New poster for Titanic 3D rerelease

Fox (via ComingSoon) has released a new poster for the rerelease of James Cameron’s Titanic in 3D.

Fox’s official description for the film is somewhat downplayed: A boy and girl from differing social backgrounds meet during the ill-fated maiden voyage of RMS Titanic.

The boy, of course, is Leonardo Di Caprio, while the girl is Kate Winslet. Both have gone on to maintain their star status in the 14 years since the massive box-office goliath that was Titanic first hit the waters.

Titanic 3D will be re-released worldwide on 5 April 2012 by Fox.

New poster for Albert Nobbs

IMPAwards has just added a new poster for the Oscar-buzzy film Albert Nobbs, which is garnering lots of attention from star Glenn Close’s portrayal of a man. While the first poster merely hinted at this fact, this latest poster puts the marvellous special effects make-up designs at the front of the poster.

A woman passes as a man in order to work and survive in 19th century Ireland. Some thirty years after donning men’s clothing, she finds herself trapped in a prison of her own making.

Based on the short story by George Moore, Close has already portrayed this role on stage, and is joined by Michael Gambon, Janet McTeer, Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Aaron Johnson and Mia Wasikowska. Rodrigo García (Revolución, Passengers) will direct a script co-written by Close and novelist John Banville.

Albert Nobbs is released on 26 December 2011 in Australia from Hopscotch. It will also receive a limited release in the US from 27 January 2012.

We’ve seen a constant stream of videos and viral clips from around the world, so now it is our turn to get a look at the latest official Australian poster for David Fincher’s The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.

New poster and trailer for My Week with Marilyn

A trailer and a new poster for the biopic My Week with Marilyn has been released online. Although labelled an exclusive by iTunes Trailers, we’re pretty sure this trailer has been floating around for at least three weeks. The poster, pictured below, is brand new and comes to us via Moviefone.

In the early summer of 1956, 23 year-old Colin Clark (Eddie Redmayne), just down from Oxford and determined to make his way in the film business, worked as a lowly assistant on the set of ‘The Prince and the Showgirl’. The film that famously united Sir Laurence Olivier (Kenneth Branagh) and Marilyn Monroe (Michelle Williams), who was also on honeymoon with her new husband, the playwright Aurthur Miller (Dougray Scott). Nearly 40 years on, his diary account The Prince, the Showgirl and Me was published, but one week was missing and this was published some years later as My Week with Marilyn – this is the story of that week. When Arthur Miller leaves England, the coast is clear for Colin to introduce Marilyn to some of the pleasures of British life; an idyllic week in which he escorted a Monroe desperate to get away from her retinue of Hollywood hangers-on and the pressures of work.

US poster for Arrietty comes with a title change

Studio Ghibli’s Arrietty, better known as The Borrower Arrietty, has changed its name for the US market to The Secret World of Arrietty, where it will be distributed by Disney. Now thanks to BoxOfficeBuz, we get our first look at the US poster for this animated gem.

When we caught up with it earlier this year, we said that it “evokes the history of Japanese animation while simultaneously forging something new. The film captures the magic of those earlier films and carves out a niche of its own in this sure to be timeless classic”.

The Secret World of Arrietty will screen in the US from 17 February 2012. It will screen in Australia from next month as part of the 15th Japanese Film Festival.

NYCC unveils retro comic poster for Red Tails

LucasFilm (via ComingSoon.Net) has released another poster for their forthcoming film Red Tails, this time designed specifically for the New York Comic Con. The legendary Joe Kubert has designed the pulp comic influenced one-sheet, and it is incredibly cool.

1944. As the war in Europe continues to take its toll on Allied forces, the Pentagon brass has no recourse but to consider unorthodox options – including the untried and untested African-American pilots of the experimental Tuskegee training program. Just as the young Tuskegee men are on the brink of being shut down and shipped back home, they are given the ultimate chance to show their courage. Against all the odds, with something to prove and everything to lose, these intrepid young airmen take to the skies to fight for their country – and the fate of the free world.

Red Tails is released on 20 January 2012 in the US. It does not currently have an Australian release date.
