The other day I ran the latest poster for Fast & Furious 5 and admitted I was a bit surprised that they didn’t find a way to work in Dwayne Johnson. Looks like I spoke too soon as you can see from this giinourmous poster at IMPAwards.
I like this poster for Fast & Furious 5 and am a bit surprised that they didn’t find a way to work in Dwayne Johnson. It makes me think that maybe the folks behind the movie know that The Rock is an added bonus and the focus is still on Vin Diesel and Paul Walker. Then again, maybe they’re planning to do a cool Dwayne Johnson character poster later.
If you’d like to see a huge version of this poster you can right here at IMPAwards. Oh, and if you’d like you can see the new Fast 5 trailer right here.
Conan: The Movie Blog recently posted some previously unseen shots from the new Conan film. Like a lot of folks, I’ve been watching the filming reports wondering how the new Conan will compare to the classic Arnold Schwarzenegger/John Mlius “Conan: The Barbarian.” My guess was it wouldn’t be as good as the original, but probably better than Schwarzenegger’s second outing as “Conan: The Destroyer.” The new photos raise my expectations a bit…
Vin Diesel has posted a short video on his Facebook page where he and writer/director David Twohy discuss the direction they’re taking with the new Riddick movie. The great news is that the new film will be closer in tone and attitude to “Pitch Black” than “The Chronicles of Riddick” and it’s on the fast track to getting made. [Via AICN]
Sean Gordon Murphy is one of those artists who just seems to come out of nowhere with his own distinctive style that you can’t help but love. I met Sean at last year’s Heroes Con. His sketch list was full, but he said he started a new list each day and I should check back the next day. I made sure I was first in line and ended up with this classic piece of Rocky and Butkus.
You can see more of Sean’s art at his site. Sean is going to be at Heroes again this year and I’m hoping that lighting strikes twice.
This is a pretty cool poster. I wish Conan was closer and looking straight at us with a “you’re next” look on his mug.
I’ve always liked Captain America. He’s an iconic super hero. Of course a hero is only as good as the villain that he goes up against. From the looks of things, Cap is going to be able to give The Dark Knight a run for his money. I really dig the look of The Red Skull in the photo above.
I’m starting to have high expectations for the Captain America movie… especially after reading this interview in Entertainment Weekly with director Joe Johnston, because he gets Cap.
Brian Stelfreeze. Barney Ross from The Expendables. What else needs to be said? Simply enjoy the genius of Brian Stelfreeze.
Ok. For those new to the show, Brian Stelfreeze is one of the most amazing artists working today. He can do it all… pencil, ink, color, design. I have never seen a bad piece by Brian. Yet, he is one of the most humble, approachable and appreciative artists you’ll ever meet. This is my second piece by Mr. Stelfreeze. [You can see my first here. Both are “cornerstones” of my collection.] I hope it is not my last.
The Thing poster above was created by Fernando Fro Reza as part of an on-going twice a month re-imagining of movie posters at CHUD.com. You can read more about the poster, the artist, how to get a limited edition Thing print [there are two different ones] and more about the re-imagined posters here.
I don’t know anything about “Cat Run” other than I dig the 60’s movie poster vibe it’s putting off. Even the official “Cat Run” movie site doesn’t give us any additional clues yet. If you’d like to see a big-cat-sized version of the poster you can here at IMPAwards.com.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, The Secret Life of Houdini, The Making of America’s First Superhero by William Kalush and Larry Sloman is being developed as an…
…action thriller featuring a character who is part Indiana Jones and part Sherlock Holmes, documenting his rise as a magician along with his covert involvement with the Secret Service.
Slashfilm.com scored seven new photos from “Captain America.” I really hope that the movie lives up to it’s potential.
There’s a good chance that you’ve already seen the trailer to Dead Island. The trailer went viral because it’s so good. It is also pretty gory and very violent. I’ve watched it several times and although it’s a trailer for a game, it’s as good as any recent movie trailer. And wouldn’t you know it? According to JoBlo, Dead Island may soon be on the fast track to the silver screen.
“Sly Stallone‘s still the man for international buyers. IM Global’s $40 million-budgeted Sylvester Stallone action project Headshot attracted heat here at the European Film Market with German giant Constantin taking the hit for local territory rights in a major pre-sale deal.” – that’s a quote from The Hollywood Reporter and you can read the full piece here.
