I wasn’t sure what to think walking out of my Bellflower screening last week. Evan Glodell‘s Sundance debut tells a heartfelt love story and what happens when that heart gets violently ripped out and torn to pieces. After giving it a few days to stew, I’m confident it is absolutely worth seeing, no matter what your reaction ends up being. Hitfix has just premiered a new poster for you to check out below and I love the work Oscilloscope Laboratories is doing for this one.
Bellflower hits theaters August 5th, 2011 and check out the trailer to get a better idea of the film’s plot.
We also have a teaser poster for Universal’s The Thing prequel…titled The Thing. Since Matthijs van Heijningen Jr.‘s film got pushed to October 2011 we haven’t hear a peep when it comes to marketing, but it looks like we have our first real piece after some photo debuts. We actually saw an early cut of the trailer at New York Comic-Con last fall and we shared our thoughts here, but you can check out the poster for the film starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Joel Edgerton, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Eric Christian Olsen below via AICN.
Synopsis:
Antarctica: an extraordinary continent of awesome beauty. It is also home to an isolated outpost where a discovery full of scientific possibility becomes a mission of survival when an alien is unearthed by a crew of international scientists. The shape-shifting creature, accidentally unleashed at this marooned colony, has the ability to turn itself into a perfect replica of any living being. It can look just like you or me, but inside, it remains inhuman.In the thriller THE THING, paranoia spreads like an epidemic among a group of researchers as they’re infected, one by one, by a mystery from another planet. Paleontologist Kate Lloyd (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) has traveled to the desolate region for the expedition of her lifetime. Joining a Norwegian scientific team that has stumbled across an extraterrestrial ship buried in the ice, she discovers an organism that seems to have died in the crash eons ago. But it is about to wake up. When a simple experiment frees the alien from its frozen prison, Kate must join the crew’s pilot, Carter (Joel Edgerton), to keep it from killing them off one at a time. And in this vast, intense land, a parasite that can mimic anything it touches will pit human against human as it tries to survive and flourish.
The Thing hits theaters October 14th, 2011.
