From Movie
Poster Warehouse comes the simple yet moving poster for The Guys
starring Anthony LaPaglia and Sigourney Weaver.

From LatinoReview
we have the one sheet for the John Travolta / Samuel L. Jackson thriller
Basic.
Nothing too exciting here, though the optical flare around Jackson's hand
makes it look like he's about to toss a frisbee. Then there is the second
poster for Shanghai Knights. Although it is pretty similar to the
previous
one, the different background and the shattered glass makes this one
much more interesting.

From LatinoReview
comes the final poster for Daredevil. Nothing too new here if you
have already seen the various character banners in theaters. Just the original
poster with them added in behind the hero to make for one crowded rooftop.
And from Empire
Movies comes the second one sheet for The Core as well as a
better quality image for It Runs in the Family.
Tuesday, January 28th, 2003
That didn't take long. Better quality images of the one
sheets for Willard, Agent Cody Banks, and Identity
from Dark Horizons, LatinoReview,
and SUPERPOSTERS

From SUPERPOSTERS
comes the one sheet for House of Fools, Russia's official entry
for Best Foreign Language film at this year's Academy Awards.
Meanwhile, the IMP has two more BAD QUALITY first looks
at some upcoming posters. First of all there is the straightforward poster
for It Runs in the Family starring three generations of the Douglas
clan. Then there is the creepy poster for the remake of Willard
starring Crispin Glover. Most people will remember him as "The Thin Man"
(and only memorable character) from the recent Charlie's Angels
remake or as Marty McFly's dad in Back to the Future. But the IMP
will always remember him from Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter where
his final line was something along the lines of "Uhhh, guys, where's the
corkscrew?" Better quality scans will hopefully be along soon.

The quality is pretty wretched, but here is a first look
at the poster for Agent Cody Banks, starring Frankie Muniz, in a
film looking to cash in on the success of Spy Kids. Hopefully we'll
get a better quality image shortly. For now, we can wonder whether this
poster for a "kid's film" is trying to promote the star of Malcolm in
the Middle or the breasts of the girl behind him. Oh dear...
From Empire
Movies comes a better quality image of the teaser poster for The
Cat in the Hat starring Mike Myers.

Poster Image
Archive has the one sheet for the Disney animated film Finding Nemo.
The poster is fairly straightforward but it does have a cute disclaimer
to its tag line of "There are 3.7 trillion fish in the ocean. They're looking
for just one." For the curious, the small print reads: "Actually,
no one can ever know exactly how many fish there are in the ocean. According
to some sources, the real number is probably closer to between 1 and 4
quadrillion! We just wanted to emphasize the boatload of fish that live
in the world's oceans and one fish's incredible quest to find his lost
son. If you think you know the actual number, we'd like to know too! Contact
us at findingnemo.com."

From Empire
Movies we get the one sheet for the new Mandy Moore film How to
Deal. Let's call it "How Not To Design a Poster" instead. Sure, she
is pretty, but this is a movie poster, not a glamour poster. From its overused
and meaningless tag-line to the blank background and what looks like an
air brushed shirt, the poster says absolutely nothing. What's the movie
about? Don't look for any answers here...

