Doesn't "Hybrid" belong on the "Thinly Veiled Remakes" list?

*cough*CHRISTINE*cough*

Funny how it's followed by "The King's Speech" :)

I want to take all these posters, plaster them on my naked body with turpentine and lye and set myself on fire. After that though, Man on a Ledge would probably be the least painful.

do I really have to choose? they all look like crap based on the posters...

ok maybe man on a ledge based soley on the poster

Tree of Life

Man on a Ledge for design.

The King's Speech for cast (since it's listed on the poster, I think that counts)

The Illusionist! Because I have a real weakness for quirky french movies. They're happy, they're colorful, and they make me feel good for understanding the French jokes.

The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. All you need to see is Aslan's face and you know what movie it is and you know whether or not you're interested. Good stuff.

The last one. Because the poster told me it's directed by Sylvain Chomet, who made the Triplettes de Belleville. By the look of the lines in the drawing, it's going to feature the same elegant and fluid animation style. Or it could be a red herring. Going to look for a trailer now!

Man On A Ledge wins for design, although I probably won't see it.

I'll probably see The King's Speech and The Illusionist, but not because of the posters.

From the trusty IMDB synopsis, Man On a Ledge may be a little bit Phone Booth-y for my taste.
Also, it has Sam Worthington :(
AND Ed Harris :)
So... Maybe.

zzzzz...huh, what? Oh, I'm sorry. I fell asleep halfway down the list. They're all pretty dang boring aren't they? I guess Man on A Ledge is the most interesting but that's not saying much.

Man on a Ledge
The Illusionist
And The Gardener, if only for the "From the director of About a Boy."

The trailer for "The Illusionist" was posted around here ages ago and it will be spectacular.

Arthur Christmas, just for it's Wallace & Gromit vibe, Man on a Ledge and The Illusionists. The rest do absolutely nothing for me (except the tree one, which is so trealcy looking it make me heave a little).

That's a tough one. I want to say The Illusionist because I can just make out that it's another animated film by Sylvian Chomet, but The King's Speech has Helena Bonham-Carter in period-wear looking mischievous.

I can tell you I wouldn't want to watch The Voyage of the Dawn Treader based on that poster because Aslan shouldn't be the focus based on that book. They venture to try and find Aslan beyond the horizon, sure, but he's not the protagonist. Where is Reepicheep? Where? Is? REEPICHEEP?

Man on a Ledge and The Illusionist.

What's with the propensity to include bad lines on some of these posters? "Every father wants more for his son"? Malick's poster gets killed with "Nothing stands still".

Although I think I'd go see the Keanu movie. Because I'm not close enough to actually hug him. And because this looks like the beginning of his direct-to-DVD phase before he up and moves to Hawaiian obscurity.

Based on the posters, none of the above.

But, I'm interested in seeing The Voyage of the Dawn Treader because the book is actually kind of trippy. Among the voyagers' encounters are a corrupt remnant of the former Narnian empire, an island of dreams, an exiled wizard with a secret past, a reluctant dragon, and a mouse-keteer with an over-developed sense of chivalry.

Dawn Treader is kind of like Gulliver's Travels with a dusting of Through the Looking Glass. What's not to love.

I'm just now realizing that each of the books in The Chronicles of Narnia is a different kind of fantasy story. The collection is almost a syllabus. There's the children's accidental adventure in Faerie. There's the travelogue of rediscovery. There's the outcast with the big destiny coming of age. There's the corruption from inside / enchanted leader. There's the mystical, almost gnostic meditation across worlds. There's the end of the world, of course.

I never noticed that before now. I am so dum. D-U-M, dum.

I thought they were giving up on the Narnia movies? They've sucked pretty hard so far. The poster is dull; I don't remember a lot of snow in Dawn Treader, which was my favorite. I'm with Robert--Reepicheep kicks ass.

Cold Light of Day--wow, a lot of work went into that one. The choice of font, color...it's mindblowing.

Anything with 3D gets an automatic pass no matter how awesome the poster.

Like others have said, Man on a Ledge for the design work, and that coupled with the image gives me hope for something tense but meditative, like Falling Down, hopefully sans Michael Douglas' unsubtle performance.

Considering that most of these will probably be direct-to-DVD (or, close to it), I still don't even think I'd waste a spot on my Netflix queue for any of them. Based only on the movie posters, of course.

Kellan Lutz. Ashley Greene.
Am I supposed to know who they are? I'msofrigginold!

Man on a Ledge is a KILLER poster. Though The Gardener is also intriguing. Tree of Life? Meh. Cast list yes, but the art's dull.

10. The Gardener

Because it looks like a cover from The Criterion Collection, and I'll watch anything they endorse.

The Cold Light of Day
Brought to you by Ford Motor Company.
Built. Ford. Tough.

Should be amazing!

I can cheat here, because I've seen The Illusionist and it's beautiful and poignant and awesome.

Same as so many: Man On A Ledge has the poster, but it doesn't seem like anything that would float my boat in theatres. The King's Speech and The Illusionist I'd see in spite of their posters.

#3 and #10 were the only ones that caught my attention.

Then again, none of the posters had red and white lettering on black background which, for some reason, always catches my eye.

Dawn Treader and Tree of Life.

I want to see The King's Speech, but not based on the poster -- it, in fact, is lame and forgettable.

Dawn Treader and Man On a Ledge.

I'm pumped for Dawn Treader. I don't know why...but I am. I'm pumped.
