We showed you the first Notorious trailer about a month ago and here is the extended version released last night. Some really good casting choices, and some really questionable ones. It looks like they might be trying to tell too many stories in one flick, but we will definitely be checking it out in January next year.
it’s Friday, so I dub this work safe.
I love movie posters, especially ones that use the medium as more than just a promotional avenue for the film. There are plenty of posters that have transcended the movie and become cultural staples for decades (Scarface and The Godfather come to mind). Today I came across an article over at Smashing Magazine called 50 Beautiful Movie Posters. Some really cool posters that they have picked out…some from iconic films, and others from films I haven’t even heard of. I don’t know that I agree with all of their picks, but they did find some amazing posters. I think my favorite though might be this poster from Planet of the Apes. Check out more posters after the jump.
The latest Trailer for Watchmen that was shown on the Spike 2008 Scream Awards.
Michael Gillette is a graphic artist from London. He’s recently worked on new covers for the reissue of the James Bond series of books by Ian Fleming. Interview here. I love the retro-playful look of these…

UPDATE - Looks like I wasn’t the only one who thought this movie was pretty damn good.

Last night I headed out to Grauman’s Chinese Theater on Hollywood Blvd with the two Laura’s for the ScreamFest Horror Film Festival and the Premiere of the movie Splinter, directed by Toby Wilkins and starring Paulo Costazno and Jill Wagner (who we were the guests of).
Peep the Official Trailer at IMDB.
I’m a huge fan of the Horror genre and thought that Toby Wilkins was able to bring back the feel of the Horror movies of my youth, the physicality of impending death and not the generated bad guys that we’ve seen as of late. But very good movie overall and if you get the chance, check it out.
It was the first time I’d been to the famous Chinese theater and if you ever have the opportunity to catch a movie there, the feel of Hollywood history is dripping from the walls.
Because I was watching the Departed, and because after searching a little online, it turns out soccer is the reason she started acting… Vera Farmiga is of Ukrainian descent and didn’t start speaking English until she was 6. She grew up in New Jerz and spent some college years at Syracuse …fun pics after the jump. (more…)
Wow, how was this off of the Radar until now… Maybe Ed Norton and Colin Farrell can do in Pride and Glory what Al Pacino and Robert DiNiro could do earlier this summer in Righteous Kill.
