Two More Banners for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 25th, 2012 at 9:50 am

In our slow but inevitable transformation into a site that only runs The Dark Knight Rises news, we have two more banners for the film in addition to the four we ran yesterday.  And to think I would miss the overload of The Avengers marketing.  More than anything, I’m just confused: where’s our onslaught of The Amazing Spider-Man advertising?  The film comes out two weeks before TDKR, and yet we have gotten zero banners.  They may as well stick it in arthouses.

Hit the jump to check out the new banners for The Dark Knight Rises.  The film opens July 20th.

Trailer and Poster for THE WOMAN IN THE FIFTH Starring Ethan Hawke and Kristin Scott Thomas

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 25th, 2012 at 7:12 am

ATO Pictures have released the trailer and poster for the thriller The Woman in the Fifth.  The movie stars Ethan Hawke as a struggling writer who moves to Paris so he can be closer to his young daughter, but then strikes up an romantic entanglement with a mysterious femme fatale (Kristin Scott Thomas).  I’m not exactly sure what to make the of the film since the trailer doesn’t do a good job of lining up with the interesting plot synopsis, but it does do a good job of showing off some of writer-director Pawel Pawlikowski‘s cool visuals.  I never heard much buzz—positive or negative—on the movie at last year’s Toronto Film Festival, so maybe it’s just flown under the radar, and hopefully The Woman in the Fifth will live up to its premise.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster.  The Woman in the Fifth opens June 15th.

First Trailer for THE APPARITION [Updated with Poster]

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 23rd, 2012 at 2:44 pm

The first trailer for the horror film The Apparition has arrived.  The trailer begins by explaining that ghosts only exist because we believe in them, then shows a group of scientists who test said theory by trying to conjure a ghost themselves.  They apparently succeed, but I’m confused as to how the film is supposed to be scary when we’re told up front that everything is a product of the characters’ imagination.  The trailer shows a physical presence disturbing the characters, but this seems to be a misapplication of the “science” that the film is supposedly using to ground the film in reality.  The pic mixes traditional narrative with found footage (oh boy!), and I really can’t say this trailer did anything for me.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer.  The film stars Ashley Greene, Sebastian Stan, and Tom Felton.  The Apparition opens on August 24th. [Update: We've added the film's poster after the jump as well]

First Trailer for THE GREAT GATSBY Starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, and Carey Mulligan [UPDATED with Poster]

by Dave Trumbore    Posted: May 22nd, 2012 at 4:41 pm

The first trailer for director Baz Luhrmann‘s The Great Gatsby has gone online.  While I’m not the biggest fan of the source material, I do happen to be a fan of Luhrmann’s.  Having this phenomenal cast lined up for the production doesn’t hurt either and this new trailer gives us a glimpse at each of them in turn.  There are no 3D effects on display as of yet, but the first trailer highlights all of the bravura, hyperbole and flair we’ve come to expect from the Moulin Rouge! director.  While I was a little put off by the choice of music for the trailer, I’ve got faith that the soundtrack will be exemplary as always.

Hit the jump to watch the trailer.  The film stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Jason Clarke and Isla Fisher.  The Great Gatsby opens in 3D on December 25th. [Update: We've now added the teaser poster, which you can find after the jump.]

New Poster for THE DARK KNIGHT RISES Warns of a Rising Fire

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 21st, 2012 at 2:52 pm

A new poster for The Dark Knight Rises has gone online, and it’s considerably more colorful than the previous posters we’ve seen for the concluding chapter in Christopher Nolan’s Batman series.  Granted, the color comes from the fire of a burning and collapsing building, but it’s at least different enough from the black and white/greyscale of the previous one-sheets.  I’m assuming this is the final poster for the film, but I could very well be wrong.  I’m a bit more partial to the Batman/Bane standoff poster, but this “fire” poster isn’t terrible.

Hit the jump to check out the poster.  The film stars Christian Bale, Tom Hardy, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Marion Cotillard, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt.  The Dark Knight Rises opens on July 20th.

First Teaser Poster for KILLING THEM SOFTLY, Starring Brad Pitt

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 21st, 2012 at 12:16 pm

Earlier today we got our first look at director Paul Thomas Anderson’s highly anticipated new film The Master.  The Weinstein Company showed off the first footage from the drama at the Cannes Film Festival today, where they’re also set to debut another incredibly promising property that’s set for release later this year: Killing Them Softly.  The film marks director Andrew Dominik’s follow up to his phenomenal 2007 film The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and stars Brad Pitt as a mob enforcer who’s tasked with investigating the robbery of a high-stakes poker game.

The first clip for Killing Them Softly debuted earlier this month, but a stylish new teaser poster has just gone online.  It’s minimalist yet enticing, and I love the juxtaposition of the American flag with the pistol aimed right at the onlooker’s face.  Hit the jump to check the poster out in all its glory.  Killing Them Softly hits theaters on September 21st.

First Teaser Poster for SKYFALL

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 17th, 2012 at 9:26 am

The first teaser poster for the new James Bond film Skyfall has gone online.  It’s not really much, but I guess the word “teaser” should have clued us in on that front.  It plays on the classic Bond imagery while hinting at a bit of a darker tone, and that may or may not be the London Underground.  I’m eager to see what Sam Mendes will do with the Bond universe, and he’s off to a great start as he’s assembled an incredible cast anchored by Javier Bardem as the villain.  This is just a teaser for what’s to come, and we should have a much better idea of what to expect once the teaser trailer debuts on Monday, May 21st at 8:30am BST.

