Lost in The Multiplex

Date: Saturday, 16 June 2012

It’s the reissues that offer the real gems in a so-so week for new releases.

The Dark Knight Rises - The Bat

Where does he get those wonderful toys?

Batman Begins had the Tumbler. The Dark Knight blew up the Tumbler and gave us the Batpod. Now, The Dark Knight Rises is ready to go one better by introducing "The Bat" to Batman's arsenal.

Emma Watson - black and white

Emma Watson is in talks to join Darren Aronofsky’s cast of Noah, it has been recently announced, an upcoming Biblical retelling of the classic tale of Noah and his Ark.

Christopher Nolan and Wally-Pfister on The Dark Knight Rises set

Christopher Nolan and Emma Thomas have signed on to executive produce the upcoming directorial debut from their long-term collaborator, Wally Pfister.

Welcome to another design round-up of film posters from the past few weeks. This bunch are all of the independent and/or subtitled variety, and (for the most part) exhibit some unique and charming qualities. They were also all released last year, only just making it to the UK film market, which is rather unusual.

'The Man Who Fell to Earth' remains one of the most esoteric of the great 70s movies, and one of the least assimilated into the mainstream. While the influence of 'The Godfather' or 'Mean Streets' permeates modern culture to the point of cliché, you won't find many offspring of Roeg's glittering masterpiece. People love it, but unvociferously, perhaps because there's always the anxiety someone's going to ask you, 'Yeah, but what does it all mean?'

The question had to be asked - could Robert Pattinson cut it away from the fluff and nonsense of the Twilight franchise and every other film he's starred in?
