Here’s the In-Progress Poster for Guillermo del Toro’s ‘The Shape of Water’
We wouldn’t normally write up a post about an unfinished movie poster, but dammit we are just that damn excited about Guillermo del Toro’s upcoming The Shape of Water.
The film’s first trailer is attached to 1/3 of the War for the Planet of the Apes prints screening out there in the country right now, and social media reaction to it has been pretty damn positive. My buddy Ben Gates noted that “it looked like a futuristic Creature From The Black Lagoon in a laboratory,“ which is pretty much all I needed to hear.
Unfortunately, that trailer hasn’t yet hit the net, and we’re not sure if/when it’s going to. But while we wait, you can check out the in-progress teaser poster for the film, being drawn up by artist James Jean. We expect to have much more to share real soon!

The Shape of Water is an other-worldly fairy tale, set against the backdrop of Cold War-era America circa 1963.
In the hidden high-security government laboratory where she works, lonely Elisa (Sally Hawkins) is trapped in a life of silence and isolation. Elisa’s life is changed forever when she and co-worker Zelda (Octavia Spencer) discover a secret classified experiment.
Michael Shannon, Richard Jenkins, Michael Stuhlbarg and Doug Jones also star.
With del Toro’s body of work – including Blade 2, Hellboy, Pan’s Labyrinth, Cronos, Mimic, Crimson Peak and even Pacific Rim – it’s hard to imagine this will be anything but something we should be covering.
Look for the R-rated film on December 8, 2017.
The killer tomatoes are back in Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, and the offiical poster for the brand new movie has been unleashed tonight.
Additionally, we’ve learned that the film’s theatrical release is set for this August, with a panel set for San Diego Comic-Con this month featuring the world premiere of the trailer.
While you wait, check out the official poster down below.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence will be released in select cities across the US beginning August 7th in major cities such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Diego, and others, and expanding to further locations throughout the month.
The fifth installment in the horror-comedy franchise pits the eternal power of nature against AI’s best and brightest.
In Attack of the Killer Tomatoes: Organic Intelligence, a young biotech prodigy develops a revolutionary genetically engineered vegetable designed to solve humanity’s problems. But when the experiment spirals out of control, it unleashes a new generation of killer tomatoes, setting the stage for another outrageous chapter in the long-running cult franchise.
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes co-creators Costa Dillon and J. Stephen Peace return to write and executive produce. David Ferino directs.
The film features an ensemble cast led by franchise icon John Astin (The Addams Family), reprising his role as Professor Gangreen, comedy legend David Koechner (Anchorman), Academy Award nominee Eric Roberts (The Dark Knight), horror favorite Catherine Corcoran (Terrifier), comedy veteran Dan Bakkedahl (Veep), Myrna Velasco (Star Wars Resistance), Vernée Watson (Shrinking, Fresh Prince of Bel-Air), and Paul Bates (Coming to America).
Attack of the Killer Tomatoes launched in 1979, followed by 1988’s Return of the Killer Tomatoes, 1991’s Killer Tomatoes Strike Back, and 1992’s Killer Tomatoes Eat France.
The franchise also spawned an animated series in 1990.
