Awesome Tyler Stout ‘The Thing’ Handbill Set Now On Sale
Tyler Stout is easily one of my favorite poster artists, consistently churning out ace work – he currently covers a good bit of wall space at my house – for some of the best classic and contemporary films around, as well as concert ads. One of the best posters he’s ever created is for John Carpenter’s The Thing, which ran as part of the Alamo Drafthouse’s Big Screen Classics series a few years back. Not only does he manage to cram the entire now-legendary ensemble cast onto the sheet, but he also captures the cold, bleak tone of the film with multiple variations of blue hues, and shows the contrast of outer space and the small, isolated research facility by using the settings as the header and footer. Occasionally, Stout will send out handbills with poster orders and this morning, he surprised blog readers by putting some for The Thing and The Big Lebowski on sale. His poster for the sci-fi horror classic goes for upwards of $600 on eBay, so for those who have always wanted one to hang on their wall, this is the next best thing. For $35 plus $5 shipping, you get a set of 15 handbills stamped and initialed by Stout. You can order the set here, and if history is any indication of how long these will be available before they sell out, I would guess the end of today, maybe tomorrow – his entire stock is completely depleted in minutes 99% of the time. Read on to check out the sweet set, and get ready to be $40 poorer.
Fede Alvarez’s (Evil Dead, Don’t Breathe) Alien: Romulus will be unleashed in theaters nationwide on August 16, and Entertainment Weekly brings us two new images today.
The first image you’ll find below gives us another fresh look at the film’s Xenomorph, with Alvarez promising the outlet that it’s the most H.R. Giger-faithful Xenomorph of them all.
Entertainment Weekly writes, “… Alvarez promises [the Xenomorph’s design] is closer to H.R. Giger’s original creation than any other iteration.” The late H.R. Giger was of course integral to Ridley Scott’s Alien, designing the iconic monster the franchise is centered on.
The other image you’ll find below gives us a look at two of the human characters from Alien: Romulus, Archie Renaux’s Tyler and Cailee Spaeny’s heroine Rain Carradine.
Head over to Entertainment Weekly for their full preview of the upcoming film.
Here’s the full official plot synopsis for Alvarez’s Alien: Romulus, which comes in the wake of Disney reviving the Predator franchise in spectacular fashion with last year’s Prey…
“While scavenging the deep ends of a derelict space station, a group of young space colonizers come face to face with the most terrifying life form in the universe.”
Cailee Spaeny (The Craft: Legacy, Pacific Rim Uprising) leads the cast alongside Isabela Merced, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Spike Fearn and Aileen Wu.
Alien: Romulus takes place in between the first two films. It’s been described as “an original standalone feature,” one that “will focus on a group of young people on a distant world.”
Fede Alvarez co-wrote the script with Rodo Sayagues (Evil Dead). Ridley Scott is on board as producer for the film, the first movie in the franchise to be released by Disney.
