Jackie Mother Fucking Robinson. Such an inspiring story and as they have liked to tag, this movie will be "the true story of an American Legend'. This poster has a strong image of Jackie sliding into a plate, but took me a minute to figure out the optical illusion and the fact that it is on its side. Nonetheless, it's a powerful poster that makes me want to watch some Dodgers. No, really, go Dodgers!
When looking at this poster, I cannot help or resist from noting the similarities and nod(?) to The Hunt for Red October. I put them next to each other for comparison and the colors are exactly the same. Literally, to the shade. That feels like an odd choice to imitate such an iconic poster, but I suppose it has me talking about it. As for this actual movie, I presume Halle Berry answers a call in regards to some crime that involves Abigail Breslin. I like the creativity of the LA map being superimposed over her face, but still just can't get over the colors.
Oh, just look at the sweet, smooth face of Liam Hemsworth. He's just so dreamy. And, he is going to fall in love and go fight a war. Please tell me this is a Nicholas Sparks movie, cause I'm not sure if I understand this poster if it's not.
If you ever wanted to know how to join the Cobra Special Forces, look no further. Do YOU have what it takes? I actually kind of love how this looks like an old school "war" poster from the 50s. Now, if only the movie looked this good.
It's ironic that Matthew Fox is at the front and center of this poster, because it is apparently Tommy Lee Jones that really shines in this film. The story follows life of the American occupation of Japan in the unpredictable days after Emperor Hirohito's World War II surrender. It was a dark time in the history of the world and this poster certainly signifies that with its shadows and dull color palette.
Man The Call is some 90's ass styling for movie posters. Heck the trailer plays out as if it were made and cut in the late 90s early 2000s and is only now getting released.
COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOBRRRRAAAAAAAAAA!
I keep hearing about Emperor but have only seen some like test trailers and stuff like that. I'm interested in it though, appears to be March 8
I'm sure if "Love and Honor" was a Sparks movie, they would have it written there in a bigger font than the title.
I like the '42" one. Almost makes him look like he's climbing a wall.
I can't wait to see 42, great poster too.
My takes on these posters:
Even though THE CALL will probably suck (Halle Berry's presence makes me certain of it, as she seems to only pick terrible terrible movies), that poster is really cool. I think the similarity to THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER might be intentional. I don't mind it one bit.
The 42 poster is incredible. Incredible. I love it.
The poster for LOVE AND HONOR is one of the laziest designs ever. Is it getting a theatrical release? because any distributor that thinks gives such a half-assed marketing campaign should be sued.
The one for THE EMPEROR looks fine.
The one for GI JOE: RETALIATION is part of the broader viral marketing strategy of having these Cobra propoganda films. I feel uncomfortable about it all as it seems to be parodizing the recruitment films for the military. Do we want to go back to a time like in the 60s where veterans were seen as brutal murderers? I know saying that is sensationalist, but I feel that this type of marketing has crossed a line.

When I saw "42", I was thinking "OH SHIT, A SEQUEL TO 41?!" Oddly enough, I guess we can kind of say that it is since they are both baseball flicks? I'm going to say that it is, just because it makes me all warm and fuzzy inside. IT'S BASEBALL SEASON, MOTHER FUCKERS!
With all of that said, Brian Helgelund wrote and directed it? Such a polarizing guy. On one hand, I loved the scripts for L.A. Confidential, Mystic River, and Man on Fire. However...I mean...the only times he's ever written AND directed a film are Payback, A Knight's Tale, and The Order. Those were three steaming steam piles of steaming shit steam. I REALLY want this to be a good movie, but I'm not very confident.
