Thomas Jane Is Lurking...

I'm totally unfamiliar with the source material, and while I think it's silly to put out a poster for a movie that doesn't have a script yet, (unless it's something with a built-in audience like Superman) I cannot deny the outright cool-ness of this poster. Seriously, this poster perfectly sets the tone for this flick, it tells me absolutely everything I need to know, and it does it with great style and conviction, and, most importantly, no apologies. It's a comic movie, and an old-style comic movie to boot, (when was the last time you saw a comic for 25 cents?) which instantly makes my ears perk up. While there have certainly been some valiant attempts at the 1950's pulp sci-fi genre, (Sky Captain, Rocketeer) the only one to really knock the ball out of the park was The Iron Giant, which I don't really count because it couldn't really go balls-to-the-wall because it was a kids' movie. Maybe the pulp horror route will be more successful than the pulp sci-fi route....