Hit the jump to check out the poster.  And if you missed any of Steve’s set visit coverage, including a video blog recap and interviews with director Sam Mendes, Daniel Craig, producer Barbara Broccoli, Berenice Marlohe, and Naomie Harris and Ola Rapace, be sure to check it out.  Skyfall opens on November 9th.

New Images and First Poster from Brian De Palma’s PASSION, Starring Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace

by Adam Chitwood    Posted: May 15th, 2012 at 9:11 am

We shared the first image from director Brian De Palma’s erotic thriller Passion last week, and it was obvious from the “Rachel McAdams and Noomi Rapace kiss” photo that De Palma had something decidedly different up his sleeve.  Now a few new images and the first poster from the film have gone online, and the “erotic thriller” moniker definitely seems appropriate.  The story centers on the relationship between a woman and her “innocent, lovely and easily exploited” protégé.  It also apparently involves McAdams wearing a creepy as hell mask and wielding a knife.

Hit the jump to check out the images.  Passion will be shopped at the Cannes Film Festival, which kicks off this week.

New Trailer and Poster for THE GOOD DOCTOR Starring Orlando Bloom

by Brendan Bettinger    Posted: May 14th, 2012 at 6:55 pm

Orlando Bloom is a charming guy, but I’ve always believed his on-screen persona suffered because his talent is always chasing his unbelievable beauty.  The Good Doctor may have found a way around that problem.  First, director Lance Daly gave him a flat haircut, downgrading his looks from A to A-.  Second, the lead character, “an ambitious but anxious young doctor, eager to impress his superiors and colleagues,” is reserved and buttoned down.  So any perceived woodenness may well be in service of the performance.  The Good Doctor spent the last few months touring the festival circuit, receiving mostly good reviews and positive notices for Bloom’s performance.  A new trailer paints a vivid picture of the thriller, including some heavy lifting on Bloom’s part once “things take a dark turn as his enthusiasm begins to become an obsession.”  If Bloom pulls that off, I’m eager to check it out.

Riley Keough, Rob Morrow, Taraji P. Henson, and Michael Peña also star.  The Good Doctor opens on August 31.  Watch the trailer after the jump.

First Trailer and Poster for THE CAMPAIGN Starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 11th, 2012 at 7:08 am

Earlier this week, we showed you a couple of fake campaign ads for Jay Roach‘s comedy The Campaign starring Will Ferrell and Zach Galifianakis.  Today, Warner Bros. has released the first trailer and poster.  The film centers on an incumbent candidate (Ferrell) who doesn’t expect to be opposed in his run for a fifth-term, but he finds an unexpected challenger in the unassuming and dim-witted Marty Huggins (Galifianakis).  I was hoping that the trailer would deliver more laughs than the campaign ads, but no dice.  Yes, there’s some baby-punching at the end, but overall this looks like another weak comic effort from Roach.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer.  The film also stars The film also stars Jason Sudeikis, Dylan McDermott, Brian Cox, John Lithgow, and Dan Aykroyd.  The Campaign opens August 10th.

New Poster for Judd Apatow’s THIS IS 40, Starring Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann

by Matt Currie    Posted: May 8th, 2012 at 2:18 pm

On the heels of the film’s first trailer being released, a new poster has popped up for This Is 40, writer-director Judd Apatow’s “sort-of sequel to Knocked Up.” After supporting roles in the first film, Paul Rudd and Leslie Mann step into the spotlight this time around as Apatow explores the comically embattled couple’s aging relationship, and their attempts to escape the domestic hell illustrated on this poster. It features Mann looking on in exhausted disgust as an oblivious Rudd sits on the toilet not ten feet away, snuffing out any shred of mystique that was left in their relationship. A well-constructed visual gag that cannily expresses the film’s relatable premise.

Hit the jump to check it out. This Is 40 also stars Albert Brooks, Megan Fox, Chris O’Dowd, Lena Dunham, Ryan Lee, Charlene Yi, and Wyatt Russell, with appearances by Jason Segel (reprising his role from Knocked Up) and Melissa McCarthy. It opens on December 21.  [Update: We've been informed that the poster was not approved for release and have been asked by the studio to take it down.  We'll have the official poster up once it's released]

First Trailer and Poster for Ben Affleck’s ARGO Starring Bryan Cranston, John Goodman and Kyle Chandler

by Matt Goldberg    Posted: May 8th, 2012 at 7:32 am

The first trailer and poster for Ben Affleck‘s Argo has gone online.  The film, based on a true story, centers on a CIA agent (Affleck) who attempts to rescue six Americans trapped in the home of the Canadian embassador during the 1979 Iranian Revolution.  The rescue mission was to go in under the auspices of filming a science fiction movie entitled “Argo”.  The trailer makes the movie look like Ocean’s Eleven combined with a tense historical thriller.  I really like what I’m seeing from the trailer, and there’s a good chance Affleck could 3-for-3 in his successful directing career.

Hit the jump to check out the trailer and poster.  The film also stars Bryan Cranston, John Goodman, Kyle Chandler, Kerry Bishe, and Alan Arkin.  Argo opens October 12th.
