Hey all, Arrow here from Cannes! Did my yearly visit at the Cannes market today (slow market with wayyyy too many low budget films IMO) and caught a couple of nifty posters for upcoming cinematic oeuvres that may interest some of ya. And please tell me that I am not the only one FLOORED in a NEGATIVE way by the one sheet for the BAD LIEUTENANT remake starring NICOLAS CAGE. Sheesh! I thought that bit of news back then was a joke, I guess they in fact went on with it and made the film i.e. the joke is ON ME!


Should've called it "Bad Idea"! Come on Nick!


aka rent HEAT again instead!


Cannibals in the city? I'M THERE!


"Insert your own pun here"


I have no idea who this girl is but I dug the ripped jeans and its about catfights hence...


Could be something... FREE SNIPES!!!!


A new NINJA movie? About damn time!


Kilmer is in da club!


I see dead careers!

A movie called Ninja? I wonder what it's about.

Welcome to Genericville!
Meh. Most of those are too generic, although the Ninja poster's not as bad. And Streets of Blood reminds me too much of a Steven Segal movie poster. Oh, and 50 Cent's ugly mug is on it, which doesn't help.

i aint done yet
Missed Brooklyns Finest. Well Antouine Fuqua or whatever hasn't made a good movie since Training Day, and considering he's made a handful of movies since then I can officially say he's a shitty ass director. While this seems to be more in-line with something he can direct (urban cop/crime story) rather than fucking King Arthur or some magical fairy tale (or a Kennedy Assassination conspiracy ri...
Missed Brooklyns Finest. Well Antouine Fuqua or whatever hasn't made a good movie since Training Day, and considering he's made a handful of movies since then I can officially say he's a shitty ass director. While this seems to be more in-line with something he can direct (urban cop/crime story) rather than fucking King Arthur or some magical fairy tale (or a Kennedy Assassination conspiracy ripoff) then maybe it's good.

As for the poster, it's some people, assuming they're cops standing on some road with the longest trail of blood in history that they seem to be discussing. It's a pretty good picture for a Photography student, doesn't do much for the movie, but beats the fuck out of that 50 Cent movies poster..

I just don't know if they are talking about whether or not that blood trail is a new world record in length or if they are wondering who killed a fucking elephant.

Either way, I'm going to be pessimistic because Fuqua has consistently let me down after I have been hoping he'd make a movie as good as Training Day ever since then and he hasn't. The cast is good besides Snipes who is better off in jail and off my mother fuckin TV.

mostly shit
Bad Lieutenant poster is pretty generic but gritty and stylish enough to say "ok, I'll give it a try".

The font of Righeteous Kill doesn't help the relaxed poses of the two stars that makes this look like a light-hearted buddy cop comedy. WINNER OF THE SHITTIEST POSTER ON THIS ARTICLE AWARD.

Too many words on Cannibals, I don't want to read posters damnit! But othe...

Too many words on Cannibals, I don't want to read posters damnit! But other than that, seems eerie enough to work.

Lies and Illusions has an interesting poster thats easy to mock but good use of colours on symbols.

Wtf is Fight Night? Oh you mean the boxing game....yeah.

Ninja poster looks like it was made in 1992 for some cheesy ass straight to VHS production. Honestly metallic text died at the turn of the century. Sorry.

Speaking of old school shit posters, this 50 Cent movie looks like some sleazy 80's cop thriller from this poster. What the fuck are they wearing? And Val Kilmers hair? WTF, someone should tell him he should probably look where he's pointing his gun, not at the doggy taking a leak on a fire hydrant on the other side of the road. 50 Cent is also far too calm for a situation which requires drawing a gun..he is also making the best of his 1 facial expression.

And holy fuck Haley Joel Osment looks old! Why doesn't this kid either get a new agent or just become a drug addicted self destructive child star like all the rest? That way he might be remembered. As for this poster, well, it fits the sports movie bill, Shitty collage of random shit faded into each other, most importantly being the GLORIOUS expression of a sports players.

Well, either I'm too negative, or Cannes really sucks this year.

Holy crap, you're right. He does look like Jesse Lacey. That's creepy.

And how do you take a DeNiro-Pacino cop movie and give it such a lame poster? It almost takes skill to fail so badly.

I don't know how many readers here know about the band BRAND NEW. . .but Haley Joel Osment is a dead ringer for their lead singer in that poser. And that Streets Of Blood poster looks like shit to me.

Herzog and Cage and you complain?!
Sure Cage has made some fluffy crap lately, but with Herzog helming, Bad Lieutenant will surely outbad the original. Sounds like a great project.

Meh
Nothing here really interests me, except for the Ninja poster (if it is indeed related to Ninja Assassin.) The Righteous Kill poster makes it look like they're having a casual NY chat.

Is the NINJA poster Ninja Assasin?

FIGHT is under RIGGED at IMDB. I guess the girl on the poster is Rebecca Neuenswander who one site says is a "real life martial arts champion".
