The world is getting amped for The Avengers movie and if you hadn’t been keeping up, it opens in theaters exactly one month from today. The hype machine is high gear and we’ve seen trailers, TV spots, posters as well as behind the scenes featurettes/images. They’re all highly sylized and compelling but as minimalist posters are still kind of the “in” thing I thought I’d throw my hat in the ring this one time. Below are some very simple Avengers character posters and a team poster I designed in sort of a 60’s/retro motif. Again very simple (like 12 minutes to make simple), they’re even minimal for minimalist standards but…

Sweet TV Spot…'The Pirates! Band of Misfits'
Taking a cue from the brilliant parody trailers from The Muppets, the marketing team behind Aardman/Sony Pictures Animation’s The Pirates! Band of Misfits is having just a little fun with The Hunger Games. Aardman Animation has given us hours of laughter and light-hearted chuckles from their signature Wallace & Gromit series as well as their forays into computer animated films. This is just a TV spot but still gives a glimpse at the fun to be had from this delightful looking film. So with that said, let the games begin… Featuring the voice talents of Hugh Grant, Martin Freeman, David Tennant and Imelda Staunton, The Pirates! Band of Misfits is directed by animation legend Peter Lord. Aardman, Columbia and Sony…

Sweet (Red Band) Trailer…'Ted'
Below is the red band trailer for the new comedy Ted which is written, directed and starring Seth MacFarlane. A master of comedy and one of the more edgy and brilliant minds in entertainment, MacFarlane is never one to pull punches with his material. If you ever had a teddy bear as a child forget your cute and cuddly friend as MacFarlane goes places that are all sorts of wrong imagining if what if that Teddy bear (brought to life as a result of a childhood wish) continued to grow up with you. For those of you interested, hope you’ll get huge laughs from this NSFW red band trailer… Ted: Restricted Trailer…

Lucasfilm Greenlights 'The Secret of Monkey Island' Film Adaptation
Huzzah! After years of waiting, fans of the popular and long running The Secret of Monkey Island computer games will see it finally make the leap to the big screen. Lucasarts has had a slew of fun and exciting 8-bit time wasters but none has had a better shot at being adapted to a feature length film than Ron Gilbert’s above mentioned game. This film, called simply Monkey Island will be financed and produced by Lucasfilm Ltd. Since seeing the staggering success that Disney and Jerry Bruckehimer had with their own Pirates series, George Lucas’ electronics division Lucasarts has been charged with breathing some cinematic life into those long dormant pixelated stories.…

G-S-T Review…Mirror Mirror
Forget the story you know, or think you know. Tarsem Singh (The Fall, Immortals) takes the famous Brothers Grimm fairy tale and looks at it through his insanely stylized goggles. Add to it an Oscar-winner, a dash or two of campiness, some wonderful set designs and the result is something that even the happiest fairy tales couldn’t come close to. While the trailers looked to contain off-putting levels of saccharine laced kid friendly material, there’s actually a lot of fun that won’t necessarily cause parents’ eyes to continuously roll. Simply put you don’t have to go in with low expectations to have a good time. Snow White is the fairest maiden in…

Sweet Trailer…'The Giant Mechanical Man'
From Dallas native Lee Kirk comes this charming and quirky ensemble romantic comedy akin to Little Miss Sunshine or Garden State. Playing the titular Mechanical Man is Chris Messina (one of the standout performances in Devil) as he and Jenna Fischer help each other to realize that in this crazy world it only takes one person to make you feel important. Behold, The Giant Mechanical Man (disclaimer: not a real mechanical man or sequel to The Iron Giant…bummer). Written/directed by Lee Kirk, The Giant Mechanical Man stars Jenna Fischer, Chris Messina, Malin Ackerman, Topher Grace, Bob Odenkirk and Lucy Punch and is set to play at the Tribeca Film Festival next month (hmmm,…

Ohhh, Look…'Dark Shadows' Character Posters
Tim Burton‘s adaptation of the TV show Dark Shadows, starring Johnny Depp, will hit theaters this May. A few weeks ago the first trailer hit the web and I have to say it looked surprisingly good.

Well if you missed it we have it posted below but right now, have a look at these 9 vibrant character posters from Apple. Annnd here’s the trailer in case you missed it… Directed by Tim Burton and starring an impressive cast featuring Johnny Depp, Eva Green, Helena Bonham Carter, Chloe Grace Moretz, Johnny Lee Miller, Jackie Earle Haley, and Michelle Pfeiffer, Dark Shadows…
