One of the most anticipated (and ambitious) films of the year opens this Friday by way of Lana and Andy Wachowski and Tom Tykwer’s adaptation of Cloud Atlas, and we’ve got some great Cloud Atlas-related swag to give away to a few lucky readers.  The film explores the idea that the choices an individual makes – and the consequences that may result from them – have a tangible impact through the past, the present, and in future generations, and features a fantastic ensemble cast anchored by Tom Hanks and Halle Berry.

The Cloud Atlas material we’re giving away as part of our contest includes a black leather journal with the film’s title treatment, Cloud Atlas T-shirts, a copy of David Mitchell’s novel, and a copy of the film’s soundtrack composed by Tykwer, Johnny Klimek, and Reinhold Heil.  Hit the jump to find out how you can win.  Special midnight screenings for Cloud Atlas start Thursday, October 25th.  Starts everywhere Friday, October 26th.

The third season of The Walking Dead premieres on AMC this Sunday, and in anticipation of the debut we’ve been provided with two Walking Dead-themed prize packs to give away to a couple of lucky readers.  Two winners will each win seasons one and two of The Walking Dead on Blu-ray plus a set of Walking Dead Minimates figures.  Hit the jump to find out how you can win and to check out some images of the Minimates.

We host giveaways for our faithful readers here at Collider from time to time, but this one’s a doozy.  One lucky fan will be given a deluxe boxed edition of the fully-restored Beatles classic Magical Mystery Tour Blu-ray/DVD.  This set includes both the Blu-ray and DVD, a 60-page book with background information, photographs, and documentation from the production, and a faithful reproduction of the mono double 7” vinyl EP of the film’s six new Beatles songs, originally issued in the UK to complement the film’s 1967 release.

Hit the jump for a list of special features and images of the set, and to find out how you can win.  The Magical Mystery Tour hits Blu-ray and DVD on October 9th.

Ben Affleck made a strong statement as a director with Gone Baby Gone and The Town, but his period dramatic thriller Argo may just be his best effort yet.  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 ambassador during the 1979 Iranian Revolution.  The rescue mission was to go in under the auspices of filming a science fiction movie entitled “Argo”.  Affleck balances the ridiculously intense thriller aspect of the film with some well-placed bits of humor, and the phenomenal cast gives excellent performances all around.  Seriously, this one is not to be missed.

We’ve been provided with some Argo-related swag to give away to a few lucky readers, including a brief bag, a silver picture frame, book bound journals, hats, shirts, and more.  Hit the jump to see what you can win and to find out how it can be yours.  Argo opens this Friday, October 12th.

Opening this Friday, September 21st is the baseball drama Trouble with the Curve, and we here at Collider have been provided with some film-related swag to giveaway to some lucky readers.  For those unfamiliar, the film stars Clint Eastwood as an aging Atlanta Braves scout who is starting to lose his vision.  His daughter, played by Amy Adams, reluctantly agrees to be his eyes on a crucial recruiting trip.  We’ve got some classy hats, shirts, duffel bags, jackets, and koozies related to Trouble with the Curve to set free in this contest.

Just before last weekend, Limited Paper exclusively revealed the variant edition of Alexander Iaccarino’s The Last of Us poster, which could be picked up (in extremely limited numbers) by those attending this year’s Penny Arcade Expo.  A day or two later, we announced that the good folks at Sony and Naughty Dog—makers of The Last of Us, the Uncharted series, and all-around badass mammajammas—had given Limited Paper three copies of that poster to give away to a trio of lucky Limited Paper readers.

Winning one of those posters would be no more complicated than answering a single question (“What’s the first thing you’d do after the apocalypse hits?”) via email.  Picking a winner, however, turned out to be a far more complicated affair.  Find out who won (and who almost won) that trio of extremely-rare Last of Us posters after the jump, folks.

Collider is hosting a screening of Dredd 3D on Thursday, September 13, and I am excited to announce that it will take place in my backyard, Boston.  I saw Dredd at Comic-Con, and it is audaciously violent and chock full of one-liners capably tossed off by Karl Urban (the ultimate man) as Judge Dredd.  As of this writing, Dredd sits at 100% on Rotten Tomatoes after 19 reviews (not counting Matt’s take).  So if you are an action fan in the Boston area, take notice and hit the jump to find out how to win tickets.

While we’ve gotten many crazy packages delivered to Collider’s headquarters in Los Angeles, today’s delivery of The Dictator was a wild one.  Rather than using UPS or Fed Ex to drop off our Blu-ray copy, General Aladeen (from the Republic of Wadiya) sent members of his Virgin Guard.  And they even had a goat.  Since I figured some of you might like to see the delivery, hit the jump for the video.  In addition, they provided me with a few extra copies for some of our readers.

Director Richard Linklater returned to screens earlier this year with the dark comedy Bernie, and in celebration of the film’s release on Blu-ray/DVD today, we’ve been provided with a few goodies to giveaway to some lucky fans.  Jack Black stars in this true story about an assistant funeral director of a small Texas town who woos and then murders a cantankerous, affluent widow.  We have three posters for the film, each signed by Linklater, Black, and Shirley MacLaine, that will go to three lucky readers.

ParaNorman looks to be one of the more unique movies to hit theaters this summer, and with our help, you can see it nearly two weeks before it hits theaters on August 17.  Laika’s 3D stop-motion feature is set in a small town overrun with zombies.  Only Norman, a young boy who can speak to the dead, can help: “In addition to the zombies, he’ll have to take on ghosts, witches and, worst, of all, grown-ups, to save his town from a centuries-old curse.”  ParaNorman features the voices of Kodi Smit-McPhee, Casey Affleck, Anna Kendrick, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Leslie Mann, Jeff Garlin, John Goodman, and Alex Borstein.  Hit the jump to find out how you can win tickets to the August 5 world premiere.

With Christopher Nolan‘s The Dark Knight Rises opening next week, we’ve been provided with some awesome movie related swag to giveaway to some of our readers.  While we’ve covered thousands of things on Collider, I can honestly say The Dark Knight Rises might be the biggest in terms of traffic and reader interest.  So if you’d like to win some free stuff, hit the jump for details on what we’ve got and how to enter.  We’ve got hats, t-shirts, soundtracks, a military jacket, a digital watch, and a lot more.
