Final WATCHMEN poster hits the Intertubes (along with more goodies... like Rorschach's mugshot photo!)

I soooooo want this hanging on my wall right now...

And the Warner Bros. marketing department is being very clever indeed. Check out this mugshot photo of Walter Joseph Kovacs AKA Rorschach (played by Jackie Earle Haley) that's just been released. And if you head over to the Flickr account for that radical right-wing fringe magazine The New Frontiersman you can find some "vintage" news photos of Dr. Manhattan during Operation Wrath of God, which took place in Vietnam in 1970. In the world of Watchmen, anyway...

The movie comes out March 6th.

TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN teaser poster (and the date for the trailer!)

About twenty-seven e-mails were waiting for me when I got home late Thursday night, all of 'em with the following tantalizing teaser poster for Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen...

And according to Seibertron.com, the first glimpse of the trailer is gonna come during the Super Bowl on February 1st. Also confirmed movie spots that will run during the big game are Star Trek, G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Angels and Demons, Monsters vs. Aliens, Land of the Lost, the fourth Fast and the Furious, Pixar's Up, and probably for X-Men Origins: Wolverine.

First poster for LAND OF THE LOST

Props to Cinematical for scoring the first look at the teaser poster for this summer's Land of the Lost, starring Will Ferrell and based on the television show from thirty years ago...

Friday night I watched Elf for the first time. It's a very funny movie! And it reinforced what I said a year ago when I first reported on this movie: that given a serious treatment of the plot, Ferrell could expand on the perception most folks have of him, 'cuz he would prove that he's capable of being a legitimate action star. Though from what I'm hearing Land of the Lost is still being produced as a comedy... which the original TV show was anything but.

Nice poster. I like the giant carved Sleestak especially. But color me "overly cautious" about this for the time being.

Official poster for LOST Season 5

Kinda reinforces the notion that for the most part, this upcoming season of Lost is going to be practically two different shows. One will be about Locke, Sawyer and the rest who were still on the island when it "moved" to God knows where (and God Himself may not even know if Ben wasn't lying for once). And the other will be about Jack's group that was able to leave, who are now all trying to get back.

Good poster. I like it a lot :-)

Six new WATCHMEN posters hit the Intertubes

Oh geez... can you imagine all the kids who are now gonna try to "look cool" as they emulate the Comedian lighting up his cigar like this?

Ain't It Cool News has collected the links to the six new character posters just released for Watchmen. Also in the lot are Rorschach posing with his grapple-gun, Laurie/Silk Spectre II, Dr. Manhattan (in a scene that everyone who's read the book will recognize), Adrian at his Antarctic retreat (with Bubastis in the background!), and Daniel with the Owlship.

Final poster for INDIANA JONES AND THE KINGDOM OF THE CRYSTAL SKULL

Drew Struzan delivers as classic a poster as I've ever seen for the last (?) chapter of the Indiana Jones film saga...

Is it just me, or does Karen Allen look even more beautiful in this poster than she did in Raiders of the Lost Ark all the way back in 1981? Her face is positively radiant!

What I would give to have this poster on my own wall. Hope they make them available for sale soon!

New PRINCE CASPIAN poster

This is going to be a fun thing for me to post 'cuz I was one of the first members of the general public who got to see Reepicheep in action from The Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian. That was almost two months ago at Butt-Numb-A-Thon 9 and my wife has hated it that I've already gotten to see what Reepicheep looks like... nyah-nyah-nyah!!!

So now she and everyone else gets to check him out too...

LOST Season 4 poster

Close inspection will reveal why there's so much reason to be excited about this season of Lost...

Less than 48 hours now before Lost returns. Only one other television series in my entire life had had me this excited about a new season. Yeah I've never been much of a teevee person at all. It's the story that compels me to watch something. And they don't get any more compelling than Lost has become.

Lisa and I have been watching the Season 3 DVD set for the past several days. Tonight we saw "Greatest Hits", which was this past season's penultimate episode. Now we can either watch "Through the Looking Glass" from the DVD or the special "enhanced version" that ABC will be broadcasting tomorrow night with Pop-up Video-style "factoids" on-screen. Might be worth DVR-ing that one, in case there's some new tidbits of info.

New poster for CLOVERFIELD

About to get in a bit of a nap ('cuz you also gotta be wide-awake when you fry a turkey) but before doing that, courtesy of ComingSoon.net here is the new poster for Cloverfield:

And in case you've been following this movie and haven't heard already (like I did from Phillip Arthur), there is a slow-motion close-up of the brief glimpse of the monster that we see in the new trailer (the full version of which you can watch in Quicktime here... and is that a lot of linkage to put together or what? :-).

Final poster for I AM LEGEND

Courtesy of Ain't It Cool News, here is the final theatrical poster for I Am Legend, which is now coming out in December...

I sooooo hope they've done this one right. I Am Legend is one of my all-time favorite horror stories. Unfortunately no film adaptation has really come close to nailing the loneliness and desperation of the original novel. Not even The Omega Man with Charlton Heston, which I've always loved ('specially that groovy 70s "get funky with the apocalypse" jive soundtrack by Ron Grainer). Am definitely looking forward to this, just to see what it's like.
