This is Definitely the Coolest ‘Tremors’ Poster Ever Made
Horror fans often look back on the ’90s as being a not-great decade for the genre – Drew Dietsch’s column for us, We Love ’90s Horror, begs to differ – but no one can deny that the decade started off on a pretty stellar note. 1990 gave us Jacob’s Ladder, Misery, Child’s Play 2, Arachnophobia, Nightbreed and IT, along with an all-time great creature feature: Tremors.
One of our favorite artists, Steven Luros Holliday pays tribute to Tremors with his latest alternate poster, a limited edition “Artist Proof” that just went up for grabs. “This print was created for a private Facebook commission group,” Holliday explains, noting that only 35 of the posters were printed and just 10 are being offered up in his online shop.
Hands down, this is the single coolest piece of Tremors art we have *ever* seen, placing the characters from the 1990 classic inside the hungry mouth of a Graboid. Mmm, Bacon!
The 24″ x 36″ poster can be yours, while supplies last, for $75.
Described as “Ted meets ET,” David Mikalson’s raunchy comedy Goblin is being brought to life over at A24, and Will Forte (“The Four Seasons”) is now in talks to star.
Deadline first reported the news this afternoon.
Kenneth Branagh has been cast to voice the titular Goblin in the upcoming A24 movie, with the character said to be “green-colored” as well as “anatomically correct.”
Skyler Gisondo (Superman) is reportedly playing the Goblin’s human best friend.
The mysterious project sounds a bit like films including A Gnome Named Gnorm and more recently, Frankie Freako, though it’s important to note that it’s not billed as a horror movie.
Deadline details, “After [Mikalson] hatched the idea to make an outrageous buddy comedy about a goblin, using a practical puppet and operating outside the Hollywood system, his script quickly got him a rep team. While others might have eyed the raunchy comedy as a writing sample or planned to wait to see the micro-budget version Mikalson has been directing in Kentucky, A24 jumped all over it. The hot indie essentially has agreed to finance a full feature.”
“There was a lot of interest, but A24 came with what Mikalson really wanted, after spending all his money crafting the puppet title character: they acquired the movie and agreed to let him make it with a significantly increased budget than what he had left after creating the anatomically correct title character,” Deadline’s report goes on to explain.
What does the titular Goblin actually look like? Well, a cake that Mikalson had whipped up for his reps might give us our first look at what to expect. Deadline explains the photo you’ll see down below, “Take a look at the cake he commissioned with Marc Gravelle at Cake Art in West Hollywood, to present to his reps as thanks for making his dream come true.”
