Tuesday, June 24, 2008 at 10:45AM 'Dragonball', 'Earth Stood Still,' and 'RocknRolla' Posters from Cinema Expo
Yesterday, the new poster for
G.I. Joe made its way around
the internet. It was spotted at
Cinema Expo in Amsterdam, and apparently, that's
the place to be for new movie posters.
Check out the three found there yesterday by
Worst
Previews:
First, because this ought to be pretty good, we have
The
Day the Earth Stood Still, a remake of the honest-to-goodness alien invasion
movie from the post-Roswell UFO era. As you can tell from the poster, it stars
Keanu Reeves.

Do we get our money back if the movies suck? Just kidding. :)
True, these are very good posters, but I'm curious what you mean by "this ought to be pretty good" when referring to The Day the Earth Stood Still. If you just mean the poster, that's fine. But how can you possibly have high hopes for Keanu's potential butchering of a classic?
I don't think he'll butcher it, not that he has all that much to do with the part that would be butchered. But face it, watching the original makes you wish certain elements of the production were a little more believable.
It's been over 50 years and I think the time is right enough for a remake. Also, look at Keanu over the past few years: It's a pretty good crop of movies (with the exception of the third Matrix, but again, that's not really his burden). Even Street Kings was pretty good.
Touche, Colin, and I may risk an astronomical amount of "cyber" tomatoes being hurled at me a la The Muppet Show's Fozzie Bear for admitting this but I've never quite understood the outrageous level of disdain people have for Reeves. He's no De Niro but it's not like he's Tom Green or something. In the right roles-- like the wise-cracking "shoot the hostage" gum chewing cop in Speed or in the first Matrix, he's actually pretty good. Okay, I'm preparing to duck for the backlash now...
I'm not saying he's a great actor, just that his taste in scripts is surprisingly good.
I want to like the DBZ movie, I really really do, I just cant. Look at it, how is that DBZ? Just have a long wait until the first trailer hits then all will be clear.
At the risk of having my house firebombed by a bunch of angry anime fans, yes, it looks awful. Original Street Fighter awful.
I love DBZ. And I don't know about that movie. Did you ever see the Mark Hamill Guyver movie? Jesus that was bad. This looks little like that. Why make a live action DBZ movie other than "Let's make some money"?
