Have you had a chance to check out Precious?
In celebration of the recent successof the movie Lionsgate wants to share a brand new poster from Precious! This poster is more realistic compared to the other one, which was abstract. This one promotes positive feedback from critics and the like.
The film is expanding to 600+ theaters starting tomorrow. Here is the website that includes a full list of theaters and cities: www.preciousinmycity.com.
Jeff Bridges plays Bad Blake as a broken-down, hard-living country music singer. He’s been married way too many times, had far too many years on the road and one too many drinks, too many times. Still, Bad reaches out for salvation with the guidance and support of Jean, a journalist who brings to light the real man behind the musician.
There is a lot of Oscar talk for Bridges, which is justly deserved.
Crazy Heart is written and directed by actor and filmmaker Scott Cooper, making his directorial debut with this film. Fox Searchlight is releasing Crazy Heart to limited theaters starting on December 11, 2009.
Harrison Ford, Brendan Fraser and Keri Russell star in Extraordinary Measures for CBS Films. The poster shows Ford and Fraser in action, which is probably what it took for Fraser’s character John Crowley to make this happen — action speaks louder than words.
Inspired by the true story of John Crowley is a man who defied conventional wisdom and great odds while risking his family’s future to pursue a cure for his children’s life threatening disease.
From his working class roots, John Crowley has finally begun to taste success in corporate America. Supported by his beautiful wife Aileen (Keri Russell) and their three children, John is on the fast track. But just as his career is taking off, Crowley walks away from it all when his two youngest children, Megan and Patrick, are diagnosed with a fatal disease. With Aileen by his side, harnessing all of his skill and determination, Crowley teams up with a brilliant, but unappreciated and unconventional scientist, Dr. Robert Stonehill (Ford). Together they form a bio-tech company focused on developing a life-saving drug. One driven to prove himself and his theories, the other by a chance to save his children, this unlikely alliance eventually develops into mutual respect as they battle the medical and business establishments in a fight against the system – and time.
But, at the last minute, when it appears that a solution has been found, the relationship between the two men faces a final test – the outcome of which will affect the fate of John’s children.
Robert Nelson Jacobs (The Water Horse, Chocolat) wrote the screenplay, which was inspired by the book “The Cure” by Pulitzer Prize-winning writer Geeta Anand.
This is CBS Films first feature film and I am very excited for them and proud of them for taking on such a strong subject matter. I look forward to seeing the trailer, which should be out soon.
It is very rare that I will post two posters from the same movie at the same time, but I just love these posters. The film noir is so authentic and practical to the theme of the movie. If you have seen the trailer, you know director Joe Johnston created a Gothic film that is horrific.
AICN made the first poster available while Cinematical introduced the second poster. Which one do you like the best?
I can’t wait until this movie comes out; it will rock your senses.
The second poster is so simple but catches the viewers attention. So much so that we know the wolfman is not far and perhaps the frightened woman, Emily Blunt, is only a deadly tear away.
Brian E. (20) is the luck winner!!! This is a great movie that we will hear about while the award programs begin formulating toward the end of the year.
Two people I know rave about An Education, a Lone Sherfig ’s film. They saw the movie last June and still talk about how it gets them thinking more and more about the two main characters Jenny and David played brilliantly by Carey Mulligan and Peter Sarsgaard
. Thus, I am drawn into the film as well and have done a couple of posts about the movie.
An Education won two awards at the Cannes Film Festival 2009: Audience Award, World Cinema Dramatic Competition and Cinematography Award, World Cinema Dramatic Competition.
My friends strongly believe that both actors will be apart of the Oscar conversations that start rolling out about now. One even believes SAG will give the movie an Ensemble Cast nod.
All in all, it is a movie worth seeing if it comes to your town. It opens on a limited release October 18, 2009.
The Lovely Bones is Peter Jackson’s next movie after King Kong of four years ago. So I am happy to see Jackson behind the camera again and even bold enough to take on another genre. Lovely Bones is a smaller movie based on a novel about a young girl who, indirectly, helps solve her own murder.
The story is a supernatural thriller, which the trailer contains plot spoilers.
The movie has some great actors, just read the poster and you’ll see.
Overture Films just sent me their teaser poster for The Crazies, a horror film opening February 26, 2010. The Crazies is a reinvention loosely based upon the George Romero classic about the inhabitants of a small Iowa town beset by insanity and then death after a mysterious toxin contaminates their water supply. Directed by Breck Eisner, The Crazies stars Timothy Olyphant, Radha Mitchell, Danielle Panabaker and Joe Anderson.
The poster is pretty cool in that it doesn’t terrify me. I like the rural look of the road sign with “Help US” written in blood over “… friendless place on Earth.”
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus poster is finally here which means the movie has a distributor and it opens October 16, 2009 in selected theaters. All the footage and trailers I have seen so far draws my curiosity and excitement to see the completed movie by Terry Gilliam.
So I announce my Barney and Friends winners, which is all light and fluffy, and then BANG! BANG! Two new posters for Bad Lieutenant starring Nicolas Cage and Eva Mendez arrive at my door step. Cage and Mendes look so serious. Being a bad cop is no fun. Yet, I hear that Cage is hilarious in the movie as well. Of course, there’s violence, guns, sex and drugs. Something Barney would never approach with the kiddies.
The story is about a fox named Mr. Fox (George Clooney). In order to feed his family, he steals chickens, ducks, and turkeys at night from three mean, stinky and wealthy farmers: Boggis, Bunce and Bean. The farmers are fed up with this and try everything to kill him. One night they wait outside his foxhole in an attempt to ambush him. When Mr. Fox emerges from his home, they fire at him but only succeed in blowing off his tail. Ouch!
Determined to catch him, the farmers use spades and shovels to dig their way into the foxes’ home, but Mr. and Mrs. Fox (Meryl Streep) and their son dig a tunnel deeper into the ground and manage to escape. The farmers even resort to using bulldozers in order to dig deeper into the ground.
More happens in the story. The trailer is fun to watch - it’s wildly nutty.
