Here are the Best Movie Posters and One Sheets that Have Come Across the Web This Week
It’s Friday, so here are all of the best movie posters released this past week. You can always see all the one sheets from previous weekly editions of this post type by clicking our original movie poster round-up link, or the one in the header. This ought to kick start your movie weekend just right. Thanks to IMP Awards for the hits.
Included is poster film art for those that like smaller movies, boy do we have a week for you! If you like bigger films, ummm, not as much but that’ll happen. Actually, I guess our usual eclectic mix greets you, so what can I say? We have plenty to show you in our weekly Friday edition of Movie Poster Round-Up. Lets get to it, shall we?
I’ll kick it off with two quads for Telstar and The Girl Cut In Two. Not sure if we will be seeing these stateside or not, but Kevin Spacey is in Telstar and he was the voice of Gerty in our recently reviewed Moon. Woody Allen’s Whatever Works continues to look underwhelming (but I will be seeing it on Monday so a review is forthcoming *fingers crossed it’s good*). The End of the Line, a documentary film comes next, even though we are far from the end in this round-up. We follow that with Shrink, Seraphine and a Japanese poster for Josh Hartnett’s I Come With The Rain. In his case, he comes with baggage as an actor these days, I guess.
The rom-com I Hate Valentine’s Day has a familiar cast and Homecoming is Mischa Barton’s shot at the big time. I actually recently caught a paparazzi photo of her bare breast and I was surprisingly impressed. “Does that make me some sort of *** or something? No, baby, I’m money.” Youssou Ndour: I Bring What I Love is a film on the international singer and I threw in another Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen IMAX one-sheet for good measure. I actually kind of like that throwback styled poster, which is followed by Herb & Dorothy (“Peaches” was unavailable). Finally, Jeremy Piven will get his star power tested in The Goods: Live Hard, Sell Hard. Sounds a bit like Dewey Cox, but the Redband trailer was pretty good. Thanks to IMP Awards for all the help. Enjoy!
I just saw at Target last night that old-school Ninja Turtles were being sold in what looked like their original packages due to the character’s 25th anniversary this year. Nice. However, news came out today via [Film Drunk] that a new live-action Ninja Turtles movies is due for release in 2011. Very nice. I didn’t care for the animated one that came out a couple of years ago and I think live-action is the way to go. Cowabunga!
Our preview writer, Joe, will be very conflicted with this news. Nightmare on Elm Street is getting remade. Sarcastic yea’s all around. Rooney Mara is playing the lead terrified woman and Jackie Earl Haley is playing Freddie Kruger. Jackie Earl was actually announced a bit ago, but the Mara announcement exposed us to it. I hate the idea of this being remade, but I don’t care for the original anyway. However, Haley’s involvement is awesome. [Screen Rant]
Here are some more set photos for you, shockingly not debuting from the new “Empire” issue. The subject is Nic Cage and Jay Baruchel’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. [Film Geek]
[Rama's Screen] has the news that Anna Faris will star in What’s Your Number? for director Mark Mylod. The film is based on the book “20 Times A Lady” by Karen Bosnak. It kind of sounds like a female version of Ghosts of Girlfriend’s Past. Perhaps what’s most important, though, is the script was written by Gabrielle Allan and Jennifer Crittenden. Crittenden has written for “The Simpsons,” “Seinfeld” and “Arrested Development.” Believe it or not, I knew that off the top of my head. This might actually be something.
We told you about Elizabeth Shue in Piranha 3-Dthe other week, now Richard Dreyfuss, who’s no stranger to fierce things lurking in the water, has joined the project. [Nuke the Fridge]
Remember the list of projects Guillermo del Toro was scheduled to be involved in that we wrote about a while ago? Well, Robert Rodriguez dropped his list today at [Dread Central]. It contains Machete, Nervewrackers, Sin City 2, The Jetsons and Predators. What’s Predators? Why that would be Rodriguez’ reboot of the Predator franchise. People seem to really like this news, but can the original really be improved upon? What do you think?
Want to see the new Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen trailer? It’s debuting April 29th on 20 screens all over the country in front of a one-day screening of Transformers in IMAX. [Transformers Live] has more details.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt has joined the cast of the new Christopher Nolan film, Inception. He’ll be surrounded by Leonardo DiCaprio, Ellen Page, Cillian Murphy and Marion Cotillard. Not that we needed any more reason to see it, but we got it. [Sci Fi Cool]
I promise this is the last remake news I’m posting today. James Marden is poised to play the lead in a remake of 70′s fight-for-survival flick, Straw Dogs. I can tell this is going to be a watered-down version just with this announcement. [In Case You Didn't Know]
Lastly, do you want to see the first seven minutes of The Brothers Bloom? Hulu has posted it up. We’ve seen the whole film and reviewed it back in October. Click the film’s title to see the review. Here’s the first seven minutes:
