Pictures


Picture Gallery of the Week:
The Fantastic Mr. Fox

Wes Anderson has stated in interviews he has no interest in altering his
(increasingly suffocating) style to suit or grow his audience, so I was
relieved when he signed on to animate the Roald Dahl classic. And with the
first official pictures out, I’m now excited. The fashion, the attention to
background detail, the eerie, tactile quality of the characters that should
strike excitement in young audiences. Has a new medium reinvigorated
Anderson?

Posters


Poster of the Week:


Prince of Persia

Can the golden age of the comic book movies be over? Are we entering a
new era of video games? Over the last year, adaptations have been garnering
the talent and budget to potentially see them right. Peter Jackson and Neill
Blomkamp for Halo. Gore Verbinski for Bioshock. James Wan for
Castlevania. Sam Raimi for World of Warcraft. It could all
begin with Mike Newell’s Prince of Persia, the $150 million vision of
the 1989 Jordan Mechner masterpiece.

Video of the Week:


Whip It! trailer

Ellen Page’s first major post-Juno performance. Drew Barrymore’s first
directed movie. A lot of major firsts riding on this movie, but this raucous
trailer for Whip It! (a comedy tracking Page’s entry into the world
of roller derby) looks like it’ll be a fun time.
