Check out these very cool alternative poster designs for some classic movies. They’re made by Ibraheem Youssef a graphic designer from Toronto. I love the little story line hints in the designs and wonder why the big studio’s always go for the same layout.
No need to introduce Romain Gavras. No need to introduce Vincent Cassel. Can’t wait to see Gavras’ debut feature film Notre Jour Viendra (Our Day Will Come). If you don’t know who I’m talking about, hit Google. “Au cinéma le 15 septembre 2010″.
Highly entertaining and excellently executed trailer for Javazone. Just watch it…
Who didn’t grow up with them, and now they get there own movie by Sony Animation’s. In the 3-D live-action/animation hybrid feature, the Smurfs are kicked out of their world by Gargamel and end up in New York City. I am curious how this is going to look and if I like, love or hate it.
Very interesting documentary about the impact of social networks on society and government. An hour long but worth it.
For weeks now, I feel a lot of power. It must be this wrist-band I started to wear: it’s the same one as football hero Johan Neeskens used to have in the 70’s. And the same one Johan Primero is wearing (he’s constantly tweeting about it!) . It would be selfish to keep this power just for me. So if you want one, let me know and I sent you one (it’s designed by Penny Lee!).
A nice animation from the German director Andreas Hykade. It looks almost like an LSD trip. So if you want to enjoy this to the max, call your local dealer. It rocks!
The Raven is a great short movie by Ricardo de Montreuil. With only $5k budget he managed to create this part of a trilogy.
The website for my own movie (release date june 17) Johan Primero is created by Penny Lee of Dietwee. Don’t forget to check out Johan’s daily tweets to find out where he drives.
There is something funny and absurd about this trailer for 15 minute shortfilm AARGH. I don’t know anything about it other then the maker is Philip Hillers, student at German film school HFF Potsdam.
From Brighton: Terry Gilliam meets Bansky meets MC Escher, according to the Guardian! Weird stuff.
You can’t really argue with Ridley Scott. It’s not only the fact he’s ballin’, a ‘Sir’ and I’m neither. He just made some movies that make you shut up. Gladiator is high on my fav’s list. While reminding me of another fav, the trailer of his Robin Hood re-do tickles my curiousity. Just like in Cannes. In the same time the trailer raises a lot of questions, such as: “Why?”
If you haven’t seen their new video yet, you probably were on a 3 month sabbatical in Bhutan, but maybe haven’t read the story behind the making of this new video of OK Go. Six months working with rocket scientists, having lots of patience, paint and I guess….lots of passion.
From boomboxes to records. Here’s a ‘musicmentory’ to celebrate the age of vinyl records’. Director Jony Lyle seems to have interviewed too many key figures to name. Looks promising, does anyone have a release date?
Video art film expressing the key technologies behind the Nike 2010 World Cup football kit; Made from recycled plastic bottles! Made by Universal Everything.
Coming soon to the Dutch cinema-screens: the long awaited feature film of writer & director Johan Kramer! A film about Barca FC, an old car, strong coffee, love, sheep, butterflies and about winning and losing…
The Absolut Vodka commissioned Spike Jonze short film, mentioned earlier by Tino, is finally released online. It’s a love story between two robots, living and working in LA. Limited seats are available every day.
Very cool example of an interactive film where the audience interacts with the character in the movie.
A trailer for the upcoming docu by Clinch on Jay-Z. On March 22 you can see it for free on Facebook due to a vodka brand giving ‘em cash for creating it. “Rap mags try and use my black ass / so advertisers can give ‘em more cash for ads, fuckers / I don’t know what you take me as / Or understand the intelligence that Jay-Z has”
To celebrate the opening of a new store Opening Ceremony asked Gia Coppola and Tracy Antonopoulos to create this short film starring Kirsten Dunst and Jason Schwartzman. Music by Coconut records.
Check out this nice Low-polygon animated movie, designed and animated by Kevin Megens, Floris Vos (Soulbase), Arno de Grijs, André Bergs. Music and sound design by Alex Debicki. Script by Jan Eduards. Produced by il Luster Productions.
I just saw Un Prophète, the new film from Jacques Audiard. The first film I saw from this true author was Sur Mes Lèvres, which was very nice. Then I saw De Battre Mon Coeur S’Est Arrêté, which was beautiful. And then came Un Prophète, which is une vrai chef-d’oeuvre. After jacking the Grand Prix in Cannes, it’s predestined to win an Oscar.
This is a funny, cool and creative one, a short animation film completely build of logo’s. It was made by the french collective H5
Not sure what to think of this collaboration between Spike Jonze and Absolut. A love story between two, er, robots, set in LA. Opening at the Sundance Filmfestival this weekend.
This full length documentary is brought to you by the energy drink of Coca Cola called Relentless. It’s about four ‘artists‘ and their commitment to their art.
To close out 2009 in style Christian Annyas decided to update his Movie title stills collection with ‘The End’ of Warner Bros. A series dedicated to the ‘The End’ title screen, all taken from Warner Bros’ movies. Besides the evolution it’s also nice to see the typography.
Sometimes the characters appearing in the dutch/belgium television show Man bijt hond are making me think of Arjan Ederveen’s Borreltijd. Almost can’t believe this is real.
