AICN Exclusive: MUTANT CHRONICLES teaser art!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Way back in May of last year I visited the Shepperton Studios pre-production offices of THE MUTANT CHRONICLES, a sci-fi war flick starring Thomas Jane, Ron Perlman, John Malkovich and Devon Aoki (Miho herself). I liked what I saw then, but it's easy to like artists renderings of a brutal sci-fi war. A lot rests on director Simon Hunter's shoulders in bringing this film to life.
My understanding is photography has wrapped and this image below has been approved for the teaser poster. It's pretty striking and, as teaser images are supposed to do, has me more interested in the flick than I was before. Click on the art to get the super big version. What do you folks think?

Get some WW1 grime and horror into sci-fi - awesome
-
um . . . phallic much?
Even the helmet kinda looks like, well i am guessing you get the gist of it. -
that the darkest ages are yet to come?
-
That's pretty much like the worst artwork I have ever seen.
-
I got a Resistance Fall of man vibe.
-
What can he say? His wife really loves shoes.
-
Anyone ever play doomtrooper? Didn't think so!
-
from 1997
-
would someone (or thing) waste such a perfectly good helmet? Tisk, tisk.
-
That butterball can buy his own shoes

Mutant Chronicles: Baraka's Revenge...

I don't know, looks badass, but most of the crap coming out today has cool artwork.
-
"It looks like a cock."
-
"Modlight's girlfriend looks like a pussy." Jus'a'joke; she looks great.
-
with Photoshop junk, now? I think it's an official requirement by some governing Hollywood entity.
-
LOL It's Rhea Perlman who married devito, but damn that was so funny, you made snapple come out of my nose. I'll be chucklin for days. LOL
-
totally badass poster. Hardcore. Love tha gritty steampunk feel. Hope the movie is as hardcore
-
sounds cool, but not the "have faith" thing. Take it away and you´ll have a good poster. From the set report one gets the feeling it could be something special. There hasn´t been a good scifi film with dark and gritty atmosphere in ages. I like the casting, but can´t imagine Thomas Jane as the leader. Still have nightmares from the Punisher movie. Worst casting ever.
-
that Ron Perlman was referring to when he spoke to Mori, Quint, whoever it was?
-
chances?
-
REALLY
-
poster has me intrigued
-
Thats what you really wanted so there, threw ya a bone....
-
If you like this poster, check out the original.

http://tinyurl.com/ydsfah Is it just me or does his daughter look like Karyn Parsons, Hilary from the Fresh Prince?
-
I've avoided anything about this because of the name. I didn't realize it was something serious. "Mutant Chronicles" is bad even for a video game or children's cartoon. They couldn't think of anything more intriguing and thought-provoking?
-
Very nice. I've played the tabletop game before, it wasn't too bad. Always liked it more than Warhammer, then played the RPG which was able to go into some very dark places. The poster there, gives a great feeling and if they can deliver on the tone without changing too much, I think we're in for a treat.
-
...and I'm there. Pretty much feel like anything he's in is either good or hilariously bad. But always entertaining.
-
I like the fact that they're going to take their time with the release date. Plenty of time to polish the f/x...
-
most horrible actor ever.
-
I'm waiting for "Hee Haw: Haw Harder" to be greenlit.
-
And Ron Perlman gotta Eat....some bullshit goats.
-
If this was the poster for Starship Troopers 3, I'd be excited.
-
'Mutant' never looks good in a title, and 'Chronicles'is starting to look as hubristic as Vin Diesel. Like the first part of the quote though. The second half is ass, as pointed out by MasterKenobi. I'll still be seeing it, though - the concept and cast sound ok, and whole year for SFX. How bad can they fuck this one up?
-
Just looked at the poster again.
-
No. When Ron said that, we were just wrapping CIGARETTE BURNS last year. We ran into him by coincidence at the hotel where we were all staying, and he joined us at our impromptu wrap party.
This year, when he left the set of PRO-LIFE, he was headed to the set of THE MUTANT CHRONICLES. The odd coincidence there is that John Carpenter was one of the original directors attached to this film several years ago when it almost happened. When I asked him about it, he seemed a little sad that this one got away. "It was going to be reeeeeeeally cool," he said. I hope it is. I kinda like the poster as an attempt to set a tone. -

Looks like resident evil to me.Could be good ,but Ron Pearlman better have lot`s of make-up.He looks like feel on most sunday mornings.This film will most likely be dissapointing.They`ll give us the best scenes in the trailer,and the whole jist of who`s who,what will happen ,and the movie will suck in comparison to the trailer.Sequel due 2010.
-
someone could clue me in to what the mutant chronicles is.
-
It's about these mutants, see... and this movie follows their (etc)
-
get people's names right...
-
Resistance Fall of Man. Anybody else think so or am I on my own here?
-
It was worth it...
-
How about a floating 'M'too?Beer foul dogsoup! Every drop is precious.

"smart bug"cow getting 'censored'little kids stomping bugshot chicks
-
But almost lost me at "John Malkovich" from that super-awesome movie Eragon. But then got me back when I heard Rhea Pearlman is in it too. She's so cute and hobbit-like, how can I resist?
-
...of Narnia represent "normal" cinematic chronicles, is it fair to expect these mutant chronicles to be emotionally indulgent, super-powered versions of those films where everyone is wearing black leather?
-
Nope, definately getting a Resistance vibe myself.
-
My geekness level must not be high enough. I am merely confused./
