“The Sisters Brothers” Trailers, Featurettes, Movie Clips and Posters

based on a book, comedy, drama, western, , , ,

Directed by Jacque Audiard,  who won the Venice Film Festival Award for Best Director 2018 for The Sisters Brothers. Based on Patrick Dewitt’s novel of the same name, the story takes place in Oregon in 1851 and follows two brothers, played by John C. Reilly and Joaquin Phoenix, Eli and Charlie Sisters.

The brothers are hired to kill a prospector who has stolen from their boss. The movie is a dark comedy with unique comedic elements. Audiard is best known for his Palme d’Or Winning Dheepan, which premiered at the 2015 Cannes Film Festival.

Another poster arrives.  The images of both brothers is an awesome visual with “Brothers By Blood, Sisters By Name” at the top.

The sarcasm in the “Wanted” featurette is so thick and bitting. I wonder if the movie flows the same way.

The “Story” featurette tells about the movie and the relationship between the two brothers. The more I see of the movie the more I want to see it.

The “Meeting Mayfield” movie clip shows the talented acting as well as the skillful camera work with snappy dialogue.

Here is the final trailer, and I like the style. The trailer tells us the movie is a true western about two brothers on a journey of retribution and redemption.

Each poster is quite different from the others. I like the one with the skull as a dust trail. The first one is too simple with just bold lettering. Event the different colored lettering doesn’t help because the stark poster says nothing about the movie.

“Venom” Trailers and Posters

action, super heroes, ,

Directed by Ruben Fleischer, who helmed movies like Zombieland and Gangster Squad, the movie’s storyline took some time to become fully available. The overall story is amazing with Tom Hardy adding his dynamic talent. You can watch the trailer and get a feel for what is happening in Venom.  Each trailer gradually tells about the story, and it is cool to watch as it unfolds.

You might recall Venom in the Spider-man comics. Comic book fans will tell you that Venom arrived on the streets in 1993 with Lethal Protector. David Micheline wrote the limited series and Mark Bagley, Ron Lim, and Sam DeLarosa designed the art.

In the comic book story, it is understood that Venom turns into a complete anti-hero. Heading to San Francisco, Venom and Spider-man team up and fight some villains.  My curiosity wanted to know if the movie followed the comic books. After watching the movie trailer, I doubted it, which was correct.

The first poster from the top shows a sinister and very dark character. The second poster shows Tom Hardy’s transformation. The movie is streaming now or available on Blu-ray and DVD.

One thing is for sure, the movie is about one of Marvel’s most enigmatic, complex and distinctly threatening superheroes to ever come to the comic world. Hardy stars as the destructive protector called Venom.

Michelle Williams, and Riz Ahmed star alongside Brady. At what capacity their roles are, there is no word as of yet, though in the trailer there is an indication Williams plays a former girlfriend. It seems the overall storyline is hush-hush, which is written by Scott Rosenberg, Jeff Pinkner, and Kelly Marcel.

The fourth trailer is three minutes long with a full-length frame of Venom. He is wicked and totally anti-superhero.

The second trailer is scary, like a horror movie.  Tom Hardy is good as the reluctant anti-hero.  The Venom looks a lot like the alien in Aliens. I just don’t like that tongue.