From UIP Netherlands
comes the poster for the new Rowan Atkinson spy spoof Johnny English.
Only one problem with the poster: they forgot to make it funny! Sure, the
tag line is humorous and just looking at Mr. Bean's face can sometimes
provoke giggling, but the whole point of the movie is that this guy's supposed
to be utterly incompetent. Where is that in the poster?
Two new posters from Poster
Image Archive. The first one is a pretty straightforward poster for
Bad
Boys II. Then we have the rather humorous one sheet for Anger Management
featuring a very angry Adam Sandler and Jack Nicholson.
Wednesday, January 1st, 2003
We start the new year off with a first look at the one
sheet for the new Disney film Holes from the film's official
site.
Sunday, December 22nd, 2002
From Empire
Movies comes the one sheet for the Kate Hudson / Matthew McConaughey
comedy How To Lose a Guy in 10 Days.
Friday, December 20th, 2002
Two new posters from Poster
Image Archive. First we have the teaser for Eddie Murphy's Daddy
Day Care. Once again we see a poster trying to create a catch phrase
for its title: D-Day. Pretty unimaginative, though the fingernails scraping
along the titles is sorta cute. Then there is the straightforward poster
for Bruce Willis' Tears of the Sun. Meanwhile, the official
site for House of 1000 Corpses has their official poster, which
was decided by fan vote the other week. Very pretty.
Thursday, December 19th, 2002
From IGN FilmForce
comes the impressive looking one sheet for The Hunted, starring
Tommy Lee Jones and Benicio Del Toro. Meanwhile, the nominees for the Golden
Globe Awards are out and you can check the IMP's
page for them. Finally, JoBlo.com
has the latest one poster for A Guy Thing.
Tuesday, December 17th, 2002
From COMINGSOON.net
comes the cute but unimaginative poster for What a Girl Wants starring
Amanda Bynes. With her character making the peace sign, one would almost
think she is advertising What a Girl Wants II. (I suppose that would
be Mel Gibson's What Women Want.)
Sunday, December 15th, 2002
From the official sitecomes
the teaser poster for The Hulk. Pretty good. I like how the hulk's
open hand covers up much of his face. Makes the poster a little more mysterious.
Only have a thumbnail at the moment from Apple.com
but here is a tiny image of the intriguing poster for Identity,
next year's thriller starring John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Alfred Molina, and
a whole bunch of others. You can go to the official
site to see a clearer image of the artwork featuring a bloody handprint
with shadowy people for fingers.
Wednesday, December 11th, 2002
Two new posters courtesy of CountingDown.com.
Biker
Boyz starring Lawrence Fishburne and Old School starring
Will Farrell, Luke Wilson, and Vince Vaughn.
Monday, December 9th, 2002
From LatinoReview
comes the rather plain poster for the Charles Dickens film Nicholas
Nickleby featuring the likes of Nathan Lane, Jim Broadbent, Christopher
Plummer, Alan Cumming, and Miranda Richaardson. Of course all their
faces are plopped together in a cheesy looking montage at the bottom like
some bad video poster. The kind of poster that tells you absolutely nothing
about the film. Shame shame shame!
Friday, December 6th, 2002
Redneck Alert! From Cinema
Confidential comes the poster for Blue Collar Comedy Tour: The Movie
featuring Jeff Foxworthy.
Thursday, December 5th, 2002
Empire
Movies gives us the second poster for the John Leguizamo / Peter Sarsgaard
film Empire. Unfortunately, this floating head version of the poster
has removed the gun looming over the city-scape which basically ruins the
whole point the first poster was making. Meanwhile, from UIP
Netherlands comes the poster for Heath Ledger's Ned Kelly aka
The
Kelly Gang and from JoBlo.com
comes the poster for Gerry the new Gus Van Sant film starring Casey
Affleck and Matt Damon.
Finally, we have very poor quality images of the posters
for Bringing Down the House, the new Steve Martin / Queen Latifah
comedy, and LL Cool J's Deliver Us From Eva.
Wednesday, December 4th, 2002
From COMINGSOON.net
comes a small image of the teaser poster for next year's Pirates of
the Caribbean starring Johnny Depp and Geoffrey Rush.
From Poster
Image Archive comes the one sheet for the Cate Blanchett film Veronica
Guerin. Can't say too much about the poster. It is a memorable image
of Blanchett, but it is just an image, nothing more. And the tag line -
"why would anyone want to kill Veronica Guerin" - seems pretty ridiculous.
From the plot of the film it is obvious why certain people would have wanted
to kill her. But from the poster, we are left to simply wonder why anybody
would want to kill someone this pretty. Just try and picture the same tag
line with an ugly face on the cover.
Meanwhile, from Dawn
Patrol comes their poster for May.
