AICN EXCLUSIVE ONLINE PREMIERE!! The One Sheet(s) For HOLLYWOODLAND!!
Here's a look at the one sheet...rather the three one-sheets...for Allen Coulter's forthcoming HOLLYWOODLAND. Needless to say, these images are character based.
Ben Affleck's George Reeves - TV's "Superman" - who died in 1959. Whether he took his own life...or someone took it from him...is uncertain.
Adrien Brody's Louis Simo, a detective hired by Reeves' fiance (Robin Tunney) to find the truth behind Reeves' death.
And Diane Lane's Toni Mannix, with whom Reeves had an affair. She's the wife of MGM executive Eddie Mannix (Bob Hoskins).
Cool images; love the style.
You know...Diane Lane is still really hot! I used to have a monster...crush...for her back in the day. And, is it just me, or does the name Eddie Mannix (a real person) sound like a character from WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT?
This is director Allen Coulter's first feature film -- he's graduating from low profile (sarcasm) TV fare like SEX AND THE CITY, SIX FEET UNDER, THE SOPRANOS, and ROME.
The trailer for this film is rather nice; you can take a look at it HERE. I'm really excited to see this film. It looks far more interesting than I expected it would when I first heard about it.
HOLLYWOODLAND...complete with what I'm sure will be an extremely surreal glimpse of Affleck in a Superman costume...hits on September 8.

im first! it really does look good though.
-
that's what made the guy famous, his role as Superman. You'd think they'd mention it, otherwise people might think Affleck kicked off and the movie's about him. Also, that tag line to the delectable Ms. Lane's poster is pretty inane, yes?
-
This posters have been around the internet for more than a month now... Wake up boys!
-
I know this for a fact.
-
These are plastered all over very theatre in the civilized world and have been for weeks.
-
If you're going to be a bitch about something, at least be an accurate bitch.
-
proofread those articles, fellas!
-
??? The posters make it look like L.A. Confidential 2. Want to look forward to this film, keep my lil Superman-loving fingers crossed.
-
Someone needs to cast Diane Lane as Julia Stiles mom in something, and quick. Then they need to film it in my bedroom. With a video camera.

Affleck and his dimples of doom will ruin this movie
by ricky henderson
Prove me wrong you fools.
-
I might have to fork over some dough to see an Affleck movie, just because of her.
-
duh-duh da-da!
-
Now, how many douchebags will fuck up George Reeves' name like they do Christopher Reeve's? Spelling and punctuation...It's not just for breakfast anymore.
-
And this movie looks really boring. Like something Lee Tamahori would have done circa 1998.
-
These have been on the usual websites for a good few weeks now.
-
You mean the posters Impawards.com posted on July 18th?
-
Um...nope. Look here: http://tinyurl.com/r2jhc or here: http://tinyurl.com/m59gp or here: http://tinyurl.com/nnbz2 And look at the dates. Merrick, look up the meaning of Exclusive and Premiere.
-
like SEX AND THE CITY, SIX FEET UNDER, THE SOPRANOS, and ROME"? WTF dude? SATC is poodle diarrhea but the other 3 are about as high profile (and quality) as TV gets.

Look in movies like "Unfaithful" and more. In any recent film that features Diane Lane's bare breasts, notice that they are being held, or hoisted on something, say the lip of a bathtub or in Oliver Martinez' hands. That's because if they weren't held up, they would fall into her shoes. Bitch is saggin more than Christy Canyon after a sauna bath!

I was being sarcastic.

You need to try harder with your sarcasm skills, because you are really, really good at being sarcastic...(see what I did there)

