The Original Movie Posters Blog - Art of the Movies

Two months have passed since the reopening of cinemas and the latest UK Cinema Association's attendance figures show that attendance has only grown to 15% of the pre-virus level.

Let's take a look at what we have been watching instead, safe within our homes, with the Top 10 films streamed in the U.K. in September, with help from our friends at JustWatch...

With over 12 million copies sold Frank Herbert's 'Dune' is the best-selling science-fiction novel of all time.

Despite being a cult favourite, David Lynch's 1984 adaptation disappointed many fans and movie goers.

It would take a brave director to step up to the plate and give the book a 21st Century movie. Luckily, Denis Villeneuve is some director.

Due out in December 2020, a new trailer has just been released for 'DUNE' - watch it here!

It's here! A brand new trailer for Bond 25 'No Time To Die', now scheduled to hit the big screen in November.

There is even a new poster design too...

Enjoy!

As we published our 'Look Ahead At The 2020 Blockbusters', who could have predicted that cinemas would be closed for five months?

It probably needs an epic from a major director to encourage us back.

Who better than Christopher Nolan (The Dark Knight, Interstellar, Dunkirk, Inception) to tempt us with the first Corona era Blockbuster - TENET!

This weekend DC treated us to two brand new trailers!

Gal Gadot returns as Diana Prince in 'Wonder Woman 1984' and we get a first glimpse of Robert Pattinson as a rebooted Caped Crusader in 'The Batman'...

Enjoy!

Especially now, movies are as important as ever. We all need some escapism and many of us are getting our film fix at home. Many are even turning a small corner of our home in to a home cinema / theatre.

But what are we watching?

We turned to our friends at streaming search engine justwatch to find out...

For those of us of a certain age, it is unbelievable that is over thirty years since we first met ‘Bill S. Preston Esq.’ and ‘Ted Theodore Logan’.

Slated for release in August, “Bill and Ted Face The Music” promises to be a long awaited laugh in these most troubled of times.

The first trailer and a glimpse of the advance movie poster were released last week.

See them here!

On the 4th March 2020 a seven month delay to the release of Bond 25 “No Time To Die” was announced. We took a deep breathe. 

Over the coming days, the scale of the global pandemic became clear and one-by-one studios announced delays to their 2020 blockbuster releases.

With the caveat that no one really knows what will happen over the coming months, here are the currently forecast release dates and the latest trailers for the best of those movies.

Given that in last week’s post we focused on the Bond movies, I make no apology for plugging Mark Kermode’s Secrets of Cinema once again.

In the latest (and final episode of the series) he takes us on a fascinating journey through the spy movie...

A few months ago, long before any of the current madness descended, we enjoyed an amazing evening at our local independent cinema. Not to watch a movie, but to virtually visit the theatre and to watch the amazing James Corden in ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’. 

With the social distancing lock-down in place, you can’t visit the National Theatre, nor can you watch one of their productions in the cinema, but, thanks to National Theatre At Home, starting this week, you can watch ‘One Man, Two Guvnors’ from the comfort of your own arm-chair...

Since the turn of the century, few directors have established as distinctive a cinematic vision as Wes Anderson.

We were excited to see the release of a new trailer for his upcoming movie "The French Dispatch", or, more correctly "The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun".

You can watch it (and see the amazing movie poster), here...
