20th Century Fox Library Titles Re-released With ‘Deadpool’ Trolling, Including ‘Predator’!
The marketing for Deadpool 2 has been amazing, with one of the coolest aspects being Deadpool’s complete takeover of 7-11 stores in recent weeks. The concept is that Deadpool himself has essentially hijacked all of the chain’s stores, unleashing his own Slurpee, straws and even “Tiny Hands” gummies (which are pretty goddamn delicious).
That brilliant marketing also spreads over to Walmart stores, where Deadpool has taken it upon himself to photo-bomb other films in the 20th Century Fox library!
New slipcovers were whipped up for a handful of the studio’s catalog titles, including Predator and The Terminator, with Deadpool edited into the classic film art.
Gotta love it!

Are you ready to go back?
After a record-breaking box office run and an extended cut re-release, A24 and director Kane Parsons’ Backrooms is heading home to Digital.
Backrooms will be available to rent or buy this Tuesday, July 14.
In the film, Chiwetel Ejiofor stars in Backrooms as the owner of Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire, who discovers a strange doorway in the basement of the furniture showroom. He sets out to explore the mysterious, liminal space, walking headfirst into a creepypasta nightmare.
Renate Reinsve (A Different Man) also stars in Backrooms.
Will Soodik wrote the screenplay.
I wrote in my review, “Backrooms is at once complex and sparse, but never repetitive. It might be set in 1990, but it effectively captures modern anxieties and isolation in a way that frequently makes your skin crawl. While the journey ultimately loses steam by its cryptic end, Parsons’ visual representation of the human psyche disturbs like no other.”
YouTube prodigy Kane Parsons makes his feature directorial debut based on his creepypasta-inspired video series, which debuted in 2022 and has amassed over 190 million views to date.
