We are happy to say we knew director Gareth Edwards before he was picked to direct Legendary’s reboot of Godzilla. But now that he’s a big time director, he doesn’t seem to have lost his sense of humor and still has time for the fans.

In fact, he took time out of what must be a very busy schedule to record a video teaser for Godzilla’s appearance at Comic-Con in San Diego this week. There’s also a new poster to commemorate the event as well.

Check out both after the break. We can’t wait to see what Edwards does with this classic monster. If you’ve seen his previous movie, aptly titled Monsters, you shouldn’t have any doubt his take on Godzilla will be very cool indeed.

With Comic-Con kicking off next week in San Diego, one thing you might be on the lookout for when attending is some cool, new artwork. Well, if you’re in the market for something like that, one booth you should definitely check out is Mondo’s.

They will have some all-new, exclusive content for the show including posters from Pacific Rim. Here’s the rest of the scoop, directly from the Mondo press release:

Mondo is excited to announce that it will return to San Diego Comic-Con 2013 with incredible new prints, including three colossal pieces of giant monster crushing artwork to celebrate the release Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures’Pacific Rim from director Guillermo del Toro on July 12. The Mondo booth will be set up on the main conference floor in booth #936 throughout SDCC, Wednesday July 17 through Sunday July 21. Additionally, new prints from celebrated artists Martin Ansin, Olly Moss and Drew Struzan will be available for presale on Friday, July 12.

“Mondo has always been instrumental in cementing world creation in pop culture- these posters by Ash Thorp and Kevin Tong and Vania Zouravliov capture perfectly the wild, gleeful spirit of Pacific Rim – here’s to a mad world of Mecha and Kaiju!!” said director Guillermo del Toro.

We were a bit skeptical when we heard Spike Lee was directing the American version of Park Chan-Wook’s modern classic Oldboy. The first poster for that movie has arrived today and so far, we like what we see.

Sure, Josh Brolin emerging from a chest in the middle of a grassy field doesn’t exactly spell things out and tell us all we need to know, but that’s a good thing. What we do like is the poster’s bizarre nature, which potentially bodes well for the movie itself.

Spike Lee isn’t exactly known for this kind of movie, but perhaps this is the one that will set his career off in a new direction. For the sake of Oldboy fans everywhere, we sincerely hope so.

Of course, if Lee drops the ball on this one and it turns out badly, we always have the original to enjoy. If you haven’t seen it yet, it’s definitely worth a look.

Look for the first trailer from Oldboy later this week. For now, check out the full poster after the break.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe is entering into untested grounds. While the first phase of films was groundbreaking in its structure, it still had the familiar grasp of forward momentum. Like a wave crashing onto the beach, the momentum is beginning to recede as Marvel gears up for their next big push.

So it falls on the capable shoulders of Robert Downey Jr.’s Iron Man to embrace the narrowing focus of the universe, while still setting in motion the momentum for the next phase of Marvel films. So considering the pressure this film is under, it makes sense that we are seeing an expanded presence from this film’s marketing as the Super Bowl approaches.

We do not have the new TV spot, or a full trailer just yet, but Marvel Studios has just released a beautiful new poster to stroke everyone’s  anticipation glands.

The poster itself is a simple image of Iron Man, or as simple of an image of Iron Man you can get when he is plummeting to his certain doom. A cheery one-sheet that sets the tone for the ringer Tony Stark is set to be sent through.

You can check out the full new poster after the jump.

Among the many things we love around here is great design. And one of the greatest designers of all time is the legendary Saul Bass. His work on countless movie posters and title sequences, often with his wife Elaine, are among the best examples of modern design out there.

Another group of people who appreciate great design are the folks over at The Fox Is Black. They’ve collected some great examples of Bass’ work on posters for Kubrick’s The Shining and the collection goes a long way to show the level of craft and dedication that went into the making of this iconic piece of cinema history.

Check out a few other examples after the break. For much more, head over here.
