That’s One Helluva Giant Rubber Monster on the ‘Colossal’ Poster

Published

on

2017 indie horror

Neon just released a brand new poster for Colossal that carries all kinds of subtext. Not only does it feature a giant rubber monster, you know, giving a nod to the old-school-cool Godzilla films, but it also perfectly represents the movie. You see, the finger, we can presume, is that of Anne Hathaway. In the film, Hathaway somehow gains the ability to control a giant monster that destroys a city. On this wonderful piece of art, she’s controlling a plastic monster with her finger. Yes, it’s clever, cute, and eye-catching. But wait, there’s even more! She stars as a hard-partying New Yorker who uses her mind to battle a giant lizard half a world away in Seoul. The tagline hits this right on the head: “There’s a monster in all of us.” God damn, guys, this is one hell of an impressive one-sheet! (Check out this equally impressive “slider”.)

Our very own Kalyn Corrigan reviewed Colossal, calling it “a clever ned fascinating mega monster movie that’s just as deeply comedic and entertaining as it is casually wise and perceptive.

From the exciting new distribution company, Neon, Nacho Vigalondo’s widely praised monster movie will open in theaters on April 7, 2017.

Gloria is an ordinary woman who, after losing her job and being kicked out of her apartment by her boyfriend, is forced to leave her life in New York and move back to her hometown. When news reports surface that a giant creature is destroying Seoul, South Korea, Gloria gradually comes to the realization that she is somehow connected to this far-off phenomenon. As events begin to spin out of control, Gloria must determine why her seemingly insignificant existence has such a colossal effect on the fate of the world.

Radius co-founder Tom Quinn and Alamo Drafthouse owner Tim League will distribute the film that made its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.

Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things),  Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.

The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).

Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.

Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.

Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.

In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
