Batman And Bane Empire Covers

Empire's December issue offers up a choice of two covers, one featuring Batman and the other featuring Bane, as part of their feature article on 2012's most anticipated movie.

Personally I prefer the Batman one as it's more dramatically posed, the question is what is that he's aiming?

"War Horse" Production Photos

From director Steven Spielberg​ comes “War Horse,” an epic adventure for audiences of all ages. Set against a sweeping canvas of rural England and Europe during the First World War, “War Horse” begins with the remarkable friendship between a horse named Joey and a young man called Albert, who tames and trains him. When they are forcefully parted, the film follows the extraordinary journey of the horse as he moves through the war, changing and inspiring the lives of all those he meets—British cavalry, German soldiers, and a French farmer and his granddaughter—before the story reaches its emotional climax in the heart of No Man’s Land. The First World War is experienced through the journey of this horse—an odyssey of joy and sorrow, passionate friendship and high adventure. “War Horse” is one of the great stories of friendship and war—a successful book, it was turned into a hugely successful international theatrical hit that is arriving on Broadway next year. It now comes to screen in an epic adaptation by one of the great directors in film history.

"Project X" Poster Complete With "Hangover" Reference.

In yet another example of a studio using the success of a previous film to pimp another lesser film, below is the poster for Project X. If you haven't already noticed, Todd Phillips of Hangover fame, yeah his name is on the poster as is Hangover. Is this unusual? No. Is it annoying...to me today. Yes.

For all I know this film could be just as good as Hangover or do better at the box office but isn't there a bigger problem when you can't sell a movie on it's own merits? Sure its a great marketing ploy, emblazing 300 on every Immortals poster and TV spot helped with a more than solid opening weekend for the flick. Is this what we're teaching our young marketing executives? Unoriginality. Way to bring it guys.

The Expendables 2 One-Sheet - Cannon Lives!

The whole appeal of first Expendables was seeing all the old bad-asses from the mid-to-late 80s together in one movie. And then people got royally screwed. One scene, just one with Sly, Arnie and Bruce bullshitting in a New Orleans church, and at no point did they punch anything!? Bastards!

Thankfully, the one-sheet for The Expendables 2, as supplied by JoBlo, promises Schwarzenegger and Willis will stab something this time, and with Chuck Norris and Jean-Claude Van Damme for added Cannon measure.

Two BTS Vids For Snow White and the Huntsman!

When the trailer dropped last week it was undoubtedly the most surprising trailer I've seen in a long time, it totally sold me on this movie, and now ET has two behind the scenes features, one with Charlize Theron and the other with Chris Hemsworth and Snow White herself Kristen Stewart.

From Immortals to Killing Tinkerbell

In the course of a week, Tarsem Singh went earning goodwill off Immortals to pissing it all away with the trailer to Mirror Mirror.

He suffers from the same dilemma as his old film-school pal Zack Snyder - ironic given how both are betting the farm on Henry Cavill as their leading man. Visually, he delivers aces in spades. But you'd better hand the guy a good story else the product is fucked no matter how fabulous it looks.

Fortunately with the success of his Greek epic, his stock is high and position has shifted to him being the one pitched ideas to. "TOLDJA" says in his first post-Immortals success project (Relativity Media hired him for Mirror Mirror before the first footage from Immortals publicly screened) Tarsem has chosen the noir-fantasy Killing On Carnival Row.

The script, set in a futuristic yet 18th century looking London, is described by those who've read it (read: TMT's own Peter Georgiou) as "Peter Pan meets Sherlock Holmes." In another case of small-world syndrome, it was penned by Travis Beacham, the chap we reported is on Warner Brothers' short-list to write the sequel to the as-yet-released The Man of Steel.

New Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows Featurette

Comingsoon.net has got a new featurette up courtesy of Warner Bros: Pictures for one of the two big Christmas holiday releases.

So far the marketing has focused mainly on the comedy elements, big explosions and slow mo overkill, as opposed to an intriguing mystery featuring Holmes' legendary nemesis Professor Moriarty, hopefully the movie itself will not do the same.
