Welcome back to the Movie Media column featuring trailers, posters, and clips for upcoming films. Some are nice and fresh and some aren't. However, they all have something in common: for better or worse, they all caught my attention. If there is a poster or trailer you think I should check out, be sure to let me know.
This week's movie goodies include posters, stills, and trailers for a few upcoming summer hits, indie flicks, a sequel for Shakespeare, an upcoming sci-fi flick, and more!
Baghead - Poster, Stills, Trailer
"What is the scariest thing you can think of?"
"Well, I had a dream about a man with a sack over his head."
There is the seed from which this movie springs. It is the story of a group of friends who go to a family member's cabin in the woods to write a screenplay together. It is a thriller and a comedy all rolled into one, and it looks really good. It strikes me as actually being an original idea. I am looking forward to checking it out.
Largo Winch - Poster, Trailer
Ever heard of Largo Winch? Me neither. Apparently, it is a film coming out next December in France and it is based on a graphic novel. Prior to this, the Largo character had been the subject of a pair of mini-series on German television. On top of that, there seems to be at least some English in the French film, indicating an eye towards the international (read: American) market. From my limited research, Largo is the illegitimate son of an industrialist who did not do everything by the book. When things go down, Largo is put in charge. Now, Largo is trying to put things right, finding plenty of trouble along the way. Funny thing, when I see the poster, I picture the anime character Lupin III.
