New Buried, Get Him To The Greek and Jonah Hex Movie Posters
ByToday I’ve got a slew of new movie posters for you. One is for a comic-book action movie, the other is for an anticipated summer comedy, and the last one is for a secretive and mysterious upcoming thriller. The first comes from the bewilderingly quiet big summer release from Warner Bros., Jonah Hex. The film is of course the first big-screen adaptation of the popular DC Comics series, where Hex (Josh Brolin) is a scarred bounty hunter tracking down the voodoo practitioner Turnbull (John Malkovich), who wants to raise an army of undead to liberate the South. The film started production over a year ago and we haven’t heard ONE peep via viral marketing, trailers or posters until now. And the film is set to release in just over two months on June 18. Very perplexing, Warner Bros.
Anyway, the poster looks pretty cool. It features all the main characters, including Megan Fox (who plays the love interest). It also gives us a glimpse on just what the action may be like, featuring Brolin holding two badass exploding weapons. The first trailer for Jonah Hex will drop next week in front of a Nightmare on Elm Sreet. Check out the poster below (via Slashfilm).
Next up we have a pretty funny poster for Get Him to the Greek. The film is the unofficial sequel to Forgetting Sarah Marshall, and reunites Jonah Hill and crazy British comedian Russell Brand, each reprising their former roles. This time, it’s several years later and Hill’s character is now an assistant to a mega record producer, played by none other than P. Diddy.
As I said, the poster made me chuckle, and I’m really looking forward to this comedy. Get Him to the Greek opens everywhere July 29. Check out the international poster (via Collider).
The last poster I have for you is from Buried. We reported on this mysterious thriller last summer and now we have the first official poster. The film stars Ryan Reynolds as Paul Conroy, a U.S. citizen working as a contract driver in Iraq. After a swift and sudden attack on his convoy, he awakens to find himself buried alive inside a coffin with nothing more than a lighter, a cell phone, and little memory of how he ended up there. Faced with limited oxygen and unlimited panic, Paul finds himself in a tension-filled race against time to escape this claustrophobic deathtrap before it’s too late.
It’s a pretty unprecedented concept as the entire film takes place inside the coffin with Reynolds. It sounds extremely intriguing and I’m really looking forward to seeing a film premise that I’ve never even thought of, let alone seen on screen. The poster is terrifying and makes me really claustrophobic (shivers). Buried is set to release in October. Check out the poster exclusively from FirstShowing.
