Cowboys & Aliens Teaser Movie Poster #2 and Trailer

While we’re still over six months away from the premiere of Cowboys & Aliens, the film’s marketing is really starting to ramp up! First the official Cowboys & Aliens trailer was released a few weeks ago, and now a second C&A one sheet teaser movie poster has been unveiled. Strangely, both posters feature Daniel Craig with his face hidden. You’d think they’d want to start featuring their star’s steely gaze and piercing blue eyes. The Blot’s also hoping for a few character one sheet movie posters featuring Olivia Wilde (and maybe even Harrison Ford).



Cowboys & Aliens, directed by Jon Favreau, will premiere in the summer of 2011.

Cowboys & Aliens Teaser Movie Poster

The Blot’s never read the Cowboys & Aliens graphic novel, I’m nevertheless very excited for the upcoming live action movie adaptation if for no other reason than the film’s director and cast. The Cowboys & Aliens film is being directed by Jon Favreau and features a veritable who’s who of The Blot’s favorite actors, including Daniel Craig, Harrison Ford, Olivia Wilde, Sam Rockwell, Paul Dano, Keith Carradine and Walton Goggins. Cowboys & Aliens is shaping up to be the next big comic book based summer blockbuster!

Then again, it’s going to have some really stiff competition for that title next summer from a number of more “mainstream” comic book franchises. While Cowboys & Aliens is not scheduled for release until sometime during summer 2011, its very first trailer will be unveiled by Universal Studios tomorrow. So keep your eyes peeled on The Blot Says… tomorrow for the new Cowboys & Aliens trailer!

James Bond 007: Quantum of Solace Final Theatrical One Sheet Movie Poster

While I have always enjoyed the 007 film franchise and really loved 2006’s re-start of the series starring Daniel Craig as the debonair British secret agent James Bond, nothing I’ve seen concerning the Quantum of Solace has really gotten me excited for this, the 22nd James Bond film.


The trailer made the film look just like any other generic action flick and the movie’s final theatrical one sheet promo poster (which you can see above) is a total snoozer. The color of it is bland and worst of all, it’s just plain boring. Didn’t anyone tell Craig that Bond always holds his gun up in the films’ movie posters? I think if the franchise is really trying to regain that old school, retro feel they should have gone back to the 70’s style James Bond movie posters with those groovy multi-colored illustrations.

Quantum of Solace sneaks into theaters on November 14, 2008.

Bond, James Bond

EON Productions and the Broccoli family have finally released the first teaser promotional poster for the 22nd installment of the 007 franchise, Quantum of Solace. This just might be the worst title for a Bond film ever, but it’s pretty hard to compete with classic Bond titles such as Octopussy and Moonraker.


The problem I’m having with the movie’s title is that every time I read or hear about Quantum of Solace I keep picturing the Pontiac Solstice, and that can’t be the connection they’re aiming for. Thankfully Daniel Craig is returning for his second film as Ian Fleming’s James Bond, so I’m anticipating this movie will be as good or better than 2006’s Casino Royale.
