New posters have gone online for Steven Spielberg’s War Horse and Lars Von Trier’s Melancholia. War Horse continues to be a tough sell mainly because the lead character is a horse and the horse doesn’t talk. You can put Mr. Ed in your World War I drama, Mr. Spielberg, but a non-talking horse? How will that play in Peoria? At least the poster is pretty-looking.
As for Melancholia, it’s a collection of character posters plus one interesting addition. Von Trier gets his own poster. It’s the first time I’ve seen a director who wasn’t also an actor in the movie get his or her own character poster. Of course, Von Trier is a bit of a character and his poster even bears a fake seal proclaiming “Official Persona non Grata – Cannes 2011″. Hit the jump to check out the posters. War Horse opens December 28th. Melancholia hits OnDemand on October 7th and opens in theaters on November 11th.

Here’s the official synopsis for War Horse:
DreamWorks Pictures’ “War Horse,” director Steven Spielberg’s epic adventure, is a tale of loyalty, hope and tenacity set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War. “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets–British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter–before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse–an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war– a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.
And here’s the official synopsis for Melancholia:
In this beautiful movie about the end of the world, Justine (Kirsten Dunst) and Michael (Alexander Skarsgård) are celebrating their marriage at a sumptuous party in the home of her sister Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg), and brother-in-law John (Kiefer Sutherland). Despite Claire’s best efforts, the wedding is a fiasco, with family tensions mounting and relationships fraying. Meanwhile, a planet called Melancholia is heading directly towards Earth… MELANCHOLIA is a psychological disaster film from director Lars von Trier.

You know there’s something wrong with your marketing campaign when you put the director on the poster… just saying…
… The “War Horse” one is pretty, but there’s something off with the lighting.
Anti-semitism is becoming more fashionable now, so can’t waste the publicity.
Alex – you are just showing everyone how ignorant and mindless you are. It’s embarrassing. There is real evil and hatred out there which you should put your energy toward instead.
Great posters though.
Empire magazine is reporting that the full trailer for War Horse is out next week. Yay!!
