NEW 'POMPEII' POSTER
CITY WILL FALL, HERO WILL RISE
Two treats for you today, starting with lovely new posters for POMPEII epic movie which hits theatres this weekend! Set in the Roman city of Pompeii in the year AD 79, Milo (Kit Harington) is a slave turned invincible gladiator who finds himself in a race against time to save his true love Cassia (Emily Browning), the beautiful daughter of a wealthy merchant who has been unwillingly betrothed to the corrupt Roman Senator Corvis (Kiefer Sutherland). As Mount Vesuvius erupts, Milo must fight his way out of the arena in order to save his beloved as the once magnificent Pompeii crumbles around him.
GUARDIANS OF GALAXY TRAILER
The first trailer for this summer's biggest superhero adventure GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY has been finally revealed! The movie follows five unlikely galaxy heroes who are all on separate paths. Star-Lord (Chris Pratt) is piloting the Milano spacecraft, while in possession of a mysterious orb, and Gamora (Zoe Saldana) has ties to the villainous Thanos, who was revealed at the end of Marvel's The Avengers. They all meet in the space prison Kylin, where they proceed to break out together and go on a journey to Knowhere, a well-known alien hangout. They meet up with The Collector (Benicio Del Toro), while trying to evade villains Ronan the Accuser (Lee Pace) and Nebula (Karen Gillan), who both want Star-Lord's orb. Bradley Cooper is lending voice to Rocket Raccoon, while Vin Diesel is talking tree Groot! Dave Bautista is Drax the Destroyer, Michael Rooker is Yondu, Djimon Hounsou is Korath, John C. Reilly and Glenn Close are heads of Nova Corps. August 1st is the release date!
I thought Marvel was insane for turning to Guardians as their next big movie, but they may just prove me wrong. So far, I've really like what we've seen.
ReplyDeletewell, there's a sweet coon in it... what more could we want? :))
DeleteThey filmed parts of Pompeii in Toronto, I know. The only volcano there is the Mayor though.
ReplyDeleteHope the Mayor ain't active these days :)
DeleteI burn with desire to see Pompei...Looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI agree, Phil, can't wait to watch it :)
DeleteWow. What a cast for Guardians. As epic as Pompei looks, it's kind of like watching Titanic. They're all gonna die! lol
ReplyDeletenot necessarily :) I have a feeling the young couple might escape the volcano :)
DeleteGreat the guardians of the galaxy ! I love it funny movie .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
it will be a huge blockbuster :)
DeleteGreat posters, but I don't think either of these are for me today. Though Guardian's has a great cast, I just can't see me getting sucked into it.
ReplyDeletebut, but, but... there's a love story in POMPEII :)
DeleteGuardians of the Galaxy sounds really good, Kit looks a little like Eric Bana on that Pompeii poster? Pompeii is a good idea but no surprise ending I take it?
ReplyDeleteLooked like Bana to me as well.
DeleteHe does, Fran, kinda like Bana's Hector from TROY!
DeleteI'll most likely watch this movie if it hits NetFlix or Amazon Instants. Might be a goof for a Saturday pizza night.
ReplyDeleteI wish somebody would make me a pizza on a Saturday night :)
DeleteI like the look of the characters Guardians of the Galaxy need to see more before making my mind up as to whether it will a cinema job or dvd job
ReplyDeleteMe too, the first trailer isn't really overlyimpressive
DeleteI think I'll be seeing both of them! Thanks so much for the info.... I appreciate it.
ReplyDeletebe welcome, Pat, glad you enjoyed them :)
DeleteI really hope they do a good job with 'Pompeii.' I'm going to go see it (along with the sequel to 300, I'm sure I'll be of "those guys" who sees a movie by himself). I just hope it's not a bust.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for both of those, 300 RISE OF AN EMPIRE is my most anticipated movie this year! That and DRACULA UNTOLD :)
DeleteI want to see both.
ReplyDeleteme too, Sandra!
DeleteI have a feeling Guardians of the Galaxy will not be the success Marvel hopes it to be.
ReplyDeleteI have no feeling about it myself
DeleteI watched the trailer for GotG last night with my son. It didn't wow me like other Marvel films, but I'll give it a go.
ReplyDeleteyep, I agree, there is no wow factor in it
DeletePompeii looks like it might be interesting. A different role for Sutherland.
ReplyDeletewe do love that genre of movies, we absolutely adore it
DeleteHi Dezzy! Love Pompeii, look good!! xx
ReplyDeleteI agree, Gloria!
DeleteSo far GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY looks good. I' not biased to Karen Gillan because she was in Doctor Who or anything.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine that you're not :)
DeletePompeii...looks awesome!!!
ReplyDeleteawesome possum!
DeleteOh my gosh, I'm super excited about GUARDIANS OF THE GALAXY. It looks like a whole lot of fun!!!
ReplyDeletefun with the coon!
DeleteI love that Chris Pratt is a kick ass leading man!
ReplyDeletehe does have his charms
DeleteI just heard the radio deejays talking about Pompeii this morning and I must say I heard it from Hollywood Spy first. Will definitely watch it.
ReplyDelete;tis true, most people hear about most films here first :)
