OK, people, we haven't done this in a long time, although I know you like it: we're having a photo day today here at HOLLYWOOD SPY, since a bunch of new posters and promo pics have been released for the upcoming projects. First, you can check out the first poster for this September's
JUDGE DREDD remake, which will see always amazing
Karl Urban playing a futuristic cop who also deals justice and sentences at the spot of the crime. I think a trailer for the film is in due order since there are only a few months left till the premiere. The film also stars
Lena Headey from GAME OF THRONES as the main
villain, but the sad news is that Karl will be wearing Dredd's helmet in each second of the sf movie.
PACIFIC RIM SF EPIC
Here's another great picture for today: the exclusive first picture of
Idris Elba in
Guillermo del Toro's sf epic
PACIFIC RIM. He does look rather great in the sf costume, doesn't he? Hitting cinemas next year in summer: when legions of monstrous creatures, known as Kaiju, started rising from the sea, a war began that would take millions of
lives and consume humanity’s resources for years on end. To combat the giant Kaiju, a special type of weapon was devised: massive robots, called Jaegers, which are controlled simultaneously by two pilots whose minds are locked in a neural bridge. But even the Jaegers are proving nearly defenceless in the face of the relentless Kaiju.
MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN
First artwork has been released for
MR. PEABODY AND SHERMAN animated film which hits cinemas in spring 2014. Based on
Jay Ward's classic cartoon, Mr. Peabody is the world's smartest person
who happens to be a dog. When his "pet" boy Sherman uses their time traveling WABAC machine without permission, events in history spiral out of control. It's up to this most unexpected of "father-son" teams to somehow put things back on track before the space-time continuum is irreparably destroyed.
THE WALKING DEAD
All of you, and that would be half of the world, who are obsessed with
THE WALKING DEAD smash hit series, will be excited to see the first picture of David Morrissey as the Governor, a new character who will appear in the third season in order to give sheriff Rick (
Andrew Lincoln) lots of trouble. As you remember the very end of the second season finished with the look upon a strange domed settlement. It is called Woodbury, it is another settlement of survivors and the Governor is its tyrannical leader. The creators of the show have announced that the character will be nuanced, but pure evil and will be a big series villain.
NEW PINOCCHIO
Then there are also the first concept art pictures from
Guillermo del Toro's
PINOCCHIO. This 3D stop-motion animation adaptation of the famous tale will see him joining forces with
The Jim Henson Co. You should expect a gritty version, since Del Toro said: "The Blue Fairy is really a dead girl's spirit. Pinocchio has strange moments of lucid dreaming bordering on hallucinations, with black rabbits. The sperm
whale that swallows Pinocchio was actually a giant dogfish, which allows for more classical scale and design. The many mishaps Pinocchio goes through include several near-death close calls, a lot more harrowing moments."
