Although I’m still holding on to hope that the remake of George Romero’s “The Crazies” will be worthy, I’m not too crazy about the poster above. If you want to see an insanely large version then click on over to IMPAwards.com.
If you’re diggin’ this Daybreakers poster as much as I am, then you’ll want to check out this huge version posted at IMPAwards.com.
I discovered Andy Kuhn’s art through his blog. This led me to his DA site. Andy has a unique style which I totally enjoy. I was lucky enough to meet and get the sketch above from Andy earlier this year. Although it was our first meeting and my first sketch from Andy, hopefully it won’t be my last!
Although my expectations have dropped a bit for The Book of Eli it is still a movie that I want to see when it comes out next month. IMPAwards.com has three new character posters for “The Book of Eli” that you can see by clicking here, here and yes, even here.
Although I never saw the original “Tron” this poster does what a good poster should – it makes me think that maybe I’d want to see the movie it is advertising – “Tron Legacy”. If you’d like to see a Disney World-sized version, click here to see what hereIMPAwards.com has to offer!
Dick Giordano, the comics legend is back! During his fifty plus years in the biz he’s done everything from ink all the greats (including himself) to serve as Editor-in-Chief of DC Comics, to co-founding his own comic company.
I recently had the good fortune to pick up six model sheet headsketches of Sly that Mr. Giodano did before starting work on DC Comics adaptation of “Demolition Man”. This is the fifth.
I like this poster. It’s just a simple close-up of a helmetless Iron Man, but it works. Don’t ‘cha agree?
Thanks to IMPAwards.com for the link.
If you’ve got 34 seconds to spare today you should check out this very retro, very cool teaser trailer to “Buck Rogers in the 25th Century”. No, there’s no movie in the works yet, but the folks behind this trailer would like to do a serialized version for the web. From what I’ve seen, it wouldn’t be a bad idea for whoever holds the rights to Buck Rogers to let ’em!
Thanks to AICN for the link.
The Hollywood Reporter posted today that work is underway on an animated 3D CGI re-imagining of George Romero’s classic Night of the Living Dead.
Although the storyline will follow a small band of people trying to stay alive, the director, Zebediah de Soto says that this one not have the survivors taking refuge in an enclosed environment like a house or a mall. Instead this will be the first zombie movie played on a epic scale.
Sounds cool. I’ll post updates here as I get ’em.
John Beatty, who’s no stranger to long-time Zoners, created this amazing drawing of Sly from “The Expendables” on Friday while I was hanging out in his studio. John’s been my best friend since junior high and gifted me with this piece since I’ve been serving as his co-host for some of his live UStream sketch sessions.
Although I have quite a few pieces in my collection, and it’s impossible to pick a single favorite, this piece by John is going to be tough for anyone to top. Thanks again to John for going above and beyond the call.
When I was a kid, the wolfman was always my favorite movie monster. While this poster is a step in the right direction, I still don’t hold high hopes for the new Wolfman movie coming out next month. I hope I’m wrong, especially with that cast, but I have a feeling that The Wolfman is going to be a howler.
While I’m still really looking forward to “The Book of Eli”, I have to admit that some of the anticipation has worn off. I read a couple of spoilers and if “the book” is what it is purported to be and the events take place just a few decades from now… well, it’s going to be tough to get over that plot conceit. Still, I’m hoping for a fun couple of hours.
My wife read the novel The Lovely Bones a few years ago [long before I ever heard that there would be a movie]. She kept telling me how much she loved the book as she was reading it. [I haven’t read it myself, but might some day…] Of course she wants to see the Peter Jackson adaptation and from all accounts it looks to be a winner.
Maybe I will have to read that book.
I really hope that the movie adaptation of The Road lives up to Cormac McCarthy’s novel. If it even comes close we’re in for a great time. I like the poster and hope that the praise on it is warranted. If you’d like to see a map-sized version of the poster from IMPAwards.com, then click here.
