Poised at the frontier between high art and popular culture, movie posters are emblematic of modernity itself. In the words of Los Angeles Times critic Kenneth Turan, great movie posters from the Golden Age are “snapshots of cinema, intense jolts of visual stimulation that convey the focused essence of a cinematic experience.” When adroitly executed and imbued with narrative flair, they carry a charge and fascination all their own. Amid this panoply of film-related material, posters have often achieved the status of art. In addition to producing theatrical features, the movie industry generated many types of objects to promote them: trailers, stills, lobby cards, and fan magazines. With the AMPTP refusing to cooperate and resume negotiations, it’s safe to assume that we can expect more release date shifts and delays in the coming months.Highlights from the Mike Kaplan Collection With plot details still under wraps and now no release date, They Listen remains a mystery. While the horror film recently got bumped back a full year, it’s now temporarily removed from the schedule entirely with no set release date. Though, competition around this date suggest that we shouldn’t hold our breaths for this date to hold.Īlso impacted by the schedule shift is Blumhouse/Sony collaboration They Listen, starring John Cho ( Searching) and Katherine Waterston ( Alien: Covenant). Not all of the schedule shifts are delays, however, as Sony dated Venom 3 for Jwhen it was recently expected to arrive around Halloween, October 2024. The Ghostbusters sequel takes over Spider-Man: Beyond the Spiderverse’s release date. Deadline reports that the film has finished photography but still needs actors for final touches. Now, this sequel has been set for an Easter release, March 29, 2024. The untitled Ghostbusters: Afterlife sequel was expected to arrive just in time for the holidays, set for December 20, 2023. We’ll have to wait a bit longer to see just how bloody Kraven’s origin story gets, as Sony bumped the release fate from Octoall the way to August 30, 2024, where it’ll open Labor Day weekend. The official red band trailer debuted last month introduced Kraven’s origin story, while teasing several sequences of bloody mayhem. Up first to receive delays is the R-rated Kraven the Hunter, starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson ( Avengers: Age of Ultron). With guild actors unable to promote their films, expect quite a few delays from Sony’s upcoming theatrical slate, with dates subject to change even further. Kraven the Hunter, the Ghostbusters: Afterlife Sequel, Venom 3, and They Listen are among the impacted films. Sony Pictures’ upcoming 20 theatrical slate just received a massive shakeup, Deadline reports today, due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strike. The previously announced cast includes Andy McQueen ( Fahrenheit 451), Freda Foh Shen ( Ad Astra), Nicholas Campbell ( Da Vinci’s Inquest), Anna Friel ( Marcella), Britt Robertson ( For the People), Rafi Gavron ( A Star Is Born) and Yul Vazquez ( Midnight, Texas).Īs you may recall, Hulu was originally developing Books of Blood as a TV series. “Written by Braga and Adam Simon (Salem) based on a short story by Barker with contributing original material, Books of Blood takes a journey into uncharted and forbidden territory through three tales tangled in space and time.” Here’s the plot synopsis we were recently provided with: Braga also co-wrote and executive produced the film, with Seth MacFarlane on board to executive produce alongside him. In addition, the official poster art has been unleashed.Īnnounced last year, Brannon Braga (“The Orville”) directed Books of Blood for Hulu, named after the six volumes of original Clive Barker stories that were published in the mid-’80s. Not to be confused with the 2009 film Book of Blood, which adapted a couple of Clive Barker‘s Books of Blood stories, a brand new adaptation of those tales is headed our way this Halloween season with Hulu‘s Books of Blood, a feature film anthology that’s just been dated for premiere on October 7.
