We’ve got two very cool posters for you tonight for some great looking movies coming our way. First up is GOOD KILL, the new film from writer/director Andrew Niccol (GATTACA, LORD OF WAR) starring Ethan Hawke. The movie premieres tonight at the Toronto International Film Festival and the one sheet is looking very nice. The great minimal poster definitely got my attention; check out the synopsis and tell us what you think.
The film tells the story of a Las Vegas fighter-pilot turned drone-pilot (Ethan Hawke), who fights the Taliban via remote control for half of his day, then goes home to his wife (January Jones) and kids in the suburbs for the other half. But the pilot is starting to question the mission. Is he creating more terrorists than he’s killing? Is he fighting a war without end? One soldier’s tale with epic implications.
Collider premiered the first poster for Chad Stahelski’s JOHN WICK which is having its premier at Fantastic Fest this month. Keanu Reeves stars and gets front and center attention on this awesome poster; and don’t forget to check the first image we showed of Reeves in action. If the movie is anything like the poster, it’s going to be a slick thriller. It opens October 24, 2014.
JOHN WICK also stars Michael Nyqvist, Alfie Allen, Adrianne Palicki, Dean Winters, Bridget Moynahan, Ian McShane, John Leguizmo, and Willem Dafoe. Here is the synopsis for: An ex-hitman comes out of retirement to track down the gangsters that took everything from him. With New York City as his bullet-riddled playground, JOHN WICK (Keanu Reeves) is a fresh and stylized take on the “assassin genre”.
BONUS: I’m in such a good mood tonight; I’ve even added the new poster for ANNIE for you to check out below. Look at all those smiles – wait a minute. Cameron Diaz, sure she can have a sour look, she’s the antagonist, but what about that dog? What the hell did they do to that dog to make it look so miserable!? Oh right, this movie.
The film stars Quvenzhané Wallis (BEASTS OF THE SOUTHERN WILD) in the title role as a young, happy, street-tough foster kid living with the mean Miss Hannigan (Cameron Diaz) who is taken in by New York mayoral candidate Will Stacks (Jamie Foxx) in a thinly veiled campaign move.
The film also stars Rose Byrne, Bobby Cannavale, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, and David Zayas. ANNIE opens on December 19th 2014.
