‘Iron Man 3′: New Poster, Extremis Talk, and the Cost of Being Iron Man

iron-man-3-imax-1201-poster

You like that? It could be yours if you go to the midnight IMAX screening of Iron Man 3 at your local IMAX theater, according to Screen Rant. The poster was designed by comic book artist Jock (The Losers, Hellblazer), and is the latest in 12:01 poster series, which previous has included unique works honoring the release Real Steel, The Amazing Spider-Man, and Frankenweenie.

In other Iron Man 3 new, Marvel Studios head honcho and Iron Man 3 producer Kevin Feige recently talked to the LA Times about Tony Stark’s mind set going into the movie, and where the character’s head is at this point in his story arc. Here’s what Feige had to say:

“He’s experienced things now that frankly was a wake-up call. You don’t have gamma-powered strength that anger can bring about. You don’t have super-soldier serum flowing through your veins. You’re not a thunder god from Asgard. You’re just a guy. And Tony doesn’t necessarily like to be reminded of those kinds of things because he likes to be at the top of the food chain.

“Where we meet Tony, he wants to be in that suit all the time, and he wants a lot of suits around him. And just as we sort of learn that’s his issue, we blow them all up and take him out of that comfort zone.

“We wanted to take Tony to a place that he hadn’t been since the first half of the first ‘Iron Man’ film, which is, essentially, by himself without his money, without his toys, without his gadgets, with just his mind, his intellect. We wanted to do that in a big climactic fashion by literally taking away everything that is near and dear to him, as symbolized in that mansion crumbling down into the Pacific.”

In other Iron Man 3 developments, a new featurette has been released, and it outlines just how Extremis comes into play in the film and how it factors into The Mandarin’s (Ben Kingsley) master plan. Included is commentary by director Shane Black, star Robert Downey Jr., and new head henchman James Badge Dale. Press play below (courtesy of Collider):

Finally, from the people who have more time on their hands than I do (and Geeks Are Sexy), a break down of just how much it costs to be Tony Stark. Enjoy!

Today, there’s a poster and a promise, from Collider, of a trailer to come this week. The poster features the two dead cops and smartly displays what the hell R.I.P.D. actually means, hopefully clearing up confusion over what this film is all about,

Check Out the First Poster for Neill Blomkamp’s ‘Elysium’ – Look Out for the Trailer Tomorrow

screen-capture

The first poster for Neill Blomkamp‘s Elysium has been released, and we can expect to see the full trailer out tomorrow.  Given the reaction to the footage that was shown at last year’s comic-con, we can expect the trailer to be pretty damn epic.  Basically, Earth is in shambles and those that live on the space station Elysium are living the nice life, but they enforce anti-immigration laws even more strongly than the Americans do when it comes to Mexicans.  So, seems like it would be quite the task for Matt Damon’s character to try and get his ass into Elysium for medical help.  And if he does, everything will change forever.  Dun dun dun…  From what we know about the film, it definitely sounds interesting.

The cast includes Matt Damon, Jodie Foster, Sharlto Copley, Alice Braga, Wagner Moura, and William Fichtner.  We’ll be seeing Elysium in theaters on August 9, 2013.

‘Game of Thrones’ Season 3 Trailer – Watch it Here!

got3dragonnew

UPDATE: In addition to the trailer there’s also a new poster for Game of Thrones Season 3, which you can see above, click it to embiggen. And as I’ll be repeating later on, motherfuckin’ dragons!

After debuting last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live! the trailer for Season 3 of Game of Thrones has become available online. I’ve already watched it about 10 times… I’m that excited. This trailer perked me up more than a cup of coffee. I mean, I mean– oh, just watch it!

First off, DRAGONS. Motherfuckin’ dragons. No longer tiny enough to sit on one’s shoulders but instead fly around and burn whole ships! I was curious how big they’d be this season knowing they’ll be asked to perform larger incendiary tasks, but seeing one flying around in the trailer was a sure treat.

A couple other things I picked out: Thoros of Myr with his flaming sword, The Hound fighting members of the Brotherhood, something nasty happening to Jaime, Dany and her new Unsullied army, Mance Rayder and wildlings and white walkers, oh my!, Joffrey being a dick, and Tyrion sporting that lovely battle scar. Actually, I’m a little disappointed by his scar because as it’s described in the book he loses half his nose, but I understand they couldn’t actually mutilate Peter Dinklage. And besides, he was already far more attractive than Tyrion had any right being.

But still, guys, DRAGONS! I’m so pumped. What did you think of the Season 3 trailer? Does it have you quaking with excitement for March 31st? If you’re looking for screencaps of every awesome moment head on over to Winter is Coming’s Tumblr.

Check Out the First “Poster” for ‘Thor: The Dark World’

With the release of Thor: The Dark World almost a year from now and filming still underway, you wouldn’t expect to see an actual poster anytime soon. Sure, there’s the official typography for the film, above, that was first seen when the title was announced but that’s not really a poster. This is a poster,

Almost, or as artist Olly Moss tweets it,

This won’t be the final poster or even a teaser poster released for the film, but rather it’s a special poster made especially for the cast and crew which they’ll receive when production ends. Moss created a similar poster for the end of production on Thor, you can see it, along with more of his fabulous art, on his website.

What do you guys think of the first kinda, sorta promo poster of Thor 2?

Full Tryptich Poster for ‘Oz the Great and Powerful’

All the pieces have been assembled and we’ve now got the complete picture for Oz The Great and Powerful, Sam Raimi‘s upcoming movie exploring the Wizard of Oz’s origins. Starring James FrancoMila Kunis, Michelle Williams, Rachel Weisz and Zach Braff, this tryptich poster gives a wonderful sense of what Raimi’s Oz will look like, the scenery and characters. You can for sure see the influence from the classic 1939 film, but as if everything’s been turned up to 11. I can already tell Oz will likely be one of best looking films of early next year, let’s hope it’s got a story of substance to match.

Here’s the whole poster, which you’ll really want to embiggen in order to get the full effect.

Synopsis:

Disney’s fantastical adventure “Oz The Great and Powerful,” directed by Sam Raimi, imagines the origins of L. Frank Baum’s beloved character, the Wizard of Oz. When Oscar Diggs (James Franco), a small-time circus magician with dubious ethics, is hurled away from dusty Kansas to the vibrant Land of Oz, he thinks he’s hit the jackpot—fame and fortune are his for the taking—that is until he meets three witches, Theodora (Mila Kunis), Evanora (Rachel Weisz) and Glinda (Michelle Williams), who are not convinced he is the great wizard everyone’s been expecting. Reluctantly drawn into the epic problems facing the Land of Oz and its inhabitants, Oscar must find out who is good and who is evil before it is too late. Putting his magical arts to use through illusion, ingenuity—and even a bit of wizardry—Oscar transforms himself not only into the great and powerful Wizard of Oz but into a better man as well.

Oz The Great and Powerful opens March 8th, 2013. Any interest from you guys? Did you get a look at the trailer?
