The image for the teaser movie poster for Quentin Tarantino’s new film has been released. The release date for “Inglorious Basterds” is set for release in June of 2009. The new movie is Tarantino’s re-imagining of Enzo G. Castellari's violent war film of the same name from 1977.

Click here to see the movie posters from the first film which starred Fred Williamson and Bo Svenson. We have learned that the story line new film will be a departure from the original. It is very likely that it will at least have the amount of onscreen blood and guts.

“Up” – Pixar Studios

We have the first teaser movie poster for the upcoming Pixar film, Up. From the Academy Award®-nominated team of director Pete Docter ("Monsters, Inc.") and co-director Bob Peterson comes “Up," a comedy adventure lifting off in summer 2009. Carl Fredricksen (Edward Asner) spent his entire life dreaming of exploring the world and experiencing a full life. But at age 78, with life seeming to have passed him by, until a twist of fate (and a eager 8-year old Wilderness Explorer named Russell – Jordon Nagai) gives Carla new lease on life. Up takes audiences on a thrilling journey where the unlikely pair run across villains, crazy landscapes and wild jungle creatures.

"Zack and Miri Make a Porno" – Kevin Smith

Kevin Smith made a movie with such a troublesome title he can’t even place ads or movie posters for it in some places. The original teaser movie poster was banned from display when it was released at the Toronto Film Festival. The first movie poster offended the MPAA and the insisted it stop being distributed. This came after the MPAA first slapped the film with a “kiss of death” NC 17 rating. Writer-director Kevin Smith was able to convince the MPAA to change to an “R” rating.

The teaser movie poster looks pretty innocuous to us although the reverse placement of the “from behind” head shots in the bottom center might be cause for somebody to get upset. Thankfully it appears some foreign distributors don’t seem too concerned about the content. Click here to view the banned movie poster in Greek.

In response to the banning of the teaser movie poster, the studio released a movie poster using “stick figures”. One of the movie posters had the text “made a movie so outrageous we can’t even tell you the title”. The other movie poster had the text “Made a movie so titillating we can only show you this drawing”:

I guess one might imagine that these two movie posters were a big screw you to the MPAA for being such prudes. Finally, they have now released a third and what appears to be final movie poster in Russian.

Angels and Demons

The movie poster for the new film “Angels and Demons” was released this week.  The film is based on the popular novel by Dan Brown. It is the prequel to “The Da Vinci Code” where Tom Hanks will reprise the role of Robert Langdon who gets up to all kinds of fun new intrigue at the Vatican. Let’s hope this movie turns out to be better than its woeful predecessor. If you remember “The Da Vinci Code” premiered at Cannes in 2006. Director Ron Howard and the producers chose not to let the media and critics pre-screen the film. This was a bad sign. Keep an eye on the new movie to see if the same thing happens. The film will be released on May 15th, 2009.

Schindler's List: Saul Bass Movie Poster Design

Moviegoods has obtained some very rare copies of the Saul Bass designed movie poster for the film “Schindler’s List”. These have come from the private collection of movie poster designer, Tom Martin. It was Tom Martin’s final design that was ultimately chosen for the final movie poster.  Saul Bass was infamous for his career work on film titles, trailers and movie poster design.

We have been told that Steven Spielberg asked Saul Bass (who was 73 years-old at the time) to submit a design for the movie poster. Approximately 200 movie posters were produced at the time and only given to studio insiders.  We believe that this was the last movie poster that Saul Bass ever designed. Get it now (we only have a few) for a special price of $399.99.
