Here's another poster for Carnage, the upcoming play adaptation by Roman Polanski that stars Jodie Foster, John C. Reilly, Christoph Waltz, and Kate Winslet. It's not as bright as the previous Carnage poster, but what it lacks in color it makes up for with subtlety.
Here's the first trailer for Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the sequel to 2008's remake of Journey to the Center of the Earth, starring Dwayne Johnson and Josh Hutcherson. The film follows Johnson, Hutcherson, Vanessa Hudgens, and Luis Guzman, as they attempt to find Sean's (Hutcherson) grandfather - who is being played by Michael Caine - on "the mysterious island."
Besides being a legendary ending to one of the most epic phenomenons of our life time, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2 received rave reviews from critics, scoring an 87 on Metacritic, snagging a score of 93 from the Broadcast Film Critics Association, and sitting at a miraculous 93% approval on Rottentomatoes.
A glorious poster for Cameron Crowe's We Bought A Zoo has debuted, putting other posters to shame and making graphic designers cry.

A second trailer has released for Goon, a comedy starring Seann William Scott as a rough and tough bouncer turned hockey player. The film is directed by Michael Dowse, co-written by Jay Baruchel and Evan Goldberg, and co-stars include Liev Schreiber, Baruchel, and Alison Pill.
Dreamworks' Puss in Boots is still number one at the box office, grossing $33 million, just shy of its release-weekend-winnings, $34.1 million, and giving Puss in Boots the smallest second-weekend decline of any wide release in 2011. Some propose that Puss in Boots is doing so well because of an epic storm on the East Coast that prevented viewers from making it to theaters. Personally, I choose to believe that this box office miracle is due to American audiences' love of cats, puns, and cat-related puns.
