Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with the poster for Cameron Crowe's upcoming ELIZABETHTOWN, which was first presented by the good folks over at Latino Review. ELIZABETHTOWN is one of my most anticipated flicks of the year. Crowe's ALMOST FAMOUS was my favorite flick the year it came out and still stands as one of the most touching and personally involving films I have ever seen. Granted, as a young man who started writing about film and interviewing celebrities at the age of 14 I had a rather unique experience with the film, but Crowe has not failed me yet. I haven't read the script, I haven't seen any footage, so this is all on faith. I can say I really like the poster. It reminds me a bit of the LOST IN TRANSLATION Bill Murray poster in terms of one image of an actor (in this case, two actors) showing everything we need to know about the character(s) on the poster. Body language, eyes, clothing... Says what we need to know. I can't wait for this one! Check out the poster below!

Hey folks, Harry here... Quint beat me to posting the above poster... but unlike him, I have seen close to 20 minutes of the film. Just select scenes from here or there. There's something just uncanny about the way Orlando Bloom holds himself in the footage. It reminds me of a young Jack Lemmon... You can't see it in the poster really... but in the footage, well it was there - mainly in his eyes and the way he shrugs a smirk into a smile. To me, this is the film that shows us if Orlando Bloom can be a star. For basically the first time, he doesn't have a horse, a sword or a bow. His ears are not pointy and he doesn't have 100,000 pixely people backing him up in battle. Here he's just an incredibly bright and talented man slapped with failure at a gargantuan level. That urn in his lap there... that's his dad. Kirsten is just a flirtatious flight attendent that... well, she's that amazing miracle that happens upon your life when you're scrapping a sewer for a dime. She's a quirky mysteriously odd bit of whimsy, she's a bucket of smiles and a pair of sympathetic eyes. She sees more than he could possibly guess. This will be amongst the very best films of the year. You'll see.
