‘Twas the Nighy Before Christmas…
Happy holidays to all — and enjoy this cinematic Christmas serenade from Bill Nighy in Love Actually…
Profiles In History Presents James Bond…
Just in time for Christmas, Profiles In History, the movie memorabilia auction house made famous by Syfy’s Hollywood Treasure TV show led by auctioneer-extraordinaire, Joe Maddalena, will be auctioning off some of 007′s most rare and expensive on-screen film treasures this weekend, December 15-16, 2012.
Gambit’s Gamble…
Skylights Out!
Looks like the James Bond producers are seeing the daylight at the end of the tunnel for the new Skyfall one-sheet…(IMP)
The Girl Premieres…
Happy James Bond Day!
Just in case you forgot to mark your calendars, today is officially Global James Bond Day.
And why not celebrate by picking up the new art/film/design book, James Bond: 50 Years of Movie Posters — to celebrate the International superhero Super-spy.
Here’s to You, Putzu
Sim Branaghan of British Film Posters has written up a respectful tribute to the late great poster artist, Arnaldo Putzu (1927-2012). (APF)
RIP: Tony Scott
Tony Scott, the director who brought us Top Gun, Crimson Tide, and a whole slew of popular thrillers from the 80s and 90s — as well as the younger brother of Ridley Scott (Blade Runner, Alien) — has sadly died of an apparent suicide after jumping off a bridge in San Pedro, CA. (IMP)
Stay Gold!
As the 2012 Summer Olympic Games wraps up this weekend, I’d like to remind all you movie poster participants that you’re all winners in my book! (IMP)
Drively!
What do you get when you team up Blake Lively and Nicolas Winding Refn, the director of Drive? Gucci, of course!
The Stalker of Suspense?
There’s a new Hitchcock biopic (not to be confused with the other Anthony Hopkins-Hitchcock flick) coming out in October by HBO called The Girl, starring Toby Jones as Sir Alfred — and it covers The Master of Suspense’s scary obsession with female lead, Tippi Hedren (played by Sienna Miller), during filming of The Birds and Marnie.
Black Widow Lake?
No doubt the new limited-edition Black Widow posters by indie UK artist, Olly Moss, (courtesy of Alamo Drafthouse) are all sold out by now…but perhaps Veronica Lake is still available?
The Beauty of Bradbury
Upon hearing of the passing of science-fiction/fantasy writer extraordinaire, Ray Bradbury, I thought back to when I first moved to Los Angeles in the late 90′s and heard the legend was doing a local neighborhood bookstore signing (which wasn’t that unusual since he was known to graciously sign everything!).
I’m not much of an autograph hound — or a sci-fi geek — but for some reason I got his John Hancock. Such a sweetheart of a guy. Here’s what he wrote…
Dial M For Ripoff?
Eagle-eyed Neil Jaworski spotted the Saul Bass (The Human Factor) homage on this new book cover for Tom Watson’s Dial M For Murdoch, which ironically chronicles the Fox founder’s hacking scandal…(MOPO)
Hipster Disney Posters?
Looks like Liverpool graphic designer, Rowan Stocks-Moore, has pared down the Disney classics with some intriguing new hip, minimalist takes on the enduring children’s storybook tales…available on Etsy.
Hop-kock!
Anthony Hopkins (pictured right) is slated to become Alfred Hitchcock (aka Hop-Kock!) in an upcoming biopic on The Master of Suspense. Hopefully, the one-sheet won’t go to The Birds and will be as mysteriously elegant as vintage French-Cock.
