Poster frenzy with 'All About Steve;' 'Amelia;' 'Legion'

Another week is coming to an end, and it's time for a look at a bunch of recent movie posters that surfaced online during the past couple of days. I've got four for you today, and you can check them out by scrolling down after the jump.

The first one is for Sandra Bullock's upcoming comedy "All About Steve," in which she plays a total weirdo who stalks Bradley Cooper. The film doesn't look as delightful as her recent hit "The Proposal," but it boasts a solid cast. "Steve" heads to theaters Sept. 4, 2009.

Next up we have the new one-sheet for Mira Nair's "Amelia," which chronicles the life of the famous American pilot who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic by herself. The trailer looks gorgeous, and this poster with lead actress Hilary Swank is not bad either. "Amelia" lands Oct. 23.

Trailer for Hilary Swank's 'Amelia' lands online

Ladies and gentlemen, the first official trailer for Mira Nair's upcoming Amelia Earhart biopic has landed on the Web. Please feel free to check it out after the jump.

The story of Ameila Earhart is an intriguing one, and the footage in this trailer looks grand. As someone who enjoys flying, I'm obviously quite excited to see the film.

"Amelia" chronicles the life of the famous American pilot who became the first woman to fly across the Atlantic by herself. In 1937, she disappeared somewhere over the Pacific during an attempt to fly around the world.

Hilary Swank stars as the title character, with Richard Gere playing publisher George Putnam. Also on-board as Gene Vidal (a man Amelia had an affair with) is Ewan McGregor.

"Amelia" is scheduled to land in theaters Oct. 23, 2009. No delays on this one please. It looks really good.
