Artist Olly Moss has created two gorgeous posters for Duncan Jones’
Moon and the director’s upcoming film
Source Code. The two posters are part of Mondo’s new “Director’s Series”. The
Source Code poster is so much better than
the official one, which makes the movie look like it’s about a man who’s being attacked by iPads.
Both posters measure 18″x24″ and cost $35 each. The Moon poster is limited to an edition of 250 while the Source Code poster is limited to an edition of 200. Hit the jump to check out both of these beauties along with a statement on Duncan Jones about having his work added to Mondo’s Director Series. Be sure you’re following @MondoNews for the sale date announcement. Source Code will make its world premiere on March 11th at the SXSW Film Festival. It opens nationwide on April 1st.

Pierce Brosnan will star in Susanne Bier’s upcoming light-hearted romance movie
All You Need Is Love. Bier, who won an Oscar for
In a Better World and is known more for her stark family melodramas, told the Italian newspaper La Repubblica that
All You Need Is Love is “a tender story with a much lighter atmosphere than my previous works: Enough with conflicts.”
24 Frames reports that Bier wrote Brosnan’s role with the actor in mind. Oddly, La Repubblica reports that the film will center on a Danish family, and Brosnan doesn’t speak the language. However, it’s possible that movie is bilingual or that the Danish family will simply speak English.
I’ve found Brosnan to be a far more exciting actor ever since he broke free of James Bond. Those films gave his profile a boost and he did a fine job, but he’s done far more memorable work since then in movies like
The Matador,
Seraphim Falls, and
The Ghost Writer. He recently joined the comedy
I Don’t Know How She Does It and will next be seen in the religious comedy
Salvation Boulevard.

previous posters of “Tall bearded man holds mallet”, these new posters give audiences what they really want: words over the actors’ faces. Yes, whether you’re white, old, female, or black, the word “Thor” makes the perfect addition to your gigantic mug.
Hit the jump to check out the posters. Thor stars Chris Hemsworth, Natalie Portman, Tom Hiddleston, Anthony Hopkins, Rene Russo, Stellan Skarsgard, Jaimie Alexander, Kat Dennings, Ray Stevenson, Josh Dallas, Tadanobu Asano, Idris Elba, Clark Gregg, and Colm Feore. The film opens in 3D on May 6th.
Update: Paramount has sent over high resolution versions of both posters

IFC has released a trailer for James Gunn’s upcoming superhero flick Super. I like that the trailer has to animate over the language and violence in order to make it viewable for all-ages. It’s a James Gunn movie and it’s best to expect something violent, twisted, and darkly comic. Super looks like it’s going to deliver on all three counts and that makes me very excited to see this flick.
Hit the jump to check out the trailer. Super stars Rainn Wilson, Ellen Page, Liv Tyler, Kevin Bacon, and Nathan Fillion. It opens April 1st.
