at Cobie Smulders’ Agent Maria Hill. In addition, a new image of Tom Hiddleston looking fairly maniacal as Loki has hit the web, so that’s included after the jump as well.

Hit the jump to check out the banners. The film also stars Robert Downey Jr., Chris Hemsworth, Chris Evans, Samuel L. Jackson, Scarlett Johansson, and Jeremy Renner. The Avengers opens in IMAX 3D on May 4th.

New Posters for JOHN CARTER, 21 JUMP STREET and MIRROR MIRROR

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: February 2nd, 2012 at 8:27 pm

Seeing as it’s already February and that little furry rodent has predicted six more weeks of winter, we thought we’d take a look ahead to some March movie releases. Coincidentally, three big March movies have recently released new posters. First up is Disney’s March 9^th release, John Carter, starring Taylor Kitsch as a Civil War vet transplanted onto Mars, in an Andrew Stanton-directed picture. Next is the Phil Lord and Chris Miller-directed 21 Jump Street, a March 16^th release starring Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum as two screw-up cops who infiltrate a local high school drug ring. Finally, we have a new poster from the Tarsem Singh project, Mirror Mirror, a Snow White adaptation featuring Lily Collins and Julia Roberts which opens March 30^th.

Oscar-Nominated THE ARTIST Star Jean Dujardin is Too Sexy for France

by Talia Soghomonian    Posted: February 2nd, 2012 at 5:08 pm

Sometimes controversy is the best publicity. And almost three weeks before its theatrical release in France, Jean Dujardin’s new movie is already garnering a lot of press. Posters for the comedy Les Infidèles (The Players) have been deemed too provocative by the Autorité de Régulation Professionnelle de la Publicité (an organization in charge of regulating publicity) who has advised Mars Distribution to remove them “as a preventative measure” after it received several complaints from unhappy citizens and outraged feminists. Four to be precise, but enough to have the offending images taken down.

The two posters feature Jean Dujardin and co-star Gilles Lellouche in explicit positions committing adultery while lying to their wives about their whereabouts. Lellouche is telling his significant other, “Honey, I’m going to get cut off, I’m going inside a tunnel,’ as a woman is…  Oh, just hit the jump to check them out and find out more.

Pregnant Character Posters for WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN YOU’RE EXPECTING

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: January 25th, 2012 at 9:19 pm

Lionsgate has released five new character posters for What to Expect When You’re Expecting, the ensemble comedy about “five couples whose intertwined lives are turned upside down by the challenges of impending parenthood.”  It’s a great way to see pregnant versions of Jennifer Lopez, Elizabeth Banks, Cameron Diaz, Brooklyn Decker, and Anna Kendrick next to sassy taglines like, “If I knew I’d have a rack like this, I would’ve gotten knocked up years ago.”  I kid, but I think there’s a chance this could be good.  Chace Crawford, Matthew Morrison, Dennis Quaid, Chris Rock, Rodrigo Santoro, Ben Falcone, Joe Manganiello, and Rob Huebel also star. What to Expect When You’re Expecting opens on May 12, 2011.  The posters are after the break.

THE WOMAN IN BLACK New Featurettes, Clips and Poster

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: January 25th, 2012 at 4:51 pm

For Daniel Radcliffe’s first major role since Harry Potter, he chose to star in The Woman in Black, a gothic horror tale based off of a 1983 novel by Susan Hill. Horror movies have been lucrative as of late (Insidious, Paranormal Activity 3, The Devil Inside) and legendary studio Hammer Film Productions is delving back into the sort of film that made them popular in the UK. On this side of the pond, however, Radcliffe’s name is sure to stir up more interest than the revival of an old horror studio. With that in mind, domestic distributor CBS Films has released a collection of behind-the-scenes featurettes and clips for The Woman in Black in an effort to showcase Radcliffe’s maturity as an actor. Directed by James Watkins (Eden Lake), The Woman in Black stars Radcliffe, Janet McTeer (Tideland) and Ciaran Hinds (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy) and opens February 3rd. Hit the jump to check out the featurettes, clips and a new poster.

Sundance 2012: FOR A GOOD TIME, CALL… Review

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: January 25th, 2012 at 3:59 pm

Eventually, society will accept that people saying dirty words won’t be the downfall of Western civilization.  Over the past few decades, words that weren’t permissible on television have become commonplace.  I believe within ten years, “fuck” will be used as casually as “ass” or “damn” on network sitcoms.  In this way, For a Good Time, Call… is a trailblazer in using a sitcom-y premise and filling it up with filthy language.  All of the clichés are still in place, the humor is inoffensive (unless you’re one of the vulgarity-western-downfall people), and the film provides a nice little distraction.
