Another day, another poster. Today sees a range wide range of these one-sheets. From ultra-indie (Bellflower) to studio comedy (Bad Teacher) to action blockbuster (Conan the Barbarian), there is something for everyone. Check them out below, kicking off with Marcus Nispel‘s Conan the Barbarian.
Conan the Barbarian stars Jason Mamoa as the titular hero, a Cimmerian warrior who vows vengeance upon the nefarious Khalar Singh (Stephen Lang) following the murder of his parents. Ron Perlman co-stars as Conan’s father Corin, while Rachel Nichols plays the lead female character Tamara and Rose McGowan occupies the role of an evil witch; also starring Bob Sapp, Leo Howard and Said Taghmaoui.
Conan the Barbarian hits theaters August 19th, 2011.
Mike Mills‘ Beginners poster debuted on the official Facebook page. The film, which I quite liked at TIFF, stars Ewan McGregor, Christopher Plummer, Mélanie Laurent, and Goran Visnjic.
From writer/director Mike Mills comes a comedy/drama about how deeply funny and transformative life can be, even at its most serious moments. “Beginners” imaginatively explores the hilarity, confusion, and surprises of love through the evolving consciousness of Oliver (Golden Globe Award nominee Ewan McGregor). Oliver meets the irreverent and unpredictable Anna (Mélanie Laurent of “Inglourious Basterds”) only months after his father Hal (Academy Award nominee Christopher Plummer) has passed away. This new love floods Oliver with memories of his father who – following 44 years of marriage – came out of the closet at age 75 to live a full, energized, and wonderfully tumultuous gay life. The upheavals of Hal’s new honesty, by turns funny and moving, brought father and son closer than they’d ever been able to be. Now Oliver endeavors to love Anna with all the bravery, humor, and hope that his father taught him.
Beginners hits theaters June 3rd, 2011.
Next up is the poster for Bellflower from Hitfix. The film screened at Sundance and will screen again at SXSW this week.
Two friends spend all their free time building flame-throwers and weapons of mass destruction in hopes that a global apocalypse will occur and clear the runway for their imaginary gang “Mother Medusa”.
Jake Kasdan‘s Bad Teacher poster is up next. The R-rated sex comedy recently got a trailer and you can see the poster below via Just Jared. The film stars Cameron Diaz, Justin Timberlake, and Jason Segal.
A comedy centered around a foul-mouthed, junior high teacher who, after being dumped by her sugar daddy, begins to woo a colleague — a move that pits her against a well-loved teacher.
Bad Teacher hits theaters June 24th, 2011.
Last up, we have the first theatrical poster for Henry’s Crime via Cinematical. I disliked the film at TIFF, but the poster is decent, despite the horrendous tag-line. The film stars Keanu Reeves, Vera Farmiga and James Caan.
An aimless man is sent to prison for a crime he did not commit.
Henry’s Crime hits theaters April 8th, 2011.
