Official TRON LEGACY Posters Released

Disney released the official TRON: Legacy movie poster this week, and it is a great take on the original theatrical release poster from 1982.

Tron Legacy is one of the most anticipated movies of the year, which isn't surprising considering the massive amount of marketing material that Disney has put out for the film.

Anyway, you can check out the new posters (via Screen Rant) below and eagerly await until December 17 for this sequel to be released.

Lucas Lee Movie Posters (From Scott Pilgrim vs The World)

Scott Pilgrim VS The World opens this weekend, and gfest couldn't be more excited.  The series of books was fantastic, but the marketing campaign around the movie has been outstanding. 

Now Team Pilgrim has released a fake viral campaign for the movies within the movie that star Lucas Lee, Ramona’s second evil ex-boyfriend played by Captain America Chris Evans.

We love them.  What do you think?

Walt Disney Releases TRON LEGACY Movie Poster

Walt Disney Pictures have dropped an international poster for the forthcoming Sci Fi 3D bonanza "Tron Legacy."  The poster features Jeff Bridges as the first film's hero Flynn, looking like he is in a Wachowski brothers movie. 

I remember the original "Tron" movie and back  in my day it was the coolest thing to come along since Ocean Pacific (OP) clothes.  Motorcycles and neon/black lights in 1982 were very cutting edge.  Plus, the video game (we had to leave home and play games in an arcade) was nothing short of mind blowing. 

I am very excited to see "Tron Legacy", but I am concerned that it may not translate to the younger demographic that it needs to capture to offset it's huge budget.  I grew up on "A-Team" television series and enjoyed the "A-Team" move, but we all know that movie flopped.   Hopefully, original special effects and very good 3D will carry this movie and allow it to find a younger fan base.  We'll wait and see.

Image Comics Announces Special, Super-Sized Chew #15

Imgae Comics Press release:
Image Comics' CHEW marks the first quarter of its run with a special 15th issue

CHEW is a certified hit, and to celebrate CHEW’s 15th issue, which marks the end of the first quarter of the book’s run and hits store shelves September 29, writer John Layman and artist Rob Guillory are thanking fans with a slew of special features.

“We wanted to do something really special for CHEW #15,” says Layman. “Honestly, we never thought we’d make it this far, and we wanted to do something above-and-beyond for the fans and retailers who have supported us.”

Layman adds, “We’re going 60 issues, and CHEW #15 is the quarter mark of the run. This is a big issue in a lot of ways. We introduce the last two remaining major supporting characters in the book, which would be eventful enough. But there are also a couple of shocking events — one so big, it’s really going to fundamentally change the book. So, we thought we’d commemorate the issue with something special. Extra pages. A tri-fold poster cover. And we’re giving you all the goodies for $2.99 — the same price as a regular issue of CHEW!”
“Nothing will be the same after CHEW #15,” declares Guillory. “That’s not hype. Not a gimmick. The status quo of this book is about to be annihilated.”

New 'Splice' Move Posters Released

Gfest was blown away when we saw the trailer for "Splice" prior to the showing of "Iron Man 2".  While you never got a good glimpse of the byproduct of the 'splice' but nonetheless it looked pretty damn cool.

Finally Warner Bros recently released this very odd international posters for the upcoming film “Splice” from producer (The Hobbit, Hellboy) by director Vincenzo Natali (High Rise, Cypher) and starring Adrien Brody (Fantastic Mr. Fox) and Sarah Polley (Mr. Nobody).

After viewing these weird and disturbing posters and you have no ideas about this movie here is a brief synopsis:

Clive and Elsa are young, brilliant and ambitious. The new animal species they engineered have made them rebel superstars of the scientific world. In secret, they introduce human DNA into the experiment. The result is something that is greater than the sum of its parts: a female animal-human hybrid that may be a step up on the evolutionary ladder. They think they may have created the perfect organism, until she makes a final shocking metamorphosis that could destroy them … and the rest of humanity.
