Pop Culture Roundup 01 (UPDATED)
by TeemunnyPublished on Thursday, July 21, 2011
Here is a taste to get the geek and fanboy hype-machine rolling.
Freshly deployed is the teaser poster for The Dark Knight Rises, direct from the movie’s website (download in high resolution). Movieline has a short piece on the similarity of the themes of the one-sheets of recent Christopher Nolan films.
Also recently released were a couple of production photos of zombies from Season 2 of The Walking Dead. Zombies are scary.
Also “leaked” was a close-up pic of the Spider-Man costume from The Amazing Spider-Man starring Andrew Garfield. This Spidey looks way cooler, it has a rubbery texture like a basketball in lieu of the ridiculous and over-designed raised metal (?) webbing of Raimi’s Spidey. This pic was tweeted by Anthony Stark (Iron Man), no joke!
Cannot wait until 2012…
UPDATE 1: Warner Bros. Pictures’ and Legendary Pictures’ new trailer for The Dark Knight Rises, the epic conclusion to filmmaker Christopher Nolan’s Batman trilogy. The goosebump-inducing teaser and trailer was featured during the coming attractions for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2. In it, we see original footage of a broken and bed-ridden Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) pleading for the Batman to come back, there’s a clear glimpse of Bane (Tom Hardy), and at the end, there’s a lasting shot of an out-of-breath (beaten?) Batman retreating from a dogfight, as a figure, what appears to be Bane, is lumbering towards him. Check out the video at the header above. It sends chills, looks to be a great ending to an amazing trilogy.
UPDATE 2: The other night, AMC debuted a shocking teaser for The Walking Dead Season 2 during the broadcast of the premier of the fourth season of Breaking Bad. Here it is below:
UPDATE 3: During the San Diego Comic Con, Marvel has released the teaser poster for The Avengers movie that is releasing May 4, 2012.
UPDATE 4: Sony has released the trailer for The Amazing Spider-Man directed by Marc Webb, the guy that brought you (500) Days of Summer. This version of Spider-Man seems to be darker, laconic and a bit brooding. Call it The Christopher Nolan Effect. We certainly prefer it to the tone of the Sam Raimi films which became a bit goofy and forgettable.
