Poster: Alvin and the Chipmunks
Coming to theaters everywhere this Christmas, it is those inimitable chipmunks that plagued the dreams of many children of the 80's. I don't know about you, but when I was but a wee little guy, I enjoyed my share of the Chipmunks, even owning a couple of the LPs, how could anyone forget the classic Urban Chipmunk? Anyway, they are turning it into a live action movie, and the poster has arrived. It is nothing particularly special, but it does show the trio with a more modern attitude, which is probably not a good thing. I do think they got the casting right, Jason Lee (My Name is Earl) seems right for the role of David Seville, and they have the original voices with Ross Bagdasarian Jr. as Alvin and Simon, and Janice Karman as Theodore (she also costarred in the grindhouse classic Switchblade Sisters).

Poster, Trailer: The Invasion
This summer is bringing with it another version of the classic Invasion of the Body Snatchers tale. This time it has been given a modern day veneer, complete with a space shuttle playing a part. Simply titled The Invasion, director Oliver Hirschbeigl's (Downfall, Das Experiment) version stars Nicole Kidman and James Bond... sorry, Daniel Craig. The trailer looks good, the poster looks mind numbingly dull. Kidman isn't a guarantee, but I have enjoyed Craig's recent work and Hirschbeigl has proven his strength as a director. I am looking forward to seeing if this pays off. Here are the poster and trailer:
