"Muppets" Piggybacks Their Marketing Off "Twilight"

The actual trailer which gave us some insight into what the Muppets movie was really about was actually really good. All of these "let's mock movies that will make more money than us" posters and tv spots I can take or leave. I get what they are going for but we're at the point where the movie needs to speak for itself, and by some early accounts it's a fun flick.

"Titanic 3D" Poster: My Heart Will Go On

Inspired by the major three dimensional bank Avatar pulled in James Cameron decided to re-release Titanic in 3D. So I guess this means Jack and Rose's hearts will indeed go on? I can't blame anybody for wanting to re-release a movie that made the money that Titanic made, especially after the success of the re-release of Lion King in 3D.

I'm sort of interested to see if Billy Zane's smugness is magnified on screen if you watch it in 3D. Check out the poster below, it's like Jack never froze to death in that water and old lady Rose never selfishly threw that giant blue gem into the sea years later.

"Man Of Steel" Movie Inspired Action Figures

What is the phrase I am looking for? "It's the suit that makes the man." Something like that. Fans of the upcoming Man Of Steel movie were waiting not so patiently for the release of the "new Superman suit". When it finally was revealed there was laughing and there were tears. People loved the cape attachment, people hated lack of red shorts, people loved the lack of red shorts. On and on it went.

The same mass hysteria will occur when the movie related action figures are revealed, which won't be for a good while. Until then, matthancock of the SuperHeroHype Forums has created his own version of Henry Cavill as Superman and Russell Crowe as Jor-El to hold the masses over until the real thing. Not a bad job at all.

Helena Bonham Carter & Jeremy Irvine In "Great Expectations" 

A terrifying encounter with an escaped convict in a graveyard on the wild Kent marshes; a summons to meet the bitter, decaying Miss Havisham and her beautiful, cold-hearted ward Estella; the sudden generosity of a mysterious benefactor-these form a series of events that change the orphan Pip's life forever, as he eagerly abandons his humble origins to begin a new life as a gentleman. Dickens's haunting novel depicts Pip's education and development through adversity as he discovers the true nature of his great expectations. Published nine years before Dickens's death, it remains one of his most celebrated works.

Spider-Man & Gwen Stacy Swing On To SNL Set

Haven't heard much noise from The Amazing Spider-Man marketing widgets lately but the powers that be used Emma Stone's appearance on SNL to pimp their version of Webhead. During the opening monologue by Stone aka Gwen Stacy, Andy Samberg webs his way down from the upper rafters and pitches his case for playing Spider-Man in the upcoming reboot.  After some jokes Stone calls Andrew Garfield up to get his take on the situation. Enjoy above.

Concept Art From The Now Defunct "Crow Reboot"

I'm not a fan of some of these proposed reboots, although some of them really peak my geek interest, such was the case with The Crow. Considering I am a fan of Juan Carlos Fresnadillo's work on 28 Days Later and Bradley Cooper (cast as the undead lead), i was going full bore for this reincarnation.

One of my favorite sites, ShockTillYouDrop, has the exclusive look at concept art from the now in turn around project. It's pretty interesting to get a peak into the what Cooper might have looked like as Crow. Check the concept art out below and you can see more on the artist's site, Diego Lattore.
