Here’s the Sundance poster for Aussie crime flick Animal Kingdom.
Even though I’m Australian I don’t typically get excited about our own products, but Animal Kingdom certainly intrigues me. Hopefully I’ll get a chance to see it soon.

Here’s the trailer for the insanely awesome looking Red Riding.
Red Riding is a trilogy of feature length films adapted from four book written by David Peace (each one dealing with a specific year) concerning the events surrounding the Yorkshire Ripper murders in England during the 1970s. The three films originally aired on Channel 4 in England back in March and are set to open theatrically in the US in February. I assume each one will be shown separately instead of having all three back to back as this would be a very long viewing experience.
The whole trilogy can already be purchased on DVD from Amazon UK right here.
Here’s a real long redband trailer/promo for Casey Affleck’s upcoming drama The Killer Inside Me.
I really like Casey Affleck and this certainly seems to be one of the darkest characters he’s played. Plus the presence of Kate Hudson and Jessica Alba is an added bonus.
Here’s the new poster for Kate Beckinsale’s upcoming crime/thriller Whiteout.
The film tells the story of U.S. Marshal Carrie Stetko (Kate Beckinsale) who tracks a killer in Antarctica, as the sun is about to set for six months.
It sounds kinda cool until you realise that Beckinsale has never made a good film. Sure The Aviator was good, but the greatness of that film rested on Leonardo DiCaprio and Martin Scorsese, not on her relatively minor role. And don’t even get me started on the shitness of the Underworld flicks. Lycans? Why not just call them werewolves. That’s what they are.

Here’s the trailer for Peter Jackson’s latest flick The Lovely Bones.
The story, adapted from the novel by Alice Sebold, centres on a young girl who has been murdered and watches over her family – and her killer – from heaven. She must weigh her desire for vengeance against her desire for her family to heal.
Despite my almost universal dislike of Mark Wahlberg (the only good thing he’s ever done is Boogie Nights) I think that this looks pretty damn impressive. The crapness of Wahlberg is offset by the brilliant Rachel Weisz and Michael Imperioli, the supremely creepy looking Stanley Tucci, and the fantastical special effects. Not to mention that it’s directed by one of the best directors working today (even though I think the LOTR trilogy are vastly overated).
The film is due for release on 11th December.
They may be in Korean, but these three news posters for the upcoming Denzel Washington and John Travolta crime thriller, The Taking of Pelham 123 look pretty damn cool if you ask me.
I’m not super excited about the flick, which tells the story of armed men hijacking a New York City subway train, holding the passengers hostage in return for a ransom, and turning an ordinary day’s work for dispatcher Walter Garbe (Denzel Washington) into a face-off with the mastermind behind the crime, but I’ll probably check it out when it’s opens on 12th June. After all, Brian Helgeland is a good writer, and Tony Scott knows how to do action filled with smash cuts.

I stumbled across these four poster variants for the new Johnny Depp film, Public Enemies, and thought I’d put them up here. Sorry for the misalignment of the thumbnails, I think it’s just a problem with Lightbox, but they will display properly when enlarged.
I’m not sure how new they are so some of you guys may have seen them before, regardless of that it’s still nice to have them all in one place. They definitely seem to fit the mood of the film very well.
Public Enemies opens on 1st July.
