With a cast of stars that includes Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, and Amanda Seyfried, Les Misérables has an embarrassment of riches to use on posters to promote Tom Hooper’s musical adaptation. But rather than lead with one of those famous faces, the new poster uses adorable Isabelle Allen, who plays the young version of Seyfried’s Cosette, mimicking the show’s famous Broadway artwork.

The artwork reinforces a strategy that first emerged in the recent Japanese poster: Universal hopes to evoke nostalgia for the classic live stage production rather than display Hollywood stars. See it big and bold below: READ FULL STORY »

Paramount has announced an April 26 release date for Michael Bay’s Pain and Gain, starring Mark Wahlberg and Dwayne Johnson, based on a 1999 Miami New Times story about bodybuilders who turn to kidnapping, torture, and murder. “I just love the characters,” Bay told Entertainment Weekly back in 2007. “It’s these guys that work in a gym, and nothing is good enough, do you know what I mean? The pump is not good enough. They are all looking for the American dream. They end up kidnapping. It’s like a mixture of Fargo and Pulp Fiction and it’s all true. And they’re all knuckleheads. It’s a fun character piece. No action. One car crash.”

Dueling 'Skyfall' posters: Which side of the Atlantic gets Bond right?

skyfall-poster-2

It is unfair to stereotype the British people as a staid, uptight bunch. But their new poster for James Bond’s next film adventure, Skyfall, seemingly plays into that impression. Last week, Sony released their one-sheet for American audiences, and the image was one of action: Daniel Craig, dressed in an un-tied tuxedo, sliding on his back while taking aim with his pistol. The shot itself conjured up the Bond music in an instant.

Bond is much more formal in the new poster for the Brits. He’s buttoned up. He cradles his gun like it’s nothing more than a drink, and Daniel Craig looks at the camera with a trace of mistrust. It’s classic Bond, a Bond you can set your watch to. In the background, London’s skyline and the Union Jack establish that 007 is protecting home.

Lest you think I’m dissing the Brits and their Skyfall poster, I can easily reverse course and say that Americans required an action image because they don’t truly appreciate the essence of Bond. (See, I can insult both sides of the Atlantic!)

Want to get a jump on Halloween? Well, you could hone your pumpkin-hollowing skills. Or you could watch the new, found footage horror anthology V/H/S, which arrives in cinemas October 5 but is already available on VOD.

Framed by the tale of a burglary attempt which goes horribly awry the terror compendium’s directors include Ti West (House of the Devil), Glenn McQuaid (I Sell the Dead), and the filmmaking collective Radio Silence. The latter group are responsible for the anthology’s concluding chapter, “10/31/98,” in which the attempt by a group of costumed friends to attend a Halloween party goes, yes, horribly awry. “10/31/98″ is also the inspiration for a new V/H/S poster from artist Tony Moore, who is best known for his work on the Walking Dead comic. Moore’s work is one of five posters commissioned from comic book artists — the other contributors being James Stokoe, RM Guéra, Jason Latour, and Esad Ribic.

You can exclusively check out Moore’s poster above and, in larger format, below, where you’ll also find the V/H/S trailer.

Impossible

In The Impossible, Naomi Watts and Ewan McGregor play a real life married couple on vacation in Thailand when the devastating 2004 tsunami hit their seaside resort, scattering their family across the region. The poster for the film, which EW exclusively reveals below, makes clear the bleak contrast between the tranquil of this family’s life before the tsunami, and the chaotic devastation after it.

Directed by J.A. Bayona (The Orphanage), the film recently premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival. It’s set for a limited release on Dec. 21.

'Sinister': Creepy new poster for the Ethan Hawke-starring horror movie -- EXCLUSIVE

SINISTER-POSTER

In the new horror movie Sinister, Ethan Hawke plays a true crime writer who moves his family into a house that was the site of a notably grisly incident and finds some extremely strange home movies in the attic.

Do things go well for our scribe hero as he investigates what happened at his new abode in the hopes of penning a bestseller? I don’t think it will overly anger the Spoiler Gods to hint that they very much do not.

Sinister, which also stars Vincent D’Onofrio, British actress Juliet Rylance, and onetime presidential hopeful Fred Thompson opens Oct. 5 — although horror fans can petition to have their town host an advance screening at the film’s official website. In the meantime, you can exclusively check out a new poster for the film, which was created by SA Studios, above and, in a larger format, below. READ FULL STORY »

'The Bay' trailer: Check out the clip for Barry Levinson's found footage horror movie -- VIDEO

by
Tags: , , , , , , News

What would a coastally-set found footage horror movie look like if it was directed by much lauded, Oscar-winning director Barry Levinson? Yes, that’s an unusual, and unusually specific, question. But it’s one we’re now able to ruminate upon in an informed manner thanks to the arrival of the trailer for The Bay, a coastally-set found footage horror movie which is indeed the work of the Diner and Rain Man auteur.

The answer? It looks much like the kind of amazingly gruesome, body horror-featuring gorefest one imagines David Cronenberg might make had he not abandoned the genre in favor of the sort of high-minded, actorly material once much more associated with filmmakers such as, well, Barry Levinson.

Take a look at the clip for The Bay — which swims into cinemas and onto VOD, November 2 — and see if you agree.

Daniel Day-Lewis in black-and-white for Steven Spielberg's 'Lincoln' poster

by
Tags: , , ,

Just two weeks ago, we got our first close-up look at Daniel Day-Lewis in character in Steven Spielberg’s Lincoln.

Now comes the first poster for the film, giving a stark black-and-white portrait of Day-Lewis as the 16th U.S. president.

The one-sheet reinforces the remarkable transformation Day-Lewis made for this film, but while the previous image presented Lincoln in a moment of deep thought, this portrait suggests an even more dolorous tone.

'Seven Psychopaths': Check out the new poster featuring Christopher Walken -- EXCLUSIVE

Is there any doubt that Christopher Walken is our greatest movie madman? Given his performances in True Romance, King of New York, and Things To Do In Denver When You’re Dead — to name but a few of the projects which have benefited from the his crazed characterizations — I’m going to say “No.” Actually, I’m going to say, “Noh-wah” in honor of the way the idiosyncratically-speeched actor pronounces the word in the trailer for his new movie Seven Psychopaths, which opens October 12.

The second feature from In Bruges writer-director Martin McDonagh this dog-kidnapping comedy also stars Colin Farrell, Sam Rockwell, Woody Harrelson, Abbie Cornish, and Tom Waits. But it’s the Walken, the whole Walken, and nothing but the Walken in the exclusive poster for Seven Psychopaths, which you’ll find above and, in larger format, below.

Check out the poster and the trailer and tell us what you think.

10-YEARS-POSTER

One day, while hanging out on the Charleston, S.C. set of the 2010 Nicholas Sparks weepie Dear John, star Channing Tatum got to talking with costar Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights) and the film’s screenwriter, Jamie Linden (We Are Marshall). Porter and Linden were old high school buddies, and they’d just come back from their 10 year reunion. “Channing didn’t go to his,” Linden tells EW, “so he had a bunch of questions.” Soon, producers Reid Carolin, Marty Bowen, and Wyck Godfrey joined in.

Sometimes, filmmaking is just that simple: Stars + writer + producers + personal experience = The indie ensemble comedy 10 Years, written and directed by Linden, and starring Tatum, Porter, and a who’s who cavalcade of young Hollywood. EW has an exclusive first look at the poster for the film, which opens Sept. 14 — check it out below:  READ FULL STORY »
