A pretty nice PRIMEVAL poster has hit!! Check out dem bones here!!!

Published at:  Dec 04, 2006 3:06:35 PM CST

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the first poster for PRIMEVAL, a horror flick from Touchstone starring Dominic Purcell, Orlando Jones and Brooke Langton. The poster is pretty gruesome, actually. And my understanding was that this flick was a giant crocodile movie... if it is, then I really love the misleading tagline on the poster.

I'm a sucker for big crocodiles or alligators. I can't think of one movie featuring a ridiculously large croc or gator that I haven't loved... ALLIGATOR, LAKE PLACID, DARK AGE... those foreign crocodile JAWS rip-offs from the '70s... Okay, Tobe Hooper did that terrible giant Croc movie, but I'll only count theatrical giant croc/gator flicks.

So, between this and ROGUE, I think I'll have a happy 2007. Enjoy the poster!!!

    It's like a cross between that lousy Douglas/Kilmer

    by chrth

    film (the one where you rooted for the Lions) and Lake Placid. I mean, I'm assuming Orlando Jones is there to get some laughs, right?

    Great frickin title

    by cheif brody

    How long has cinema been around...and we are just NOW getting a film called "Primeval"? Hope the movie lives up to that awesome title. I can already hear Don LaFontaine's voice in the trailer....

    Can an animal really be called a "serial killer"?

    by doctor_sin

    I mean, yeah, Gustave the Croc is big and has eaten plenty of people (like 17 or so up and down a coast)...but, I don't think of a huge animal being a "serial killer." I like the poster and all - I just think they better jaz up the promotional stuff for this or else people will cry false advertising and no one wants to split hairs. That said, I'm looking forward to it.

    Sounds dumb

    by doggus47

    Plot Synopsis: The high-stakes adventure follows a news producer (Purcell), cameraman (Jones) and reporter who are dispatched to South Africa to track down and bring home alive a legendary 25-foot crocodile known as Gustave. However, their quarry proves far more elusive and deadly than they anticipated, and their situation turns even more perilous when a feared warlord targets them for death.

    A croc as a serial killer?

    by fleet

    ...That's just stupid... As for being the most prolific? Prolific meaning productive, abundant, creative, plentiful... How fuckn stupid... any wild animal who kills it's prey as a natural predator would by this definition be prolific...

    It'll be Straight to Video here in SA, Im sure - They won't even bother with Straight to DVD.

    So is Dominic Purcell the next Colin Farrell?

    by creasybear

    Seems he's getting a bunch of little projects in a row before he's gotten the chance to prove whether he can bring in money or not.

    LOL anchorite, I thought the same thing.

    by nomihs

    I just saw the Orlando and skipped the Jones. Yeah, the tagline is misleading and will skew the staying/buzz power of the film.

    It will be a completely different movie if Orlando Jones gets eaten OUT rather than just eaten. Your hopes for the movie sound a little awkward; A croc eating OUT a comedian. EWWWW.

    and she would've played a damn good Jean Grey in the X-Men films. Famke was alright, but Brooke has something else... I can't put my hairy monkey finger on(or can I?)

    and if its in the first 3.5 seconds, I can only imagine what they would do for the climax. (so to speak)

    So it's a movie about a real life serial killer? Why all the skulls on the poster? Are those the real skulls of the real victims? What kind of sick fuck...it's about a crocodile? Oh. That sounds about right. WTF?

    H.H. Holmes

    by kafka07

    Might be cool judging by how gruesome the poster is. But really one of the most prolific serial killers in history was HH Holmes, and that pile of bones in the poster is what his basement looked like. There's a documentary film out there on the guy, a charming fellow with an elaborate castle. A live action film about him would be cooler than a croc.

    Huh?

    by purgatori

    I just read the plot for this. This sounds like a complete clusterfuck of a film. And Dominic Purcell sucks ass. He's a terrible actor. After having seen him in Blade 3 and Gravedancers plus his other wonderful work on his first Fox series John Doe, how can anyone hire this piece of wood? Ugh..

    This sounds like it belongs with Anaconda Hunt for the Red October Blood Diamond on Lake Placid During a Prison Break

    by wopr

    Oh, the humanity. Misleading, indeed. That is a fairly intense poster. I'm not a huge fan of killer animals and John Gacy type insects. The jury is still out on this one until I see more evidence that this will evolve into a well-acted movie and not degenrate into a glorified blood fondu fountain.