These images were presented to us as "Exclusive Online Premieres" by the studios' PR firm. There is certainly no arguing that the images have appeared on a few other sites; we were not aware of this until it was pointed out in Talkback. I'm following up with the PR folks now to try to clear-up this issue. I'm presuming the "Exclusive" they're referring to denotes the major news sites...which, in itself, doesn't seem entirely fair to the folks who already have them posted - major sites, or not. And, by the way...to everyone bitching about having seen these in their theaters already....that's why we said ONLINE. Not "world premiere", "first time anywhere", etc. Thanks a ton to everyone who pointed this out...we're looking into it now.
-
Distracts me in every film he's in...
-
...there is no such thing as an exclusive online premiere.
-
This kind of fuckup never would have happened in his day. Unless it did, in which case he would have said "Look! Over there! Brett Ratner!" and we'd never have noticed...
-
is playing Ben's hairpiece?
-
She's stupendously hot right now!
-
I'll admit she was hot, and still lane is kinda hot for a somewhat older lady. but there is no denying what happens to our bodies as we get older. certain, er, angles aren't very flattering... http://tinyurl.com/zs53n ...now NATHAN lane, there's a hottie...
-
fucking gorgeous.
-
I don't understand why there's so much attention being given to this movie. It might be good, but even so, it seems to be headed towards a modest response regardless. It's not a prestige pic, and it's not gonna make any money. Aside from the Superman link, why does AICN have such a hard-on for it? I'm not saying it looks bad or that I expect it to be bad; I just expect it to come and go rather quickly, regardless of its quality. I don't think many people are really paying attention to this flick. The younger generation surely has no idea what it's about, Superman notwitstanding, and it's not exactly packed with box office starpower. Hell, even if you think it will be huge, WHO THE HELL CARES ABOUT THE ONESHEETS?
-
Having read the book HOLLYWOOD KRYPTONITE on which this is based, I'm looking forward to this. Here's hoping the cast can pull it off.
-
Ben Afleck would've made a GREAT Superman. Put some meat on Brandon!
-
"Uh, we don't know what happened. Sorry." And Diane Lane has some sugar tits. She's naked in something.
-
who is instantly turned off by any project involving Ben Affleck? I don't even know why . . . he has done some decent stuff but . . . now he activates my gag reflex. Maybe it was the one-two punch of Daredevil and Pearl Harbor . . .
-
for quite a while now. How are these exclusive?
-
I didn't notice your response. It just seemed funny. Kind of like you guys were being sarcastic. As for the movie itself - bleh. Looks fairly lame. And Mechasheeva, I'm right there with you. Whenever I see that Affleck is starring in a movie, I nstantly downgrade my enthusiasm by 50%.
-
If I don't see some fat on Afleck's gut they ain't getting my money. And I mean real blubber, not prosthetics.
-
for a month.
-
I know there is no way in hell that this is possible, but, it would be hilarious if this thing makes more than Superman Returns. Yeah, I know not possible, yet it's kinda odd that we get two different incarnations of the Superman mythos on screen (albeit with one based in reality).
-
so, they figured they could change the name so long as they had ben affleck playing superman. after all, people will still be calling him hollywood's kryptonite.
-
this will almost certainly be more profitable that superman returns.
-
How come in both Lane and Brody's posters they look cool and mysterious but Afleck looks sooo smug he makes Robbie Williams seem modest!
-
thanks for the clarification Merrick and I guess they've been online even longer! sounds like someone is going to get screamed at.
-
That one sheets were the actual movie posters, not teasers which these are.
-
the problem w/ benjamin (!) affleck is that he smiles like a dope. sometimes he can be so wonderful in movies but then he smiles and lookes all goofy. if you change his poster then youve got a winner 'cause the other two are tight. now on the movie: i would see it if it were for $5 but not full price ( i have to save that money for The Ant Bully. its got nic cage playing an ant wizard! what the crap is that? i bet you he was on coke when he did it; seems like the type to me. affleck too. tight, bitches.

-
that maybe everyone involved with this ill-fated "premiere" believed these pics to be a genuine exclusive and that other sites hosting the images were doing so in an unknown, and unauthorized, capacity? From what Merrick's saying, that would explain everything.
-
Imagine if Agent Dale Cooper actually got the role as George Reeves in this film. He allegedly pushed for it. Aside from box office muscle, I wonder if there were any other reasons why Kyle MacLachlan wasn't given this role. He resembles George Reeves, he acts slightly better than Ben Affleck...hmmmm. Maybe they couldn't fit his full name on the one sheet. Oh well.
-
Does anybody else see this? It looks like he isn't taking any of this seriously. Look at his face there....that's his "Grim" face. Or maybe it's his "Introspective". Shit, it could even be his "Ankle Pain". He's always got that little snicker forming on the side of his mouth, I want to fucking clock him in the nose. I just hate his face. There aren't too many people who can inspire such rage in me with just a glance at their grill, but dude....Ben Affleck looks like a fucking RETARD. He lessens the authenticity of any production he's in. He looks like exactly what he is...a frat boy who got lucky in Hollywood. I hate him through and through. Arghghg.
-
It could be Affleck know his character is going to die and that's why he has a look of apathy on his face or he just isn't trying. Either way in the end no matter how much hate is flung his way, he still goes home to his Oscar every night, and pounds it to Jennifer Garner.
-
brother
-
That is one weird looking picture of Affleck as Superman. I don't know why, but it CREEPS me out!
-
Heaven forbid a movie news site not get given the exclusives from PR and post them pre-emptively because, I mean, shit, that's not what made AICN is it at all.
Further proof that this place is happily swilling and patting backs with Holywood muck. Hopeless. -
I think of AICN like geek activism - we have a grassroots movement (TB), which always keeps it real (and spells it "rel"), and we have our political front (the AICN crew) some of whom have become the very shills they once derided in order to profit and play the game. But I'm a latecomer, so that's how I've always seen it. As for Hollywoodland... .
-
Um...right...Brandon Routh would put Ben Affleck through a fucking wall so...yeah. There's that.
-
I saw these ages ago.
-
Is the living embodiment of Aphrodite on Earth. She's also a damn fine actress.
-
and we put these posters up 2 weeks ago does that mean i should send pics of every new poster i put up
-
Well, yeah, one could say that Ben as George as Superman is Creepy....but is it creepy for the right reasons? What do you think, Ben? (I love it when people say that Affleck looks grim...Ben Grim(m) hehehehe

Almost 2 weeks ago when I saw lady in the water.
-
I'd rather see Hollywoodland, though. Just saying.
-
...when I scrolled past the picture of Diane Lane and all the blood rushed away from my brain. ... will have to return, uh, later...
-
Wow, if you don't keep up with movies nobody's going to know what the hell this flick is about.
-
Hehe. Scoop hungry blowhards.
