Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Poster Released

As you can see, the official poster for the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides has been released and as I guessed it’s all about Johnny Depp.

The poster shows Captain Jack Sparrow with a few mermaids and burning ship in the background, since Keira Knightley and Orlando Bloom turned the 4th movie down they are not featured in it.

The movie’s synopsis goes as this “Jack Sparrow and Barbossa (Geoffrey Rush) embark on a quest to find the elusive fountain of youth, only to discover that Blackbeard (Ian McShane) and his daughter are after it too.”

Penelope Cruz will play Blackbeard’s daughter and Gemma Ward will also star in the movie so that’s were I will be getting my eye candy from when I watch this movie on DVD, because there’s no way I’m going to see it in theaters as I have a feeling it is going to be dreadful and just like the past movies will be full of Jack Sparrow. If you do want to see the movie in theaters it’s released on May 20, 2011.

Lindsay Lohan’s An Armed Nun (Machete Poster)

Here is a new poster for Robert Rodriguez‘s new movie, Machete, and as you can see it features Lindsay Lohan dressed up as a nun while licking a gun. How edgy.

Danny Trejo, Jessica Alba, Robert De Niro and Michelle Rodriguez also star in the movie.

I’m kind of confused why she has her own movie poster because the official trailer, which you can see below, for the movie doesn’t even show or mention Lohan in it. But I guess they wanted to get some controversy and what better way to do that than have a soon to be inmate dressed as a nun while licking a gun.

10 Gruesome Horror Movie Posters

Halloween is coming up on us quicker by each passing day, so the guys at ScFi Wire have come up with 10 of the most gruesome movie posters ever.

Film critic Gene Siskel walked out on this 1980 splatter film about a scalping serial killer, sickened by the gore in the first half hour. What was he expecting from a movie with a poster like this? Jane freakin’ Austen?

The poster for the original Italian release of the 1972′s L’etrusco uccide ancora was tasteful and dignified, but when the film came to the U.S., those qualities went right out the window, disappearing just like this poor guy’s skin.

Unwary tourists turn into dinner in this 1980 movie banned in the UK for 18 years. Bon appetit!

John will never eat shish kebab again—and after seeing the poster for this 1981 Canadian slasher film, we don’t think we will either!

We have no idea what we’re looking at here in the poster for Eli Roth’s 2007 sequel. We just know that we starting to feel a little … urp! … queasy …

After Cannibal Holocaust premiered in Italy in 1980, the director was was arrested on obscenity charges. And they let the painter of the poster go free?

This image promoting the 2004 release of the first film in the Saw series is one of the few posters as nausea-inducing as the picture it promotes.

This 1985 film was meant to be a satire, but there’s nothing funny about the nightmares caused by its poster.

Nazi! Zombies! Chainsaws! All the right ingredients are there in this 2009 film and poster.

Tobe Hooper torment teens again in this 1981 movie set in a funhouse. Oh, demented killer, you’re way overdue for a dental checkup.

I have only seen Hostel and Saw and agree that the posters are horrific, thoughts?

Angelina Jolie’s ‘Wanted’ Film Posters Banned

Posters for Angelina Jolie‘s latest action film “Wanted” have been banned for glamorizing gun crime.

Members of the public complained that the advertisements for Wanted were irresponsible in the current climate and were likely to provoke violence or antisocial behavior.

The film stars Jolie and British actor James McAvoy as a pair of assassins.

One poster featured a gun-toting Jolie lying across the bonnet of a car and a bullet curving towards the audience. It carried the strapline: “This is your destiny. Join us.”

Another showed McAvoy with a gun in each hand, pointing towards the viewer. The accompanying slogan implied that his life had changed for the better since he became a killer.

The Advertising Standards Authority imposed the ban after receiving 17 complaints from the public, many of whom said the posters were unsuitable to be seen by children.

In its adjudication, the industry watchdog ruled: “We acknowledged most viewers would understand the posters reflected the content of an action film. However, we considered that because the ads featured a glamorous actress, action poses, several images of or related to guns and aspirational text, they could be seen to glamorize the use of guns and violence. We concluded [they] could be seen to condone violence by glorifying or glamorizing the use of guns.”

An ASA spokesman added:

“We have seen a proliferation of complaints from the public about advertising which is seen to condone gun or knife crime. We are responding to the level of consumer concern.”

Universal Pictures said the posters had not appeared near schools or other areas frequented by children.
