A while back we published a couple of posters for Burn After Reading that I thought were interesting. They made us take them down for whatever reason, but now we’ve got another one to show you. This one continues the artsy-retro sort of look.
"Sorry Mike, I got my big 'one month since we said I love you' celebration. Sammy's getting some hammy tonight." - Sam, Burn Notice
It was recently confirmed that Brad Pitt would be leading Quentin Tarantino’s band of Inglorious Bastards. A few other low key casting choices were announced as well. What we didn’t hear then was that Adam Sandler was offered a role in the film - and turned it down. We also didn’t hear until now that Mike Myers will be taking that role.
We’ve been reporting on the happenings of the latest Quentin Tarantino casting saga for a couple of months now. It was just about a month ago, in fat, that we first told you that Brad Pitt was in talks to headline the ensemble cast of Inglorious Bastards. We can now report that Pitt has agreed to star and we’re starting to get a good idea of who might co-star with him as well.
Looks like Eli Roth will be going to bat for Quentin Tarantino in his upcoming WWII, kill ‘em all and let God sort ‘em out, epic, Inglorious Bastards. Roth is probably better known for his writing than his acting, but he was also the director of Hostel and he’s done pretty much everything including producing.
There isn’t very much about the intended Robocop remake that has had me even a little bit excited…until now. The rumor currently going around that director Darren Aronofsky could possibly, maybe, hopefully, be the one to actually bring Robocop back to the masses has me thinking that I’d actually buy a ticket.
Not too long ago, we told you guys about the upcoming Christmas movie dubbed The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. It stars Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, along with Julia Ormond and Elle Fanning, and is directed by David Fincher.
There was a pirated teaser available for the movie at that time, but it was very, very ugly, and subtitled, so I withheld it from your eyes, in order to one day give it to you with the beauty and quality it deserves.
The first poster for Burn After Reading is absolutely awesome.
Posted first on Cinematical, I found it on First Showing where they tell us that the artwork for this poster is based off that of Saul Bass, who designed legendary posters for movies like Vertigo, West Side Story, North By Northwest and more. You can see some of those old posters over on First Showing.
We’ve been passing on any info we can on the upcoming new Coen brothers film called Burn After Reading. Jason posted some pictures awhile back, which gave us some great shots of Brad Pitt looking a lot younger.
With Pitt’s upcoming Curious Case of Benjamin Button and also this film, he seems posed to have a great year.
Having never heard of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button before I saw the teaser for it during the midnight showing of Indiana Jones, I had to research it because it was a stunning preview.
The film is a fantasy adapted from F. Scott Fitzgerald’s short story of the same name. The plot involves a man named Benjamin Button who is born old and ages backwards. From a small and crippled old man, he becomes young and begins to enjoy life as he gets married, has kids, ends up in high school, grade school and even younger.
It’s being reported that Marvel is kicking around the idea of Brad Pitt as Thor in the already announced movie of the comic book hero. The studio already has a script by Mark Petrosevich which is currently being trimmed down for budgetary reasons, but so far they don’t have a director or any actors attached.
