At this point, the only reason I'm not anticipating Spring Breakers is Harmony Korine's name being attached. "Cautiously Pessimistic" is probably the best way to describe it.

EDIT: poo poo, new page. Have a couple Oblivion posters that I don't believe have been posted yet.

I liked the initial parts of the trailer but it looks like it very quickly turns into a standard shoot 'em up. That's the problem with what passes for sci fi sometimes: they try to establish a strange, alien setting and then quickly fill it up with the usual bullshit.

I have to agree. Oblivion has an interesting (if not particularly original) setting, and I'd like it to be more than just "Pew pew pew, space bugs".

Gotta say though, when I saw the trailer in theaters (I believe it was before Les Miserables) they played it right after the trailer to After Earth, and Oblivion does look better than that one. And I had to giggle a bit when I noticed that they didn't mention M. Night Shyamalan's name once in the After Earth trailer.

It's amazing how tonally different from the American poster this is. They took the American poster, removed the graininess, changed the photo of Eva Mendes to another shot of her that doesn't look so grim and then airbrushed the gently caress out of everything. According to the blurb in the Eva Mendes poster, the film is a great noir, but you wouldn't know that from this version. If anything, it looks like some sort of coming-of-age melodrama.

Make a mental note to come back and look at this poster after you see the film, it doesn't look as good as the dirty one - but what you said is still quite interesting to someone who has seen it.

I dug the visual aesthetic of the ruins in the trailer so hopefully it is not just a pew pew zap the mutant alien clones movie.

Sillier to expect buildings to be able to tip like that in one piece, but hey. (And it's less just the Empire State and more the entire skyline behind him as a single unit, it seems)

Yeah, I don't expect any particularly sensible explanation for why parts of Manhattan buildings have turned into sheer cliffs with waterfalls and poo poo, but that's the case from everything we've seen. Really, the best explanation I can think of is that it's some sort of art project about turning civilization back to nature, just on a grand scale.

It looks like it's going to be incredibly beautiful but Morgan Freeman and especially Tom Cruise are cinematic death for me. Watching Tom Cruise in a film is like watching someone else go on a theme park ride based on a film. He's a terrible actor and an annoying persona.

He always looks like to me like the replacement for Scott Bakula in Quantum Leap. Like he just leaped into this person's body and now has to perform them without much knowledge. Off camera he's talking to Ziggy about what the gently caress he's supposed to feel or say. As the movie gets to the third act he at least knows how to pretend and his face is doing more nuances.

The only time I didn't feel that way was Collateral.

Seems fitting then that it was filmed in New Orleans - probably near the 9th Ward. Some friends brought me along to try and be extras for it, but no such luck.

Tom Cruise movies should be marketed with a "Tom Cruise running : run time" ratio. Dude needs to make a movie about being an Olympic sprinter or something.

Oblivion seems to be taking an anti-drone stance, so I'm willing to cut them some slack on the trailer. Also I suspect the plot is very similar to a favorite episode of The Outer Limits(there are no aliens, it's just a genocidal conflict between groups of humans using aliens as cover).

I thought that too. It's also a poo poo poster, unless the tagline is trying to say "It's always the sweet ones who superglue guns to their friends stomachs when they fall asleep sunbathing nude", because there ain't no other way that gun was being carried with one inch of the barrel stuck into a bikini bottom.

Are you sure that isn't one of those terrible covers they give to every novel ever when they get a movie adaptation? The blurb at the top gives the impression. That and the original writer was mentioned at all.

Definitely fits the thread though.

The Spring Breakers poster is a fan poster that was entered in a contest run by the producers of the film.

here's where I found it http://www.slashfilm.com/check-out-an-exclusive-spring-breakers-poster-and-design-your-own-too/

anyway, the tan line isn't accurate (big deal) but I think the concept and use of color fit with everything I've seen about the film so far :shrug:

It's pretty good for a fan poster.
