Poster mania: 'Jennifer's Body;' 'Brothers' & more

Saturday, July 11, 2009 at 1:07AM | By

Here are the latest movie posters, which debuted across the Web this week. Let's start with the new one-sheet for Karyn Kusama's upcoming Diablo Cody-scripted horror flick "Jennifer's Body," which stars a hot Megan Fox as a mean girl who gets a kick out of eating boys. Release: Sept. 18, 2009.

Next up is a new poster for Jim Sheridan's new drama remake "Brothers," which stars Natalie Portman, Tobey Maguire and Jake Gyllenhaal. Personally, I absolutely adore this poster, and I hope the film will be as powerful as its trailer makes it out to be. Release is set for December 4.

Scroll down a bit and you'll come across a German poster for Robert Zemeckis's 3D motion capture adventure "A Christmas Carol" with Jim Carrey in several roles. The film will open November 6. Looks sweet. Here's to hoping we get to see a full trailer soon.

Finally, check out this energetic poster for Glenn Ficarra & John Requa's dramedy "I Love You Phillip Morris," starring Jim Carrey and Ewan McGregor. This is like the third film this year with "I Love You" in the title after "I Love You, Man" and " I Love You, Beth Cooper." Oh wait, "New York, I Love You" will also open soon.

Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's "I Love You Phillip Morris" debuts at this year's Sundance Film Festival, and here is a first clip from the comedy.

Inspired by a true story, the film stars Jim Carrey as Steven Russell, a talented conman who ends up in a Texas prison, where he falls in love with his cellmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).

In the footage below, Phillip is clearly pissed at Steven for lying to him so much. It's a pretty short clip as you can see, but it does make me want to see more. I'm interested to see how these two actors work together in these roles.

As for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, their writing credits include "Bad Santa" and the remake of "Bad News Bears," two flicks I absolutely enjoyed.

No U.S. release date has been announced yet, but I will keep you posted. Enjoy.

The folks at TrailerAddict posted what looks like an early version of a trailer for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa's upcoming comedy "I Love You Phillip Morris." You can check it out right after the jump.

Inspired by a true story, the film stars Jim Carrey as Steven Russell, a talented conman who ends up in a Texas prison, where he falls in love with his cellmate Phillip Morris (Ewan McGregor).

While the preview below certainly looks interesting, it lasts for about three minutes and could use some additional editing. It looks more like a promo clip at this stage.

As for Glenn Ficarra and John Requa, their writing credits include "Bad Santa" and the remake of "Bad News Bears," two flicks I absolutely enjoyed.

As far as I know no U.S. release date has been confirmed yet. I'll let you know as soon as I learn more about it. For now, enjoy the preview below.
