MondoCon Exclusive Pulp Fiction Variant Screen Print by Laurent Durieux signed by Quentin Tarantino, Samuel L. Jackson & Tim Roth

Last November, in collaboration with Sundance Institute and the Sally Menke Fellowship, Mondo released a timed edition Pulp Fiction screen print by Laurent Durieux (originally seen here). For their release of the Variant Edition of this beautiful movie poster at MondoCon 2015 this weekend, Mondo has taken things to the next level. They’ve sent the entire run of variant prints to Quentin Tarantino to be signed by Quentin, Samuel L. Jackson and Tim Roth!!! The only sad part is that on their return back to Mondo in Austin these signed variant prints arrived slightly damaged. None of the damage affects the art and should frame out with no issue.

These epic variant Pulp Fiction prints will be sold exclusively at MondoCon 2015 at the Mondo booth. Limited to just 75 pieces, these Durieux prints will retail for $300 with 100% of the proceeds going to the Sally Menke Fellowship.

Cast & Crew Exclusive Captain America: The Winter Soldier Movie Poster by Paolo Rivera

After designing the Cast and Crew Exclusive Captain America: The First Avenger Movie Poster back in 2011, its fitting that Marvel would ask comic book artist Paolo Rivera back to also design the cast and crew exclusive poster for Captain America 2! All of the cast and crew members who worked on Captain America: The Winter Soldier got a copy of this exclusive retro movie poster. I love that Paolo stuck with the retro theme of his original poster, but went with a slightly more modern take. This design gives off a more 1970s vibe, don’t you think!?! Boy would The Blot love to get my hands on a copy of this poster!

Captain America: The Winter Soldier is scheduled to invade US theaters on April 4, 2014.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Final One Sheet Movie Poster

What The Blot loves about this final theatrical one sheet movie poster for Marvel’s Captain America: The Winter Soldier is how versatile it is! I’ve gotten my hands on three different versions of this poster, the US, UK and Japan editions, and each one is slightly different. The American version is actually my favorite because it’s the only one that shows Captain America with his signature mask.

While all three versions feature Captain America, Black Widow and Nick Fury prominently, it is interesting to note the main difference between the two international posters is they’ve substituted Winter Soldier for The Falcon. I wonder if what the reason for that change was? The Blot would have gone with including them both, but that’s just me!

Captain America: The Winter Soldier stars Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as The Falcon and Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce. Captain America 2 storms into theaters on April 4, 2014.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier IMAX Movie Posters

The last few summers IMAX has really upped its marketing of movies released in its signature Image MAXimum film format by producing some pretty sweet IMAX specific movie posters. They’ve even started giving out exclusive one sheet movie posters at their midnight screenings. IMAX has taken things one step further by releasing an entire set of red and black Captain America: The Winter Soldier character movie posters!

While the aesthetic is quite striking, it’s a little disappointing that all IMAX did for marketing campaign was trace the photos of Marvel’s original The Winter Soldier character movie poster set released earlier this year. Where’s the creativity in that one? At least they designed an all new Captain America 2 theatrical one sheet, which is really the coolest poster in the entire set!

The Captain America: The Winter Soldier IMAX Character Movie Poster Set includes Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Sebastian Stan as The Winter Soldier, Anthony Mackie as The Falcon and Robert Redford as Alexander Pierce. Captain America 2 storms into theaters on April 4, 2014.

Captain America: The Winter Soldier Teaser Character Movie Posters

It’s hard to imagine that The Blot would be this excited about a live action Captain America movie, much less a sequel. But here we are 6 years after the original Marvel film, Iron Man, and The Blot can’t get enough of these Marvel films. Not only is the original Captain America movie my favorite Marvel solo film to date, but the sequel, Captain America: The Winter Soldier, looks fantastic! It’s based on an amazing comic book story line, and introduces both The Falcon and The Winter Soldier to the Marvel Movie Universe. What’s not to love!?!

These brand new Captain America: The Winter Soldier teaser character movie posters Marvel unveiled yesterday look equally as bad ass. Yes they’ve been photoshopped to hell (ScarJo’s waste can’t possibly be that small), but I love them nevertheless. What can I say…I’m pumped for a proper S.H.I.E.L.D. adventure in Captain America 2! I'm trying to ignore that shell of a S.H.I.E.L.D. show currently airing on ABC.  Now when is the Black Widow getting her own film!?!

The Captain America: The Winter Soldier Teaser Character Movie Poster Set includes Chris Evans as Unmasked Captain America (Steve Rogers), Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow and Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury. Captain America 2 storms into theaters on March 26, 2014.

The Avengers Black Background Character Movie Posters

We’re just a few days away from the US premier of Marvel’s The Avengers and The Blot is getting antsy! It feels like the entire world has already seen this film already. I guess it’s payback for all the films that open in the United States first. To help get all you North American readers excited for the premier of The Avengers, check out this set of black background character movie posters. It includes a team one sheet, two banners and eight character movie posters. They’re all pretty great…simple and yet bold.

The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Mark Ruffalo as the Incredible Hulk, Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson and Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

The Avengers assemble in theaters on May 4, 2012.

The Avengers Movie Pop! Marvel Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads by Funko

The Blot got a really exciting email from Funko yesterday unveiling all of their tie-ins to this summer’s sure fire hit The Avengers! Funko’s The Avengers Movie Pop! Marvel Vinyl Figure Bobble Head Series includes Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, the Hulk and Nick Fury. These figures look awesome, and I can only hope this is just Wave 1 because I need me a Hawkeye Pop! Marvel figure something fierce.

