NEW 'DRAGON BLADE' POSTER
ROMANS IN ANCIENT CHINA
Poster day today, people, starting with the new one for epic adventure DRAGON BLADE which will finally hit US cinemas this September following the fight for the Silk Road, where East and West collide. When corrupt Roman leader Tiberius (Adrien Brody) arrives with a giant army to claim the Silk Road, Huo An (Jackie Chan) and his group of trained warriors teams up with an elite legion of defected Roman soldiers led by General Lucius (John Cusack) to maintain the delicate balance of power in the region. To protect his country and his new friends, Huo An gathers the warriors of thirty-six ethnic nations together to fight Tiberius in an incredible epic battle.
NEW 'TALE OF TALES' POSTER
SALMA HAYEK AS THE QUEEN
Another epic story to get a new poster is Italian bizarre, yet visually stunning, fairy tale drama TALE OF TALES based on a 17th century collection of fairy tales by Italian author Giambattista Basile! The movie weaves realistic and fantastical elements together into three different storylines, with Salma Hayek playing the Queen of Longtrellis and John C. Reilly as her King, Vincent Cassel as the King of Strongcliff and Toby Jones as the King of HighHills. It will compete at film festivals around Europe this year!

'THE 33' GETS FIRST POSTER
ANTONIO BANDERAS, RODRIGO SANTORO, JULIETTE BINOCHE
And then there's a new, or to be more precise, the very first poster for real life drama THE 33 with the story based on the real-life event from Chile a few years ago, when a gold and copper mine collapsed, trapping 33 miners underground for 69 days. Antonio Banderas, Rodrigo Santoro, Juliette Binoche, James Brolin, Lou Diamond Phillips and Gabriel Byrne star. The movie hits Chilean cinemas this August and will move into the American ones in November ahead of the Oscar award season.
The movie poster for Tale of Tales is beautiful! Love that dress! Dragon Blade sounds like a good movie.
ReplyDeleteAgreed on both! We shall watch all three of them with great pleasure!
Delete"Tale of Tales" looks like my kind of movie and not just because Salma Hayek is in it!
ReplyDeleteand because there's that naked damsel in it :)
Delete3 for 3, Dez - I'm hugely curious about them all, especially new Jackie Chan!
ReplyDeleteI need to torrent DRAGON BLADE, I ain't missing that one for sure. I torrented OUTCAST Asian epic with Hayden and Cage last week and it was wonderfully atrocious :) And LAST KNIGHTS with Clive Owen was strangely strange too .. like, it's epic but not set in any particular period so it's really interesting
DeleteOMG I watched the live news coverage of the Chilean mine collapse 24/7. I can't wait to see the movie. Antonio Banderas is a perfect choice.
ReplyDeletehere's a trivia for you: J.Lo was originally supposed to play the role that went to Binoche later on :)
DeleteOh My!!! That would have been a tragedy. I like to look at JLo but she ain't much of an actress.
Deleteshe was good at the beginning, she was actually critically acclaimed and won awards with Selena... but then she met Pi Diddy and the rest is superficial history :)
DeleteOoo, some of my favorite actors are in Dragon Blade!
ReplyDeletequite an unusual casting for sure
DeleteLos 33 is a movie we will definitely watch.
ReplyDeletewe positively must
DeleteLos 33 looks intense. I'd like to see that. Tale of Tales looks stunning.
ReplyDeletewe do love them visually stunning!
DeleteI want to see 33!
ReplyDeleteyou have our official permission!
DeleteI'll see Dragon Blade when I can get it. Brody, Chan and Cusack aren't actors one would expect to see together and Chan really the only one you'd expect to see in this kind of action film.. Should be interesting.
ReplyDeleteTale of Tales is quite unusual. It's like a carnival of the grotesque, where every twisted imaginings spring to life and roam free. Me wants to see it :0)
I shall most definitely torrent it when I find it :) and might burn it for you if I manage to find it before the VICIOUS finishes... I'm waiting for the end of the season to send them to you :) Freddy has proposed to Stuart in the last episode :))
DeleteFreddy proposes! How exciting. Then next season we will see the hilarity of wedding planning gone horribly wrong!
Deletebut, sadly, this second season is a bit boring... it ain't as good asthe first one, since they moved into other exteriors too, while before they were in just their living room and focused on hilarious dialogues.
DeleteLos 33 is one I have been looking forward to seeing. The trailer had me almost as captivated as the news coverage. And I do love Antonio!
ReplyDeleteand we love Rodrigo too :) I winced when that woman slapped him in the trailer... I can imagine better places to slap him other than his face :)
DeleteYou are so naughty, Dezzy! Though I do like your train of thought ;)
DeleteI'm instructed by the Luciphur himself :)
DeleteI figured they'd make a movie about that mine collapse. That one's going to be a hit!
ReplyDeleteno doubt!
DeleteI like them but especially Dragon Blade - you know me and Asian movies!!!
ReplyDeleteit will be such a thrill watching it! Can't wait to download it!
DeleteI still love Salma's Hayek!
ReplyDeleteand Hayek's Salma too, I hope..
DeleteOf course.
Deletenaturally
DeleteIf only they were natural.... which, naturally, they're not.
DeleteSalma's are 100% natural, grown and raised in Mexico :) She shot a movie here last year... her natural wonders saw the natural wonders of Serbia :)
DeleteThey're real? No kidding. I'm jealous of the natural wonders of Serbia for having witness the natural wonders of Ms. Hayek's.
Deletebut we didn't like her much here because she took her boobs down to Kosovo to entertain US troops there.... disgusting...
