New Poster for The Road Sells Out

We just love destroying the world, don't we? If it's not Roland Emmerich's in-your-face approach with 2012, it's a more somber, elegant flavor presented by No Country For Old Men writer Cormac McCarthy. 

The Road, starring Viggo Mortensen, Charlize Theron and Robert Duvall, and based on the Pullitzer Prize winning McCarthy novel, opens in theaters this Wednesday- just in time to balance your Thanksgiving festivities with a little post-apocalyptic sorrow.

Dimension Films has released a new poster for the film that features an inexplicably large Rolling Stone magazine logo.

The Road Rolling Stone Poster

Now, I love Rolling Stone as much as the next guy, but what is this poster selling? Have we become that jaded that we need to see the Rolling Stone logo that large on this poster to tell us this movie is cool?

Sure, it's an interesting image and all, but it looks more like a magazine cover than a movie poster. Not to mention that all of this fanfare is for a Peter Travers review. The snippet Dimension has chosen reads like the most generic accolade one could say about a film. How many times can Peter Travers rave "A Triumph"? I distinctly remember the same two word review on the back of the Batman videocassette... in 1989.

All that being said, McCarthy's No Country For Old Men and Road director John Hillcoat's The Proposition were both excellent films, which would lead me to believe The Road will follow in their footsteps. I'll be there on November 25, when The Road opens in theaters.

New Moon Sucks the Life Out of the Competition!

New Moon proved to be the box-office vampire everyone thought it was going to be... and more.

The Twilight sequel raked in a whopping $140.7 million in its first three days of release, to become the third-biggest opening weekend domestically of all time.

After setting a record for the highest gross for Thursday midnight screenings, New Moon opened Friday with a whopping $72.7 million, setting another record for largest single day opening. Coupled with $118.1 million in international receipts, the Twilight sequel earned a whopping $258.8 million worldwide.

Coming in second, surprisingly, was the Sandra Bullock real-life drama The Blind Side, with $34.5 million, which booted Roland Emmerich's empty explosion extravaganza 2012 to number three with only $26.5 million. That's a rather hard fall for 2102, after its solid $65 million opening, bringing its one week gross up to $108.2 million, still well below its estimated $200 million price tag.

Here's a quick breakdown of the top 5 this weekend:

  1. New Moon             $140,700,000
  2. The Blind Side          $34,510,000
  3. 2012                          $26,500,000
  4. Planet 51                  $12,600,000
  5. A Christmas Carol   $12,230,000

Reel Movie Trailers: The Last Song

Coming April 2, 2010 is another Miley Cyrus film. This time, we're getting something a little more mature and serious than Hannah Montana, as The Last Song is based on the book by Nicholas Sparks, who wrote The Notebook.

New Moon Breaks Midnight Record!

If the frenzy at the New Moon premiere was any indication, we should have had money riding on this.

New Moon has surpassed the box office records of both Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince and The Dark Knight for opening night shows, raking in an intimidating $26.27 million from 3,514 theaters last night!

Three Posters for The Cabin in the Woods!

United Artists has released three posters for the upcoming horror film The Cabin in the Woods. Written by Joss Whedon and Drew Goddard, and directed by Goddard, the film is a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the classic "cabin in the woods" horror theme.

The three posters, while identical in their overall design, feature three different taglines aimed at would-be teen campers, offering them hilariously dubious advice on what to do in each given horror scenario.

It'll be a little while before we get to see just what Whedon and Goddard have in store, as The Cabin in the Woods won't hit theaters until January 14, 2011. While the posters display a February 2010 release date, it's being reported that MGM has delayed releasing the film in order to convert it to 3-D.

First Iron Man 3 Rumor!

Iron Man 2 is still a solid 6 months away, and already rumors are swirling about the third film.

Recently, Faran Tahir, who played Raza, the leader of the Ten Rings Terrorist organisation that imprisoned Tony Stark at the beginning of the first film, has been speaking about his character possibly becoming the mustached supergenius Mandarin.

Faran Tahir as Raza in Iron Man

"At some point, they want to introduce Mandarin into the storyline and my character, like Mandarin, was the leader of the Ten Rings," he told Moviefone. "We're leaving it open because, partly, it makes good business sense for us to leave a little bit of uncertainty for people to speculate on."

"He [Favreau] has known for a long time where he wants to take it and I don't want to speak for him, but my feeling is that the second movie didn't want to just follow a singular storyline. They wanted to expand the characters to show that it's not a linear saga like Lord of the Rings. There's a linkage somewhere in there, but the big idea is to do at least one more Iron Man movie and then go into The Avengers."

Iron Man 2 hits theaters on May 7, 2010.