Of the five figures seen here, the biggest surprise to me is the inclusion of Samuel L. Jackson’s Nick Fury. I was half expecting a bobble head of Scarlet Johansson’s Black Widow instead, but the figure does look spot on! Plus, since this is the only new character in the wave I’ve got a strong feeling fans are going to be going crazy for him. Each The Avengers Pop! Marvel vinyl figure bobble head stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. Pick one up for $9.99 when these Avengers assemble in stores starting on May 4th, 2012.

The Avengers Teaser Character One Sheet Movie Posters

Click on the photo above for a more detailed look

Last week Marvel finally updated the website for its upcoming live action movie The Avengers, which included releasing these awesome teaser character movie posters! The Avengers has one of the largest, star studded casts of any comic book film ever produced, which means its marketing department is going to need to create at least eight different one sheets for every character movie poster sets it releases. Thankfully they went for a pretty simple, yet effective design for these teaser movie posters, combining each hero and villain with the film’s trademark “A” logo.

The Avengers is sure to be one of the biggest hits of the summer of 2012, and it’s bringing some serious fire power with it (as you can tell from the movie posters in this set). The Avengers, directed by Joss Whedon, stars Robert Downey Jr. as Iron Man, Chris Evans as Captain America, Scarlett Johansson as Black Widow, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Jeremy Renner as Hawkeye, Samuel L. Jackson as Nick Fury, Cobie Smulders as Maria Hill, Mark Ruffalo as the Incredible Hulk, Clark Gregg as Agent Phil Coulson and Tom Hiddleston as Loki.

The Avengers Teaser Movie Poster - SDCC 2011

San Diego Comic-Con 2011 has officially begun and the leaks are already hitting the internet. Take, for example, the first one sheet movie poster for 2012’s The Avengers seen above. What is sure to be Marvel’s next summer blockbuster, The Avengers is going to be huge! The Blot can just feel it. How can you go wrong with a movie directed by Joss Whedon and starring Robert Downey Jr. (Iron Man), Chris Evans (Captain America), Chris Hemsworth (Thor), Scarlett Johansson (Black Widow), Samuel L. Jackson (Nick Fury), Jeremy Renner (Hawkeye) and Mark Ruffalo (Hulk).

The Avengers is scheduled to premiere in theaters on Friday, May 4, 2012.

The Spirit Final One Sheet Movie Poster

We’re just a few weeks away from the world premiere of Frank Miller’s adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit. In honor of the movie’s impending release, The Blot is excited to bring to you The Spirit’s final theatrical one sheet movie poster, which should be plastered in movie theaters around the US as we speak. The promos are airing nonstop on TV these days and the movie actually looks pretty good. How creepy does Samuel L. Jackson look as The Octopus? Sadly though, my guess is that most of America has already tuned out on this movie ever since that first trailer aired way back when.


If this movie can even pull off Sin City type success I would imagine everyone involved would be thrilled. Not sure why I feel this way, but I just don’t see this film pulling in super hero themed summer blockbuster type numbers. As much as I love Frank Miller, I believe his vision pulls in a very niche market and I can’t imagine this move even doing 300 winter blockbuster type numbers. But I could be wrong!

The Spirit premieres nationwide on Christmas 2008.

The Spirit Male Character Movie Posters

I can’t figure out what took so long for these new The Spirit character movie posters to be released. Especially since the first four The Spirit character movie posters, which featured the film's femme fatales, came out last June. Thankfully the movie’s hero and villain are finally being paid their due respect with these all new theatrical one sheet movie posters. The first poster features The Spirit’s star Gabriel Macht as Denny Colt a.k.a. The Spirit.


The second poster features the hardest working man in showbiz, Samuel L. Jackson, as the movie’s villain The Octopus. Both posters follow the trend of the The Spirit’s previous promo posters by incorporating the movie's script directly into the poster image. Here the lines of dialogue form the buildings in the posters’ backgrounds.


On a side note, it’s nice to see some additional shades of color finally making their way into The Spirit’s advertisements. For a movie that is supposedly not just black and white, so far all we’ve seen is a whole lot of black, white and red in the film's trailers and promotional artwork.

The Spirit hits theaters on Christmas 2008.

Marvel Announces Schedule of Future Movie Releases

Multiple sources are reporting that yesterday at its annual stockholders meeting Marvel announced its lineup of future comic book related, super hero movies and when they would be released in theaters. This coincides nicely with The Blot’s Iron Man post yesterday, since Marvel confirmed that Iron Man 2 is going to be produced and would hit theaters April 30, 2010. While “no casting decisions were made at the announcement, Iron Man star Robert Downey Jr. has said he’s interested in reprising his role and co-star Gwyneth Paltrow has said she is signed on for two more installments.” (link)

Also in the works is Thor, a movie based on the Norse god and directed by Matthew Vaughn, which is scheduled for released on June 4th, 2010. Following that, “Marvel is planting its feature film stakes for summer 2011 with an Avengers-themed summer – a two-picture project which will debut on May 6, 2011 with The First Avenger: Captain America (working title), followed by The Avengers in July 2011.” (link)


The Avengers movie was hinted at by a Samuel L. Jackson cameo (as Nick Fury), which appeared at the end of Iron Man’s closing credits. If you haven’t already seen Iron Man I strongly urge you to sit through the movie’s closing credits for this bonus scene between Jackson’s Fury and Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. I didn’t wait around and got stuck watching the scene from a blurry YouTube clip, which I can promise you is not the same as watching it in the theater.
