When you've got a couple of old-fashioned screen vets like Sylvester Stallone and Robert De Niro channeling their iconic boxing characters in a comedy like Grudge Match, it makes sense to go old school on the marketing. A handful of cool vintage posters have been released for the film, which has the Rocky and Raging Bull stars as rivals drawn into one last big money fight. Ok, the idea for these posters is cool but the Photoshopping on the first one is rather horrid. Grudge Match co-stars Kevin Hart, Alan Arkin, Jon Bernthal, Kim Basinger, and opens Christmas Day.
"You're never quite ready for what life delivers", but handling this rather boring poster for Vince Vaughn's Delivery Man should be easy. A remake of the hit Canadian comedy Starbuck, and helmed by its director Ken Scott, the film follows a well-meaning but irresponsible guy who learns that his donated sperm has been used to father 533 kids, and they all want to meet their daddy. Delivery Man gets delivered November 22nd and co-stars Cobie Smulders, Chris Pratt, Britt Robertson, and Jack Reynor.
Chances are you may have forgotten about Hours, the Hurricane Katrina thriller starring Paul Walker. Or perhaps the phrase "Hurricane Katrina thriller starring Paul Walker" is the reason you've brushed it from memory. Marking the directorial debut of Eric Heisserer, writer on The Thing remake, the film co-stars Genesis Rodriguez and centers on a father who must keep his newborn child alive as the storm ravages New Orleans. Hours opens on December 13th, and you can check out a trailer for it here.
It's been five years since James Gray's vastly underrated Two Lovers, and unfortunately most of his eager fans will have to wait until next year for his follow-up, The Immigrant. Those who live in France have all the luck as the star-studded historical drama opens there next month, while we have to settle for this poster. Jeremy Renner, Marion Cotillard, and Joaquin Phoenix lead the turn-of-the-century film about a poor immigrant named Ewa (Cotillard) who arrives in America with her sick sister. In her desperation to get help she falls under the sway of a pimp (Phoenix) who forces her into prostitution. Renner plays a magician who may be Ewa's last hope for salvation.
And here's a vibrant international poster for the internationally-flavored Rio 2, featuring the voices of Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway. The colorful sequel catches up with rare Macaw birds Jewel and Blu as they've uprooted their new family from domestication and headed into the Amazonian rainforest. Rio 2 escapes its cage on April 11th 2014.
