Also, drink
and watch movies.
That's fun too.

It sort of makes sense in the context of the original film's advertising. I don't know if its relevant to the movie in any way but they did this strange INSIDIOUS IS, IS INSIDIOUS, INSIDIOUS IS INSIDIOUS (?) thing. You can see some of it here:

Here's the Emily Blunt poster for ~~Edge of Tomorrow~~ All You Need Is Kill.

You know it's of Japanese origin when there's a woman wielding a giant blade.

Can someone help me find a poster that was posted either in this thread or the last one? It was a poster (or a fake poster) for a real-or-imaginary film of Roadside Picnic by the Strugatsky brothers, and featured a train on tracks going over the title (which was in Cyrillic and was rendered like a 3-d sign) and the poster credits were rendered under the sign as well. People were talking about it being a neat visual with the poster credits being 3-D like they were.

The whole thing looks really weird because there's the concert footage but then it cuts to Dane DeHaan running around a city going crazy.

Well that and the red hood, and I thought the Afghan Girl had a face covering too, but I just looked her up and apparently she didn't. So I guess disregard my previous statement :v:

I dunno if I should be amused or upset that a movie filmed in Vancouver apparently centres around an enormous riot :sigh:

The new BC Place stadium looks purdy though :3:

(nevermind that Metallica actually plays in the hockey arena nextdoor when they're in town)

Why does Tom Cruise need to fly? He can run anywhere faster.

Please tell me Tom Cruise rides it like a skateboard. I want All You Need is Kill to be a live-action Sonic Adventures.

I bet whenever he's on a plane, he enters it from the tail end and runs super fast to the cockpit while the thing is airborne. And just keeps running with his face pressed up against the windscreen and the pilots are all annoyed, the super secure cockpit door has a Tom Cruise-shaped hole in it and when they finally land, he jumps through the windscreen and just runs. He runs.

Red Bones: Aug 9, 2012; "I think he's a bad enough person to stay ghost through his sheer love of child-killing."

I wonder if movies will start using proper powered exoskeletons for effects work once they become a bit more commercially available. I'm not sure what you could use them for, since a lot of heavy lifting effects can probably be done with an off-camera winch and some editing to remove the rope, but I'm sure someone will work out something to do with them.

Chances are some rotten focus group full of morbidly obese soccer moms and elderly nuns convinced the studio the change the title because All You Need Is Kill sounded too violent.

This is a MONDO poster I believe.

I just saw this yesterday and while it doesn't hold a candle to the original poster, I like that they have the redacted credits in there. When the credits roll on the movie, something like 60% of the names are listed as Anonymous, even for things like choreography and relatively minor crew roles.

Actually, the more I look at it the more I like it.

One thing that's amazing about that poster once you've seen the movie is that the two people to the right are horrible killers that pretty much helped commit genocide and there they are, one in a fancy tux and the other in drag.

Any kind of rig-assisted jumping or takeoff never looks good because the actor is pulled from up top rather than being pushed from their legs, and then let down slowly rather than absorbing the landing in their legs. Exolegs should conceivably do a much better job.

I'm sure that Cruise owns an exosuit that was constructed for him by the SeaOrg.

This is a hilariously stupid vision, akin to productions using bag-bullets full of fake blood fired from real guns instead of gibs and CGI blood.
