New Posters for 'Magic Mike XXL', 'The Peanuts Movie', 'Ted 2', and 'Black Mass'


Jada Pinkett Smith struts her stuff on a new Magic Mike XXL character poster. Yes, there are women in this thing, too. Hopefully that means we'll be getting an Amber Heard poster soon. Pinkett plays a club owner who crosses paths with Mike and the rest of the boys. She joins Channing Tatum, Joe Manganiello, Adam Rodriguez, Elizabeth Banks, Michael Strahan, Matt Bomer, Andie MacDowell, and more in the July 1st release. SYNOPSIS: Picking up the story three years after Mike bowed out of the stripper life at the top of his game, “Magic Mike XXL” finds the remaining Kings of Tampa likewise ready to throw in the towel. But they want to do it their way: burning down the house in one last blow-out performance in Myrtle Beach, and with legendary headliner Magic Mike sharing the spotlight with them. On the road to their final show, with whistle stops in Jacksonville and Savannah to renew old acquaintances and make new friends, Mike and the guys learn some new moves and shake off the past in surprising ways.



Pig Pen, the dirtiest member of the Charles M. Schulz's Peanuts crew, gets his own character poster. The Peanuts Movie is produced by Paul Feig and directed by Steve Martino, and the animation has really captured the look and feel of the old Peanuts cartoons and comic strips. The film opens in 3D on November 6th. SYNOPSIS: Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Lucy, Linus and the rest of the beloved “Peanuts” gang make their big-screen debut, like they’ve never been seen before, in state of the art 3D animation. Snoopy, the world’s most lovable beagle ­ and flying ace ­embarks upon his greatest mission as he takes to the skies to pursue his arch-nemesis The Red Baron, while his best pal, Charlie Brown, begins his own epic quest.  From the imagination of Charles M. Schulz and the creators of the ICE AGE films, THE PEANUTS MOVIE will prove that every underdog has his day. 



If anybody would be in favor of legalizing marijuana, it would be Seth MacFarlane's crude, crass, pot-smokin' bear, Ted. The trouble-making teddy bear is back and facing some kind of legal trouble in Ted 2, which brings back Mark Wahlberg as his human pal John, and brings in new characters played by Amanda Seyfried, Morgan Freeman, and Liam Neeson. In this film Ted is actually looking to have a baby with Tammy Lynn (Jessica Barth), but to do it he has to go to court. Ooookay. Ted 2 opens June 26th.


Wow, the people are going nuts over the first trailer for Black Mass, which stars Johnny Depp as real life gangster, Whitey Bulger. It's definitely showcasing a different, more menacing side of Depp than we've ever seen, and that's got his fans excited to see if the film delivers. Let's hope so. For now, feat on this new poster for the film that shows off some of Bulger's handywork. Directed by Scott Cooper, Black Mass opens September 18th. SYNOPSIS: BLACK MASS tells the true story of Whitey Bulger, the brother of a state senator and the most infamous violent criminal in the history of South Boston, who became an FBI informant to take down a Mafia family invading his turf.  However, after the Feds closed in on their targets, they double crossed Bulger and ultimately prosecuted him, along with his partner in crime and the original FBI agent working with him.
